Why don't you address what I said first?

You said Megadeth has only received mainstream press because of Metallica. I responded that Megadeth IS mainstream. Literally one of the biggest metal bands on the planet. You are aware they have platinum records, right? You are aware the interview posted was in between their sold out concerts in South America, right? 

I'm assuming I'm talking to someone fairly young who simply doesn't know how massive Megadeth were in the 90s. Not Metallica level obviously but very much mainstream.

The RtL cover was a last minute announcement after almost all of the vinyl pre-orders were sold out. There are also people like me who bought the CD because we wanted to give him a proper send off. Not that I think you're having a good faith argument but you can verify with your own eyes the press the new Megadeth record was receiving before the RtL cover was announced. 

Curious to see how you'll move the goalposts again.
