'Rust In Peace' & 'Peace Sells ... But Who's Buying?)'

True story:

I was in high school -- had to be 14 or 15 -- and I was standing in the lunch line. It's vivid as all get out. In front of me is a kid named Mark. He was in my grade.

I knew he was a sort of a metalhead (altough he played sports) and he knew I played guitar.

He turns to me.

"Want to see what God looks like?"

"Sure."

He opens his wallet, and inside one of the photo sleeves was a shot of Dave Mustaine. I look at it, speechless. He closes his wallet and walks on. We never speak of it again.

I'll never forget that as long as I live. The day I saw God.
