I know it might seem kind of weird for this metal guy to be talking about God and the Lord and all that, but the truth of it is that <I>is</I> it: having a strong faith.</div> <bR> <div> And of course, I was raised in a good family, in a good, strong faith growing up. And as soon as I started drinking and partying, not only did it take me away from my faith, but ultimately, it destroyed my dreams of playing rock ‘n roll. That’s how screwed up it is–it’s not like it made rock ‘n roll better. It even destroyed that.</div> <bR> <div> .....I realized that I can stand on the stage of rock ‘n roll and thrash with the best of ‘em. In fact, my playing gets better the more I spend time developing faith. I realize that the faith has to come first, and the notes seem to naturally follow after.</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id196.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Interview with Dave Ellefson of Megadeth"><U><B>READ FULL ARTICLE (click HERE)</B></U></A></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <div> ---------------------------------------------------------</div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
