"What I got was in shrinkwrap and what he got was in a ziploc"

That whole video is awesome. I always loved the story about meeting Ellefson too. Just imagine laying in bed and the guy below you is playing Running with the Devil on fucking bass over and over again lmao.

But I’m also not really sure what The Four Horsemen story had to do with his first time meeting Cliff.

Yeah but I didn't buy it I traded drugs for it. It was in the form of a barter. I actually did one of the oldest trading techniques in the world, where you trade one thing for something else and I won't tell you exactly what it was I traded, but I did get an AC/DC 'Let There Be Rock' record for it and what I got came in shrink-wrap and what they got came in a zip lock. The first job was a paper route, 9 years old, delivering papers for the Daily Pilot. I would ride my bicycle to the gas station and get a pack of cigarettes because I was bad back then, nine-year-old smoking. Really really really close, and I remember he had an affinity for Lynyrd Skynyrd... And I remember driving to rehearsal one day, we were listening to 'Sweet Home Alabama' and Lars goes, 'Oh, we have to slow this part down in the middle,' and I went 'ok.' So I went.... and I was playing 'Sweet Home Alabama' and he didn't know it. And he goes, 'Fuck, that's fucking brilliant man,' and I went, 'Ok, yeah there we go.' So I ditched the ... Dave Mustaine and Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote 'The Four Horsemen.' I was sleeping, and he was doing that really super technical intro to 'Running with the Devil.' You know, that really hard part, and I opened the window threw a flowerpot at his air conditioner and I screamed some obscenity at him. And after a few minutes he came and knocked on the door, him and his compadre, and they opened the door and I looked at him and they go, 'Oh, well you know were to get some cigarettes?' and I went 'At the corner.' Wham, and I slammed the door. Knocks on the door again, 'Hey, are you old enough to buy beer?' And I was like, now you're talking. And ended up getting a case of beer and became friends and ended up playing after that. Nominated a lot of times, which is great, it's very flattering, but I mean there's only so many times you can say 'Oh, I'm really happy I was just nominated.' Yeah, right. So I remember when we actually did win, the way that they announced it, it was kind of backwards. Margaret Cho was the presenter, and she said 'And the winner is, 'Dystopia.' And it was supposed to have been, the winner was Megadeth, because it was about the band not about the song. It took a second to sink in, and then we got up there and then on the way down there at the music's playing in the background I didn't even care, and we got up there and we did our thing and then somebody goes 'Well, did you hear the song they played when you got your award?' And I and I was like 'No,' and evidently they played a Metallica song. I said you know I I don't feel bad for them, because they did a really really bad job of it. Good thing is it didn't say 'Metallica' on the freaking Grammy.
