MEGADETH – Releases New Single “I Don’t Care”
Posted in Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags dave mustaine, megadeth, Metal, metal music, Metal News, metal odyssey, thrash, Thrash Metal on November 16, 2025 by Metal Odyssey
From MEGADETH newsletter:
Dave Mustaine shares some insight into the new track.
“How many times have you wanted to say this to someone? I know you want to! Deep down inside, if we had the balls, we would tell more people, ‘I don’t care’ more often.”
“Part of the main riff in this track had been floating around in my head since we did TSTD&TD, so I was pumped to start recording ‘I Don’t Care’ for this LP. I really love the guitar nuances in the track. There is the main rhythm riff, next, a very deliberate down-picking part, next, the octave chords with jump picking on octave notes (while still
down-picking!). And the soloing and back and forth between me and Teemu is magnificent!!”

The album includes “Tipping Point,” the previously released first single, and a very special bonus track: a reimagined version of “Ride the Lightning,” which MUSTAINE co-wrote with Metallica’s James Hetfield, Cliff Burton, and Lars Ulrich and was the title track from the group’s 1984 album.
“As I come full circle on the career of a lifetime, the decision to include ‘Ride the Lightning,’ a song I co-wrote with James, Lars, and Cliff, was to pay my respects to where my career first started,” MUSTAINE says.
The album’s full track listing is as follows:
Tipping Point
I Don’t Care
Hey, God?!
Let There Be Shred
Puppet Parade
Another Bad Day
Made to Kill

From MEGADETH newsletter:
“There’s so many musicians that have come to the end of their career, whether accidental or intentional. Most of them don’t get to go out on their own terms on top, and that’s where I’m at in my life right now. I have traveled the world and have made millions upon millions of fans and the hardest part of all of this is saying goodbye to them.
We can’t wait for you to hear this album and see us on tour. If there was ever a perfect time for us to put out a new album, it’s now. If there was ever a perfect time to tour the world, it’s now. This is also a perfect time for us to tell you that it’s our last studio album. We’ve made a lot of friends over the years and I hope to see all of you on our global farewell tour. Don’t be mad, don’t be sad, be happy for us all, come celebrate with me these next few years. We have done something together that’s truly wonderful and will probably never happen again. We started a musical style, we started a revolution, we changed the guitar world and how it’s played, and we changed the world. The bands I played in have influenced the world. I love you all for it. Thank you for everything.”

Nick Menza – Rest In Peace – Legendary Drummer
Posted in Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Metal, Music, news, rock music with tags megadeth, metal drummers, nick menza, ohm, rock drummers on May 22, 2016 by Metal OdysseyAs reported on the J Marshall Craig Facebook:
For friends & fans: Nick Menza was in musician heaven last month when I took him to Rose Lane Studio a few weeks back to meet Sjoerd Auke Koppert and Damion ‘Damizza’ Young and the team there. There were many plans in the works, for the release of Nick’s book that we wrote, a comic book version of his time with Megadeth and many, many other wonderful things, including a trip to stay with me and my family here in Cape Cod tomorrow. He died last night on stage in L.A. doing what he loved.
I have been asked by his family to be their public representative though this tragic and difficult time, so will be fielding all press inquiries. His mother Rose and father Don ask for privacy and prayers for them, and Nick’s two young boys. News of a service, remembrance and celebration of Nick’s life and music will be announced in the days to come.

MEGADETH – New Studio Album “Dystopia” Releases On January 22nd, 2016
Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, Music, rock music with tags Heavy Metal, megadeth, Metal, Metal News, metal odyssey, Thrash Metal on October 3, 2015 by Metal Odyssey
The magnificent MEGADETH will be releasing their fifteenth studio album, Dystopia, on January 22nd, 2016. What a grand Metal way to start off the new year of 2016, with new MEGADETH!
How about the album cover art for Dystopia? I’m digging it. Looks like Vic Rattlehead is some kind of cyborg security officer or bounty hunter, in a futuristic and devastated city? That destroyed bridge on the album cover carries some social symbolism; a bridge to nowhere, maybe? I am looking forward to getting this CD and… Metal Be Thy Name.

Along with co-founding members Dave Mustaine and David Ellefson: LAMB OF GOD drummer Chris Adler is featured on this entire Dystopia release, along with Brazilian guitarist Kiko Loureiro of ANGRA fame.

DID YOU KNOW: The definition of Dystopia is: an imaginative or real society where everything is horrible and immoral, while the environment is forever deteriorating. This is also a society that is ruled by a totalitarian government.
