Megadeth's Mustaine Intimidated By New Guitarist, Has Writer's Block

07/22/2015
. (Classic Rock) Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine says Kiko Loureiro is the first guitarist since Marty Friedman that has left him feeling "intimidated" in the studio. And he says bringing the Brazilian axeman into the fold to replace Chris Broderick is paying off as they continue work on the as-yet-untitled follow-up to 2013's Super Collider.

He tells Revolver: "Finding Kiko was really a mind-blower. It was the first time since Marty Friedman joined the band that I was really intimidated as a player. He's such an amazing talent, and he's been coming in with all of these fresh ideas."

Mustaine previously revealed a handful of titles from the new album but admits he's been struggling to finish some of the songs. He continues: "I'm having a little bit of writer's block with the lyrics. I've got lyrics to nine of the songs written but the music's so good that I'll write something and go, 'Well, that doesn't live up to the music.'" Read more here.
