Megadeth is currently promoting their self-titled final album, released in January, and Dave Mustaine has revealed that he does not rule out making a solo record after the band comes to an end. He has also said that the farewell tour will probably last a couple of years and will most likely result in a final live album. But meanwhile, the musician said that he is only focused on promoting their latest album during this final tour.
Dave Mustaine says he could do a solo album after Megadeth ends
“I might. I don’t think so. I might. I might. Right now, things are going so great for us, we’re not even really thinking about the end. We’re thinking about the beginning of this, this campaign, and heading out and, and showing this music to our fans. And we’ve been looking at the tours that we’ve got on our schedule, and everything’s doing really well ticket-wise. Dates are selling out way in advance, and that’s good for us too because in many of the places that we booked, we’ve had to go to a different configuration.”
“Some places will be set up for, say, for example, 7,000 seats and they’ve got some seats up in the top that they’ve blocked off. And a band comes in and they keep selling tickets, they’ll open up those areas. ‘Cause a lot of times they don’t open those areas up because it looks bad for bands that don’t sell out the venue. And we’ve had a lot of concerts already that has — it’s gone to a bigger-size venue,” Dave Mustaine said in an interview with Teraz Rock (Transcribed by Blabbermouth).
The band is currently formed by Mustaine, Dirk Verbeuren (Drums), James LoMenzo (Bass) and Teemu Mäntysaari (Guitar). Megadeth is the second band of the Big 4 of Thrash Metal to do a farewell tour, since Slayer was the first in 2019, although the band reunited and is playing in festivals around the world right now.
