Biography
Osborne first started listening to
the music of Aerosmith and Ted
Nugent around the age of 12,
then became greatly interested in
punk rock in a few years' time.
[2] In the early 1980s Osborne
founded the Melvins with Matt
Lukin and Mike Dillard who all
attended Montesano High School
(Wheeler Building) in Montesano,
Washington, where he graduated
in 1983. In the beginning the
Melvins played The Who and Jimi
Hendrix covers but began playing
fast hardcore punk after Osborne
was introduced to bands such as
Black Flag , Flipper, and Millions
of Dead Cops by a friend from
out of state. When Dillard left
the band in 1984, Dale Crover
was recruited out of an Iron
Maiden-cover band, and the
band's rehearsals moved to a
back room of Crover's parents
house in Aberdeen, Washington .
They began to play slower and
"heavier" songs.
In 1986 the band released their
Six Songs EP on C/Z Records
(later re-released as Eight Songs,
10 Songs and as 26 Songs in
2003 on Ipecac Recordings ) that
was recorded live to a two track
at Ironwood , February 8, 1986.
In December 1986 they recorded
their first full album, Gluey
Porch Treatments, at Studio D in
Sausalito, California, which was
released in 1987 on Alchemy
Records (and later re-released as
a bonus on the CD version of
their second album Ozma on
Boner Records and in 1999 on
Ipecac Recordings with some
garage demos).
In 1988 Osborne, with Crover,
relocated to San Francisco,
California where the band
recorded their next album,
Ozma, in May 1989. It was
released later that year.
Osborne, along with the rest of
the Melvins, knew the members
of Nirvana . When Dave Grohl's
first band, Scream, disbanded,
he approached Osborne for
advice. Osborne, in response,
introduced Grohl to Kurt Cobain
and Krist Novoselic . The
influence of the Melvins can be
clearly felt on Nirvana's music,
especially their early, Bleach -era
work.
In 1997 Osborne appeared in the
promo video for The Offspring 's
video "All I Want," as a masked
pianist, he also served as the
producer of The Offspring album,
Americana.[ dubious ] Osborne
also appears in the 1994 video
for the Beck song "Beercan "
which samples the Melvins' song
"Hogleg."
Buzz joined Tool onstage during
their tour for Ænema. The
Melvins also opened for Tool on
the tour. In 1998, Osborne
joined a new band known as
Fantômas with Faith No More
vocalist Mike Patton , a band
which he remains involved with
to the present day.
