new popularity?

While it's nice to be respected, Buzzo says, he doesn't think too much about the band's standing in the world of music:

"I guess it feels great. It's one of things where you go, 'Yeah, great. Now what?' You have total respect. Great. How do you translate that into groceries? You know what I mean? There's only so far you can take that. Most people don't read press clippings. You know? You can't walk into Home Depot and everybody there is like: 'Wow! Here's a million dollars. Would you like a discount? Here's a discount for being so respected.' It doesn't happen."

And besides that, if the band members were ever tempted to sell out, who would be buying?

"You write down a list of people we could do that with, and we'll take it from there," he says. "Somebody that's ready to give me a bunch of money to sell out. I don't see that happening. I don't look like Justin Timberlake. So selling out is not an option."

Buzz is looking for a bigger and different audience

First Glen says Pike wants to "make it big" now this. Is nothing sacred??? 

i didn't mean to make it big,it's still quality music,just more accessible. who doesn't like a song like Civilized Worm or NWB?my mother would headbang on them

Rubbish Buzz, look at Pantera, Slipknot, or the wanker from Nickelback for that matter.  Good looks don't matter

In fact Melvins could've written Houdini records and Honey Buckets instead of Honky's, Stags etc.. and would've been no-doubt substantially more successful. Perhaps they wouldn't be around today if they had taken that path but I have no doubt Melvins could be successful if they really tried - not on the same level as the likes of Slayer and Metallica obviously but certainly a lot more well-known.

Not that I want them too though...or I really care what they do!
