How Green Jellÿ Made Rock History: Bill Manspeaker on Cereal Killer, Tool & Marvel’s Carnage...

In this throwback episode, I’m joined by Bill Manspeaker of the outrageous Green Jellÿ⁠ for one of the most fascinating—and NSFW—interviews I’ve ever recorded.

We dive deep into the band’s wild history, including their Guinness World Record for the most band members (with over 900 members worldwide at the time of recording!), their chaotic appearance on The Gong Show, and the infamous moment Joey Ramone called them the worst band The Ramones ever played with.

Bill shares behind-the-scenes stories about producing the Cereal Killer VHS and soundtrack one video at a time, and how the band once held the record for the highest-debuting rock single in UK chart history.

We also explore the band’s ties to Tool, their legal battle over the name Green Jellö, and their collaboration with Marvel Comics on Carnage Rules.

Other unforgettable moments include recording “I’m the Leader of the Gang (I Am)” with Hulk Hogan, working with (or without) Metallica in regards to the breakdown in “Electric Harley House (Of Love),” working on music videos for 2Pac, Marilyn Manson, and “Weird Al” Yankovic, touring with KISS during their 1997 reunion, and performing at the Gathering of the Juggalos alongside Insane Clown Posse.
And don't be alarmed, of course we discuss the cultural phenomenon known as “Three Little Pigs.”
