Listen: Dave Mustaine Sings on John 5’s New Song, “Qué Pasa”
There’s a song on guitar savant John 5’s new solo album that features a vocal sample by Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine. He’d wanted to use a James Brown sample — presumably the one at the beginning of “Get on the Good Foot” — but thought they’d get sued, so they got Mustaine to record it instead. Neat, eh?
Now, via the magic of the information superhighway and cellular telephone technology, that song is available for all of us to hear despite Mr. 5’s new album, Sinner, not coming out until October 31. It’s called “Qué Pasa,” and Johnny Cinco — best know for his work as Rob Zombie’s sideman, but performing with his solo band here — played it live in St. Louis on August 17, whereupon someone filmed it in decent quality. It’s a fun tune! Like all of his stuff. Have a jam below.
