Thal described Abnormal as "..a continuation of a very personal tale. If Normal was the first chapter, then Abnormal is the second chapter of the same book. It's a tale of how my life has been 3 years after Normal, after touring with Guns N' Roses and [everything else]".[http://www.bumblefoot.com/press/200809-terazrock/200809-terazrock.htm Bumblefoot interview / "Abnormal" CD review, SEPT 2008] Bumblefoot.com, September 2008 The songs "Abnormal", "Glad to Be Here" and "Objectify" were performed by Thal as solo spots in Guns N' Roses concerts. "Objectify" was featured as Thal's solo in Appetite for Democracy 3D. Thal mentioned "Green" being one of his favorite songs he's ever written.[https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1tti1i/i_am_ron_bumblefoot_thal_solo_artist_producer_and/cebbhzp Bumblefoot AMA]
