Such a crazy time for metal music. I loved Megadeth so much throughout the 90s. They're still in my top 5, but my musical tastes have really broadened, and I listen to so much music, due to the fact that my influences, bands like Megadeth and Metallica weren't afraid to experiment and change their style to fit the song back then. It was literally a risk to do that. They lost fans, but they gained new ones. I was always there. Although I was disappointed at first, I grew to absolutely love Risk. Not quite a metal album, as it is more of a hard rock/experimental album with metal elements. The vocals are fantastic! Anyway. Great interview. Thanks!
