That's what Metal Archives is for. I was 16 when Individual Thought Patterns came out, and it was pre-internet for me, so all I got was a few people making vague allusions in magazine interviews that they knew who Chuck was talking about and that they really didn't think it was right to put it in a song lyric. So I'm assuming it was someone who was in the band at some point, and I'd think a number of these guys you'd have heard of too.

It's kind of funny now that I think about it, everyone talks about Chuck like he was a saint now, but back in the early 90s, his reputation was basically that he was a whiny bitch and impossible to work with. I guess he just mellowed out a lot later.
The lyrics from "Living Monstrosity" show how much of a judgmental asshole he was. Song rules, but it's about sentencing the mothers of "crack babies" to death.

He'd be a hated if he lived to the prevalence of social media.
He'd probably be a Q-MAGA.

That would fucking suck. I'm glad he's dead for that reason alone.

Yeah, but what if, you know? If Socrates was alive today, would he cancel you on Twitter? These are the only questions that really matter.
