Megadeth returns to Greece next month, eight years after their last appearance in Athens, this time as part of Release Athens 2024, on Friday, June 14. Ahead of the concert, Dave Mustaine spoke with Rock Overdose. An excerpt from the chat follows...

Rock Overdose: Last year marked the 40th anniversary of the band. Did you expect things to last that long when you started? Despite the ups and downs you could go through, would you do things the same way again if you had the chance?

Dave Mustaine: "I did not expect things to last this long. I'm excited about it and I think we've made friends with people that listen to our music. We've adjusted our outlook towards the music business that we continue to make our music, regardless of what format they're being recorded in, or regardless of how many stupid fights have been made between artists, labels or attorneys and stuff. Would I do anything different? Probably a few things, but, it's really a whole bunch more that I wont do over again."
