I know this is a little something most have heard but did anyone see about the new show ‘Bridalplasty’ I think everyone is really getting down on this subject and really should take some time into what the underlining issue is about, that people want to change their lives and just want to be loved.

“Rust in peace” is my favourite album of Megadeth. I love how Dave alternates with Marty during the solo sections, because they have very different styles. While Marty plays very controlled and melodic, Dave sets a counterpart with his more wild and rough playing. The guitar work is brilliant and the songs are convincing. One of my alltime classics.
