YOUR QUESTION

07/03/2020 Jeff Hi Trevor!
I know an age-old question is "what does it feel like to be on stage in front of an audience?" so I'd like to come through with something (perhaps) a little more original:
Whenever we're young and begin to learn instruments, naturally, we want to learn how to play our favorite songs. Have you ever looked up videos of other people playing (or attempting to play) any of your basslines? If so, how does it feel to have created something that a lot of people have heard, and proceeded to think "That's so fucking cool, -I- want to learn how to play it"?
Furthermore, has a particular performance of one of your basslines (or a song made by any band you've been a part of) ever blown you away?

MY ANSWER

I remember the first official Bungle tour in ‘92. Because of the unusual circumstances of already being somewhat known thanks to the fame of our singer we were greeted with an audience that new the lyrics and sang along. That blew me away. I can remember thinking, wow, I just wrote these lyrics in my bedroom a couple years ago! I always feel honored and validated when people claim me as an influence or arrange and/or play music I’ve written. It makes me feel that I’m part of an unbroken lineage. There are those that came before me and those that will come after.
I have seen some very impressive arrangements of Bungle songs made by high school bands.
