    In my opinion Buzz is in the perfect position as far a having a "career" in music. He gets to do it his way and he doesn't have to be a part any of the fake celebrity nonsense.

    The fact that they're using a printing press from the 1800s says volumes for older industrial craft. Those suckers were built to last.

    When I was a teenager, I somehow scored a ticket to see Tool before they really blew up (meaning their concerts were like 3,000 people instead of 50,000, they were still big). Anyway, having no idea at the time what Tool actually looked like because they never did photo shoots or live interviews back then and never having heard of The Melvins, the opening act, we got there just as a band was loading up equipment off the stage. Dangit! We missed the Melvins. Oh well, I thought. Now let's see Tool! So, after a while of sneaking hits of weed, the band comes out and introduces themselves "Hi, we're Tool and we just smoked a lot of pot!" I couldn't believe it, of all the appearances I had imagined Tool looking like, I never thought their lead singer had a huge Afro! 😂 Well, "Tool" proceeded to play an entire setlist of the most fkd up sounding music I'd ever heard and that's how I got introduced to the Melvins. 😂 I was sofa king confused.

    I’ve always had a tremendous amount of respect for Buzz. I love that Social Distortion cover, in fact, I still have a shirt with the cover of that album on it. I’ve heard him talk about Kurt…I always felt like it would have done Kurt a world of good to spend more time with Buzz. The lure of fame and all the chaos that comes with it is incredibly powerful, I imagine…particularly at the level Kurt was…I imagine it gets to a point where the lines of what is real and who is authentic and actually gives a shite about you become incredibly blurred. When I’ve heard Buzz talk about Kurt, I could tell he was unfortunately was probably one of the few that actually was capable of caring about his friend at the time. He wasn’t buying the whole “I have stomach pain therefore that justifies my use of heroin” bs that had come out in the media, which apparently Kurt had used at least at some point to justify using dope. Real friends, ones that actually care about you at the end of the day, will hold you accountable. To me, when I saw the interview where he talks about Kurt and his fame and drug use, I felt like it speaks volumes about his character. And this is coming from a recovering junkie. So…thanks for being one of the good ones Buzz!
