"By this time we were touring our collective asses off and lovin'it. We did shows with Primus, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Murphy's Law, Bad Brains, 24-7, Scatterbrain, etc. The video for "hippies..." was by far our best video but was never aired. The cover photo shoot was done with a 10ft x 10ft piece of 1 inch plate glass. We all know Plexiglass would scratch) This sheet of glass was over 500 pounds and a pain in the ass to move, so after the shoot we smashed it with the back of a hammer and it collapsed into an easily sweepable pile of nuggets. $1200 of plate glass nuggets. This was our last record for Torrid and Roadrunner Records. We also found a manager. finally."

"We made these recordings during our '93 tours of Europe. This CD was our answer to the bad bootlegs that have been circulating. We included all the fun cool things that we like about our shows. There are also some studio cover songs we never released before. "Darling Nikki" - by Prince and "Nothing Can Come Between Us" - by Sade.
Just remember it's not meant to be an audiophile recording - it's a band playing, drinking and having fun in the clubs of Europe."

Hippies Hate Water

You Stink But I Love You

I recorded this song with some friends a while back. We had a day off on tour and jumped in a recording studio for a one day quickie. The one day band was called Waste Management. (Chris Milnes, Kevin Powers and Josh Silver)

New Jersey comedic hardcore metallists Mucky Pup paved the way for such future juvenile acts as the Bloodhound Gang (look no further than some of their song titles -- "You Stink But I Love You", "Death by Cholesterol", "Hippies Hate Water," "She Quieffed," etc.). The group originally formed in the mid-'80s, comprised of members Dan Nastasi (guitar), John Milnes (drums), Chris Milnes (vocals), and Scott LePage (bass), which led to numerous local shows and two demos that sold well. This led to a deal with the independent Torrid label, as the group issued albums on a steady basis for nearly ten years: 1987's Can't You Take a Joke?, 1989's A Boy in a Man's World, 1991's Now, 1992's Act of Faith, 1993's Lemonade, 1995's in-concert Alive and Well, and 1996's Five Guys in a Really Hot Garage. Although Mucky Pup never broke out of the metal/hardcore underground in the U.S., they achieved much greater success overseas in Europe. The group split up by the late '90s, as founder Nastasi (who had left the group a few years prior) achieved moderate success with a similarly styled outfit, Dog Eat Dog. In February of 2000, Mucky Pup reunited for a one-off show in New Jersey. 2008 marks the 20th Anniversary for the band and will be celebrated with a mini-tour featuring the all star lineup found on the NOW record, Chris Milnes, Dan Nastasi, Marc DeBacker, John Milnes and Kevin Powers.
