In a shocking turn of events, former MEGADETH guitarist Chris Poland has spoken out about the infamous song “Liar” from the band’s 1988 album “So Far, So Good… So What?”, which was written by Dave Mustaine about him 🤯. In a recent interview with U.K. radio veteran Paul Stephenson of VRP Rocks, Poland revealed that being publicly called a “liar” by Mustaine didn’t exactly do wonders for his career 🚀. But, you know, who needs a career when you can play instrumental, whacked-out fusion music for a handful of people 🎸? Poland joked that his career was hardly affected by the drama, mainly because his music was so niche that only a select few were even listening 🤣.
Poland continued to spill the tea, saying that he’s currently writing a book called “Now Leaving Metalopolis” with music journalist Matt Herring, and it’s going to be a real page-turner 📚. The book will feature Poland’s side of the story, including some juicy rebuttals to the claims made by Mustaine over the years 🤔. Poland made it clear that he’s not holding any grudges, thanks in part to the wise words of late MEGADETH drummer Nick Menza, who told him to let go of all the drama 🙏.
But enough about the past; let’s talk about the present 🕰️. Poland’s book is almost ready to hit the shelves, and it’s packed with funny stories and behind-the-scenes anecdotes 📖. He even shared some audio excerpts from the book, which can be heard online 🎧. And, as a special treat, Poland reflected on his time in MEGADETH, including his regret over Mustaine’s public insults 🤕.
In a bizarre twist, Poland’s former bandmate David Ellefson chimed in with his own two cents, saying that Mustaine had a habit of trash-talking former band members, including Jeff Young 🗣️. Ellefson even claimed that he had to intervene on Young’s behalf back in 2010, and that he’s basically a miracle worker 🙌.
As for Poland, he’s just happy to be moving on from all the drama 🌈. He’s been focused on his fusion band OHM: for over two decades, and they’ve released several albums 🎶. And, in a surprise move, Poland even made a guest appearance on the single “Lockdown” by the band KINGS OF THRASH, which features Ellefson and Young 🤘.
So, what’s the moral of the story? 🤔 Well, it’s clear that Poland is ready to put the past behind him and move on 🌟. And, who knows, maybe his book will be the final nail in the coffin of the MEGADETH drama 👀. One thing’s for sure: with Poland’s instrumental, whacked-out fusion music and his tell-all book, the metal world will never be the same again 🤯. Stay tuned, folks! 🎸👀🤘🎶📚🕰️👍💥😎👏
