The Nice sessions were the last time I was in the studio to make new music. I was really happy with how that album came out. We tried some different things and achieved some great sonic high points. The studio where we made the record, Cherokee, located on Fairfax Blvd. in Los Angeles, is gone now. It was completely torn down and has been replaced by a condominium. Time marches on! I hope you like the record. - Henry

Taking advantage of the relatively new medium of CD, I stuck on a bunch of live stuff from the tour along with the studio tracks and put it out as a CD EP for really cheap. I figured it would do the band a good turn by letting people hear how we sounded live, which was what we were really all about. Thanks for listening. -- Henry Rollins

So here’s what I did: included all the b-sides and outtakes and rearranged the song order to accommodate all the extra tracks. You will notice Stray and Disappearing Act have the same music but different vocals/lyrics. This is something I had always wanted to do. It’s two different aspects of a relationship written in the same meter. I don’t know if the concept holds water but it was an idea that I had been wanting to do since 1992. Perhaps when you hear all the music, it will give you a clearer idea of where the band was at. I think there’s some good music here. These guys were serious players! Critic types hated the record and beat us up pretty good, especially me. Such puny fists. It was a great time and a great line-up of people. 1993-1997. Chris, Theo, Sim and Melvin are some of the finest people I’ve ever met. I have been wanting to put this CD set out for some time. I hope you dig it. -- Henry Rollins

They get it done and move onto the next thing. My kind of people. I had some song ideas but no band to work on them with so I asked them if they would help and they generously offered their services. We got together and wrote some songs the first night. A few days later, we had more songs. Eventually, over two sessions we ended up with a lot of songs. In 1999 we went out and played a bunch of shows all over the world and had a blast. In 2000 we released some of these songs as the Get Some Go Again album. This is all the songs we recorded in this period plus two live tracks from a show in Los Angeles at the Troubadour that were on a promo CD. Having Brother Wayne Kramer and Thin Lizzy’s Scott Gorham guest on our record was huge and we thank them. Jim, Marcus, Jason and I worked hard, played hard and had a good time rockin’ out. It was so great to work with people who had such enthusiasm and a will to get it on and not just get on with it. There’s a big difference. Thanks. –- Henry Rollins

On the road we wrote songs and put them into the set. By late October we finished the shows in London, UK. We went up to Leeds where Chris had a place to live and booked studio time at the same place that he and I did the Hot Animal Machine recordings a year before. I had no producer for this record and feared that since everyone in the band had strong opinions on how it all should be done that if we tried to do it ourselves we would do more harm than good. I called Ian MacKaye and asked for help. He got on a plane and came right out. That's Ian. We got straight to work as we had little time or money. All twelve songs were cut and mixed in a few days. We would do a take and Ian would tell us that it was good and we were moving on. When someone would say that they wanted to do it over again, he listened patiently and then asked again which song we wanted to do next. We got it all done and dragged it back to America for about 3,200 dollars. -- Henry
