12.30.2007 - Who is Diana?

I was listening to "Wake Up Dead" the other day and heard the name Diana mentioned. Who is she? I'd like to know. Thanks!

Ah Diana, the face the launched a thousand album sales, millions even! "Wake Up Dead" is basically about cheating on your lover and sneaking back into the house hoping that you won't get caught, because if you do, you'll surely "wake up dead". The mistress in this particular instance is Diana, the name of Mustaine's former flame. Diana allegedly caused a bit of a stir in the band back in 1989, according to Dave Mustaine's "Megadeth: Behind the Music" interview on VH1. Jeff Young, former guitarist for the Megadeth, was apparently contemplating putting the moves on Diana, much to the dismay of Mustaine, which was part of the reason that he was fired from the band. Happy New Year mates!
