I know, crazy huh. I was kind of sad this morning when I heard the news. Megadeth are my all time favourite band, and he played on my all time favourite album. Back when I heard Rust In Peace for the first time I was blow away, and he played a part in that. Fantastic drummer.
LOVE: On a lighter note, other than Nick's passing away - I've had a fucking awesome weekend. Worked Saturday, and it wasn't so good. Then after work I was met by my mate and a surprise visitor, a friend of ours who's a head chef in Berlin. Whenever he visits we always have fun. This time we drank some really good beers, smoked some really good weed, then went to a tapas restaurant beside the market I work in. Apparently it is good (but a little expensive), but seeing as though we were with the chef we couldn't eat somewhere shit, so we hit it up. When we entered I heard the guy say "I didn't even recognise him", thought they were talking about me as my coffee cart is about 20 meters from the resturant, but none of the staff ever come for coffee, so I didn't think much of it. We sat, ordered, ate, and it was amazing. When my mate (the chef) asked for the bill, the manager came over, shuck my hand and told me that the whole bill was on the house. It was kind of surreal. Of course he probably expects me to recommend the place (which I will) and come again with more people and pay (which again, I surely will). But it was just really cool, and I couldn't quite believe it. Anyway, we left a big tip and left the place (still) on a high (literally...)
Then tonight I went to see Blind Guardian for the second time in two years, and they were, again, superb. So I've had a real swell weekend! Tomorrow I'm off and I'm going to be lazy as hell, stay in, sleep, do laundry and listen to music.
