Music video:
-Moto Psycho

All songs written by Dave Mustaine except "Promises", which was written by Dave Mustaine and Al Pitrelli.

"Return to Hangar" is the continuation of the song "Hangar 18" from the album Rust in Peace (1990). The solo is taken from the live version of the Metallica song "Phantom Lord" that appears on the "Metal Up Your Ass" bootleg and was composed and played by Mustaine.

"When" is mostly based on riffs and vocal lines of "Am I Evil?" from Diamond Head, a song that Metallica covered really early in their career. The acoustic intro is taken from the Metallica song "The Call of Ktulu" which was made by Mustaine.
