Here's a 20 questions he did....
20 Questions with Buzzo
And here's the new MUZINE Call & Response with Buzzo....
We sent Melvins guitarist / vocalist Buzz Osborne a CD of six songs, each identified only by title. Here's what he had to say about the selections
Message from Buzz: Ok. I 've been asked to express my opinions on some songs and, although I am full aware of the fact that opinions are like assholes and everyone's got one, some fools seem to be interested in mine. So here goes.
The Artist: Electric Wizard
The Song: "We, the Undead"
The Album: Let Us Pray
The Skinny: Dope and Sabbath loving doomers
This is raw...and that's a GOOD thing. It's sludgy guitars and Cookie Monster-esque vocals warm the cockles of my cold little heart. The song's a little long for my tatse but I still have to give it an A+
The Artist: Moby
The Song:"We Are All Made of Stars"
The Album: 18
The Skinny: Hey now, he's a pop star
This starts out kinda of cool, slightly reminicent of Here Comes the Warm Jets era Eno or Magazine. I could almost listen to it if it weren't for the mercilessy repeating chorus. I HATE hearing the same trite lyric over and over and over and over just because the singer doesn't know when to shut the fuck up.
The Artist: Weezer
The Song: "Dope Nose"
The Album: Maladroit
The Skinny: Emo is dead. Long live emo
I hate this kind of light rawk crap. It's wat too happy, too sappy, way too crappy for me. What a hideous guitar sound. It's less interesting than the storyline of the worst porno ever made. It's worse than food poisoning.
The Artist: High on Fire
The Song: "Hung, Drawn, and Quartered"
The Album: Surronded by Theives
The Skinny: Low end, bowel quaking indie metal
This rules. It sounds like Motorhead. It's ferocious, it's relentless, it's raw, it rocks. It's good; it's not NEW or anything, but it's good.
The Artist: Ashanti
The Song: "Foolish"
The Album: Ashanti
The Skinny: En fuego R&B sensation
Putrid generic R&B vomit... or is this called soul? Whatever it is , it's just like a million other R&B shit songs. Syrupy soulless "singing", if youy can call it that and the same irritating riff over and over, ad nauseam
The Artist: Wu-Tang Clan
The Song: "Redman"
The Album: Various/Loud Records, the Early Daze
The Skinny: Hip-hop troopers
I have nothing nice to say about this... at all. I can't listen to it. A bunch of name-dropping gangstas. Spare me.
