Bro-mero Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 It was announced today that Megadeth drummer Shawn Drover has quit the band, and no more than 12 hours later, guitarist Chris Broderick announces on Twitter that he is leaving as well. Time for Marty Friedman and Nick Menza to return to create Rust In Peace II? One can dream...Thoughts/New Information? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeppelin Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 im speechless........Same here. I saw that Shawn left when I was at work, and when I get home, Chris posts that he's gone too.I wonder what's going on... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Drama Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Heard Shawn left but Chris too? Mustaine being a fanny is an easy way to go but after an incident where he was blamed by default last year here in Australia and it wasnt his fault, Imma let this one reveal itself. Friedman and Menza would be the king considering Dave said he was purposely writing a Rust in Peace sounding album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdeyahlxp Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Can you eleborate more about that incident? I for one, was stoked when a friend said it in a Whatsapp Metal Group we have this morning. I really believe this band had become stale since Endgame. Although I respect Broderick and Drover, I think they didn't fit the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Megadeth was gonna play the Soundwave Festival here in Australia at the start of the year. They were gonna do sideshows with Newsted as support. All of a sudden, Newsted got kicked off the sideshow tour. The festival promoter essentially let it fester, resulting in many, including myself, chanting "Dave's to blame, ginger cockbag bla bla" but when Dave finally chimed in he stated it had nothing to do with him and then Newkid kicked in saying that Mustaine had nothing to do with it and they were good mates. Anyone thinking Lombardo would be good? I think it would be beastly given he can't get Menza back or wouldn't (be called Nick greedy and all that in the RIP reissue booklet FFS) and Gar Samuelson is obviously dead.

Lombardo would be an awesome choice. I still hope Nick will be back and it will be a RIP reunion, but one can probably only dream. Portnoy would also be cool . Wonder who the new guitarist will be...

Andrew07 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 lame, shawn and chris are both amazing musicians i hate to see them go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Read about Shawn last night, didn't know about Chris until I saw this thread. Shame, Chris has been my favorite thing about Megadeth anytime I've seen them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Friedman's not a metal guy anymore. Like he said Megadeth is very monochromatic, only gun metal grey, and he likes to paint in different colours. Inferno is pretty bloody good, the last Megadeth was definitely more of the same from Megadeth. If anything Dave should put Megadeth on hold for a while, and do something with James and Lars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gackt Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I'm guessing Drover/Broderick didn't like the direction of the new album Dave was writing, and had enough of the band..Broderick's a huge loss to the bandA reunion line-up just isn't going to happen because of the bridges Dave burned with most of the Megadeth alumni, I have a feeling we're close to the end (again) of the band 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 There's no way Friedman will ever be back in the band. I could see Menza and/or Poland coming back. Dave and Chris are on good terms these days, but Dave would have to mend the relationship with Nick if he were to ever consider going back to Megadeth.I'm still pretty shocked about this. I don't think it has anything to do with the new album. They weren't supposed to be in the studio until January/February, so I don't see that as a big factor. I also don't think Lombardo would join as the new drummer. I think he had his fill of egos when he departed from Slayer. I don't think he'd want to go with another major ego in Mustaine. But I could be wrong.I guess we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreblack Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 And his meter can be all over the place sometimes. Too freeform and not steady enough for Dave probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gackt Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Poland, Menza and LoMenzo have left Megadeth behind to do their own thing; I'd never expect Friedman to come back eitherhttp://bravewords.com/news/former-megadeth-members-new-supergroup-to-premiere-audio-samples-december-9th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 You never know, really. Those guys have always had side projects going on. It's just that they're working together now. Who knows what 2015 could bring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bran Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 lombardo has been keeping himself busy with quite a few projects and like zeppelin said i think dave had enough of the stuff in slayer and i doubt he would want to get back into it with mustaine. it is interesting thought that about 3 weeks ago a new project was formed featuring both nick menza and chris poland(also james lomenzo another megadeth alumni) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 You know what? I hope Lombardo joins and they get another guitarist named Dave. Then they'd truly be MegaDave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Even if Poland just recorded with them, I'd be happy. His work on The System Has Failed is awesome. Still the most memorable lead work on a Megadeth album since their hiatus, IMO. That was also the last time Mustaine wanted Menza in the band. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gackt Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Just to add more to speculation, the band is also auctioning off a ton of tour equipment, banners, merch, etc:http://www.backstageauctions.com/catalog/auction.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
