All I knew was they were starting to break out big. I had a little studio at my house in Malibu, and in probably ’93, Jerry and those guys came out and we sang, wrote music, partied, had a good time. I was talkin’ to Jerry, and we both addressed how now there was supposed to be this anger and hatred between us. I said, ‘We don’t hate each other, right?’ We both laughed, and he goes, ‘I grew up on Sabbath and Kiss.’ And I said, ‘Me, too.’ And he said, ‘I know we’re supposed to not like each other, but you’re a cool dude.’ We were laughing about the media portraying us as such enemies. If you like somebody, you like somebody.”—Poison singer Bret Michaels, from Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3zk5l8AAH1qctvzro1_500.jpg)

I love doing stuff for the Melvins. They’re some of my favorite prints to work on! They’re slaying on the current tour with UNSANE and I hope to see them again this fall on the Freak Puke tour.

What does it mean? I don’t know what it means. Freak puke! Freaky puking. It’s a freak that pukes. It’s a freakish puke. It’s puke that becomes freaky. It just sounds good together. FREAK. PUKE. They work great. I’m not sure where it came from? I write down stuff all the time that I hear, and like. It could’ve come from a wide variety of sources. Let’s say, let me make something up. Let’s say it came from a Bob Dylan poem I read. It’s not true, but we’ll say it is for today.

Do I hear from [the surviving members of Alice in Chains]? No. Do I care about what happens to them? Absolutely. I have invited them to come to the house many times. As Layne’s friends, I would just want them to tell me funny stories that they remember, so for 10 years that has never happened. I’d love it if somebody picked up the phone and said Nancy, ‘I’ve got to tell you something funny that happened when Layne was in Berlin.’ I would love if that would happen. They were his friends first, and I think the industry keeps them from pursuing some kind of connection with their friend’s mom, and they’re moving on.
