Question
Hey Scorpion!
I was listening to FFF the other day, and I was wondering what was the
influence behind it. Was there a significant event going on at that time, or
did Mustaine have yet another stroke of genius when he wrote it?

P.S. I love reading all the Q&As that you've been doing, and I wish more
bands would add sections like this to their websites!
Answer
Hi there Cael!
You might notice that "FFF" and "Bullprick" are musically similar. "FFF" was initially called "Bullprick" and was a demo. The inspiration behind the song was a dream Dave had, but the lyrics were really emotionally too much for the general public. The version he ended up singing is even tame compared to the dream he had. We might never know the extent of this dream, but the lyrics of both songs are pretty intense. I hope that answers your question Cael - thanks for asking and the kind words!
