Nice to see this great song getting some love. It's a bit more lyrical than a lot of SY and the music is outright old school industrial (as in EN, Throbbing Gistle school not NIN!) I've always loved it, and the line "She was significant, I'm insane" is some of Thurston's best writing.

One of the best on Bad Moon Rising, I love this song.

lets face it, the lyrics are ridiculous but theres certain lines that jump out at you, the houseboy hillbilly one in particular. Its a very unnerving song which i love.

Well, they're ridiculous in the way that a schizo's conversation style is ridiculous, but that's the whole point of the song!

I'm Insane is also one of the best tunes by Ratt ever (second-to-last song on Out of the Cellar.) But I bet I'm the only person here who cares about that.

I'm suprised nobody has mentioned how Thurston "wrote" the lyrics to the song, yet. All the phrases are from various pulp paperbacks strung together to create this great lyric.

i just got bad moon rising, so ill have a listen to it.

i think i only need like 3 more to complete sy

Just got BMR?? You've been on the board at least 3 years haven't you?

What 3 do you still need to get?

I remember once being baked iwth my friend in my car--he;'d borrowed the cd for near 6 months with no listen so i made him listen to it as we toked--- when i'm insane came on i got excited and heard, for the first time, the slinking monster machine guitar sounds walking back and forth behind the music. It's deep in the mix and gives it a certain unsettling feel til you find it. You can imagine a monster made of tin cans and loose wires sparking and boxing left and right dropping bolts and firing ones of lightning.

Well, Kim used to say Ratt was one of her favorite bands when that album was out. Though I could never tell if she was bullshitting or not. She was a big Red Kross fan for real, so maybe that's not too far away.

fucking classic. it used to scare the shit out of me when i was a little kid and my mom would play it.
