Rolling Stone reports that the rockers stuck to their hits, debuting one new song, the upcoming single "Overcome" from their impending new record Full Circle.

I don't know how I'm supposed to wait until next year to put out this record! It is so ----ing cool & I am so anxious to get it out already. We start mixing soon and that will be that, ready to go. But, I have to wait, there's no way around it, for all kinds of logistic reasons and that's the reality.

Last week Mustaine told RollingStone.com that James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett planned to replace Ulrich at the end of the tour during which bassist Cliff Burton died.

No further specifics concerning the matter have been released. Ticket holders are asked to hold their tickets, pending further details of the concerts' rescheduling.

AC/DC was almost an hour into their set, and thousands of fans were still outside the Magnetic Hill outdoor concert site in a huge line trying to buy tickets.

Mitch Lyon "Barry introduced me to a riff he was working. We sat down and wrote the first verse and chorus right then. We then recorded what we had. This was before any of the other guys had even heard the song. It seemed to come together really quickly and felt really fresh to us."

Barry Johnston "When the initial idea for the song struck it sort of took over and wrote itself. We wanted to do something pretty stripped down and to the point. The first drafts of the song were pretty true to what ended up being on the record. We did change the intro and outro guitar parts quite a bit from the demos. Those parts didn't really take shape until we entered the studio. We just needed a time to figure out the little nuances. The bridge was actually written with James Alex Snyder from the band Cordova�also formerly of Weston. We asked him to do a cameo�recording schedules conflicted so we had to cut the vocals for the bridge ourselves. All in all we were really in a good place in the writing process when we finished this one. I think it shows"

Mitch Lyon "Killing Pill, to me, is not necessarily about the habits of recreational users. For me, it's about the rush of whatever gets you there. It's a sadness, a letdown, for whatever is kicking you. It's about an escapist's reality and how escaping does not work forever."

Barry Johnston "I think this song could mean different things to different people. We all have difficulties and how we deal with those difficulties ultimately speaks volumes about who you are at the core. I'm more interested and more drawn to real people that make mistakes. Squeaky clean people are a little unnerving to me for some reason. All of the glitz and glamour that some people surround themselves with isn't reality. We wanted to try and to encompass some of that idea in the song."
