MEGADETH Bassist On ROADRUNNER: 'We're Very Happy With The Relationship So Far'

July 6, 2007

During an interview with DelRock.it conducted on June 30, 2007 prior to MEGADETH's performance at the Gods of Metal festival in Milan, Italy, the band's bassist James Lomenzo was asked about the label switch to Roadrunner following a split with Sanctuary Records. "It's always difficult when you make a move like that," Lomenzo replied. "But Roadrunner's been extremely supportive throughout the whole process. There's been some mistakes made, but that happens in every label-band situation — it's just misinterpretations about what one person would wanna do and another one… Ultimately, though, Roadrunner's been really very behind MEGADETH in a really positive way — right down to the inception of making the music to the back end of it, looking at exactly what markets we really belong in. We're very happy with the relationship so far — it's been good."
