Megadeth frontman/guitarist Dave Mustaine has shared his favorite song he co-wrote for Metallica in a new interview with LA Weekly. Mustaine was infamously being dumped from the outfit back in 1983 for his then problems with alcohol and drug abuse. He said of his choice:
“My favorite? Hmmm. Interesting. Good question. You know, I like “Phantom Lord” and “Metal Militia” because they are very interesting songs. But I think if you were going to go for my favorite Metallica song that I wrote it would probably have to be [Ride the Lightning instrumental] “Call of Ktulu.” It stands on itself. And when you have a song that can stand on itself without words that’s a big statement.”
Megadeth will have their fifteenth album “Dystopia” out this Friday, January 22nd.
