Editing 5 Questions for Buzz Osborne

With two new members (Big Business' Coady Willis and Jared Warren) and
therefore double the drums, the Melvins sound rejuvenated on the new album
"(A) Senile Animal." And after more than 20 years of making sludgy hard
rock, they're still hot -- tickets for Wednesday's 8 p.m. show at the
Milestone are sold out. Unpredictable Melvins frontman/founder/joker Buzz
Osborne tries to explain why, and attempts to prove his claim that he's
completely insane.

Your show sold out weeks ahead of time. The Melvins could obviously play a
much bigger venue. Did the club's historic reputation have anything to do
with the booking? I don't know anything about it. That's the only place we
could get a show. We heard it was the place all the cool kids go.

You played here with the Fantomas -- your side project with Mike Patton of
Faith No More fame -- but why has it been so long since the Melvins last
came through? Our problem is that we don't really like North Carolina. The
whole tobacco thing -- we're against it. Nah, North Carolina's great.
Tobacco is good as far I'm concerned. If God created anything better than
tobacco, he kept it for himself.

"(A) Senile Animal" is more accessible than some of your previous material,
with concise songs and crisp production. Were you trying to move away from
experimentalism? I don't think about it like that. It's more experimental
than the new Madonna album. That's safe to say.

Along with Black Sabbath, the Melvins are regarded as one of the most
influential bands in stoner rock. And your impact on Nirvana and the Seattle
grunge sound is well documented. Do you hear your influence in bands today?
I wish I had Black Sabbath's money. But I'm not the one married to Sharon
Osbourne. He signed a deal with the devil. You get three foul-mouthed brats
and married to a succubus wife. Look what's surrounding him.

Are you married? Yes. Been married 13 years. Lucky 13. I think our marriage
has lasted 12 years longer than most of them do.
