As the self-titled album, aka The Black Album, celebrates its 25th anniversary, Newsted tells Billboard: "It was the bass, by itself, introducing My Friend Of Misery, which was not the easiest thing to do at that time within that band.
"That was a moment where those guys kind of bowed and said, 'Here you go, man, put your song on there,' being the guy who came up with that. As opposed to being part of the team, I got to be myself for a minute there, which was a real accomplishment." Read more here.
When asked if different guitar players affect his own style, Mustaine tells Interactive Guitar Magazine: "There's not really that much of a difference when you're playing with guitar players, but there is something that's of a personal nature."
He adds: "I feel that the couple of months I've been with Kiko, we have become very close friends. And there was a weirdness with Marty that - and my bassist David Ellefson will concur - we could not cross that barrier, that he would just not let people in.
"Poland and I had a very turbulent time, and Jeff Young and I never really got that close either. With Kiko, we have so much fun goofing around and doing silly stuff all the time.
"I think that's important, because when you leave home and you're gone for this long, and you're with a guy that you barely know, it can be really bad." Read more here.
"I believe in this company, its passionate fans, the talented roster and the dedicated staff and crew," Corgan said in a statement. "I am committed to this great opportunity and will use all of my resources and connections to drive the success of this company.

But Farro has now "restored" his friendships with guitarist Taylor York and William, and recently confirmed he was working with them on the follow-up to Paramore's self-titled full-length.
He tells Billboard's podcast Alt In Our Stars: "It's a second chance. I'm so thankful that I'm playing on the album. But that wasn't what was important to me at the beginning. What was important was mending those friendships.
"I'm not super proud of how everything went down, but Hayley and Taylor have become really good friends of mine again and they're super supportive of my stuff. We restored our friendships. We haven't skipped a beat and it's been so amazing." Read more here.
Bruce tells Rocksound: "My most destructive one was when we were in Argentina and we took out Chelsea Grin and Blessthefall. We had the whole floor of the hotel and we just decided, 'F*** it, it's our floor', and we were smoking, drinking, partying. We were there for days.
"By the end of it everything was smashed up. I went into Chelsea Grin's room and decided to throw their flat screen TV across the room and smashed it. I had a great time.
"Woke up the next day and went downstairs to the reception and they went, 'You've destroyed our hotel.' Our tour manager went, 'Don't worry, here's the credit card,' standard. They said, 'No, we don't want your money. We want punishment.'"
Bruce says the manager denied the staff's request and the group quickly left to catch their flight home - but they realized something was amiss when the plane wasn't taking off. Read more here.
The song deals with the Holocaust, while their 2005 debut album Primo Victoria includes the word 'Nazi' in the lyrics, leading to a ban for the record in Germany.
Frontman Joakim Broden tells Metal Hammer: "Nobody would ask Stephen Spielberg if he was a Nazi because he made a movie about the Holocaust. It's storytelling. If someone has a problem with what we sing about, they should talk to the leaders who made this sh*t happen many years ago."
And on the furore surrounding Primo Victoria, Par Sundstrom adds: "It's totally understandable that you can misunderstand Sabaton if you hear a bit of a song and don't know where it comes from.
"It was harder in the beginning. Our first album was denied release in Germany because it contained the word 'Nazi'. They thought it was neo-Nazi propaganda." Read more here.

VFTF came to the attention of John Mitchell when they booked in to his Outhouse Recording Studio in 2015 to record their debut album Odyssey: The Destroyer Of Worlds. Mitchell contributed a guest guitar slot to the track A Principle God.
When bass player Gorham later spotted an article in Prog magazine about the launch of Mitchell and Hillman's label, he asked them to consider signing the band. Read more here.
