Rusty Cage & Outshined are classics. Let alone Superunknown. I like early SG also, songs like Gun & Full on Kev's Mom. Sure it's garage band sounding, but it was real. Like why I like Nirvana's Bleach so much.

One book I read about a year ago was 'Under and Alone'. It was badass!! It's about a ATF (Alchohol, Tobacco & Firearms) agent who goes undercover as a biker & gets initiated into a gang to bust them for drugs & gun sales. He makes real good friends with 1 or 2 of them, damn near has to kill people to prove his worth, and witnesses many fights & drug use. Some cool moments, like he was driving his undercover car after a party. Had a little bit to drink, but was afraid to get DUI because his alias. Also I think he kept a gun hidden in his car for safety. If the cop found it, he couldn't tell him he's undercover, because word could spread back in the police station about the incident, and the gang has informants in the police. The whole ploy would be ruined & he'd have to move elsewhere for fear of revenge from the gang, putting him & his family in jeopardy. Cool shit like that. It was a true story too, so I realized how nuts the guys was to pull it off. Always afriad of being followed back to his "real family" when he'd go home every now & then. It was like a 2 year job.

Thayil is great, ashame he never got in on a "Supergroup". Slash is great also, but I think he needs a good rhythym guitarist to create the song, then he's the best at leading it, in a way where he takes that tune and runs with it. Playing lead solo's, scales etc. Case in point look at Libertads first single, SBQM. The guitar riff, while Soundgardenesque, was kinda weak. Now Thayill and Slash in VR would have been badass. Maybe that's what they were missing.

Yeah, the giving birth is hard to imagine. Once maybe, but 7??! Also, I understand the walls were "soundproof" but are they really able to conceal all noise from a woman screaming while in labor?? It's not like the dad could tell the wife to plan to leave the house that day.

Strange that the kids never saw daylight. Imagine being 10 or whatever and NEVER being outside. Had to be hard on her to raise 7 active kids in such small confines. That alone would drive me crazy. Also, imagine how much the world has changed since 1984?? Being is Austria, the nearby Eastern European countries were communist, the world is so much smaller and more connected, cell phones, and most of all, the internet. Youtube and google are going to freak her out!
