    I think Buzz is seriously my "guitar hero" of all time, or "musician hero". People are always going on about people like Eddie Van Halen, or Randy Rhoads, or the guys from Metallica and Megadeth, or Kurt Cobain, or the guys from Guns N' Roses, or . . . but no, Buzz is just humble and honest, and a genius when it comes to either guitar or songs. Other than admiring the playing, skill and personality of the late Dimebag Darrell, Buzz really is my favorite musician out there.

It pumps me up to know that there are so many melvins riffs out there waiting to be perfected on and later released. The Melvins are a band that will only keep getting better, which for most bands is an impossible feat

  • @dreadred92
    @dreadred92 10 лет назад +3

    I think the key to the Melvins' longevity is Buzz's inclination towards hoarding riffs and bits of unfinished songs. Most artists will think "Ok, we have 6 months to a year to write our next record" and they go into the studio and try really hard to write what they think is good or will be popular by the album's release. It just seems like a really archaic and ass backwards way of going about your business. Props to King Buzzo, he's a rock and roll lifer and he's been doing it right from day one.
