    King Buzzo never fails to surprise and delight me. The Melvins are one of the greatest bands and they're still grinding. Buzz is absolutely correct about playing guitar; you gotta get hooked first. He's also dead on about Jimi; nothing he did would ever be taught the way he played, but that's what happens when you break all the rules and start outside the box. Wisdom from Buzz!

    I can relate to the guitar teacher thing. Many years ago, the first teacher I had said 'you will never be able to play guitar properly because you can't hold your riff hand correctly. Your thumb is in the wrong spot on the neck." I quit lessons and learned on my own with Guitar magazines afterwards.

    If you ever liked Nirvana and/or Kurt Cobain, please understand that chances are actually really, really good that it never would have happened if it weren't for Buzz Osbourne. Impossible to say, but he was there for Kurt at a time when he was beginning to not only fall in love with punk rock but also take the whole music thing seriously. And Buzz was as much a teacher as he was a mentor and friend during that time.

    Buzz is a criminally underrated guitar player, and 90% of Gluey Porch Treatments & Ozma is the same technical equivalent to early thrash. Buzz, Cantrell, Tad Doyle, Steve Turner, Mike McCready & Kim Thayil were the handful of fucking heavily underrated guitar masters that came out of Seattle & grunge. Even McCready only gets love for his tone & Yellow Ledbetter but there's WAAAY more to his style than just that

      He's one of the most influential guitarists that most people haven't heard of. His style of drop d riffing has had an impact on a lot of musicians, including but not limited to Nirvana.

      He looks like Bob Sideshow. That's a complement.
