Widely regarded as the band's most popular album, it peaked at No. 4 on the ''Billboard'' 200 and boasted numerous successful singles. "Comedown" and "Glycerine" remain two of the band's biggest hits to date, each reaching No. 1 on the ''Billboard'' Modern Rock Tracks chart. "Comedown," "Machinehead," and "Glycerine" were the three songs from the album to enter the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, reaching No. 30, No. 43, and No. 28, respectively. To mark its 20th anniversary, on 14 October 2014 a remastered edition of the album's original recordings was released. ==Packaging== In the UK, a stone is a unit of weight that equals 14 pounds. Therefore, sixteen stone means 224 pounds or about 102 kilograms. When asked why lead singer Gavin Rossdale chose the name "Sixteen Stone" for the name of their album, he said: "Once upon a time there was a lonely man... my friend, who called a phone number advertising a '21-year old Scandinavian beauty, new in town.' When she arrived, she was forty years old and sixteen stone..." In the booklet of ''Sixteen Stone'', there is a heart and a dedication to "Rupert and Julie", two of Gavin's friends who died in a boating accident along the Thames in England. The cover insert has a picture of what looks like a bush or mop head flying through the air. This is actually Gavin's dog named Winston. A Puli, a breed of dog with dreadlock-like cords, that has been tossed in the air or is jumping. Beck used the same effect in 1996 with a Komondor, another Hungarian dog breed that has similar fur to the Puli, on his album ''Odelay'' which looks like a mop jumping a hurdle. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sixteen Stone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
