Dave Mustaine Interviewed On Rolling Stone

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ RoadRunner Records) Megadeth leader Dave Mustaine recently sat for an interview with writer Greg Prato; the results are readable now at RollingStone.com.

Mustaine describes the quick recording process for the upcoming album TH1RT3EN, saying, "We only had a little bit of time to do this, and realistically, expecting a band of our nature, stature, our songwriting process, [and] the availability of all the band members - to try to squeeze a record in two months' timeframe, who were we kidding? But we did it. Man, we worked our butts off on that. I had some seriously long days. There were some days that I woke up at my computer, with an imprint on my face from sleeping on the keyboard."

In addition to the title track and "Public Enemy No 1," which Megadeth recently performed live, Mustaine reveals that TH1RT3EN will also contain two songs recorded for video games - "Sudden Death," which appeared in Guitar Hero, and "Never Dead," which was featured in the game of the same name. TH1RT3EN is currently scheduled for a November release, and Megadeth is spending the summer on the Rockstar Mayhem Festival Tour, where they will be signing.
