You can go on YouTube and find a high school talent show metal band playing all of Holy Wars, The Punishment Due by Megadeth.
Daniel MatéGUEST
Note for note, every single Marty Friedman solo.
Daniel MatéGUEST
You can see a high school percussion band, marimbas, xylophones, vibraphones, doing a note for note cover with a conductor there at the front of Mr. Bungle's Mamishka Mouskaus from Disco Volante, you know? You are so right, yes.
Daniel MatéGUEST
Which is incredible to see.

It debuted the band's classic lineup that featured guitarist Marty Friedman and drummer Nick Mensah.

Hit number 23 on the Billboard Albums chart, number 8 in the UK, and it had the singles, I should say, Holy Wars, The Punishment, Do, and Hanger 18.

In 1991, three of the most popular, most successful albums of the 90s and most influential albums ever since came out on the exact same day.

That was, of course, Megadeth, in keeping with the letter M this week, Symphony of Destruction from 1992's Countdown to Extinction album, featuring the classic Megadeth line-up.
Matt RogersHOST
Of course, Dave Mustaine, Marty Friedman on the guitar, Dave Ellison on the bass, and the late Nick Menza on the drums.

Paul MyersHOST
I want to sort of talk about the Marty Friedman-ness of all of this.
Paul MyersHOST
He's on the track Simurgh.
Paul MyersHOST
And, you know, here you are, you know, you start your career loving Megadeth and then you become pals with him.
Paul MyersHOST
And I guess what I'm really getting at here, sorry to go on, but the idea that people affect each other from around the world and people come back in your life and people show up for a reason.
Paul MyersHOST
I guess I'm really moved by that.
Paul MyersHOST
And is that why the Marty Friedman track is the last track on the album?
Gabriela QuinteroGUEST
Well, honestly, I think just in terms of Marty Freeman, that I love what you said about people connect with people and you help each other to bring yourselves home.

It's very, like, imagine Alan Holdsworth mixed with Marty Friedman.
Matt HeafyGUEST
That's just fucking mind-blowing.
Matt HeafyGUEST
But this stuff was so ahead of its time.
RexHOST
You know, and I was kind of thinking about this, and I'm like...
RexHOST
It's funny that they played so much 90s Megadeth, like Marty Friedman, Nick Menza era.
DuffHOST
Well, I mean, again, though, and we were just talking about this, but as an opener, why the hell they put She-Wolf on the list is beyond me, because that's the butt of all my jokes for them.
DuffHOST
