Buzz is one of the important underground musicians. He really helped bridge the gap between punk rock and heavy metal. His influence went far and wide.
Fun fact, they are referred to as the "Godfathers of Grunge", which I disagree with, they were always more punk / groove. If you listen to songs like "Revolve", you can clearly see how Rob Zombie, Sevendust, even Korn stole that sound from the Melvins. And never gave them credit.
Buzz has a great memory. He can recall the littlest thing with great detail. Also super smart guy, extremely talented. Great band, definitely should be on more people list of influences.
Just saw Melvins in London…took me 30 years to do it..man it was so so weirdly heavy…was an unforgettable show for me. I love how cool Buzzo is, down to earth and doesn’t do any of that political crap.
He's a GEN Xer. We don't put politics in our business. I 100% agree he is a great guy, seen them a few times, Bogart's in Long Beach in the very early 90's, they were awesome then, and still are. And you're right, they are a lot heavier than you'd think live.
Buzz is the grumpiest down to earth person.The fact that he is still playing and gas a massive back catalog shows how hard working a guy he is.Also the Melvins have influenced countless bands and deserve more acclaim but such is the case with art.
Buzz is a class act…always has been. Touring machine and never succumbed to the stereotypical pitfalls that engulf so many other “famous“ musicians. He’s a great conversationalist as well.
@@alvinhaglund5811 Envy? Google it. Oh, the hardest working? On the road as a working musician all these years, putting out 30 albums and not making big money, just grinding it for a living? That is a real rocker.
I met Buzz a couple of weeks ago. He was smiling and very kind but he was chilling and I think he wanted no fans bugging him LOL. But he was very nice.
Hey! Great interview/video! I was lucky enough to work with Buzz/Dale during the Atlantic years. (Houdini, Stoner Witch & Stag). They were super cool to me and it was such a great experience for me as a kid right out of college, especially considering I had ONLY heard the Lysol release prior to 1993. It was cool to meet guys who played non generic heavy music that were still into the Stones, Kiss, Sabbath and Black Flag, etc.
86 may have been Sound Seas. I started flying down to El Paso from Oregon around 82 to see family and going to shows at the Kokehouse around 83 or so. Great interview!
Thank you for the video. What a great channel to stumble upon. Excellent guest too. I wish some of the other guys could have participated. Keep doing this Jim. New subscriber
Man I live in El Paso, how did I not know about this interview for one and for two That the Melvins were here!!! FML i missed it just like I missed the chats when they came through. I miss all the good stuff in this town......
Wow! I just stumbled on this because I enjoy Buzz interviews. Jim Ward too! That’s awesome. Sparta and ATDI have always been an incredibly important part of the soundtrack of my life as well as the Melvins. All in one. So happy to subscribe to this. Thank you
Buzz is an awesome guy and this interviewer was great too. I could have listened for another hour. And one more thing...There are lots makeshift wonders, seven in the world...five of them will not be noticed and three will not be heard.
I've talked to Buzz a few times and I've seen a few different interviews he's done. I'm actually sitting next to a guitar he was nice enough to autograph for me. I always found him to be a bit "impenetrable" and his conversations even with well known interviewers - although well thought and expressed - were also reserved and generally superficial. He likes baseball and playing in a band. That's about as personal as it usually gets. This one was a bit different. Although it's standard "Buzztalk" about grinding out tour after tour no matter what, he also showed me a bit more of his humanity and emotional depth than the usual interview. Maybe getting older and banging on acoustic guitars has a mellowing effect on him.
Born and raised in Northwest Washington. When grunge blew up, I was in the Army. I embraced Alice in Chains, Nirvana and Pearl Jam. I only just recently listened to the Melvins. Now, when I listen to "classic" grunge, I hear some of the Melvins in most of those bands songs. The Melvins were ground zero for grunge
Spot on about college. People go now because it’s been ingrained in them that they won’t be successful without a degree. That is so false. Many people are successful without going to college. And many people who go to college don’t use their degrees in their careers.
Melvins July 07, 1986 El Paso, TX - Sound Seas w/ RKL, Beyond Possession Buzz was born on March 25, 1964. He would have been 22 at the time of the 1986 El Paso show.

I love Buzz. Anytime I see a podcast or interview with him, I listen to it. He's such a smart guy, and Melvins rule!
I concur
i love his jolly chuckle
He can be a proper dick I've heard. But can't we all? 😅

there would not be many bands. If it was not for Buzz and Melvins!

@@grampagamingguy6833”Grunge” refers more to the Seattle music scene in the late 80’s, early 90’s rather than describing a sound.

perfect description!..&he's funny!
Seems like a nice guy.
Hi I once met him he’s really supportive
King Buzzo is one of the hardest working musicians in rock.
I think they have a career that a lot of musicians can envy.
not sure what that even means

have seen both these guys live in the last maybe 4 months and they both kill it.. so great live
it is so nice to see two great guys with an extense baggage of living just talking to each other like that, bring us more, please
Glad you enjoyed it!
Buzz taught me its ok to be abnormal. Thanks Buzz! 🫠

I love Buzz.

