Mustaine would rather retire than…
It’s that time of the month again, Dave Mustaine has something to say and you just know it’s not going to be something positive. Who did he bitch about this time? Metallica? A fellow Megadeth member? Roadrunner Records? Exactly! Roadrunner.
“We’re getting ready to start the next Megadeth record in January and the funny thing is my manager is telling me now how Roadrunner [which released 2007’s ‘United Abominations’ and 2009’s ‘Endgame’] is going out of their way now to try and give me this new huge deal, and I just don’t want it. I don’t want it. The treatment’s been terrible over the years, and I just don’t want it. I would rather retire than continue to play like that. Either we’re gonna release [future recordings] digitally [on our own] or [see] what happens next. We’ve got this last record [that we owe to] Roadrunner [as part of our current contract]; it’s gonna be a great record ’cause the songs are really, really good. ‘Cause I don’t want my side of the bargain to be tainted — I wanna be a gentleman and be respectful and deliver my side of the deal, whether or not the other party has or not.”
More here.
As you might remember, a while after ‘Endgame’ was released, Mustaine already bitched about Roadrunner not properly promoting the album.
Who’s going to get hit by the Mustaine fist of bitch next?

Do young metalheads, who got into heavier music because of Soulfly’s work with Fred Durst, even know that Max Cavalera used to be a Death Metal vocalist? Yes, seriously.
Now, who’s to blame for Sepultura not reuniting? Who’s to blame that we’re not getting great music, instead of awful albums about A Clockwork Orange?
Make the jump to see what Max Cavalera thinks about said situation.
Interview: Chuck Billy (Testament)
Thanks to Natalie Camillo, I got to do an email interview with the man, the legend Chuck Billy of Testament.
Actually it wasn’t an email interview per se. I sent my questions via email, Ms. Camillo asked Billy the questions via phone and she sent me the answers back. Sounds complicated? Well, I can barely turn on my Xbox 360 without getting confused, so all this technology and electronic mail thingy is making my head spin.
Check out the interview after the jump.
