Turns out he also was making his way up the 1,667-foot building to the sounds of Linkin Park, Nothing More, The Used, and other heavy rock tunes.
"I came up with the concept of the girl with the smoking gun," Livermore told Riot Fest in a 2021 interview. "I can come up with ideas and relay them to an artist, but I can't draw at all. I went to Chris Appelgren, one of my main co-conspirators at Lookout!, and told him what I was envisioning. He drew it, but it wasn't quite right yet, so he drew it again, and everybody said, 'Yeah, that looks cool, but she looks too much like Chris's girlfriend,' which she did. The third time he drew it, that's the cover that became famous and is now on a whole lot of t-shirts."
So many artists, so many songs, so little time.

Atlanta's Ying Yang Twins helped define the crunk era by turning late-night club energy into a national language all its own. Their catalog relies on deep bass, playful braggadocio, and hooks designed for shouted choruses more than quiet contemplation. Songs such as "Salt Shaker" and "Wait (The Whisper Song)" turned clubs into shared sing-along zones that felt as much ritual as entertainment.
At the turn of the 1960s, when free jazz was making its initial seismic impact, multi-instrumentalist Phil Cohran-he later added the name Kelan-was living in Chicago and playing trumpet for Sun Ra's Arkestra. He contributed to crucial recordings by the band during his tenure, including We Travel the Space Ways, but Cohran was a restless autodidact who never stuck with any one project for long.
"I hear it and I go, 'Okay this is a Dave solo record.' This is Dave and his new band, Dave and his new guys," Ellefson said (as transcribed by The PRP). "It says Megadeth, so obviously it gets all the attention, but realistically I hear it, and to me it just doesn't sound like Megadeth. And that's just me, period. You know? It's like Dave, doing what Dave does, but with a different set of guys in a new day. And this is Dave's retirement, you know? So that's my view on it."

he even wears matching blue overalls and a yellow T-shirt, cutting quite the Kevin-esque figure while landing those Axels - music of which he said was chosen to "bring joy and a playful style to the ice while still meeting every required element to show that skating as a male Olympic figure skater can be fun." (One extended step sequence features Guarino Sabaté bumping to EDM while "papaya" is repeated in Minionese.)
Something Worth Waiting For marks Friko's first LP as a quartet, with guitarist Korgan Robb and bassist David Fuller joining founding duo Niko Kapetan and Bailey Minzenberger. It was produced by Mannequin Pussy and Angel Olsen collaborator John Congleton, and recorded at his Los Angeles studio. "If the general theme of the record is transit, then the title gets at the idea of always moving toward something you never quite seem to reach," Kapetan said in a press statement.
