And going into that kind of micromanaging of the song, that minutiae production, we started to see a lot of things in the song where it seemed like there was no guide for the song. So we did everything the way that we do our recordings. And I believe it got a little more straightforward with the riffing and everything.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sad Wings Of Destiny by far is my fave <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/judaspriest?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@judaspriest<\/a> record and i will always hail Glen and KK as a great guitar duo! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GEvb6mlhpR\">https:\/\/t.co\/GEvb6mlhpR<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Dave Mustaine (@DaveMustaine) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DaveMustaine\/status\/718748919899901953?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 9, 2016<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">A few years ago,\u00a0<strong>Mustaine<\/strong>\u00a0picked\u00a0<strong>JUDAS PRIEST<\/strong>&#8216;s\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Sad Wings Of Destiny&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0as one of the albums that changed his life.
