MARK ARM DISCUSSES NEW MUDHONEY ALBUM & PLAYING GUITAR

By: 30 January 2013 9 Comments

In a recent interview with CBS Seattle, Mudhoney frontman Mark Arm discussed his band’s upcoming new album, “I play guitar on four songs out of the ten. I really like being able to hop around and not play guitar…but I also like playing guitar. Initially Steve [Turner] kinda insisted that I play guitar when I was in a band with him before Green River; We both played guitar in that band [Mr. Epp and The Calculations], and I think he wanted to tether me down a little bit. Still though, in the early days of Mudhoney, we’d go flailing into the crowd with our guitars, but after a while you stop doing that ’cause it hurts.”

    I remember in July 2006 they played a show here with the Melvins but it was the same night I was seeing Pearl Jam for the first time.

    thats a true conflict right there! cant go wrong either way. Mudhoney live performances have to be filled with so much energy! it would be a blast to see them, especially in a small venue.

    They played Newcastle just over 2 years ago in a pretty small venue, it was absolutely amazing. Suffice to say, with them playing Newcastle again this June, I’m gonna witness the amazing once again!

    I saw them around 2006 also- that was a good show. Mark almost goes into a trance on stage. You can’t tell if he’s staring at you or looking past you.

    Saw these guys in Boston in 2008 and they rocked. Looking forward to hearing the new album.

    Mudhoney is still incredibly tight live, because they need to earn a living! They put my perennial favourites Pearl Jam to shame last time I saw them play together even though Pearl Jam have a way better catalogue. I am totally stoked to grab Vanishing Point. Their last three discs and EGBDF/Self Titled are their best in my opinion.
