Scorpion Q+A 68

Question

Dear Scorpion,

What is the green crystal Vic is holding in the Rust in Peace album cover? What does it represent?

Alejandro C. From Florida USA

Answer

Hi Alejandro,

Rust In Peace is my second favorite album, next to The System Has Failed, of course. Band artwork is always fascinating to me, so I was happy to pass along your question.
Dave said, "It?s a McDonald?s cheeseburger from 1961. Not really, I think it is supposed to be like Kryptonite."

So I guess that means that Vic Rattlehead isn't Superman...
