Summary
Metal maniacs and hard rock fanatics, this one's for you. We've got two separate conversations today. Former Megadeth guitarist Chris Poland joins Matt to talk about his current project, Nuclear Messiah and their new album, Black Flame and his experience working with Sebastian Bach on a new Uriah Heep cover. They also discuss the early years of Megadeth and a number of other topics. Gary Holt of Exodus and Slayer is also on the podcast to discuss a lot of things, including the new Exodus album Goliath, plus Slayer and the band's performance at Back to the Beginning, his early years with Kirk Hammett of Metallica, how bands like Led Zeppelin helped to inspire how Exodus makes music today and more. Our thanks to both Chris and Gary for spending time with us.
