Twisted Trilogy

By Chris Gramlich


quoting Buzz:

"The third album (The Crybaby ), is again a bit of a departure for us. We are having a lot of guests on it, and that is what is going to make it possible for us to pull off this trilogy. It is going to be great, it is going to be really weird, it'll be straight-forward in some aspects and strange in others and I'm really looking forward to it. Some of the guests we're having are Jim Thirwell (Foetus), Beck, Hank Williams III, Tool, David Yow (Jesus Lizard), Kevin Sharpe (from the now defunct Brutal Truth), Mike Patton and, of course, Leif Garrett. We're doing a cover of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' with Leif singing, and that'll be great. The whole idea is Leif is going to carry this baby and it doesn't matter what it sounds like. It'll be a perfect capper for the '90s - the guys who got Nirvana started doing their song with a teen idol from the '70s. In a lot of ways, he and Kurt are a lot alike. I'll leave the rest up to the imagination."
