Megadeth’s new album has a title

Megadeth‘s new album has a title. And the title is: 13

Yep. That’s all. I wanted to add some snide comments, but I actually like it. Short, easy to remember, let’s just hope it kicks ass.

Isn’t Dave superstitious though? Or is he doing reverse psychology on bad luck? The cover should be a broken mirror with a black cat on it, or something.

So the album is almost finished. It has a title. And an estimated release date (November). All they need now is announce the exact day of release.

It’s been a couple of productive years for the four bands. Unlike me, I’ve been slacking since the mid 80s.

Will Diamond Head join The Big Four jam?

I actually wanted to go to Knebworth for Sonisphere, but couldn’t. Man, am I going to regret this…

Diamond Head (whose ‘Am I Evil’ song is usually played when the four bands jam) will play on the same stage as Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth and Metallica. So will they join the jam at the end?

The video above with David Ellefson and Shawn Drover of Megadeth seems to hint towards that idea. It would be pretty epic indeed, and I don’t see why they wouldn’t.

I hope it will be pro shot so we don’t have to witness it via godawful cellphone footage.

UPDATE: Metallica.com confirms that Brian Tatler of Diamond Head joined the jam.

Speaking of Sonisphere, other musicians playing that festival were asked to pick their favorite Big Four band. Their quotes, after the jump.

Die, Die Their Darlings

Just one day after I posted my mini-rant about Lombardo and his lame excuse for not playing the “Big Four jam,” the bands performed together yet again on the Italian gig.

As my stupid title suggests, they performed “Die, Die My Darling” now. Apparently they only perform covers that Metallica have recorded before. Weird.

Of course, not all members of Slayer joined in but hey, at least the jam happened. I’m sure crappy cellphone footage will surface soon.

New Megadeth album almost finished. Almost.

According to a recent interview with David Ellefson, the new Megadeth album was almost finished. Unfortunately touring got in the way. Dammit.

“We had a ton of ideas and lyrics and things, so the process was really putting it together and then recording that. And we finished that all just this last week right before we came over here — barely [laughs], but we got it done — and so now it’s in our producer’s hands to get it mixed. So he’s working on that, and hopefully — presto — there will be a new album.“

You can watch a video of the interview above after the jump. The interviewing chick is pretty weird looking. I don’t know if I want to sleep with her or just punch her in the face. Maybe both. That’s a compliment by the way.

David Ellefson got a new job

Well, don’t worry, he’s still in Megadeth, I just like misleading titles. It gets us more views and I have no shame.

Apparently David’s been asked to interview people at the Golden Gods Awards and there are A LOT of clips of him talking to various musicians (just like the one above).

I could embed all of them after the jump, but it would make the whole thing kind of awkward and hard to follow, so just go here and browse on the right for whatever clip you want to see.
