In this Tunestiles throwback episode, I am joined by Green Jellÿ’s Bill Manspeaker in one of the more fascinating interviews I’ve done in all of my years of podcasting.

In this all-encompassing (and NSFW) interview, we discuss: the band’s Guinness World Record for the most band members (which at the time of recording was over 900 members worldwide!); the band’s appearance on the Gong Show; Joey Ramone calling them the worst band The Ramones ever played a show with; producing the entire “Cereal Killer” VHS and Soundtrack one-video-at-a-time; at one time having the highest rock debut single in the entire history of the British charts; the connections between the band and Tool; the Green Jello / Green Jellÿ lawsuit; working with Marvel Comics on “Carnage Rules;” recording “I'm the Leader of the Gang (I Am)” with Hulk Hogan; issues with Metallica over their song “Electric Harley House (Of Love);” working on music videos for 2-Pac, Marilyn Manson & Weird Al Yankovic; being involved in KISS’ 1997 reunion tour; playing the Gathering of the Juggalos festival along side of the Insane Clown Posse; and, of course, the cultural phenomenon known as “Three Little Pigs.”
