I remember people thinking Oklahoma was Riad many moons ago. Wasn't Ides of March  first mentioned in 05 as well as Atlas Shrugged, Zodiac,etc.? That Spat article gave us quite a bit of info. I still say quick song is CD. Description fit it to a tee. Well, what CD sounded like back then anyways.

I just wish he'd hurry it up. I think time is running out on this thing.

Oh it was destined for CD. Every mythical track made it to the album. It was a few years later when song titles like The General, Atlas Shrugged,etc. reached that status.

Would have to check whispers but I would say most of the 'mythical' tracks were kept off CD. Of the Big Guns people used to refer to I'd say TWAT, Prostitute and possibly Catcher were the only ones to make it. The General, Seven, Thyme, Oklahoma, Atlas, Leave Me Alone all remain unheard.

In an alternate universe we may have got those all on one album but I think the leaks had a big say on what made the cut.

The original line-up is supposed to play Download in June with their metal chums, Metallica, if Lars can be bothered to turn up." (Ross Halfin, 02/04/06)

I gotta start listening to radio shows and podcasts. On Metal Sludge I read where Adler was on Trunk earlier and was bitching about Gilby, Sorum, and he even said Duff didn't like him. He's fucking crazy. Even if a reunion isn't close, its closer than its ever been and in this situation he needs to keep his mouth shut. Any time he opens his mouth, the chances decrease on his involvement. Someone listening also said he sounded high.
