In a recent interview with Machine Music, Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine clarified drummer Chris Adler’s position in the band – or rather not in the band. This is following Adler’s work on the latest Megadeth LP “Dystopia”. Here’s the quote:
If you’re in the presence of greatness, it’s shameful not to allow that to be great. But let me back up though: Chris Adler is not in Megadeth, he’s in Lamb of God. He was a session guy, he was what you could call work for hire. And he has nothing to do with us anymore, and he is with his band. I am very grateful for his contributions, I’m grateful for him introducing us to Dirk. We still haven’t announced who our new drummer is going to be, it won’t be Chris Adler, because he’s in Lamb of God.
As far as having new guys in the band, as you grow up you have a choice either to learn from your mistakes or you’re destined to repeat them. And a lot of the things that I do, because of the nature of who I am, every move that I make is chronicled. There are a couple of websites in particular that would go under if it wasn’t for me, because they survive off of posting every breath I take.
