Bull-fucking-shit!!. This album is a return to where we originally started. The object was not to sound like the first album, but more like our original demo tapes, which were even more raw sounding. It's more than just the sound though, it's the attitude and spirit. Come on! if "Dirty Balls" don't put a smile on your face then nothing will unless of course you actually have dirty balls (which a lot of us do) and that's a whole separate thing. Whew.. dirty balls have I! Yeah ... I'm a nasty fucker ... so what!! When we finished mixing Double Live Assassins the sound and the feel was a lot of fun. It was at that point that the direction for Helldorado was decided. No studio tricks, no big productions, no flavor of the month noises, just pure in-your-fuckin-face two guitar, bass and drums, 3 chord rock. Love it or hate it!! I've said many times the records we make reflect who we are at that very moment. So it should be fairly simple to understand what's going on in this camp about now. (see "Cocaine Cowboys", "High On The Flames", "Don't Cry"). Messages intended? Nope! Politically correct? Fuck no!! Saturday night knock-down, drag out, get fucked up til you can't stand up!!? You bet your ass!! Obviously we are in a real good mood. So join us, and when you play this record turn it up til it just won't go no more. Fuck it, blow up your speakers, this thing was meant to be played fucking LOUD. It's as subtle as a hammer to the head!!! The "Helldorado's" on the road! Do you wanna go? I say Hell Yeah!!! B.
