Erik Turner (Warrant) on auditioning for Megadeth"

When I was 16, there was a paper called The Recycler in Orange County, and there was an ad in there. I had never heard of Metallica at the time, but it says ex-Metallica guitarist forming new band, Megadeth, inquire if you're interested. So I contacted Dave Mustaine through the paper, the phone or whatever. And I went down I think it was Huntington Beach, and it was his mom's apartment or something there that he was staying at. I don't know whose, I think it was his mom. I don't know, I could be wrong. But anyways, I met Dave, we talked, and that was it. I never got past that. Audition is to the next level of actually jamming with. But, years later we lived in the same apartment building in Sherman Oaks. I would see him at different places and say hi. And I reminded him of that story. And yeah, he's always been super cool to me."
