We play some music and dive into the origins and concept behind cockroach! , Monica shares crazy stories of their singer Mike and his antics on stage like shaving his eye brows as well as Mike losing his glasses in the pit while Green Day was playing and being called up on stage to sing a song with Billy Joe . Serg from System of a Down liking the name Pentagrams and Daises and hence they kept the name .
