Don't forget but Dime was almost in Megadeth also. Dime wanted his brother to join him but Dave said they already had a drummer so that ended that pretty fast.

I bet if Slash could of predicted that Axel "asshole" Rose would eventually force the band members to surrender the rights of GNR solely to him In retrospect joining Megadeth would of been the right call professionally and personally. It would of been totally wild and no offense to Marty who to date imo was the best lead guitarist megadeth ever employed however Slash's immediate influence and street cred at the time would of greatly increased Megadeth in commercial success/exposer and would of been two middle fingers to Axel and his single digit IQ plan to destroy their band.

Megadeth is a company now, so by legal means Dave Ellefson had to be let go. So if Dave was part of the company he should get his fare share? Amiright? Idonno lol.

When Tyranny opened for them at the Music Machine, we were so stoked, Bill metoyer was at Track Records in the 80s it would have been so cool if bill would have produced them? There sound would have been AWESOME!!! A classic Full in Bloom interview!! Thanks "T"

I saw Megadeth on Halloween night in Miami at an outdoor amphitheater back in the day ! Suicidal tendencies opened and Kiss was playing down the road ! Such a great concert and a great time to be alive for it !

Slash would only have lasted a week before Dave would have fucked it up somehow with his shitty personality.

Considering Rust was made on drugs and Countdown was made off drugs I'd say the drugs helped, alot.

I love the info, love the video. But I kind of feel like I am being shouted at by an army drill instructor, very forced and it kinda put me on edge around a minute in, like I had to stand up of my chair, straight and to attention! 🫡
I don't know you're using an effect on your vocal to make it sound like a news bulletin or maybe your mic isn't great or perhaps you're too close to it? I am not criticising, just giving feedback, because I loved the content.

Greatest Megadeth album ever.
This publicity is just to sell copies of the new album but to me what ive heard its just a mess, but I went to the Rust In Peace Tour in Aust and was one of the greatest shows id been too, but Dave has to realise and still hasnt moved on from being punted from Metallica that he was too drug fucked and looks like hes wearing white make uo now, I know he wasnt well but i think Megadeth should hang up the instruments. He is a great musician he made his millions but says hes over being punted but he has never dealt with it. But hay i wouldn't mind hos bank account but drugs and not being well have fucked his vocals after Rust In Peace they had set their standard but with a band changing every week. He must be harder than Axl to work with and I really think Slash was just joking to join Megadeth their relation was heroin and coke

Slash would of never worked in Daves band. I find that Butter never holds up to the frying conditions.

I have the book . yea they wanted Slash in the band . I don't think Megadeth would've sounded; thrash they would've ended up sounding like GNR on speed lol

Slash, in a haze of coke and heroin, weighing the odds and actually considering it lol
