Chris Poland gets interview by metaljazz.com



“Oh, man, I’ve had such crazy dreams. Like when Gar Samuelsson [above], the drummer from Megadeth, passed away [in 1999] -- he was a very close friend of mine, I grew up learning how to play when we were kids. Right after he died, I had a dream that was so vivid, I can’t tell you. Anyway, in the dream, we’re in the kitchen at his Florida house. And he comes over, and on his hand, his fingernails are black on two or three of his fingers. And then he just takes ‘em off -- his fingertips -- he takes ‘em off and he hands ‘em to me, and he goes, ‘Someday they’ll be able to cure this.’ I woke up, and I was like, ‘Holy sh*t.’ This was about a week after Bastille Day. He passed away on Bastille Day. The thing was, it wasn’t a dark dream at all. It was like an everything’s-okay dream. I knew that everything was fine, and that someday I’d see Gar again.”
