July 7, 2015, 8 years ago
Former Megadeth drummer Nick Menza has uploaded the isoltated drums for their hit "Sweating Bullets", which was released in 1993 as the third single from Countdown To Extinction. The song charted at #29 on the US Mainstream Rock chart and at #26 in the UK.
The term "sweat bullets" means to be very nervous or anxious about something. About the lyrics, Dave Mustaine stated "I wrote that about myself. It was pointed out to me that I'm kind of schizophrenic and that I live inside my head. Which is something I don't subscribe to, but I enjoyed the theory nonetheless.", and "I think all of us are sweating bullets all the time. Society's a joke right now, and people are getting more and more hostile. When you think about having an evil twin or schizophrenia, I think a lot of us are schizo, because we live inside our heads. There's someone we all confer with; it's called our conscience. Some people cannot control their other side; it takes them over. Everybody has that psychotic side. Everyone has a thing that will make them snap."
Mwnza will join former Megadeth guitarist Chris Poland at a benefit concert for Poland's OHM: bandmate David Eagle (drums) on July 9th at The Baked Potato in Studio City, CA. Eagle remains in ICU following open-heart surgery over six weeks ago, required after he suffered a heart attack.
