Dream Theater
- Metropolis, Part I: The Miracle And The Sleeper
|
The "Part 1" in the title was originally included as a joke, and "Part 2" was never actually planned, but after its release there were numerous calls for a sequel to be written, so during the recording sessions for Falling Into Infinity the band began writing and demoing the second part. They ended up with a 20-minute song, but since their record label would not allow them to release a double album it had to be cut to save space, and the song never went very far past the demo stage.
When the time came to write music for their next album, the first composition they began working on was a 20-minute sequel. The decision was made to extend the single song into an entire concept album based on the themes of part one, which would eventually be released as Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory.

The Goo Goo Dolls
- Acoustic #3
|
|
According to Johnny Rzeznik, "Acoustic #3" is intentionally short (running less than two full minutes) in order to prevent it from being released as a single. He wanted the song to be appreciated for what it was, not because it was constantly played on the radio. Incidentally, it is the most popular non-single song on this album, according to iTunes download information.

Megadeth
- These Boots
|
|
"These Boots" is a cover (with lyrics that parody the original) of the Nancy Sinatra song "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'". Lee Hazlewood, the original author, deemed Mustaine's changes to be "vile and offensive" and demanded that he removed the song. The cover of the song was removed from all pressings of the album released after 1995. The 2002 release partially includes the song, with all of the lyrics that were changed from Hazlewood's version censored with a beep. In the deluxe edition liner notes, Mustaine is strongly critical of Hazlewood, as he had been paid royalties for 10 years before he objected.

Slayer
- Born Of Fire
|
|
"Born of Fire" was for a long time just an instrumental leftover song from South of Heaven with a working title "Stress" due to the fact that Kerry King could not write any good lyrics for it during the South of Heaven sessions. Eventually it was the last song completed for Seasons in the Abyss.

Slayer
- Jihad

|

|
|
Slayer
- Temptation
|
|
The somewhat strange vocal arrangement on the track "Temptation" was unintentionally done that way. If you listen to the track, you actually hear Tom Araya singing the song twice: once the way he thought it fit and for the second time on the insistence of Kerry King the way he thought it should be sung. The haunting end result came to be because the first vocal track was not erased between the takes. When the producer played the track and heard both vocal renditions simultaneously on the instrumental background, he liked it so much that both vocals were used on the album. Nobody is sure which vocals are the original ones.

- Chic 'N' Stew
|
|
The title of the song refers to Chick Hearn and Stu Lantz, the Los Angeles Lakers broadcasters, but it also is a pun on "Chicken Stew", keeping with the food topics of the song. The first verse "This ballgame's in the refrigerator" refers to what Hearn said when the Los Angeles Lakers were in control during the game. The song itself is believed to be about advertising creating an artificial need for a product, using pizza as an example.
