MEGADETH Leader DAVE MUSTAINE Talks New Tour - “Right Now The Energy Level And The Fun Kind Of Harkens Back To What It Was Like During The Rust In Peace Era”
February 23, 2016, 8 years ago
In a new interview with Ticketmaster, Megadeth leader Dave Mustaine explains what can fans expect when they see the band on their new tour.
“Not a lot of people have seen us play with Chris [Adler] and Kiko [Loureiro] except for what they witness on the internet”, says Mustaine. “And I can tell you, we’ve always had really, really great talented players in the band. I’ve been really fortunate with that. But right now the energy level and the fun kind of harkens back to what it was like during the Rust In Peace era, where it was just unbridled metal guitar ferociousness out on stage. Just letting it rip and having a rhythm section that can really push things to keep it energetic. You know, it’s so important to have a good drummer and a good bass player, and I think right now the combination of David Ellefson and Chris Adler is just unbeatable.”
