MEGADETH's MUSTAINE: 'GLEN DROVER Was A Temporary Member That Did Us A Real Solid'

August 26, 2009

Keith Carman of Exclaim.ca recently conducted an interview with MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.

On MEGADETH's new album, "Endgame":

"I think a lot of ['Endgame''s strength] comes from that the band is really getting along right now. The chemistry is really working. [It] started when Shawn [Drover, drums] joined the band. [Brother/guitarist] Glen Drover was a temporary member that did us a real solid. He brought in Shawn and he recommended Chris [Broderick, guitar]. Where he was 25 years ago when I started the band, I don't know. Ah, he would've been about ten back then."

On current MEGADETH bassist James Lomenzo (formerly of DAVID LEE ROTH, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY and WHITE LION):

"James is becoming a favorite with fans, as you can tell by the increasing number of fans on his side of the stage that happen to be of the female persuasion. I suppose that would have done him a lot better 25 years ago, but, oh, well. I don't give a fuck."
