In an EXCLUSIVE interview with BW&BK today (July 16th), MEGADETH frontman Dave Mustaine has revealed that he has been in talks with ANNIHILATOR guitar legend Jeff Waters about him possibly joining the ranks of the newly rejuvenated thrash legends.
"Ive been talking to one of your countrymen about playing with me and it looks pretty good," Mustaine revealed about his recent communication with Waters. "Weve been talking quite a lot and my only fear is that hes so good and hes a leader of his own thing and this is an institution
here, its a worldwide thing and, you know. Ive already had some struggles with bringing in a hired gun that was a leader of another situation with Alan (Pitrelli). Alans a good guy, good player. I dont think that he really could take going from being a leader in SAVATAGE and TSO
(TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA) to being, you know, second, or actually fourth, in Megadeth. I dont think he could handle it. Thats my only fear about working with Jeff is that hes a leader of his own thing. But, were talkin and were talkin and Im passionate about what I want to do and it may very well happen. Weve obviously started a friendship and Ive known of him for years. It may just be that this is a combination that will put him on the map and give me some stability because I have a lot of friends that are Canadian and every one of them is just fucking righteous."
That would be awesome if Jeff gets the gig...
