Get Off My Foot

Get Off My Foot

(Hewitt-Morgan-Sookman)

The time is 1991: Nirvana's "Nevermind" is still several months off, so we still have hair metal and it's ilk to contend with. As young men in the city of angels, the question that naturally occurs to us is: if we cannot profit from this, can we parody it? Or better yet, somehow do both?
The answer comes to us in the form of a cheap CD Mr. Sookman is playing in the car: a magnum opus from a collective by the name of Rhinobucket. Why, how like the mighty AC/DC, we marvel! How uncanny! How artistically intuitive of them! How easy to imitate!
And so we set out to write a big ol' rawck song and hightailed it into Dr. Dave's studio. This became a live staple for us at BOTH our '91 LA shows, so enjoy us as we are rocking you out now, ja! And, no, I don't know what the chorus has to do with the rest of the song. That's the Majesty of Rock, the Mystery of Roll...

Al: Vox, Keybass
Sook: Vox, percussion
Scott: Guitars
Dave: Drums & Bass

Well, this is not an Osmium song, as John Wall had zero involvement in this track, though he certainly does like it. It's probably his favorite Pop Machine track.

It's confusing, I know. Hard to keep two bands that don't really exist straight.

BTW, I saw somewhere recently that Rhinobucket was still banging it out and had recently released a new CD. That's pretty amazing.

I believe VH is now talking to....David Lee Roth to be their new vocalist. And Eddie's son Wolfgang will be playing bass. No foolin'. I love the music industry....

They better not try using the name "Brain Dross", tho.
