Classics Reborn

Not sure I remember seeing all these clips of "before they were famous"
(spoiler tags used to stop the page loads from slowing things down)


Jeff Loomis in 1991, 3 years after MegaDave told him he was too young to be in Megadeth




Cliff With Agents Of Misfortune 1979-81, I remember seeing this or videos similar.



Zakk Wylde in High School, before the terrible video of him and Sebastian Bach as a wedding band that did the rounds a few years back.

Yeah simply being 16 in that highly toxic environment would not have been good. But I also couldn't see Jeff fitting in with Mustaine, they might we be friends now but I don't think that would have been the case if he'd been in the band 30 odd years ago.

There is a few version of this, I think it popped up when Sebbie was bitching and moaning about SR not listening to him and how he'd bury the hatchet for the sake of the fans.

Yeah that's true. Apparently Mustaine told him he was going to be a great player and in demand (or something like that) so Mustiane recognised his talent. Thankfully he also recognised how toxic the situation would have been for a 16 yr old.

Well you'd have to say that none of the band at time would have been in any fit state to save him if something happened while high. They couldn't save themselves, and in most cases didn't until years after.

Imagine Jeff sitting back now thinking "what could my life have been? Well I could have been dead, or I could have been alive with Mustaine talking about me as if I was dead!"

Someone better tell Vic that the ghost of metal past is standing beside him!

I would like to see Vic down that deer though.
