It's a decent enough vocal mic, although there's a circuit in it that can randomly get fried. I have encountered two dead ones.

Still nowhere near when Geoff Tate did it in 2007.

Well, to be fair, Hetfield started that by being a bit hostile to Dave in an interview. He sort of told Dave to shut up about wanting to do a sideproject with Hetfield and that he's reminding him of why the "old Mustaine" wasn't fun to be around.

I'm starting to warm up to the new album. I think the previous record was better, but there are few really good songs on the new record.

Well, "If I Could Fly" is a real gem. A bit overplayed, sure, but it's the superior song.

That's a solid interpretation.

Not to mention his performance in the Red Alert game.

He almost did that two years ago. Played seven out of 8 Virtual XI songs, 5 X Factor songs and a Blaze Bayley tune. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/blaze-bayley/2024/rockland-sala-gruva-sweden-53abffdd.html It was a great gig.

They have played If I Could Fly consistently for what, 25 years? Perfect Gentleman is also pretty common.

I think it's a great record.

Thank you for acknowledging this. And sure, if (which you really can't though), you take this out of the political context, then I'm inclined to agree with you. But you cannot.

I used one of your favorite argument tactics, "whataboutism", so what's good for the goose is good for the gander, right? No, the core argument the rest of us have made is that this is a concentrated propaganda effort and smear campaign by Fox News that is not relevant to him seeking the office...

And he is silent about Xi Jinping. And about the corruption and dictatorship in Cameroon. But he isn't silent on Donald Trump. I definitely have a problem with this. We can do this over just about any issue not related to the position of being Mayor in New York. It is a smear campaign, which...

He is running for Mayor. Mayor. They are trying to weaponize the issue of Hamas and Israel against him because his policies are very popular. To refuse to participate in it exactly what he should do.

Pretty sure the studio was pretty damn goo towards the end. But same as with Yngwie Malmsteen and his really expensive home studio, you also need somebody with a great set of ears and skills to make the best of it, and that somebody is not Tony Newton and not Steve Harris.
