Final month, ex-Megadeth bassist David Ellefson mentioned he wasn’t “throwing rocks” at his former band by engaged on tasks like Kings of Thrash. It was a noble stance to take, however his fellow Megadeth alum Jeff Younger apparently didn’t get the memo, as he completely tried to bury the whole lot Dave Mustaine’s band has put out lately.

Throughout an interview with Metallic Edge, the guitarist sought to present Kings of Thrash a little bit of a lift within the press by making the declare that the band’s debut album was going to eclipse trendy Megadeth. And in his thoughts, that terrifies Mustaine.

“Let me put it this manner: What’s taking place now’s a win for all of us — Dave [Mustaine] included. He will get to make cash off the publishing from the Megadeth songs we play. Dave is aware of that, so he’s very conscious of us.

“He hates what Kings Of Thrash is doing. Nevertheless it doesn’t matter as a result of, finally, we’ll delete a whole lot of the Megadeth from our set, and we’ll maintain writing new stuff. However Dave is feeling the warmth as a result of we’re getting consideration, and the Kings Of Thrash album might be higher than something Megadeth has accomplished not too long ago. And we’re enjoying all of the Megadeth songs higher than he has in years. It’s not simply me saying that — learn the critiques.”

Now, we’re not going to sugar coat issues relating to Megadeth’s newest albums. From Supercollider and 13 to Dystopia and The Sick, The Dying… and the Useless, the band’s previous couple of albums have ranged from middling with a shrug to downright horrible. It’s been a looooong time because the days of Countdown to Extinction and Rust In Peace, that’s for certain.

As for Kings of Thrash’s debut album, we’ve solely heard a bit little bit of it to date, so we are able to’t actually decide Younger’s assertion. Wouldn’t it be cool in the event that they put out an all-time thrash metallic document? Hell yeah. Wouldn’t it be higher than Megadeth’s stuff? Solely time will inform.
