“We were blown" Stone explains. "He was really the first that had it. We had a few other tapes of singers, but it was always people singing Mother Love Bone songs or trying to be like Andy. When we heard Eddie's tape, it was like, here's a guy who didn't really know anything about Mother Love Bone for the most part. He didn't have any preconceived notions about what it was. He just related to these non-vocal demos that we sent him." "It was a kind of a sick, disturbed rock opera -- if Nietzsche were to write a rock opera," Jeff says about Eddie's first three songs. "I mean, lyrically, I think he's amazing. I think he's really visual. I think just the fact that he's coming from a completely different place than Andy was coming from, that really appeals to us.” @Rip Magazine 12/91
