 On the charts, that is. I don't know why, but I am actually tempted to buy this. I can't be any worse than Cryptic Writings, right? |

Not that anybody really cares about Megadeth anymore, but here's some funny stuff that James MacDonough said...
New MEGADETH bassist James MacDonough (ex-ICED EARTH) has posted the following message on the band's web site:
"I've met many of you during my travels and will undoubtably meet many more, either you will respect my opinion or not. I'm up front and speak my mind which isn't entirely a good thing but oh well.
"Regarding everything that was spoken in the interview with Jnr. (David Ellefson, former MEGADETH bassist), I need to state something point blank. I am MEGADETH's bassist, bottom line. There will never ever be another Dave in the band. I've sweated blood to get this gig, literally, I've had to adapt to a entirely different style of playing and have put 200% of my heart and soul into this endeavor, if that is even possible to conceive. It will be over my dead body that I give up my post, which won't happen anyway with all the comments I've recieved from 'The General' [Mustaine].
"Most of you won't understand what has gone on in the inner workings of this band, but you see where the music comes from......no one was involved except Mustaine on this album and see how genuine it is. There were no negative influences or other (cancers) to taint the muse. A lot of the basslines you think he came up with, were, of course, Mustaine.
"I don't feel right explaining the ludicrisy [sic] behind what Jr. is suing Dave for, nor is it my place, but I will tell you one thing, some of [the fans'] comments and posts [on MEGADETH's message board] are not far off the mark at all. Jnr. is coming out with all this because he realized what a big mistake he made with the lawsuit. Think about it, why would he insinuate future dealings with Mustaine in the middle of a huge legal ordeal that is global news? Also this gets his name back in the headlines.
"I personally have nothing against him, he was always cordial to me in the past but this is the present and things happen for a reason.
"The new MEGADETH is by far the best line up, most dedicated and this will show at every live performance. I know you will be skeptical at this, but I promise you, just wait.
"I hope I'm not coming off as arrogant. You just have to trust me on this, you'll get more than you bargained for and will not go away disappointed."
200%? I hate people that say shit like this. It's a sign of mediocrity. It's like saying, "When I put in 100%, I'm only doing a half-ass job. I have to put in 200% just to work at my normal potential".
Eh...from Iced Earth to Megadeth. Where's his next stop...Skid Row?

lol...I think Dave has made some really bad choices regarding music. Not to mention Megadeths new bass player going from a good decent band to a band that should have quit with the release of Cryptic Writings. I think Mustaine should end Megadeth. It's long since dead. Proof of it can be seen on their album "Risk"...lol.
