Megadeth: "Risk" - 25 Years On

  • Summary

  • "The title “Risk” apparently came about from a quote by Lars Ulrich, either in a magazine article or a TV interview, where he claimed that Mustaine and Megadeth had to take more risks with their music if they wanted to achieve the kind of success that Metallica had. Well thanks very much for that Lars, way to stuff up TWO bands for the price of one.

    With the disastrous direction (in my own opinion) Metallica had taken on their last two studio albums “Load” and “Reload”, the announcement of a new Megadeth album had been a welcome relief. It was a great feeling to know that I could expect more of the same from this band, that no matter how bad things were getting, there was no way Megadeth could record an album as uninteresting and boring as “Reload”. Wrong. Dave Mustaine was apparently quoted as saying “If anyone else’s name was on the cover of this album, it would have sold millions”. Also wrong"


    On this episode we are going to talk about “Risk” by Megadeth, the band’s 8th studio album released 25 years ago this week, on today’s episode where ‘I'm running in quicksand, something's haunting me’ on Music from a Lifetime.
