Megadethin Dave Mustaine: ”Nick Menzan kuolema särki sydämeni”
Thrash metali kärkinimiin kuuluvan Megadethin entinen rumpali Nick Menza menehtyi sydänkohtaukseen toukokuussa kesken kesken Ohm -nimisen yhtyeensä keikan. Meadethin nokkamies Dave Mustaine suunnittele parhaillaan Menzan muistolle omistettua erikoiskonserttia, ja bändin keikka Revolver Music Awards -tapahtumassa 13.12. tulee pitämään sisällään kunnianosoituksen hänelle. Mustaine muisteli Menzaa myös eilen 1.11. Brooklynissa New Yorkissa järjestetyssä lehdistötilaisuudessa, ja kertoi miehen poislähdön särkeneen hänen sydämensä:
”When we realized that [Nick] wasn’t gonna be able to play with us, a big part of me died, because I still secretly… well, not secretly, I guess — I think people knew we were trying. I had hoped that we would be able to play together at least one more time, and when he passed away, it was hard for me. We were playing some place in — I can’t remember where it was — and I dedicated a song to him, and I broke down in the middle of the song.”
”It’s really weird when you have those moments and you don’t know how much you care about somebody until something terrible like that happens. So if I could say anything tonight without being too corny, if there’s somebody that you owe an ’I love you’ to, or ’I forgive you,’ or ”I’m sorry,’ do it, because you never know when someone’s gonna be gone. I had no idea Nick was gonna go, and when he died, it broke my heart. So we wanna celebrate his life.”
