(Rock Radio) Megadeth recently released Endgame, their strongest album in years. But it's not just the album title - in interview after interview mainman Dave Mustaine has made vague comments that suggest he's thinking about a future without the band he's led since its inception.Rock Radio has pointed it out before, but this time Mustaine's gone further than before. It's a matter of record he's been unhappy with the US part of his label, Roadrunner Records, for some time. It's also a matter of record he's suffered hand and spine problems in recent years, which at one point threatened to end his playing career.
Now, responding to fan comments on the Megadeth forum, he's stated that Endgame might be their last album, and that if folding the band has to happen, he'll accept it in the spirit of becoming a better person afterwards. He says: "The president of Roadrunner came out and said this was the last record but if we didn't re-sign with them for more records they were going to stop selling Endgame. I've always known there's another record owed. I'm a man of my word and I'm going to fulfill my contract - rest assured, though, that I'm not going to release a compilation record or a live record for my final record with Roadrunner."
[Maybe Dave should have listened to all of the former Roadrunner band's who complained about the label's F'd up PR dept. before his signed on the dotted line. Sounds like the BS comes straight from the top.]
