Tommy Paris, cantante della band in sostituzione di Dean Davidson, ha scritto circa 30 brani, dieci scelti e registrati per “Bite Down Hard” uscito nel 1991 e il resto ristampato dall’etichetta americana su queti 2 volumi dal titolo “Forbidden Fruits: The Bite Down Hard Demos Vol. 1 e vol. 2″.
Questo il commento di Tommy Paris:
These demos came from a group of countless songs written in the fall and winter of 1990. Most were discarded as fleeting bits of inspiration; unrefined and purposefully incomplete. After months of writing, recording demos and listening to a mountain of material, including songs written for us by L.A. and New York songwriters, we settled on the final 10 songs to be included on “Bite Down Hard.” Those chosen tunes began as raw demos created from scratch on an inexpensive Tascam 4-track and went on to be recorded in the full-blown facilities at Devonshire and One on One Studios in North Hollywood where Metallica recorded the “Black Album.”
Ogni album (Volume 1 e Volume 2) è composto da 10 tracce e con 2 cover differenti. Il volume 1 vede anche “Riff Raff” degli AC / DC e la loro versione per fumatori di “Little Sheila” degli Slade, mentre nel volume 2 invece troviamo “Sweet Hitchhiker” dei Creedence Clearwater Revival.
