You want to know what really happened? Dave stopped drugs. Like it or not, DRUGS CREATES AWESOME music. Now I'm not gonna tell you to go start doing heroin, but you dig what I'm saying I suppose.
All these hired guys do is solos, they have little or nothing to do with the writing process. At this point, I think all Dave cares about is crunching out 1 album per year to increase his net worth.
What he really needs to do is let someone else help him with the writing process. The riffs on all the albums since RIP are absolutely lame.
Since it was the killer riffs that got me into Megadeth / Thrash, I tapped out a long time ago. I still love Dave and he's a very unique character but I think making money / having a family is his primary concern now and that's not a bad thing I guess. But super collider? The song sucks, the concept is absurd and I just sit and wonder WTF happened to the Megadeth I use to love.

I want a Megadeath album produced by Rick Rubin.![]()
As long as it's not produced by Sneap or a Sneap clone I'll give it a listen. I know that kind of production has fans here but I really don't like it.

I just want to see the video of Mustaine and Rubin in the same room, discussing the "process"... the DVD can be called "There Will Be Blood"![]()

Rick Rubin actually produced the most underrated AC/DC album ever with Ballbreaker. That record sounds great too.
Kiko is probably the closest thing to a Friedman or Poland (in terms of creativity) that Mustaine could have hired, and it helps that he can play circles around 90% of metal guitarists around. He also plays quite well in a variety of non-rock/metal genres, so he has a lot to bring to the table as long as he's not put in the Mustaine vise grip.
That's pretty much Chris Broderick in a nutshell and we all know how that turned out.![]()

Yeah I know what you're saying about Broderick. I think the difference here is that Kiko has already carved his own mark with metal so to speak, his work with angra is very unique and memorable IMO. The application of his music knowledge in metal is very interesting, and he has a lot of followers alone based off of his mix of style and prowess.. Broderick is definitely knowledgeable as well, but his work before megadeth (and during his stay in megadeth) never really stood out to me outside of its technicality.. I felt like he never established a style to bring to the table really.
