We played a bunch of shows with them ’93, towards the end of the “Black Album” cycle, where they played with us in Europe, where we were very close again for a while. Ulrich: Dude, it’s been so on and off over the years.
Revolver: When do you feel you rekindled your friendship? And in some way, you could argue that the thing press was doing, about setting our bands up, eventually started kind of transcending itself into our personal relationship and probably became a big part of the fact that over the ’90s, it got a little frosty at times. And I sort of think it got a life of its own. The press loved the whole Megadeth– Metallica. There was almost like two relationships there. It wasn’t until both bands started getting bigger that this whole kind of thing started happening in the press, which was really kind of different than what we had going between us. Me and Dave had kind of a friendship and cool thing going at that time, up through most of the ’80s. We were sitting there, playing “Blackened” and a bunch of other stuff while we were busy keeping ourselves awake. I remember actually when we finished the “…And Justice For All” album in L.A., in the summer of ’88, I went to some apartment and played it for him at 5 in the morning. This might have been ’89, and we’d just hang out. I remember at the “…And Justice For All” tour, we played down in Irvine Meadows, and Dave came down and hung out at the last couple of shows at the “Justice” tour. For those years, ’84, ’85, me and him got over our issues really quickly at that time.
And I would always go find him, and we would drink and do lots of drugs and sit around. Dave Mustaine would come up and play San Francisco a lot. That literally became my favorite record for a long time. Ulrich: I don’t remember getting into that first record, but when “Peace Sells” came out in ’86, it just blew me away. Revolver: Lars, how much attention did you pay Megadeth early on?
