Green Jelly

Buffalo, NY
Heavy Metal, Punk, and Comedy

Currently the Jello is alive and well.

You see, I came up with this bizarre idea of creating a large underground music and art colony in Hollywood, California…the first thing I did after selling 2 1/2 million albums of the MTV and Billboard Music Award album Cereal Killer was of course count the money and roll around in it naked…when I was done I took a shower cause money is dirty and I bought a multi-million dollar television studio in Hollywood….

There I began to create my underground music and art colony…that quickly grew to many bizarre situations….doing videos for Tim Burton…Spike Jonez.. Kiss…. Weird Al…The Banana Splits…Tou Pac…. and Marilyn Manson…

Then we worked on songs with Hulk Hogan called “Leader of the Gang”… Mad Magazine called “Blind Date”… Marvel Comic Book heroes The Fantastic Four called “Clobberin Time” and even a song with our old band members Tool called “Higher Ground”….

Along with that we started doing movie soundtracks…we have songs in the following movies…”Flight of the Skajaquada” is in reality bites..”Aanarchy in Bedrock is in The Flintstone movie…”The Bear Song” is in Dumb and Dumber….we even did music for the porn star “Shane” for her video series “Shane’s World” and finally we did a cover of the song “Born to be Wild” for the Disney Kids film about a boy and his ape called “Born to be Wild”…

Then the strangest thing happened… we hooked up with legendary band manager Doc Mc Ghee (manager of Bon Jovi.. Skid Row.. The Scorpions…and Motley Crue…) and suddenly we were part of the giant Kiss reunion tour of 1997…I even got to direct the Kiss reunion video..wow…then Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of Kiss appeared in the remake of Electric Harly House of Love video…(see videos listed below)… huh???…a child hood dream now had come true……Kiss and Shitman hanging out bowling…. going to Ace Frehley’s birthday party with Roseanne Barr….ha…bizzare…before I knew it Gene Simmons was bringing me chocolate muffins on sunday mornings…

Then soon after we acquired a gigantic 74-room, 42,000-sq. ft underground artist compound right on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood named sunset/orange…(you can see a video short under the influence section..)…there the underground art colony jelled quickly…here we housed some of the greatest musical talent….DJs and graffiti artists that Hollywood had to offer…this is when I discovered the electronic music scene…this was an easy way of producing money doing underground rave events…..like lemming they came to hear people play record that seemed just to skip over and over again…

This then led me to open my own 20,000-sq. ft., 1500-person night rave club called Qtopia Hollywood….sex drugs and rave n roll was right…that soon got out of control as you could imagine…and then one day I woke up with a hangover and several naked girls and I said to myself…duh silly monkey don’t you remember that you put on silly puppet costumes and shitty albums for a living…

So I got out the old couch cushion puppets and I put them back on my head….it was a lot funnier than wrestling down drunk stupid people at my club….I think I got a little toooo caught up in creating a Hollywood underground music and art world and forgot about my own underground world of rock n roll puppets…..

So now that I remembered that I am and always will be a puppet …I am playing this broken wreckerd again….27 years and 202 band members later, Green Jello still sucks and I am very proud of that…so here I go again…when I think of all the rides I rode I think I like this train wreck of a ride the best….later..moronic dicktator

….and finally yes Danny Carey and Maynard James Keenan were both in Green Jello before Tool…while Adam Jones designed the toah creature on the front of the 333 cd…you can see Danny in the old school video listed below and you can hear him play drums on Cereal Killer…Maynard James Keenan makes appearance as Billybob in the Slave Boy video and sings “not by hair of my chinny chin chin” for the 3 Little Pigs….while Paul Demour makes an appearance in the Shitman video…also check out the behind the scenes video…Danny Adam and Maynard all make an appearance at the old Jello loft on Hollywood Blvd…in the good old days we all used to live there…the opiate cd and the first 2 tool videos were made there along with all the Green Jello videos….
