Well shit...Shawn Drover and Chris Broderick just left Megadeth. With the new album going into production in January and both basically doing it in the same day and Broderick's message talking about creative differences, my guess is that neither one was getting much input into the next album and decided to leave.
Super disappointing to see another lineup change in a band that has had many of them. Mustaine has always been the driving force of the band, that's not surprising, but I'm curious after Super Collider, if they wanted to see more metal or even just more thrash brought back into the music and Mustaine isn't wanting that, wanting to continue what Super Collider did or even further in the direction. That would really suck for me personally if that is what happened. Super Collider was a big disappoint in terms of writing, with way too much rock and rather slow stuff going on. It was feeling more of like what Cryptic Writings was before they dove into Risk, which is a terrible Megadeth album. I was actually getting excited for the album because I heard Mustaine was sorta saying this would be a "shut up" kind of album to sorta appease the metalheads, but maybe it won't be that...Perhaps they left cause they just weren't getting any input at all, even with things going in the metal direction.
Anyways, here's one of the few songs of the past three albums that features the other band members in the writing credits, this one in particular being a big push for Drover, even from Mustaine when it was put out and I believe got them the Grammy Nomination for that year.
