Scorpion Q+A 134

Question

Hello

I've been listening to the CTE album a lot recently, but it always seems to me that the song Psychotron and Ashes In Your Mouth do not belong to the collection of songs on that album. The song length, style, dynamics and rhythms are very different to the rest of the album. These two tracks sound like they belong more to the Rust In Peace collection of songs.

Were these 2 songs originally written for the RIP album perhaps?

Thanks

Answer

Hey Ian from Ireland,

When you have a catalog like Megadeth, the collection of bits and pieces, riffs, and lyrics are never-ending. Even for Super Collider, Dave said they had the idea to cover "Cold Sweat" years ago. The songs "Psychotron" and "Ashes In Your Mouth" were written long after the Rust In Peace era, but even Dave told me that it's still possible that to some degree they could have started during those times.
