jman2000 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 West Arkeen plays guitar on this song. I'm pretty sure it was recorded during the AFD era. They did a bunch of songs during this era with a drum machine. They can be found on Rumbo Tapes bootleg and The Hell Revisited bootleg. The band was greatly inspired by Hanoi Rocks, so I wouldn't be surprised if the song was inspired by them. I honestly don't hear it, but each person to there own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellobeatle Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I remember hearing that song back in 92'-93' (along with Sentimental Movie) and people thinking it was going to be on the next album. Obviously this was before the internet, so the information/background/dates on the song was not easily accessible. Personally, I always thought the song was really bad - which is why it was likely left on the shelf. Sentimental Movie could have been a cool Duff song if it was fleshed out more. All personal opinion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jman2000 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I believe all were recorded at Rumbo Studios, and barely any from the time were even considered for a new album. Bad Obsession was one of the very few from that time that made it on the Illusions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalerney Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Nice song, heard it was planned to be on UYI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 The thing which unifies these songs (Crash Diet, Sentimental Movie) is they all have an electronic drum machine. Perhaps a clue there - drummer difficulties? Personally I have always been under the impression that they were demoed about 1989-90 in preperation for UYI. The bootleg Unwanted Illusions says they were recorded at Canoga Park. The Garden demo also uses an electronic drum machine so that is what leads me to believe this.

recklessroad Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I think it was done on West's 4 track at hell House in late 1986 but I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jman2000 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I don't believe Crash Diet was ever even considered for the Illusions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) You both might be right. They are a bit of a mystery, the unreleased songs.Unwanted Illusions by the way says (for Crash Diet, Bring It Back Home, Sentimental Movie and Just Another Sunday):R.S Studios, Canoga Park, LA Spring, 1990.But then it also credits Slash with the Sentimental Movie vocals!
