Buzz / Guitar World interview

Hot off the press! Nothing earth shattering here, but thought I'd share:

it'd be like we lived in Adelaide

Radelaide getting the shout out! I was in attendance the last time they played in Adelaide, Nov 2017, it's been too long.

Sucks they didn't come to Australia during the touring cycle for PAT I would've loved to see some of those songs live.

Thanks for posting! I liked hearing more about his guitar playing on 'Hund'. I don't tend to really notice Buzz in terms of guitar solos. I suppose i don't really consider such a solo unless it is something akin to a traditional solo and of course Buzz plays in his own "off" solo manner. A bit like an anti-solo! Makes me wonder what other Melvins songs he solos on that i haven't really noticed before.

On another thread it was proven that my favorite Melvins solos were Mark D ("Tipping the Lion" and "June Bug") but I think "Youth of America" might be a good example of a Buzz solo that's both noise and melody? I don't know. Shit I even made notes on the solos on all the albums on a paper somewhere...

The outro of "Graveyard" is pretty killer if I recall correctly.

For me a good solo is hooky, which kind of means it has to be at least partially hummable. When buzz writes a good melody he tends to write the whole song to careen with it, not just solo over a steady rhythm section.

My favorite Mark D solos are from Pick It n' Flick It and Instant Larry. We may need to start a thread about best Melvins solos (if there isn't one already)...

[John Schuller]

Mark D is such a ripping player. His solo on REVOLVE just rules. I mean, it is one of those guitar solos that are as important as any other part of the song. Perfect in every way.

Solos? Little Judas Chongo.

I'm a sucker for the Dr Mule style solo that's actually 3 bit crushed guitars and a stylophone. Anyone else? No one? Okay.

That's a killer show too! Got it on DVD years ago. Whole thing is (was?) up on Youboob.

Wow! That footage was amazing. What a fucking cool band. There are none equal.

[Dumpster D]

I've watched that whole show on YT a bunch, It's insane.

I think that music is an integral part of our life. I really like Lana Del Rey, for her sensual songs.
