"I'd rather have him be alive & unfamous than famous & dead." Heartbreaking words from a real friend who genuinely cared for Kurt's health and safety. ❤️🔥💔 All hail King Buzzo
I said this before too that it would have been better if Kurt stayed with Tracy Marander or left Courtney like he intended had he lived and faded into obscurity like Jason Everman and the rest of us did that are still alive.
@@Factory_MuffKurt I think had made up the plan for his life by the time he was 17 or 18. He wanted to get famous, and if that didn’t make him happy … well you know what he did If Nirvana wouldve gone down as regional badasses like Mudhoney and not as the biggest band in the world I think he would still he with us. I dont think Tracey or anybody else could save him
I'm not a huge Melvin's fan, I can't lie, but I love listening to Buzz's takes. He's awesome. I appreciate that he isn't a dick about the inevitable, endless Cobain inquiries. People have an insatiable appetite for Nirvana/Kurt Cobain insight (myself included). It's awesome hearing him on all rock topics, and his appreciation for Judy Garland and Tina Turner is badass.
@@GodyP Yeah, it's sad but but true, and that part is unfortunate. I like Buzz Osborne as an artist and musician, but I think he's kidding himself when he claims he's not jealous of what happened to Nirvana in 1991. He was/is jealous, and the reason why is a total no brainer. KC was Osborne's little brother in some ways, his protege, even, at least early on. So to go from being the king of Montesano and having this guy hauling your gear around looking up to you, to suddenly becoming the biggest rockstar in the entire world and mentioned right alongside your lifelong icons...that would be tough. It would be complicated to even process that, and I think most people would just have to emotionally detach from the situation, which Osborne did, I think. He claims he would never want that lifestyle, etcetera, but I mean...c'mon man. Lol. I just don't buy that. I'm sure he got into music to be barely scraping by still touring at with an AARP card in front of 100 fans. One can both want and not want something simultaneously, we are not simply binary "1's and 0's" emotional beings. Things are often complex. All that said, I still love Buzz Osborne, and think he's totally brilliant. Truly original and a total trailblazer. I love his music, too, some of it. I also think he loves Kurt Cobain in a familial kind of way, and is actually quite protective over Cobain's legacy and image, while also probably being disappointed at how it turned out for his friend. People are complicated and things are never quite black and white. So he's a bit jealous of his old friend Kurt Cobain, it happens, I think he also loves and respects Kurt Cobain. To make it that far from Aberdeen and Montesano..Weatherwax High.. and to see someone impact the whole world knowing full-well that their life would have been the usual small-town bullshit otherwise, it's wild... has to take years to digest. Buzz has the whole story, he knows just what a longshot it was for those goons to do what they did. Surely he cannot help but to marvel at it from time to time, probably in the quiet evenings when artistic folk are prone to unwanted flights of introspection and reflecting. Might also still be processing all of that shit little by little, would take a lifetime for most, especially if you're the Type-A, rebellious kinda person that Buzz is. Anyway, just my opinions and thoughts, who knows. I've seen Osborne also have genuine moments where you can tell all the Nirvana shit fucks with him quite a bit. He stood up for Cobain during the Montage of Heck fiasco. Plus, Buzz is not some musical casualty who exists purely to reflect on Nirvana. Buzz Osborne is a musical pioneer, and without him there is no way you get Nirvana. No way. He's done a lot of incredible projects, especially his acoustic stuff.
@@slaythembeforeme way too full of something... 🤔😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Buzz is just another never was gloating over the corpses of dead men. Dead men who sold more records and connected with more people than this fat half-assed no talent hack. Seriously I'm fkn disabled and have arthritis in my hands and I can play guitar better than this loudmouth.
@@slaythembeforemeThinks he’s a song writing machine he is pompous 🤡 in Buzzos mind Buzzo is the greatest musician ever his only claim to fame is Kurt liked him why no interview he does doesn’t involve Cobain
I love the fact i only started listen to the melvins recently when i heard kurt say in a documentary thatthe melvins arethe hardest...and boy o boy i get to enjoy there catalog like it justcame out
God I cant imagine how tired he is of EVERY SINGLE interviewer asking him about kurt. I get it of course but they have to understand that it's not all romantacised in his head, to him it's just that his friend is gone and never coming back.
Everybody thinks that Buzz got jealous of Nirvana. Dave Grohl once said in an interview that they had asked Buzz to be there second guitar player. He turned them down and that's when they got Pat Smear. Buzz basically said that he knew Kurt was a mess and he didn't want any part of that situation as I'm sure he knew how it would turn out.
Exactly because of this your attitude, monsieur le Buzz Osborne, because of your widely open mind I've made the portraits of you (and Dale)! And every time I listen to you or to your music, I'm glad again that this happened. Sorry for my English, I'm from a martian minority on Jupiter and don't even understand my mother tongue.
Keepin it real thanks for this words Buzz as an artist sometimes you feel frustrated when decades pass by and you're audience doesn't grow but true first and.foremost i do it for me and as i would appreciate as a fan and yes there is nothimg more satisfying than that
Buzzo the eternal contrarian. No way he actually thinks the Lou Reed album is better than their 80s stuff. I swear sometimes he's like listening to an edgy teenager.
Buzz says after two generations no matter how much wealth one has it will be gone. That's not actually true, depending on what bloodline you're born into.
Interview summary: Kurt Cobain, drugs, social media, ?Zena hijacked 10 minutes, venue size, healthcare. Another interview with Buzz where the interviewer didn’t do much research.
Rite with u there buzz...❤❤..afterso many years i still can not phathom why pop music or shall i say poop music sell so much...like whats going into peoples ears..
A good friend needs to step in and save the overwhelmed superstar get their feet back on the ground before it's too late. Just talk heart to heart. "Dude, forget the hype, take care of yourself."
yeah, they make their money by throwing their bodies around for 90 minutes with 9 lbs wood slung over their shoulders. 4-5 nights a week for months at a time, and they have to do that consistently before any money starts coming in.
kurt was interested in big t*** ask tracy mauraner , and the idea of a statue of "king" :P buzz would be disgusting if that ever happened never will buzzo
Elvis was not a hick, Buzz..you a cool dude, wake the fuck up. Elvis was totally connected running around with other rich Jewish kids in Memphis, that's right Elvis was Jewish, not that it makes a difference, except you probably did not know it, Buzz is also. Marketing people as working class is an old trick. Did you know the Rolling Stones were funded by LSE? Ask yourself why a School of Economics would finance a band? Go see if USC School of Business will fund your rock n roll band. Buzz is legit, but not too bright on the reality of the world. See Miles W Mathis for door 3 and to wake up for real.
I don’t get why he tries to diminish Kurt/nirvana every chance he gets, Kurt always spoke highly of him and his band he just comes off as jealous/bitter, You don’t have to put him on a pedestal but he legit only brings up the negative any time he’s mentioned
It's called a counterpoint. Now go home and worship your Kurt poster. [For the record, Kurt was an a$$ hole. A Contrarian. And no one talks bad about him from the band because who wants 1 million fanboys and girls harrasing you like some twisted junkie beatlemania]
He doesn't diminish Kurt, he just tells the truth about Kurt. Buzz hung out with Cobain for years pre-Nirvana and pre-fame. So he genuinely knew Kurt was a true friend of his. Buzz just gives honest, no bullshit interviews. Buzz once said something along the lines and f : I really wish that there was an infamous alive Kurt, instead of the famous dead Kurt.
@@Michael-zt1yl naw he definitely tries to diminish him, theres an interview where he just straight up says he only got famous because of his “wounded junkie image” and he’s smiling the entire time I’ve never heard him say anything positive without immediately following it with negative bs, it’s blatantly obvious he resents Kurt
@@GodyPBuzzo is not wrong though. When the press like rolling stone asked sub pop for their hottest band and when Tad showed up they weren’t interested. They didn’t want to talk to the “fat, bearded lumberjack”. They wanted to talk to the Cornell’s, Staleys, vedders. You know, the “ handsome wounded junkies “. Those bands are great and certainly had more commercial appeal but there was no promotion for the “ugly” musicians. Buzz isn’t bitter about nirvana or soundgarden being more famous. He’s bitter at the music press.
"I'd rather have him be alive & unfamous than famous & dead."

