It’s weird that in 1989, Marty Friedman was just a guy that didn’t want to be homeless, like a hobo boxer.
MARTY FRIEDMAN: Dave wasn't there most of the time. I found this kind of odd because he was supposed to be the Mr. Megadeth guy, but he wasn't even there. When he did show up, he asked me if I could loan him a hundred bucks. I had just joined the band after being homeless and he drives up in a Mercedes asking me for a hundred bucks. I didn't know what to make of any of this because I was quite naive. I knew that I really liked the guys, but the whole drug thing was the hardest part for me to overcome. I didn't want to go back to being homeless.
