SICK TUNES
STALK THIS WAY
Dave Mustaine chooses some of the standout songs on The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!
Five years ago, Dave Mustaine guested on the Body Count song, Civil War. Ice-T explains why he’s returned the favour on new Megadeth song, Night Stalkers
WHEN DID YOU FIRST MEET DAVE MUSTAINE?
THE SICK, THE DYING… AND THE DEAD!
“I was aware of Megadeth, and my attention was brought to Dave Mustaine because there was some magazine that asked his favourite five albums of the year, and he said: O.G., O.G., O.G., O.G., O.G. [Original Gangster, Ice-T’s 1991 album]. And that was odd, coming from the leader of a heavy metal act. So from that moment, I said, ‘I gotta meet this guy.’ And they created a meeting between me and him, and I met him at a record label someplace in Hollywood.”
“I love my band. The fans are having a great time. The tour was wonderful.”
“The CDC is just waiting to have another accident like the thing in China. Who knows if that was leaked, released or stolen? But one thing’s for sure, bat guano dropping onto pig meat and people eating it, that’s a pretty far-fetched story. But as farfetched as that is, my song isn’t about that. I wanted to write about the things I know are factual.”
