So, apparently, CHRIS ADLER, the guy who used to hit things for LAMB OF GOD (you know, that band your little brother used to listen to before he discovered REAL metal 🤘), says that playing with MEGADETH was a “dream come true.” Oh, honey, bless your heart. A “dream come true” to play with a band whose best days were back when your mom was still wearing leg warmers? 😂
Let’s be real, Adler graced MEGADETH with his presence on the “Dystopia” album in 2016, and even slummed it with them on tour for a whole five months. Five months! That’s like, what, a long weekend in metal years? And when he couldn’t be bothered to show up (probably because he remembered he was in LAMB OF GOD), they had some dude named Tony Laureano fill in. You know, the guy who techs for bands that are actually brutal.
Then, MEGADETH finally wised up and got Dirk Verbeuren, who, let’s be honest, is probably wondering what he did to deserve that gig after leaving SOILWORK. 🤔
In a recent interview with some YouTube channel nobody’s ever heard of, Adler gushed about working with Dave Mustaine. He said, “Everybody loves to pick on Dave, and I feel bad for him.” Oh, you feel bad for him, do you? Maybe you should have told him to stop writing songs about aliens and government conspiracies. Just a thought. 👽
Adler went on to say that Mustaine is a “really nice guy.” Sure, Jan. We all know Mustaine is just one bad hair day away from declaring war on Canada. But hey, whatever floats your boat, Chris. 🛶
Apparently, hearing a MEGADETH song back in the day set Adler on the path to “do everything that he did.” So, we can blame MEGADETH for LAMB OF GOD? Great. Thanks, Dave. 🙄
He reminisced about spending two months in Nashville with Mustaine, “just jam[ming] all the time.” I bet that was a blast. Two grown men in their fifties, “jamming.” Someone get the Depends. 👴👵
And then, the kicker: “Dystopia” won a Grammy! 🏆 A Grammy! For MEGADETH! That’s like giving an Oscar to a cat video. And apparently, this caused “tension” in LAMB OF GOD. Because, you know, winning awards is bad for metal cred. 🤘 NOT!
Adler then went on to describe Mustaine as “the most generous, nicest, kindest guy” once you’re in his “inner circle.” Which probably involves signing a blood oath and promising to never question his political views. 🩸
Oh, and Adler recommended Dirk Verbeuren for the MEGADETH gig, calling him “probably [one of the] top three drummers in the world.” So, either Adler has terrible taste in drummers, or he was just trying to get rid of Dirk. 🤔
But here’s the best part: Mustaine later said that Adler was never a full-time member of MEGADETH and was merely “a session guy.” Ouch. Talk about getting friend-zoned in metal. 💔
But don’t worry, Mustaine also said that Adler’s “positive energy and really optimistic outlook towards life and music in general” was “really inspiring.” So, at least he got a participation trophy. 🏅
