An Interview With The Melvins
By KUOI Staff

The Melvins have been making kick ass shit for like forty-seven years. Nobody had ever made totally un-listenable music until they came along and ruined everything. They

It's great when people perform an interview and then carry through by transcribing and sharing it.

Great questions, truely one of the best interviews in a while.

Unjustly so, as far as im concerned.

first to start was Albini, remember Buzz saying they couldn't understand why he was talking shit about them during an interview and all this even though they respected him. i guess that's how things started. can't find the interview right now but be sure i'm going to post it as soon as possible

Doesnt sound like they respect him now tho! Gotta say i think Buzz is kinda off here when he says Albini records "98% garbage all day". Sure i bet alot is but 98% worth?? I guess one thing that both Steve and Buzz share is their outspoken nature as regards the music biz. Now i REALLY wanna hear a Albini produced Melvins LP!

Presumably Albini's doing what he wants to do and what he's good at. Ditto Melvins.

ah,i guess that was Buzz style for saying he'd never do the producer/engineer. Buzz is for working hard with the band and play lots of shows.Albini got totally a different attitude,touring and recording albums is not a obligation for him.

Buzzo is right. Albini has produced some great albums: P.J. Harvey, Zeni Geva, Nirvana, High on  Fire & of coarse his own bands over the years, but those are a small fraction of his full production resume.

i guess it would be a lot easier to see the Pope collaborating with Mayhem than Albini with Melvins

You missed out: Om, Neurosis , The Jesus Lizard, Pixies, Tad, Mono, Zu, Helmet, GSYBE, Fugazi, Melt Banana, Oxbow, Brainiac, Low, Mogwai, Weedeater etc etc. The guys been involved in some really great work.

[norecess]

surely there are some albini-recorded albums i really like, but i think that has more to do with the bands who play on it.

[ManWithNoName]

If Albini turned down all the shitty bands he would never make any money.
