Megadeth studioon maaliskuussa

Yhdysvaltalaisen thrash metallin legendan Megadethin vokalisti / kitaristi Dave Mustaine on antanut hiljattain haastattelun Full Metal Jackielle, jossa paljastaa yhtyeen aikovan siirtyä studioon maaliskuun 2. päivä nauhoittamaan seuraavaa albumiaan. Mies on myös samassa haastattelussa todennut, että hän ei aio enää koskaan kirjottaa kappaleita radiosoittoa ajatellen. Voit lukea Dave Mustainen mietteitä aiheesta tästä:

”I’m going in the studio March 2 no matter what. And the songs that we have right now, we talked to the label, and I said, ’I’m not making another radio song ever.’ ’Cause that’s what record companies want. And I think that was the bane of MEGADETH’s existence. When ’Countdown [To Extinction]’ came out, we had so many radio songs… From ’Countdown’ to ’Youthanasia’ to ’Cryptic [Writings]’ to ’Risk’ and going down and down and down, it was more radio, radio, radio… You know, I love all those songs, but it’s not really what MEGADETH fans wanna hear; they wanna hear stuff like ’The Conjuring’, like ’Set The World Afire’, like ’Devil’s Island’, stuff like ’Holy Wars’, stuff like ’Take No Prisoners’… And I get it — I wrote those songs, [and] I can do that in my sleep — but when you’re having someone else say, ’This is what you have to do,’ either you listen or you don’t.”

”The most exciting part right now is that I’ve been cataloging songs my whole career, and I had stuff from microcassettes to cassette tapes… I mean, I didn’t have any 8-tracks, but I had everything possible that you could put any kind of medium of music on, including handwritten tablature. It took me three years to archive all this stuff.”

Dave Mustaine on myös kommentoinut kysymystä, että onko hänen mielestään Megadeth vain Dave Mustainen sooloprojekti seuraavasti:

”In MEGADETH, I think that my heart feels it’s unfair to discredit the other guys that I’m playing with, because it is really a team effort, although I carry a lot of the weight. It’s like a quarterback — I touch the ball on every play. Like a pitcher, I touch the ball on every play. But I do recognize that people know I’m the leader. Now some leaders can… they’re like in the animal kingdom… the head’s in the front and the asshole’s in the back. But I think we’re more like a living organism. Not so much as amoeba, but we all work together. It’s, like, a car has four tires. And the reason that guys have been asked to leave or quit was because they decided they were gonna turn one direction and the other three wheels are going in a different direction.”
