Hey Trevor. The Beastie Boys say they regret ever recording "Fight For Your Right To Party" and spent the next 10 years trying to distance themselves from that song and the jock meatheads who would scream for that song every night. Not all that different than what Bungle went through with "Girls of Porn". How long after you recorded that song before you regretted it? Looking at old setlists, it seems like the band playedit only a couple times in 92 and then never again
Also, bring back your Facebook. You used to have some great posts back in the day

MY ANSWER:

I have no regrets about that song although I would consider writing a sequel called “Boys of Erectile Dysfunction”. The truth is, we stopped playing that song for stylistic and aesthetic reasons not because we were trying to distance ourselves from our youth. In my eyes the first Bungle record is a time capsule of frustrated, angst-riddled, small town youth mentality and I have no regrets about where I came from and what I thought about in my young adulthood. By the time we hit the road in ‘92 we were already a bit fatigued by some of that music which is why, for example, we arranged songs like “Squeeze” to an extreme degree. We did that later with “My Ass is On Fire” as well. If we were trying to distance ourselves from anything it was the ‘funk metal’ scene of SF which we were unwillingly lumped into for lack of better marketing.

I won’t be bringing back FB. I find it pointless, time-consuming and socially disturbing.
