These songs were written for what-would-have-been Ron Thal's 2nd album. The album's musical direction was rejected by the record label, citing it as "too negative". Ron started from scratch and wrote in a different musical direction, for what would eventually be his 2nd released CD, "Hermit" (Jan. 1997)
The songs "Sweetmeat", "Gray" and "Unsound" on the "Hermit" CD were from this earlier collection of music.
Track 5-10:
After releasing the "Hands" CD in early 1998, Bumblefoot began working on the next CD, that would have had these songs on it. When the drummer left the group, it was decided to start fresh rather than release an album featuring a key member that was no longer in the group.
"Mine", "heart attack" and "Girl Like You" were added from this collection to the French release of the "Uncool" CD in 2000.
The song "Guitars Suck" was meant to be on this CD as well, but later appeared on the guitar-oriented "9.11" CD.
Track 11-15:
"Crunch" and "Maricona" also appeared on the French release of "Uncool", but were cut from the final release of the CD.
The songs "She Knows" and "Myth" weren't completed in time to be on any of the "Uncool" releases.
Track 16-17:
These songs were part of the first batch of songs written for the "9.11" CD, along with "Fly In the Batter", "Lost" and "Raygun".
Track 18:
This song appeared on a UK guitar comp CD in 2002 but was never released on a Bumblefoot CD.
