Scorpion Q+A 265

Question

Hi, that's a cool name. I'm wondering if they write songs wherever or only in the studio and if there's a certain time that feels more creative where songs just come to them? Like a full moon or late at night? Thanks. Ann. Minnesota misses them :-(

Hello Ann,

Some of the Megadeth's song ideas come at sound check during shows, some backstage, some of them hit on their own when they are away from the band setting, too. You never know when inspiration will hit so the guys try to record all ideas and keep them. This could be either with a tape recorder, filming it on video, etc. The important thing for them is to keep all ideas because you never know when they may be just right for a particular album or song. "New World Order", "Black Swan" and "Millenium of the Blind" would all be examples of songs that were once written but found their home on the latest 'TH1RT3EN' album, some many years after they were written.
