Really nice tune. It was a favorite of a friend who I haven't seen in a 4 or 5 years (very possibly put himself out of touch because he was seriously ill and didn't want friends to know/ be hurt). I always think of him when I hear this song.

Was that Snakefinger song ever played on Dr Dimento?
Speaking of.... Fish Heads by Barnes and Barnes. FF to 2 min if you want the song. This was a great weird one. "They cant wear sweaters they're not good dancers they can't play drums.."

As much as I love Mike Patton, Chuck really nailed the definitive version of this song

Boy Meets Girl-Waiting For A Star To Fall. Always loved this song as a kid-but never knew its name so was always trying to find out when it came on the radio and was inevitably disappointed when the DJ neglected to let us know. Not exactly a testosterone fuelled rocker but the melody stuck with me and as I got older and had the chance to listen to it more deeply I can appreciate it as a really well crafted piece of pop. Guilty pleasures don't exist when you don't give a shit 😂

Here's a favorite from '84 from one of the great "next generation" of folk-rock protest singers, Billy Bragg:

A lot of Metal bands had the musicianship. Megadeth totally does. Mustaine was a perfectionist. Maiden has it, Metallica has it, Slayer has it. A bunch of bands do.brianlux said:tempo_n_groove said:I liked this song when I was younger, as I have grown older I now LOVE this song.

@brianlux in my opinion this is the best Megadeth song ever made. Give it a listen.
