In a new interview with George Dionne of KNAC.COM, ex-MEGADETH guitarist Chris Poland discussed his time in the band, including his first tour experience at L'Amours in New York.

He described being blown away by the energy of the crowd and struggling to find his footing on stage.

Poland was a member of MEGADETH from 1984 to 1987 and performed on several classic albums with the band.

Poland also shared details about his departure from the band, including an alleged attempt by Dave Mustaine to give him a shot after he left, but ultimately not getting paid for his work on the reissue of 'Rust In Peace'.

Poland recalled trying to call Mustaine and his manager multiple times without receiving a response.

He emphasized that the dispute was not about being difficult or seeking payment for no reason.

Poland's personal history with MEGADETH also came up in conversation, including the infamous song 'Liar', which Mustaine wrote about him after he left the band.

Poland reflected on how he wasn't angry when he first heard about the song and felt that it was more of a 'pot calling the kettle black' situation.

The conversation with Dionne touched on several key points in Chris Poland's history, including his time as a member of MEGADETH, his departure from the band, and his personal experiences.

The interview serves as a reminder of Poland's enduring legacy within the world of heavy metal music.
