“Fans have discovered us at various times throughout our journey there are fans became fans when they heard ‘Risk’, that’s when they go into rock ‘n’ roll and they bought their record, and to them, that is their debut Megadeth record. That’s what fans want to hear because Megadeth has this 30-year career, we have more than just one style in our cache. They were good records because they were really good ‘metal’ records. Dave made three records when I wasn’t in the band, and a couple of them quite good, I might add. He then added: “My personal thought is that the next record will be much different. “We’re aware of the comments, for sure, because they’re on our own web site or our Megadeth Facebook page!” he laughed. In a December 2013 interview with, Ellefson commented on the criticism that was levelled against the band’s last studio effort, 2013’s “Super Collider”. But I’ll always have ideas to submit, certainly.” It just depends on how the recording process goes. So you always try, but you just never know what you’re gonna end up with. It was the first single, the first video and it was nominated for a Grammy Award. Case in point, on the ‘Endgame’ record, I had a song called ‘Head Crusher’, which was a pretty fast, heavy song. We all have so many ideas, not everything is gonna make it. Whether it gets accepted not, it obviously just depends on how it’s going the record. Of course, Megadeth has done so many different kinds of metal over the years, but for me, I’ll always try to represent the more furious side of it, because that’s just part of who I am, it’s part of my creative DNA to try to write heavy riffs. He continued: “For me, I’m always an advocate for the heavy stuff, so that’s usually what I present to the band - something a little more violent, a little more heavy and oftentimes fast stuff. “We definitely branch out to a couple of different areas, stylistically speaking.” Speaking to National Rock Review this past March, Drover was asked if Megadeth will venture into new musical territories on its next studio album. He said at the time: “ some really heavy riffs going on here, and if I say it, you know it’s true.” Megadeth drummer Shawn Drover last month spent a week in the studio with Mustaine “tracking demo ‘ideas'” for the band’s next studio record. Megadeth will perform at the Amnesia Rockfest in Montebello, Canada on Friday, June 20 after recently canceling several dates following the death of Ellefson‘s brother, who passed away in May after battling cancer. These are essentially writing demos at this point, so just grinding out the tunes like a metal band should.” We’re having fun, just throwing it down and keeping it chill. Megadeth bassist David Ellefson posted a couple of photos from the studio last Friday (June 13) and wrote in an accompanying message (see pictures below): “Dave and I are in the studio this week in California working up some of the new riffs. Megadeth is continuing work on material for the band’s next album, tentatively due in 2015.
