The album's title track evolved from the introductory song "Metal Dog" on guitarist Paul Gilbert's 1995 instructional video Terrifying Guitar Trip; it later appeared in the 2009 video game Brütal Legend, "B.R.O." stands for "Bach Rip-Off", a homage to a previous track, "Y.R.O." (Yngwie Rip-Off"), from the band's 1986 debut album Street Lethal.
