The musician commented:

“I think this is a project that he’s [Morello] working on with a bunch of different musicians. I don’t really know what the future holds for it, but I really loved doing it.

“He said, ‘Put whatever you want on it – the more the merrier.’ He was going to give it to Kirk Hammett and Kirk was going to do the same thing.

“Being the contrarian, I did all of [these other styles], not just heavy rock. We were all talking to each other while we were doing it, and we just had such a riot.

“I sent my stuff in and it went to Kirk then, and he sent his stuff in.”
