An excerpt from the forthcoming BW&BK; interview featuring Jeff Westlake and Jeff Young is available below:
Westlake: “We’ve already sent five songs to Lomenzo in Los Angeles…he opened the first one on Saturday, sent it back to us on Monday, and our jaws are still on the floor (laughs). We had certain expectations since it was James Lomenzo doing the track, and what we got back with the first track was what we expected times 10.”
Young: “It’s some of the best playing I’ve heard out of the cat. I have to be honest and say that I haven’t heard any Megadeth since Rust In Peace, but I know the stuff he’s done with Zakk Wylde and he couldn’t have played a more perfect bass line to this song. Without instructions. It’s a very complex song, there’s a lot of chromatic stuff and weird off-time things, and I don’t know how he copped it so quickly. I did write out the intro chromatic lick so he’d know exactly what notes they were, but aside from that we said ‘Have at it’ and what we got back was a finished bass track. It makes the song sound like it’s already been mixed.”
Watch for the complete story, due to be online this weekend.
