This episode kicks off with a discussion about how accessories can interfere with playing, leading to stories about Kerry King making the nail armband and David making a bullet wristband and opting for more practical alternatives. With his recent passing, David reflects on working with Dave Jerden. The guys also dive into gear choices, past experiences, and life on the road. Unexpected reunions with family, and celebrating holidays in unconventional ways (think Thanksgiving at Denny’s). David and Joshua also reflect on the evolution of technology in the music industry, from early live webcasts to online networking. Finally, they discuss the business side of Megadeth, the impact of Rust in Peace, and the financial realities of being a musician.
