  QUESTION:  
 
hey marty,
hope this e/mail finds you well and rocking. i am a big fan of yours. i own your first cacophony cd which is great, all the megadeth stuff (yeah) and 3 of your solo releases. i mean scenes, true obsession and introduction. scenes is my favorite.
let me fire my question. i read in and older faq that you said to a guy or a girl (we must always mention the girls or they'll come over in rage!!!) that electric guitar is an instrument that you think it cannot be blend with classical instruments orchestras etc.. your friend and guitar virtuoso jason (there's only one jason)has made such a great work in his perspective cd using a small orchestra and electric guitar played by michael lee firkins. what's your opinion about that which i personally thinks kicks ass and it's very emotional?
2} what do you think of the last megadeth cd. i believe kick the chair,the scorpion and truth be told can join the group of the band's finest moments.
3) your opinionabout michael lee firkins

thanx for the inspiration all these years. waiting for the dvd. keep on rocking
 
     
  MARTY'S ANSWER:  
 
1. It's a fabulous piece of music he wrote, but I still am not sold on the lead instrument being an electric guitar. I'd rather hear a violin.
2. I heard the album, it all sounded great to me.
3. Amazing
