DAVE MUSTAINE - "If The Drover Brothers Had Their Way, The (New) Record Would Be Even Faster"

Star-ecentral.com correspondent Ben Edmonds recently caught up with MEGADETH frontman Dave Mustaine to discuss the band's new album, United Abominations. The following is a brief excerpt from the article:
The new Megadeth CD, United Abominations, contains enough vintage fury to please the faithful, but it comes from a different place.
"I grew up full of anger until people finally loved me into right thinking," Mustaine said. "I no longer have that to tap into, but when you look around, there's plenty to be angry about."Song titles like 'Gears of War', 'Amerikhastan' and 'Washington Is Next!' should tell you what's got his blood bombastically boiling these days.
The current band maintains Megadeth's signature thrash, and Mustaine acknowledges that the need for speed among the newer members (guitarist Glen Drover, bassist James Lomenzo and drummer Shawn Drover) may exceed his own.
"If the Drover brothers had their way, the record would be even faster," he laughs. "But I'm built for comfort more than speed. I'd rather ride in a really slow Mercedes than a really fast Volkswagen."Go to this location for the full story.
