I would love to answer that question,
I'm going to do so in just a minute.
See this camera?
Yeah
Okay. Do not look into this camera.
No, no, no!
Action!
All right, we're ready.
Let's go.
Animal, you good?
Yeah good!
Yeah.
Well, The Muppet Show was the first TV gig.
Yeah.
Yeah, definitely one of the most important things we ever done.
Yeah, And it feels, you know, it just feels incredible
to say that we got to play alongside some of the greatest acts of all time.
Yeah, Blondie.
- Yeah, Blondie.
Elton John! Alice Cooper!
Yes.
Buddy Rich! Buddy Rich!
That's right. Yeah. Naming all of them.
And The Muppet Show catapulted us right into show business. And --
Yeah cap-ah-ta-pulted.
Catapulted us.
Catapulted.
Cata-puta-pulted.
Yeah, and what was I saying? Catapulted us.
And we definitely wouldn't have been able to make the Muppets mayhem
without the experience on The Muppet Show. That's for sure.
To answer your question
about the key to our success,
I'm going to say that audiences dig us because we am, is, are and be
The Electric Mayhem!
YEAH!
Ain’t no other band out there who even comes close
to matching our style, our sound or our volume.
Ain’t that right?
LOUD!
Yeah,
Well that's probably got to be Dcotor Teeth,
You know, our keyboardist, our lead singer, our namesake of our band,
you know, changed my life when he asked me to join him on the road to Rock.
Once we started rolling, I have never looked back.
Who helped you on your journey, Animal?

No, it's all right, but just hang on here just a minute.
Before you go falling out again.
FALL OUT!
You know, we've had some moments where we don't necessarily get along.
Or you know, we disagree about something.
I mean, what band doesn't?
What group of friends doesn't? You know what I'm saying?
But the important thing is we always find a way
to get back together, to stay in perfect harmony.
Ah, harmony!
That’s right!
Yeah.
So, you know, no, we never done no falling out.
FALL OUT!

That did it. Yeah. Yeah. But
when did you first
realize that music was going to be a big part of your life?
Yeah, I mean, from the moment I was born,
my mom used to sing me a lullaby every night to help me sleep.
And even as a baby bassist, music sued.
Metal. Metal.
Yeah, right on. Animals.
First drumsticks were baby rattles.
So. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.
And the. My goodness, no.
And you are a good influence.
That's a beauty of the electric mayhem.
We continuously make each other better.
