Megadeth is about to release their greatest hits collection, “Warheads On Foreheads.” But before that drops on March 22nd, Dave Mustaine has sat down with Full Metal Jackie to talk about the anthology.
The rocker says that through digging through their catalog to put together the 35-track collection, he’s realized that over time he focused more on “melody” than “the aggression of the music.” “As I started to learn a little more about melody, I tried to incorporate that into our songs,” he explains. “There’s a lot of things I’ve learned from some great producers working with all the guys I’ve done over my career.”
According to Mustaine, the evolution of Megadeth’s sound, and particularly his own guitar playing, is also clear on their upcoming studio album. “The music is constantly developing and where sometimes a song will be really fast and heavy, I’ve really noticed a tone with these songs where it’s more storytelling, where there are twists and turns and abrupt tempo shifts and so on,” he notes.
