      It had to drive the song because the guitars just hold out chords. It's a weird thing for guitars to take a back seat in a Megadeth song, but this a song is a fucking banger.

    Gar Samuelson is in my opinion the most underrated metal drummer of all time. He was the first guy to incorporate heavy jazz influences into thrash, and he was a fundamentally better drummer than any of the other "big 4" thrash bands. Very odd that most people have no idea who he is.

      It was all over for Megadeth once Max Norman came along. He really polished the band way too much. As early as 1992 he convinced them to use digital pitch correction (yes, it existed that long ago, it's just that it was expensive and therefore less common than it would become with the advent of pro tools).
