One of my first records that I heard was 'Wish You Were Here' by Pink Floyd.

The guitar influence that affected my songwriting came from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.

Besides, the bass isn't a difficult instrument to play. It's like one step up from the kazoo, isn't it?

Some years later, long after he and Megadeth parted company, Jay Jones was stabbed to death with a butter knife during-rumor has it-a fight over a bolonga sandwich. That's not funny, of course. But, if you knew Jay, neither is it particularly suprising.

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.

I collect books and I have some really, really old schoolbooks, and God is mentioned on every single page.

If you guys are going to be throwing beer bottles at us, at least make sure they're full.
