Genius Answer

I don’t know how I’d describe this! That’s another of the segues that was from the mind of Clown. And, actually, some of these arrangements had working titles, which then changed, and we’ve been working on them for so long that, unless I hear it, I don’t really know which is which. You get used to something being called a certain name for two years, and then it changes and you’re like, “What song is that now?.”

Jim Root, Kerrang!
