07.02.23 | So Far, So Good… So Megadeth by Martin Popoff. 2014 and updated 2017. Bad title haha. The writing is not the best but the story comes across. I’m up to them touring killing is my business with another guitarist cos Chris Poland got busted for heroin. Listening to that debut solid the last week it rules. Songs like Rattlehead and t/t go hard.
What was your book like? |

07.02.23 | can't solely credit Dave for inventing thrash, James and Lars wrote Hit the Lights before Mustaine joined. Hammett with Exodus also wrote thrashy stuff in the early 80s, check their 82 Demo. those songs written I think 81 or possibly even earlier.
it really was a scene of bands that were mostly all friends playing similar music |

07.02.23 | wrote 'em all! |

07.02.23 | You could be right, the origins are a bit sketchy but Dave seemed central to it. It came from motorhead worship and probably venom too. Anthrax on the east coast too were coming up with their version of metal thrashing mad. I’m fascinated in how subgenres started |

08.25.23 | don't forget hellhammer dropping satanic rites in 83 |

08.25.23 | Damn that’s early for something extreme. Actually never heard it but will. Ive always read Lars brought over his interest in European metal over with him to LA and Brian Slagel swapped tapes too |

02.04.26 | I can happily distinguish Mechanix from the 4 Horseman and is such a Megadeth song |
