  • Was great but…

    Loved listening to this podcast especially when you did the albums. You’ve got completely away from doing those and I miss them. Some of the topics now are much less interesting and how you guys deliver them also sounds like they bore you.

    You were much more engaged with the music. Some more of those please.

Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction | Why This Album Crushed the Charts!
Q: What was the first thing that grabbed you about the sound difference between the two albums, between Rust in Peace and this one?
There is not the changing up of rhythms, and Rust in Peace had quite a bit of thrash, compared to the more straightforward rock feel of Countdown to Extinction.
Arnold Schwarzenegger: From Predator to Pregnancy
Q: How does it work with a lady who has a C-section? I don't know.
I think a C-section is kind of more across the pubic area where the stomach meets the waist and not directly over the stomach.
