Zombie lost it rather for me when he did his "any women in here?  Yeah?
Well, pretend we're the Backstreet Boys" bit.  The idea was to get the women
to scream a lot, but without really thinking about it, I just took him at
face value and shouted "fuck off".  Don't suppose that'll be on his live
album.  Still, I enjoyed the songs off of _Astro Creep 2000_, I can never
remember which is which but they might have included "The Agony (Electric
Head pt.1)" and/or "Supercharger Heaven".

Wyndorf was excellent value though - good presence, and some great raps
featuring much use of the oedipal compound noun.  And he might cultivate
this stoner image, but the boy obviously works out!
