George Lynch:

It was an attempt to re-visit the instrumental thing that I did with “Mr. Scary.” It was somewhat of an afterthought, as “Mr. Scary” was. Coincidentally, as we speak, I’m in the studio working on a song called “Son of Scary” that’ll come out on Guitar Hero 5. To be quite honest with you, that song closes the record because I couldn’t find a way to tuck that song into the record’s sequence without interrupting the sequence of the record. Like naming a band, sequencing is relatively simple, but it’s very difficult when you’re writing. That song was either going to be at the end, or I could’ve made it a hidden track. “Under the Dead Tree” was originally a vocal song, and it was very cool as a vocal song. London’s vocals were very dark and disturbing. They had the effect of making you feel strange and uncomfortable. I don’t know if that’s a good thing, but it did affect London and me. It definitely wasn’t a party song.
