Background information

Hey L1A1 FAL, while tightening up the Megadeth article, I've omitted the information in the blockquote bellow because I considered it trivial for the main page. What do you think, should we add it here?

In 1987 and 88 the band had just spent several months on tour with Savatage. Mustaine was a long time fan of their lead guitarist Criss Oliva. After supporting Ronnie James Dio on tour with Savatage, Mustaine hired Criss's best friend and long-time guitar tech Dan Campbell for the "So Far So Good So What" tours as his personal guitar tech. Mustaine had mentioned to Campbell that he would like to speak to Oliva about the lead guitar position so Campbell called Oliva and Mustaine offered him the position. Oliva seriously considered the move but declined and remained in Savatage.

Additionally, I've managed to found some excerpts of Mustaine's biography at HarperCollins Publishers, in which he elaborates the themes of a few songs from this album (hint: chapter 13, page 230; "Tornado of Souls" is explained on p. 218). While going through the composition and lyrics, I've noticed that not all songs were covered, so I thought to offer some help.

And one last note, can we reduce the quote about how Mustaine invented the album's title? Seems kinda too long, and the last two sentences are not needed, I believe.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 10:34, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
