Marty Friedman: Why I REFUSED To Rejoin Megadeth!

Marty Friedman explained why he didn't rejoin Megadeth following the departure of Chris Broderick and Shawn Drover, telling LA Weekly:

"I think anyone that has something as good as 'Rust in Peace' in their history doesn't want to revisit it unless you are going to top it. I didn't see any reason to mess with that.

"I didn't see a reunion being what it could be and what the fans deserved. If I were to revisit that, there would have to be a reason for me to do that beyond, 'Let's go back and do it again.' That's not a good enough reason."

Dave Mustaine previously said about the failed reunion: "Marty had sent some e-mails saying, 'Oh, man, you know, the fans have this self-inflated importance of 'Rust in Peace' beyond what it really is. And I was, like, 'Huh?'

"So I didn't know if that was a backhand to the face of the fans or not, but he had basically said that if we were gonna do anything, it had to be better than 'Rust in Peace'.

"And he sent me over some links to some songs that he thought should be the direction that we were going in, and one of it was this J-Pop band with some Japanese girl singing, and I was, like, 'Uh-uh. This ain't gonna work.' More power to him. Do what you want, Marty. He's a great guitar player. But I'm not gonna sing like a Japanese girl."
