So, guess who’s not on the VIP list for metal’s ultimate retirement bash? Yep, MEGADETH. In a chat with Japan’s BURRN! magazine, bassist James LoMenzo spilled the tea about BLACK SABBATH’s Back to the Beginning farewell show. Turns out, the so-called “Big Four” reunion (METALLICA, SLAYER, ANTHRAX) conveniently forgot to text MEGADETH. Awkward!
“I don’t believe anybody asked us, which was fine. Not everyone gets invited to every party.”
Translation: *shrugs in bass riff*. (Fun fact: LoMenzo’s been in and out of MEGADETH since 2006—maybe they lost his number during one of those hiatuses?)
But wait! Dave Mustaine apparently tried the classic “we’re in the area anyway!” move while touring Europe:
“When we were in Europe last week, David said that he was reaching out to everybody… if they wanted us to, we could stay over a few days and work it out….”
Cue the world’s tiniest violin. Spoiler alert:
“It didn’t get accomplished.”
