It was agreed that they would do a cover of [[W:Alice Cooper|Alice Cooper]]'s "[[School's Out]]" for the soundtrack of Wes Craven's movie ''[[Scream]]''. Deal told the interviewer "We knew they wanted someone to do that song for the movie, so I thought 'who else could I get to do this?' See, my idea was always to have a band with two heavy metal guys and two others. I wanted Jimmy (Flemion) and Sebastian was supposed to bring [[Tommy Lee]], but that didn't happen.

And I don't know if we'll tour, although Sebastian is already drawing up pyro plans for the shows, but I don't think it's odd at all. I think this is normal, it's the thing everybody should be doing."<ref name="ATN4" /> | The group convened in the fall of 1996 to record the self-titled [[The Last Hard Men (album)|''The Last Hard Men'']].
