[5] For their second album, Scream added another guitarist to their line-up, Robert Lee "Harley" Davidson, to thicken up the sound in the studio and in their live performances.

For selected compilation efforts and some live shows Scream added DC keyboard player Bobby Madden during this period.

The Stahl/Stahl/Thompson/Grohl lineup of Scream performed at The Dragonfly, in Los Angeles, in August 1994, for a one-off "mini reunion" with Zack de la Rocha of Rage Against The Machine sitting in on the song "Human Behavior".

[6][7] The Stahl/Stahl/Davidson/Thompson/Stax lineup of Scream then reformed to play a one-off reunion show at the Black Cat nightclub in Washington, D.C., on December 28, 1996, with Grohl joining the band on drums for the song "No More Censorship".

During this time, Pete Stahl worked as a road manager for both the Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age while continuing to record albums with several bands, including the Earthlings?
