So how sad is this

Same here. I recently bought a Megadeath tape at a retro thrift store because my truck has a tape player. I used to love that stuff and now the taste is gone. Still love the music but the lyrics hurt my brain on some of the songs. Symphony of Destruction still hits though.
Megadeath is playing in Charleston WV in Sept, I need to look into getting tickets, but its probably too late now to get them.
