MEGADETH Mainman: 'I Have Nothing Bad To Say About JAMES MACDONOUGH'

February 13, 2006

MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine has posted the following message in the "Forum" section of the band's official web site:

"It's been a long time since I posted (yet prolly shorter than most) and a lot of things have been going on in Megaland. Most notably a shift in personnel, a new record starting to be assembled, the finalization of the DVDs for this year, and the nearing of a new label for Megs.

"It would be unctuous of me to slide past what a lot of you are evidently wondering; and that is what happened with [bassist] Jimmy MacDonough? Let me first say that I hope to remain friends with Jimmy (a least longer than the last two Jims I have played with) and I wish him the very best. We have parted ways and I have nothing even remotely bad to say about him. Nothing.

"MEGADETH has hired James Lomenzo [ex-BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, WHITE LION, DAVID LEE ROTH] to play bass, and while preparing for the next record, we are going to work James into the fold here, rehearsing somewhere in So. Cal. next week.

"I am off to L.A. to finish the edit for the Gigantour DVD and besides mainly trying to balance out the entire backstage footage, everything else is done.

"Lastly, I should have news before we leave for Dubai (hopefully sooner) about where MEGADETH has decided to sign to. We are down to the final three and it won't be long before we notify you."
