It was interesting to hear them talk about "Push Me, Pull Me". Jeff had a full demo worked up that sounded like an upbeat Police song, and at first Eddie had a cool vocal melody over the verses that Jeff got excited about. Then everyone else got involved and "turned it into an art project" and Jeff was kind of bummed. He even walked out of the sessions over it. He says he grew to like it, though.

But, their commentary on 'No Way' was pretty comical - Jeff is basically afraid of playing it live because of the difficult bass timing in the song.

Listening to the commentary… is the No Way bass solo (and all of the tune, for that matter) Stone? Jeff claimed he wasn’t present.

IIRC Stone plays all the bass on No Way and DTE.

I dunno how to describe what I mean. Sonically all these albums are perfect for me. No code especially. It just sounds like you’re sitting there in The room with them.

But I’d love to get a super deluxe boxset of alternative takes and outtakes and unreleased songs

I read somewhere that most of the new remasters are also a way for these bands to maybe not pay anything to perhaps a different label. Not sure if its true tough.
