Could be true. Skolnick just announded his new trio album and tour. Supposedly, Megadeth is also in the writing stages of a new album due next year.
I always thought of MA more of like a collabration between metal peeps and not an official band.
Me as well. To be honest, I haven't been overly impressed with MA, and not sure why they did albums. I mean, as a live act once in a blue moon, sure. But as a recording entity? Pass...
To those that know MP the best, do you ever think the guy will ever settle down, musically? I mean, he was with DT for so long, and did side projects. Now these side projects are his day job. And lets be frank -- none of them will ever be successful the way DT was. Will he ever change his tune, and perhaps join a band that is respected if he is given enough control in that band to make it his "home?"
Or will he continue to be a nomad until the end?
I had high hopes for the Sons of Apollo band. And thought the live show was exciting. But I don't think the tour actually sold as many tickets as the members of the audience would indicate, and the record did nothing. I have to believe that Mike wants back on a bigger stage at some point...
Anyway, just mid-week ramblings pointed at Setlist Scotty, or any person who is more familiar with Mike than I am (which is not much, other than just following his career).