I am the opposite. I fucking love The Melvins, but when I listen to Buzz it reduces my love just ever so slightly. He comes across bitter to me.
@@GodyP moron
Dude is a real as one rock star gets! A G*d damn national treasure.
People have to know who you are to be a national record
Buzz is way too full of the punk rock spirit to be a rockstar. Way too down to earth and real.

i bet hes pretty fuckin tired of talking about kurt cobian
It seems like he’s always hated talking about him, anytime he’s mentioned he always has to bring up his addiction
like to hear his thoughts on pantera and dimebag

Nobody ever asks him about Chris Cornell
Yeah why is it noone wants to talk about Chris..?
Christina on Revolver did
Buz, is King! It's in the name and the claim to the true throne of musical perfection. All hail!!!

Did that girl blow Barney? What’s on her lips
So, an entire interview about Kurt Cobain. How original!
Well, it's official. The absolute worst "interview" ever attempted. Buzz was the only thing keeping this trainwreck from going up in flames.
Buzz is such a hard working no nonsense dude.
I hope so much that he keeps coming out with music, he's getting close to retirement age but I'm not ready for him to stop creating
I don't see him retiring any soon. He seems to be going strong with putting out albums and touring and such.
Yeah.
@Statchypoo Just saw his tour in Dallas and he's still badass
Buzz was very gracious not to point out that these two have no idea about The Melvins....or anything that they are talking about, honestly
Buzzo the eternal contrarian. No way he actually thinks the Lou Reed album is better than their 80s stuff. I swear sometimes he's like listening to an edgy teenager.

I kinda wish king Buzzo talked some sense into Kurt. Obliviousy he was going to do what he wanted.
I think all interviews should be filmed while one is sitting on the toilet. That woman's lopsided bra gives me extreme OCD.
I meet Buzz right after Cobains death in Lawrence Kansas. We ate at Denny's after the show.

Kurt Cobain produced The Melvins song The Bit
Stag came out in 1996, so no. Cobain produced some tracks from Houdini in 1993.
Not having health insurance is an issue for rock stars? lol
