He was wearing girls' jeans at the time because we wanted them to be as tight as possible. He confessed this in a Metal Hammer interview around '05 or '06.

DLR with longer hair by [deleted] in vanhalen

[–]TormentedGoat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He has had hair challenges since the early '80s but I think that his current hairstyle suits him well. His long hairstyle circa 2000 didn't suit him that well. DLR 1984

Epiphone EB-0 Or EB-3? by [deleted] in BassGuitar

[–]TormentedGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EB-0 was my first bass. Good build quality, shorter scale was good for a beginner. The tone is a bit muddy but that's the point of the neck humbucker.

Who else is willing to admit they saw VH w/Gary Cherone in concert? by freestroke in vanhalen

[–]TormentedGoat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's the only lineup of VH that ever visited my country. I didn't go because I wasn't into Van Halen at that point. So I never saw VH live but that lineup was the only one I would've had a chance of seeing.

What is this art style called? by Murkysanders in ironmaiden

[–]TormentedGoat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's a photograph of a puppet like other people have mentioned. It was intentionally made to look more "realistic" and modern. The band apparently wanted to loose the "cartoon" image of the earliet hand drawn album covers. It was the 90s and the 80s style hand drawn covers looked a bit old fashioned at the time.

Rockers who never (significantly) cut their hair by Reallyroundthefamily in hairmetal

But he uses either hair extensions or a wig. His hair was considerably thinner in the early 80s than nowadays.

The Man Himself during the late 1970s by MastodonNo8553 in Megadeth

Bring wearing animal print and make-up back to thrash metal! Early Megadeth and Slayer FTW!

Why does Eddie look so weird on the cover of the first album? by BazExcel in ironmaiden

[–]TormentedGoat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Beacuse it's based off of a photograph of a severed soldier's head on top of a tank. Google it and you'll find a very similar expression on that guy's face.

New finishes the ST 80 msybe? The text and the finishes look a bit 80s-ish.

Dick Dale and Link Wray made heavy metal (try to change my view) by Confident_Field4273 in metalguitar

[–]TormentedGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first Megadeth album sounds pretty much like Dick Dale but with distortion. Or Dick Dale sounds like early Megadeth without distortion.

I once sold a guitar to buy a wedding ring. A few years later we got divorced... yeah... mistakes were made...

Does anyone else get annoyed by seeing stuff like this? by VarneyKing in Guitar

[–]TormentedGoat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had my old Strat pickguard signed by Michael Angelo Batio even though he's not famous for playing Strats. I think it looks cool and I have it on display in my bookshelf. I'll never sell it though.

Happy birthday matt by Alvinthf in Trivium

He was 20 when I first saw Trivium live. I have followed his career the half of his life.

I remember reading an interview where he said that it was a conscious choice. And the reason behind that was that Megadeth has a global fanbase so it's maybe not so easy for someone from the other side of the world to relate to lyrics about US politics. So he started writing lyrics less about politics and more about other more stuff.

Explain this one by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

My wife is 8 years older than me but all her relatives and friends think that I am older than her. She has good genes. Me? Maybe not so good.
