I like the new version of Oh My God, except the funky wah wah part.

But all these demos still sound too noisey. I'm not sure if that's maybe just the low quality of them, but they don't sound great.

Silkworms is a trainwreck. The quiet interlude bit sounded better at Rio 2001 than it does in the studio - and it's the best part of the song. Have yet to hear the HoB 01 proshot version though as I can't find that anywhere. Maybe it is better but it seems shocking that Silkworms sounded better live than in the studio.

a walker and msl connection is interesting.

msl must have been his source for the info revealed in the appetite for distortion podcast.
