  Title : Working with Jeff Loomis  
         
  QUESTION:  
 
Hello, Marty, hope you're going great and your damn fountain of youth found in Japan is still functioning, you lifehacker. No offence. :D I discovered Jeff after watching some EMG live performances on YouTube. And instantly i spotted, that certain moments remind me of you and Jason Becker! Then i heard "Mercurial" and that was like "FUKKEN AWESOME!" (by the way, what part was actually written by you? from 3:11 in the track?) I started a wikipedia search and found out a lot more, but i want to hear a bit from you. Can you say that you got in "Megadeth" thanks to him? Correct me if i am wrong, please. What are your relationships right now? And what stuff did you do together (heard that he was involved in Future Addict)? And what is your overall opinion of Jeff Loomis? Can't wait to hear from you. And for you gig in Russia. Cheers! :)
 
     
  MARTY'S ANSWER:  
 
Jeff is a fantastic guitarist and a swell guy too. He had no hand in me joining Megadeth, I only came to know him several years later. He played on "Burn The Ground" on Future Addict. He did an absolutely wicked solo.
