Dave Mustaine David Ellefson 2016Legendaarsen Megadethin nokkamies Dave Mustaine kertoo tuoreessa Reverb.com-haastattelustaan mielipiteitän metallimusiikin nykytilasta. Hän kommentoi aihetta seuraavasti:

”I think there are a lot of exciting new bands out there, but I also think that inasmuch as there are great bands out there that need to be heard, they may not be ready to go on the road. I think that’s one of the things that’s hurting these young, talented musicians: they get ready to go on the road, they make a bunch of empty promises, and [they] go on the road and crash and burn.

”You have no idea how many new Randy Rhoads there are out there or other fantastic talents that we’re not going to hear because they weren’t ready.

”I think the new musicians, a lot of them are good players, especially with the advent of technology for people to record and stuff like that, but there are also a lot of people who aren’t mature enough to get in a bus and leave their home for six weeks and ride around, slogging it out.”

Mustaine totesi aiemmin tänä vuonna, että nuoret yhtyeet eivät saa osakseen samanlaisia mahdollisuuksia kuin Megadeth, sillä musiikkiteollisuus on kokenut suuria muutoksia. Hän kertoi aiheesta Paste Magazinelle:

”There are a lot of new bands out there that unfortunately don’t get to make the same decisions that we and other bands did because the nature of the music business has totally changed.

”A lot of bands, when they wanna ’make it,’ they go from the rehearsal room to the studio to the stage to getting signed and being a legit band in a really brief time, and they don’t have the opportunity to really develop or to learn what it’s really like on the road.

”In every professional business, such as the sports world, for example, they have rookie camp where they tell you there’s gonna be gold diggers, and you’re gonna have some of your so-called friends come out of nowhere and ask for loans, and you need to talk like this and say that,” he continued. ”Obviously I never had any media training. [Laughs] But some of these younger bands, I think it’s disgraceful the way the labels are prostituting them out, because good songs need to germinate. You don’t plant a field and harvest it the next day. You can cram for a test, but you can’t cram for a crop.”
