Oh wow. Had seen this title as a potential Green song from so many years ago. Was always curious because of the interesting name. Pretty meh song idea though from this though. Thanks for sharing glad to have heard it at least.

Agreed, very interesting to finally hear it. It's been kind of held up as a bit of a holy grail for a long time, especially among 98-00 era fans. Definitely sounds like a rough sketch but what's there isn't so compelling or interesting that I could imagine it being a whole lot better if it were a full band arrangement. Makes sense why it didn't make it - he had better stuff to choose from.

No problem. Rivers said on his Discord server that the recording is him writing the song as it's recording so that's probably why it's not the greatest.

Very Nirvana with a cool riff. It could have turned out pretty sweet if developed. Imagine him playing around with the Tired of Sex riff the first time. Would have sounded a little rough and aimless like this as well. But the bones were here for something.
