“Do you know how much street cred I’ll have?”

From being tasered to having fish hooks pierce their skin, there are few things the Jackass crew won’t attempt, which is why one of Bam Margera’s recent stunt ideas getting shot down means it must have been pretty intense.

Margera was speaking to theMusic.com.au about his band, FuckFace Unstoppable, and their May tour, when he gave an update into the next Jackass film, and an idea that was shutdown by his co-stars.

“It’s not set in stone, but we’ve been talking about it, and always writing ideas. Shit, I have enough ideas to have a full movie as it is, so if all of us pile it up, we’ll probably have enough to start filming,” Margera said.

“You just gotta make sure it’s better than the one before; the whole point is to keep making it gnarlier and gnarlier.”

“I was like, ‘Mike Tyson bit off by Evander Holyfield’s ear in a boxing match, so why don’t we have a Evander Holyfield redemption and he can bite off my fucking ear?’ And they were like, ‘Are you really willing to get your earlobe bit off for good?’, and I was like, ‘Yeah! Do you know how much street cred I’ll have?’ Like, ‘Dude, what happened to your ear?’, ‘Oh, Evander Holyfield bit it off.’”

Margera formed punk band FuckFace Unstoppable with members of Guttermouth and CKY as a creative outlet after skating and Jackass injuries pilled up and left him in bad shape.

“I wound up getting these bumps at the bottom of my feet – six of them – called bone spurs, and I had major bunions – I had to get surgery on both of those,” Margera said.

“Then I ruptured a hernia going off a hundred foot waterfall in kayak. I was all fucked up and not looking forward to having ten surgeries, so I was in a bit of a slump for a bit.”

Bam Margera’s FuckFace Unstoppable are touring Australia this May. For all dates and ticketing information, see theGuide or The Music App.
