Mr Scary came to be because as George said Don wasn't hitting the vocals so he reworked the guitar to make it an instrumental. Turned out to be a defining piece of George Lynch history.

I feel like it's a payback from George as he didn't get the chance to do an instrumental song in under lock n key album (which he almost did in the hunter song but George finds that it's more suitable to have vocals on it)
@gregorypeck16068 ай бұрын
No there weren't lyrics for it. George had been trying to get another instrumental for a couple of years. He wanted the hunter to be an instrumental at first Don said that one was to slow for it
@marlonmcdonaldproject6005 ай бұрын
@TommyG0709 it’s not that Don couldn’t hit the vocals, I don’t think that was the issue. According to Don, he said the track was too busy and there was a lot going on.. so he said to George ‘it might as well just be an instrumental.’
