ROLLING STONE: "DAVE MUSTAINE TALKS NEW RIFFS, OLD DRAMA"

Greg Prato for RollingStone.com recently conducted an interview with Dave Mustaine. Dave on "Endgame": "Making this record, there was a lot of different facets. When I was writing this, I had a lot of material that I had saved over the years, and a lot of stuff that had been really fast, riffy, and exciting, but just not as melodic as where we were during the '90s. I was assembling the songs and thinking about the possibilities of Shawn . When we got in here to start doing a record, I was thinking, "God, these guys have so much potential, what are we going to do?" And I started to really push the envelope, and write songs that were really super aggressive, and had a lot of guitar playing." Read the entire interview
