Re: Anyone here, never own a Beatles album?

I have the "Butchering The Beatles" covers album and a live album by a tribute band called Rubber Band, which featured Flemming Rønsdorf from Artillery.

Zero actual Beatles.

And while we're at it, even less Rolling Stones.

It's amazing that Bob Rock created one of the best-sounding albums ever with MC '94, then turned around and went in the opposite direction with Subhuman Race just a year later.

I can kinda see the title being inspired by surgery, but the lyrics (to me) sound more like a Jack The Ripper story.
