This, from a Blabbermouth post:
Mustaine said that some of the fire in his belly returned after a particularly vital conversation with an old friend back on the 2005 Gigantour.
"Frank Bello [bass] from ANTHRAX sat me down one night after a show and said, 'Dave, I really like MEGADETH, but we really need you to get pissed off again. MEGADETH is important music and the best stuff you ever wrote was when you were pissed off.'
"The thing is, as I said to Frank, I'm not an angry person anymore! But then I figured that there was a lot of things in the world to be angry about as well that had to be spoken out against. In my personal life, I stopped fighting and started to seek reconciliation where I could."
This is very cool of Frank - a lot of people in the industry would love to say that to Dave but not have the balls to do it.
