 Interview: Melvins   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Buzz Osborne decided to start wearing his hard rock influences on his sleeve, and the Melvins soon injected strains of heavy metal into their music - thus beginning their second career as a band that played loud, hard and slow.
Buzz Osborne, however, is the true center of the Melvins' bizarre charisma.
With his "finger-in-a-light-socket" fl afro and sullen, bratty demeanor, Buzz attacks his songs in a whirlwind of energy - serenely headbanging to each thick, distorted chord progression that he bangs out on his guitar.

 DOA - Fantômas - Suspended Animation
A Fantômas song may only run a minute or two and often quite less, but it contains all the unbridled energy (and sometimes a good chunk of the notes) of what bands half their stature can muster in songs three times as long.
Patton is somehow constantly one-upping himself in the vocal department, making his past performances seem increasingly quaint and straight-laced, though it’s questionable how much further he can go into the dark fringes of groundbreaking delivery and voice-recording before he becomes a Dada caricature of himself.
Osborne’s guitar rage is more pristine and affecting and focused than ever.

Bungle front man Mike Patton and Melvins head honcho Buzz (King Buzzo) Osborne, with another former Bungle, Trevor Dunn, on bass and veteran Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo locking in the quartet.
In place were still Dunn and Lombardo’s sometimes explosive energy bursts and Osborne’s standard style of never going in the expected direction, but all in all, “The Director’s Cut” was about songs.
