Dave Lombardo Rules Out Joining Megadeth
. (Classic Rock) Former Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo isn't interested in working with Megadeth because he's tired of playing the role of "hired gun." And he's recalled one of the reasons he didn't wind up with Dave Mustaine's outfit in 1986. Lombardo, who split with Slayer in 2013, is one of the people who's been connected with the vacant Megadeth role - although he's previously said no discussions have taken place. He tells Metal Ireland: "I've been getting phone calls like, 'Are you going to join this band?' No. I refuse to be someone's employee. I want to work on something I'm a part of, not just a guy that receives a pay check. "I want to be part of the artist development. An artist, not just a hired gun. I've had enough of that - I need freedom." He adds: "Megadeth has its own style. I'm really busy with my own music." Lombardo discounts an old rumor that he'd been approached about replacing Lars Ulrich in Metallica during the 1980s. See what he said here.
