9.2.2008 - New Metal?

Dave's influence has been huge from the beginning on inventing and defining metal, but today its split up into many more sub genres. One thing that most will aggree that has made Megadeth so respected, is that after 20+ years you have yet to change your sound. Are there (m)any bands that are big today that you like, that you've played with on tour, would like to play with, or just are enjoying their brand of music? Whats your opinion on bands like Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet for my Valentine, or Slipknot for example?
Thanks, Megadeth Forever!!

Hi Codo! Scorpion asked Dave's opinion on the bands you brought up and here is what he had to say...

"I love AC/DC, I love Iron Maiden. There's a lot of bands I'd love to play with. Especially Led Zeppelin if they do a reunion with Jason playing in John's stead.

I like Avenged, I'm not too familiar with Bullet for my Valentine."
