Deep down inside, if we had the balls, we would tell more people ‘I don’t care’ more often.” Musically, MUSTAINE explains: “Part of the main riff in this track had been floating around in my head since we did TSTD&TD (The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!), so I was pumped to start recording ‘I Don’t Care’ for this LP. I really love the guitar nuances in the track. There is the main rhythm riff, next, a very d...
