A working title for 'Trash' was 'Low Class Reunion'.
There are three version of the 'Poison' video, which feature the female character in various states of undress. The girl in the video is Rana Kennedy.
A compilation video was released comprising three promotional videos from this album with linking footage. The transitional pieces were shot in Birmingham, England on the day of the filming of "Trashes The World" video. The video included 'Poison',
'House of Fire', and
'Bed of Nails' and was about 20 minutes long. The forth video for 'Only My Heart Talkin'' was not included but shot at the same time.
Now that I'm thinking about it, I think the beginning of 'Bed of Nails' was some passage out of some dumb book that Desmond Child had.
(Renfield, August 1995)
'It Rained all Night' was written by Alice and Desmond Child. It was demoed during the 'Trash' and the recorded proper for during the 'Hey Stoopid' sessions. In the end it wound up as the B-side to 'Hey Stoopid' although it was included as a bonus track in Japan.
Alice thought Annie Lennox would have been great on it.
(Renfield, September 1996)The main riff of 'Poison' originally turned up in a John Waite song called 'Encircled' which was also co-written by John McCurry. John took the idea to Childs and a new song was written around it.

Alice wanted Steve Vai to play guitar on the tour but he wasn't available due to previous commitments (with Whitesnake). Steve recommended Al Pitrelli.

'Muscle of Love' had been dropped by the time they reached Detroit to be replaced by 'Only My Heart Talking'. 'Department Of Youth' was performed in Australia. 'He's Back' was played in Sweden. 'The Awakening' was played during the 'Nightmare' sequence in Brussels, 21st November but was dropped after that one night. 'Is It My Body' was played at the first few shows as well.
