-On Joining Megadeth and How Megadeth influenced him.

“Starting from the Beginning It (Megadeth) was my favorite band in the world. That was the Band that when I Was 14 or 15 I got thew cassette and it just changed my whole life. I quit the soccer team and bought got my self a guitar and thats what i wanted to do. And so I modeled a lot of what I’m doing in Lamb of God on how Megadeath did their thing. It was a huge honor to think that I got to the point of making a success of the band that I started in Lamb of God, but then to get drafted in to the big leagues, you know the big 4, one of these bands that made a huge difference for all of us I was thrilled beyond belief!

Once in, It was Challenging because Dave is Megadeth. We didn’t sit around talking about what if we did this or that. Dave has a very clear vision what wants to he wants to do. But I felt that my role was to push him a bit. Not that I think of me self as some one who could do it but I realize that there was a reason to pick me. I try and come in to up the craftsmanship of the tools that were available to him as a guitar player. And thats the reason i live Megadeth is because of the guitar playing, I want to be able to put a solid backbone to what you guys are playing.”
