A few months ago I shared a hotel with legendary rappers Ice-Cube and Snoop-Dog. Well, my luck continues… I’ve been meaning to mention that while in Regina the other week I once again lived among the stars. This time it was Black Sabbath and Megadeth.

Yes, you read it right, Megadeth. Artistic force behind such albums as Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying? and Countdown to Extinction. Hilariously, the smell of pot pervaded my room (and the hotel generally) from the moment they checked in until the moment I checked out.

One wonders… how did megadeth get its name? I mean, back in their dad’s garage did they once have this conversation?:

Chris Poland: If we’re going to be a death metal band we need a name that means death.

Dave Mustain: “Yeah, but not just death, lots of death.”

Gar Samuelson: “Dude, lots and lots of death, totally deadlier then anything else.”

Chris Poland: “Totally, tons of death. Like Mega-Death.”

Gar Samuelson: “Wicked! Mega Death. Like how can you have more death than mega death?”

Chris Poland: “Totally.”
