Megadeth's Mustaine Rules Out Menza and Friedman Return

(Classic Rock) Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine says bringing back ex-members Marty Friedman and Nick Menza would be like "putting a rotten tooth back in your mouth."

He admits he still receives requests to have the fired pair rejoin the band - but insists there's no chance of it ever happening. Drummer Menza was behind the kit between 1989 and 1998 while guitarist Friedman spent a decade with Mustaine from 1990. Both first appeared on fourth studio album Rust In Peace while Menza departed after Cryptic Writings and Friedman was gone following eighth outing Risk.

Asked whether fans still demand their return, Mustaine tells Loaded Radio: "Yeah - but that makes as much sense as somebody saying, 'Put a rotten tooth back in your mouth.' I've seen stuff that Menza's been saying and it's unfortunate. I know Marty's happy doing what he's doing.

"If I wanted to get them back I would have worked it out - but I don't." more on this story
