An Interview With The Melvins By KUOI Staff

[norecess]

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

especially since he's not getting any royalties from 'in utero'

[>>>JZS<<<]

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

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.

Of coarse, I wasn't gonna list his whole catalog.

you missed out on MULE, Pegboy, Breeders, Rye Coalition, Rapeman, Breeders,  and P.W.Long's Reelfoot.

[DCGod]

Albini produces albums for bands, is a jackass, and the Melvins hate him.  Case closed.

[glen]

yeah but!

what are we talking about again?   oh yeah,

I think buzz has very specific taste in music/artistry.

IE: he thinks everything sucks.   so?   so do I most the time.  its the true gen x narcissist way.

[>>>JZS<<<]

Didn't Albini record the last Meursault album. 

[Chief Ten Beers]

Albini's name isn't on any Fugazi album. He did the demos for In On The Kill Taker which were never released. All Fugazi's albums are self produced/recorded with the Dischord house man Don Zientera.

I think it's hilarious people getting fired up over Buzz's comments on Albini. I love both Melvins and Shellac, almost equally, but they're two different animals. I don't think Buzz dogged Steve or his band in any of the comments. He said it like it is. Shellac ARE weekend warriors when it come to touring. And yeah, Steve/Bob will record any band at Electrical, because it pays the bills and obviously they must enjoy that work.

I browse the Electrical Audio forum, but am not logged in. I hope someone posts this interview over there. Would love to see the reaction from the suck-ups over there. Steve and Bob both post regularly, maybe they'd have a laugh over it.

Big Black is pretty good, but I don't care for what he said about the Butthole Surfers because Gibby Haynes is God and therefore can get away with anything in my book. If he killed my whole family and all of my friends, I'd let him get away with it. Because he's fucking GIBBY HAYNES, MAN.

[jules]

Attaboy! Finally, the voice of reason!

Unfortunately God is a little burned out on drugs. I really wish those guys would get their shit together.  Paul Leary is way too talented to not be writing music.

[TheLegitMan93]

If Gibby Haynes iz GAWD, then Paul Leary is his screamin' angel messenger from above!

[dead mike]

I gotta disagree with the melvins on this.

Black coffee is terrific.

[glen]

Paul Leary is way too talented to not be writing music.

check out CARNY. its leary's other band.  I believe they are working on a release right now.

gibby haynes may be my hero but he's also a bit of a dick as I've learned over the years. 

moody, grumpy and treats fans like dogshit for the most part.  so you may walk away very dissapointed if you were to ever meet him legitman.
