So Far, So Pod… So What! Megadeth Podcast

After more than 20 years out of 'deth, ultra guitarist Marty Friedman rejoined the band on stage at Budokan, Tokyo 2023.
In this special, somewhat patched together, episode of the transatlantic state of the art speed metal podcast Greg, Jon & Punt Road attempt breaking down how it all went.

Enjoy!

Is bad omen literally channeling a bad omen considering the incoming cover feature of the album?
Does "I Ain't Supersticous" ruin the show?
And, if so, can My "Last Words" then save it?
Stick around & find out!

Podcast law.
Who knew it was as corruptible as any other law?
Certainly not us.
As such, on the advice of counsel, we begrudgingly release this episode of So Far, So Pod…So What!”

Did black magic really ruin the life of one Dave Mustaine?*

The year: 1986
The place: Planet Earth
The jeans: Really fucking tight
The sneakers: Really fucking big
The riffs: Really fucking fast

Come with us,
as we flip up our brims, patch our vests,
dive like swimmeers and run like Nascars.
To a time when the metal underground poked its head up
and opened a sinkhole for society to fall in.

This.
Is.
Thrash.

After slicing thru the latest album with out razor sharp blades of sanguinary analysis,
it does make all kinds of sense to re-visit the 1990s and figure out, once and for all:
What is cool... ...INSOMNIA... ...or....SLEEP??

The two meatballs are back on the ice.
Concluding September and concluding our massive run of analysis on the new Megadeth:
"The Sick, The Dying...And The Dead!"

Main features this round are "Célebutante" "Mission To Mars" and "Police Truck",
but we also indulge a bit in Planet's On Fire as well as mixed rear view bits,
all topped off with our holistic summary and JUDGEMENT on this fresh release.

Back with yet another format!

In this series we steal a trick from podcasting friends of ours (And the Podcast Will Rock / Pod of Thunder) and spin a Wheel of (miss?)fortune to determine which Risk song to tackle.

Behold the TERROR that is RYSK ROULETTE!

This is the first installment in our TWO MEATBALLS series. The concept is diving into our recent rotation, music we've been listening to lately. This is, for the most part, off-topic but of course we connect the conversation to Megadeth a time or two.

[email protected]

We go into "nice story" mode for a wee bit.
This one is mostly off topic. 

But, that said, can't see how any of our listeners would want to miss out on this.

Just when you think it's safe...
SNEAK ATTACK!

HEY GUYS: at 33 minutes there is a bit of silence, should be a clip of the beginning of DMs guitar solo. Don't know what went wrong, but I know it's my fault and further, I acknowledge my lack of will in solving the issue. It's like 30 sec. Figure that out yourselves, I am SURE you can.

We advance in from the opposite front and go as recent as one can, in the current Deth discography.

Full track analysis plus a healthy serving of derailed thinking - our boxcar lifestyle.

When you least expect your fate, I'll load it up (We'll be back)

Or, actually you may go ahead and expect our return, strengthened in numbers.

Time everlasting.
Time to play b-sides.

Still within our sanguinary sect of musical analysis, let's make haste onto the B-side of the first Megadeth LP release, Killing is My Business...and Business is Good!
