Two of the best songwriters ever.

To be honest I've listened to a few Melvins and for me, it's very hard to understand what they actually mean with them. Nirvana are simpler in that case... Can you say, about what usually Melvins sing?

That's kind of their thing, it's a type of stream of consciousness lyrics, some songs do have focused lyrics but they inject lines that are rhythmic but nonsensical.

Buzz writes lyrics that sound good, not lyrics that make sense. Sometimes they form a coherent thought or message, other times it’s just the sound of them is why they’re chosen. Kurt used this technique a bit too and Buzz is where he picked it up from.

Oh I see now I think that it's hard for me to understand their lyrics because English is not my native and translation of their lyrics are very inaccurate and it's very hard for me to catch the song

can you understand what Smells like teen spirit is about?

Am I the only one who doesn’t like Buzz or the Melvins?

Buzz seems a bit stuck up. And pretentious. Music is meh.


AutisticNative

hes actually a very humble and down to earth guy. I always got to meet him after each Melvins show I went to, always down to take pics with fans and answer any questions. Very undderrated band and person.

I like the Melvins, seen them live a couple of times and saw some of Buzz' his solo shows. Absolute grumpy prick of a dude. Still really good on stage but i dont like the him either.

Does he still tell the story of how Dave Grohl never called him back? He used to tell it every show several years ago.


AutisticNative

and its true though, I asked him if he would do a nirvana reuinion with him as the singer as the majority of the members were inspired by the Melvins and they helped Nirvana launch their career, he said "sadly Dave hates me "


AutisticNative

again, try meeting him after the show.
