Dave Mustaine & Jay Buchanan

Dave Mustaine returns to celebrate Megadeth's latest album reaching #1 on the charts - a rare achievement for a pure metal record. He shares the emotional moment he learned about the milestone and details the extensive marketing campaign behind the release. Despite this success, Mustaine candidly discusses the physical limitations affecting his playing ability, particularly issues with his hands that make this Megadeth's final studio album. He offers insights into standout tracks like 'Tipping Point,' 'Hey, God,' and his cover of Metallica's 'Ride The Lightning,' which he co-wrote. The conversation turns to the physical toll that decades of metal performance has taken on the 'Big Four' bands, with Mustaine suggesting a potential final Big Four show with rotating slots for Megadeth, Anthrax, and Slayer beneath headliners Metallica. Also on the podcast, Rival Sons frontman Jay Buchanan joins Eddie Trunk to discuss his solo album 'Weapons of Beauty', a departure from his rock band's sound featuring acoustically-driven, personal ballads. Jay reveals his unconventional creative process, spending three months in an underground desert bunker to focus on songwriting. He shares insights about the album's lead single 'Caroline', his experience acting in the Bruce Springsteen film 'Deliver Me from Nowhere', and reflects on Rival Sons' performance at Black Sabbath's farewell show.  Catch Eddie Trunk every M-TH from 3:00-5:00pm ET on Trunk Nation on SiriusXM Faction Talk Channel 137.And don’t forget to follow Eddie on X, Instagram & TikTok!Follow the link to get your free 3-month trial of SiriusXM: http://siriusxm.com/eddietrunk Find all episodes of Trunk Nation: https://siriusxm.com/trunknation Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
