Dave Mustaine Interview Page 7
By Fredrik Hjelm

FH: On the new album, I hear a lot of early '80s British-metal influences, from Iron Maiden to Diamond Head. The final track, "When," even resembles "Am I Evil" by Diamond Head. You had even mentioned in an earlier conversation that you might be doing a project with Brian Tatler of Diamond Head.

DAVE MUSTAINE: "When" is actually supposed to resemble "Am I Evil." I also think that saying we're going back to the NWOBHM (New Wave Of British Heavy Metal) is quite accurate. We never really left that style of music. We just didn't go after it as hard as we used to, for a while. Even though I talk to Tatler regularly, I underline that I don't wanna take away the focus from Megadeth. It's something that means a lot to me, to work with Tatler, but I absolutely do not want to discourage the band members of Megadeth who are my friends and business partners. It's definitely not a priority, if it happens it happens.

FH: "Recipe of Hate/Warhorse" from the new album...I really dig those lyrics! Were those lyrics inspired by someone in particular?

DAVE MUSTAINE: (Laughs) I can't really come to think about anyone that pissed me off enough for me to write a whole song about them. There's probably a whole bunch of people that'd deserve that song, but no one in particular.

FH: You just signed a new five-record deal with Sanctuary/BMG - you also act as an A&R person for them, checking out new bands...

DAVE MUSTAINE: The A&R thing really means that we have our own in-print label which is very exciting for us. There are many new, really good bands out there, that we're hearing, and this actually means that we can help them out. This is also something the whole band can get behind because of our vast experience in the music industry. It's not very often somebody does something without asking for anything in return in this business, but that's just what it is. Obviously, we'll get something in return, but the main reason is that we want to see these people go forward in their career and really score big on the scene with as few mistakes as possible.

FH: Are you looking for anything in particular, music-wise?

DAVE MUSTAINE: Not really. If there's something out there that's cool, we're there. If there's something that I think we should pass on, I'll be honest with them and tell 'em that.
