Ahead of one's time?

Hey KTCU listeners. It's Foley from the Metal Effect blogging live from the studio. We just got through playing some old school Megadeth from the late 80's. Its weird. I play these songs and they still seems new to me even though they're 20 years old. The term "ahead of it's time" get thrown around a lot, so much so that its basically lost its meaning. I normally try not use it, but I'm going to right now.

Megadeth is a band that was ahead of their time. If you don't believe me go check out their older albums like "Rust in Peace" or "Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?" Both are metal classics from the 80's. But they deal with subject matter that still rings true today. Is it one of those history repeats itself kind of things or is the apocalyptic world that Dave Mustaine talks about in his lyrics actually coming to be? I'll let you guys decide.

In the words of Dave Mustaine from Megadeth's debut album "rattle your *** **** head"
