You would be like that if you ever met him and talked to him like a human being though, which is how he'd want it to be. He's a little weird too, but that's not something I think is a negative personality trait.
I've never met Buzz or any of the Melvins besides Jarrad. I'm not sure I'd want to, because the people I've known who know him sometimes don't say the most positive stuff. I'd hate to ruin my own fan to star infatuation in his case.
But you can't compare what Buzz is about to what Calvin is about - Buzz tries in every way to be larger than life. Calvin certainly has massive stage presence, but he's still portraying more of an everyman having a good time, while Buzz is coming on convincingly like some sort of Norse diety.
The Melvins had long since moved to California during my Oly days, so I never met them. Though I was once in Rainy Day Records and heard Dale's mom in there talking with the sales clerk. She seemed very supportive of him and his successfulness, though she made a point of saying she would never say the title to "Alive at the Fucker Club" out loud.