@@Jesus_H._Tap-DancingChrist Senile Animal so far is my fav
@@Jesus_H._Tap-DancingChrist Yes, all of them...😂
Buzz is a very wise man!❤
King Buzzo has stayed true to himself right from Day 1 , an absolute LEGEND !
86 may have been Sound Seas. I started flying down to El Paso from Oregon around 82 to see family and going to shows at the Kokehouse around 83 or so. Great interview!
I love the Melvins man,in my 20s bought their CDs great drinking music I may add. 😁 🍻
Goes better with shrooms for later stuff, heroin for the earlier albums.
@@Jesus_H._Tap-DancingChrist oh,..heh... You like the hard stuff . Man I gave up drinking 24 years ago but don't let me spoil your fun. Cheers 🤟
Buzz is always a great interview
Jim!!!love your music from Argentina!!!
I’ve met Buzz, he was super nice.
Buzz you are a legend and a true artist! Thank you for everything!
What a great interview. He seems like a down to earth super creative guy. Straight down the line. No BS
If there’s one person in music I would like to sit down with and talk to, it would be Buzz.
what a wise, humble man. love the host too
I love the Melvins and I love to hear Buzz talk
The follow up needs to be Buzz’s wife interview.
Great Interview! Short Sweet and Hearty , Thanks for Sharing !

Both interesting ppl,as muso's & themselves! gr8,laidback interview style from Jim! keep up the good work!
So glad your parents gave you a year off, Jim! 😁Just found the chanel. Thanx!
Gold star to the interviewer- he didn’t ask about Kurt Cobain.
Buzz is a respectable man. Also, an awesome songwriter and musician…of course.
Man I live in El Paso, how did I not know about this interview for one and for two That the Melvins were here!!! FML i missed it just like I missed the chats when they came through. I miss all the good stuff in this town......

Buzz talking about his wife is so sweet.
That was awesome thank you Buzz and Jim
The king of grunge
What a great interview. Most interviews with Buzz lead to Nirvana and Kurt Cobain, and we've heard it all before. This was refreshing.
Buzz does not drink… a good interview
Jim you’re the best! Just stumbled onto this and looking forward to Sparta in Rochester in a few weeks!
Buzz talks more about the El Paso show in this clip.

Hells yes Buzzo, and the most underrated member of At The Drive in.
Oh shit....gonna have to que up some One Armed Scissor now!
@@nickhartman6372Get away….get awwaaaaaaayyyy.
Holy shit at the drive in. I must be late to this but damn!
Buzz would of been an awesome granddad.
Buzz is such a class act

Truth! There is a great awakening happening right now, hard to see at first but it's palpable.
What a truly lovely man, his wife is a very lucky woman.
They get along pretty well. I even would guess similar characters doin the magic here. Also good topics brought up. Nice.
two absolute legends talking to each other
Buzz is the only legend here. I love At the Drive In, but let's be honest: history probably won't remember them.
yeah, cus they were too damn good, and they are way too damn good to go un noticed or unlistened, just sayin' is all.@@nickhartman6372
Just saw the melvins open for mr bungle and they were awesome
Good guy, met him back in like 98 at First Ave
Well done. Thanks
Wonderful discussion!
According to celebrity network, king buzzo net worth "500 thousand"
Touching comments about his relationship with his wife.
Buzz is the coolest..i just wish he wrote more love songs
Long live king Buzzo
great interview.
Sound seas! I used to have so many flyers. All gone now.
I knew he like Blade Runner!
Big ❤ for Buzz
Thanks Buzz 🖤

Go see the Melvins….right now……go! It’s weird that you’re still sitting there when you should be going to see the Melvins!
The King!!!
Holy shit. The Buddy Holly thing. Love it.
King Buzzo! 🙌🙌🇧🇷🇧🇷
I wanna hit the like button because this is a great video, BUT it’s at 666 likes and I don’t want to be the one who messes with that number 😉
What a cool dude.
Dude's hair is RAD!
it's king buzzo and hes awsome
Love King Buzzo and all Melvins tunes. He kinda looks like sideshow bob crossed with Carrot Top lol
they shoulda called the lady at the end just to say hello
King Buzzo!!! 👍
This should have been longer.
Whenever the camera is just on Buzz, I keep seeing that plant, and all I see is a finger pointing at him 👈 this guy…
Could you possibly ask Buzzo if he's ever been to El Paso?
I like Buzz's shirt. Who is that on it, anyone know?
Francis Picabia
I've got it king buzzo is awsome and he reminds me of the toecutter lol
Dido back in the day.
Buzz rules!
Teenagers definitely still work today.
Cool dude
Buzz is the real f*cking deal
i remember seeing melvins open for primus in the late 80's..didn't like them but now i love the melvins and primus..meh. great interview!
Lovin the jehri curl Buzz
El Paso - I spent a month there one night
The guy from the Cure looks different without lipstick.
Call him Roger, he hates that.
I've been a fan since since I heard lysol. He has been an influence on my guitar playing for years. I never knew until recently that not only do we share a name but also the same birthday.
