MEGADETH's DAVE MUSTAINE: 'We Want To Continue To Put Out Quality Stuff'
November 10, 2010Anthony Sulla-Heffinger of the New York Post recently conducted an interview with MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
On composing an original exclusive track for the latest title in the "Guitar Hero" franchise, "Guitar Hero: Warriors Of Rock":
"The goal when we went to the studio was to bring something to the game and we also wound up getting something out of the game while supporting the hugely-popular franchise."
"I definitely think 'Guitar Hero' has opened the music world to a new group of people, musicians and non-musicians alike. No matter what your experience is, it's not that difficult to just pick up and play."
"The truth is, if you're a music fan and you don't like MEGADETH, which I find hard to imagine, 'Sudden Death' can take things to a higher level for you."
On his past substance-abuse issues:
"I don't know if we ever get over it (substance abuse problems),for someone who has flirted with life and death and flirted with drug abuse and alcoholism, something gets broken and you never really recover from that. I was in Texas when I looked up and saw a cross and said to myself, 'What have I got to lose,' those six little words were magic and they changed me."
On MEGADETH's future plans:
"We want to continue to put out quality stuff. Think of MEGADETH as the Ferrari franchise, each year they put out the same car, but you never know what it's going to look like and you're just along for the ride."
