failing metallica enough
It wasn't enough for Megadeth to do well; I wanted Metallica to fail.
numbers soul devil
I went there anyway-knowingly, willingly-because I wanted a number one hit. I wanted what Metallica had, even if it meant selling a piece of my soul to the devil.
voice mercury way
I watched him, and I watched him die, and it was so painful for me, because I really loved Freddie Mercury, the way that he just truly went with his voice.
bridges guitar settling
Mogami cable is durable and flexible enough to practically build a suspension bridge with but I'll settle for using it for my guitars and amps!
military two make-sense
Military intelligence, two words combined that cant make sense
men care god-knows
I care more about what God knows than what man says.
firsts megadeth over-it
The very first schoolbook that was written had God all over it.
fun book pride
The Bible and several other self help or enlightenment books cite the Seven Deadly Sins. They are: pride, greed, lust, envy, wrath, sloth, and gluttony. That pretty much covers everything that we do, that is sinful... or fun for that matter.
guitar influence wave
The guitar influence that affected my songwriting came from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.
drinking way trouble
Let's put it this way: I did not get in trouble every time I drank, but every time I got in trouble, I'd been drinking
brother sheep blood
Brother will kill brother, spill blood across the land. Killing for religion, something I don't understand. Fools like me who cross the sea and come to foreign lands, ask the sheep for their beliefs; 'Do you kill on God's command?'
crazy insane ifs
If I know I'm going crazy, I must not be insane.
mean people important
To me, the most important thing was to treat people the way you want to be treated. Some people say that I'm a mean person. Well, you know what? The person that's saying that is probably a dipshit and I put them in their place! I have a knack for doing that.
new-york blood remember
When I left New York, after getting fired from Metallica, all I remember is that I wanted blood. Theirs.
