				like Kurtz at the end - in some dark room
				waiting for the end.  Some people just
				really exhaust all their synapses -they
				take things to the end, happiness, 
				sadness, everything, and then the end of
				the line.  Everything influences you,
				leaves an imprint -good times, bad times
				- damages influences me.  Being alive is
				my biggest influence - not being a
				corpse."

Comments:

This is an unusual compilation style disc from Europe. The collection of artists here is pretty interesting (Butthole Surfers, Sylvia Juncosa, Naked Prey, Shock Therapy, Savage Republic, Drowning Pool, Shiva Burlesque, Colorblind James Experience, Eugene Chadbourne, Red Temple Spirits, Ritual Tension, Rollins Band [billed simply as Henry Rollins], and Camper Van Chadbourne).

Choosing GUN IN MOUTH BLUES as a track to include on a compilation disc is pretty bold in my opinion: GUN IN MOUTH BLUES is heavyweight stuff! The version featured here is the same as the one found on DO IT.
