Deep Thoughts:
This is my fave record.  It was recorded leisurely, mixed and remixed, and it really sparkles.  Me and Charles and Rummy really had fun and raised a bit o hell in the process.  Theyre a fantastic rhythm section, and they basically have to hear a song for four seconds before they nail it.  I have a funny story:  I had seen the 80s English band Monochrome Set back in 1981 and I loved them.  The song Ein Symphonie Des Grauens is genius.  We covered it for this record, and when it was in the can sent a copy to Bid from Monochrome Set.  He called me from London very angry and upset.   It turns out that we had done such a spot on imitation of the tune that he was accusing us of keeping the original track on the recording.  Now, I have a low voice and Im a good mimic.  The song requires a very specific characterization of voice and I was really proud of my performance.  But I had to talk Bid down and then get Bennington to call him and assure him that that was me singing and me playing guitar.  I really dont think he believed us, but honestly its us!  The song The Slide will be remixed later to gorgeousness by Beaumont Hannant.
