Really? I think Buick Makane is one of the weakest. I always thought Human Being was overlooked, and Look At Your Game Girl was kind of a lost/hidden gem.

Its not a strong track in and of itself, but I like Slash's delivery and the band kills on this record. That jam towards the end of Human Being is some heavy shit.

I would hold that album in a higher regard had it just been a bonus disc with the Illusion discs, or released immediately afterwards. The Axl tracks could have been B sides to UYI singles, and the Duff tracks be placed on Believe In Me.

The album was irrelevant, pure and simple.

Cornell was a chain smoker for almost twenty years, including his peak. If smoking kills your voice, I don't even want to imagine what he would have sounded like had he never smoked.

I think it depends on the person. Just like how one can smoke 5 packs a day and live to be 100, while there are extreme cases of people in their early 20s dying from lung cancer after only smoking a few years.

Yeah, that Tokyo vid sucks in many more ways than one. They were on more than just tobacco if they had the nerve to release that.

I'm happy with the setup. I'm sad Transformers is gone, but it went against something I truly liked more.

To give you an idea of the extent of my Transformers love, I imported the original (read: only GOOD) Transformers movie on Blu-Ray from Europe because it's not released in the US.
