Droogies!
Yesterday I chatted with Jeff Balding for a while about what his schedule was like over the next year or so, so that I could begin getting the new song (s) out of my head.
You will be pleased to know that we had a great conversation and I told him my plans for the next year to two years and it was great to hear everything that we talked about made sense. Of course there will be no more recording in Phoenix, especially at John Harris' studio now that he made it a bar (what a pathetic joke). Shame for Ralph Patlan, because he is an awesome engineer and young budding producer.
Anyway, Jeff is checking on a song that I had leftover from the "TSHF" session to see how far we got before we ran out of time, and I know that the guitars were not finished, but I was asking about the bass primarily. If the bass wasn't done, then we would give it a swing at having James and Glen play on it for some new music.
I am still unsure about whether to put Megadeth into retirement because the tour for this record has gone so well; I was once 100% sure, now I am not. I do know that if there is another Megadeth record ever, that the direction of "TSHF" was invigorating, recharging the old batteries, and was the most fun I have had in years.
Thanks to the boys for making it fun again, thanks to the Droogs old and new for keeping the fire burning, and thanks to Vic for keeping me real.
Its quaint to be heavy, isn't it
