Story goes that EVH was backstage and begged them to play the encore and when he was told no thanks he got mad and didn't know why he couldn't just play the spics guitar.

Georg Ruthenberg was born and raised in West Los Angeles, California, to a mother of African-American and Native American descent and a German Jewish immigrant father.

Ill listen to Degradation Trip later. What a monster of an album. I hope Jerry gets to play with Mike and Robert live someday.

Can you imagine Layne singing on Anger Rising? Degradation Trip is the type of sound I would have liked AiC to go in more, like self titled.

yeah he would have been amazing on that album.

I've thought every Alice in Chains album released since they got back together has sounded like Degradation Trip Vol. 3, 4 and 5.

That's not a bad thing either.

They really need to reissue that on vinyl

fuck yeah, exact same thought i had while listening. Im about to buy Rainer Fog on vinyl, and i would looove to have tripod on that format.

A local shop had it but they sold it before I could check it out. It wasn't an original pressing. I wonder if it was like a bootleg or something? Have there been any limited runs of it over the years? It probably would have been too expensive for me to feel like buying but someday when they repress for sure. Degradation Trip is on vinyl, even the longer version.

Both DT versions, the vol1 and 2 and the original are great pressing from Music On Vinyl. I dont think Tripod was had another official pressing at all. I dont even remember the original one.
