Megadeth doesn't sound anything like Metallica.

I didn't like the way I was let go from Metallica.

When you've got somebody who's a flaming liberal like Bill Maher calling you out, something's wrong.

Megadeth is a legend, and I'm not gonna cheapen it like some of these bands that keep going long after they should.

Playing live is basically just hyperactivity and a certain sense of enchantment that I deliver to the audience, to let them know what it would be like to be inside my head.

Well, the stuff that I liked growing up was AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, but I also liked the Beatles and guys like Cat Stevens and Elton John.
