Megaforce Records

Jane's also, Well, I'll tell you, there's two bands, and I think Dave Navarro is like an obnoxious shithead, but his side project, Deconstruction, that dropped, I think, in 92, that's a fucking great, very proggy rock album.

And what band I was really into in high school was King's X, and they were actually on Megaforce Records.

I don't believe the harmonies.

King's X was a great band.

Yeah.

and uh what happened next uh you know changed history uh we have to talk about it um i was uh looking leafing through a fanzine uh and saw an ad for a company called Megaforce Records, Metallica, Raven, Anthrax.

Who else was on it then? I mean, the Rods, I think.

Yeah, who

A hand was their Eddie.

They were Megaforce Records.

The first album was on shrapnel records, so I don't know why, but they changed to the...

Shrapnel became known for speed guitar playing and Yngwie and all that stuff.

Oh, I mean, I could give you 50.

Fistful of metal.

Comes out on the very important Megaforce records at that time for heavy metal.

The legendary John Zazula.

Yes.

What did the wonderful

wiki tell you about this record, Matt? Oh, did you know that the initial release contained 12 tracks in 1999 and was a European-only release? And then it had to be an import from their home country of the U.S., but in 2004, it was reissued by Megaforce Records with three additional tracks? Because it was.

And the version of Stinkum Low found on the reissue is the demo version of the same track found on Pure Rock Fury, which is faster and heavier.

So...

I am your host, John, and this episode's guest is the legendary Frank Bello of equally legendary Anthrax.

They have a new album coming out September 18th via Megaforce Records here in the States and Nuclear Blast Records overseas.

I'm probably going to mispronounce this album title.

Please forgive me.
