Dave Mustaine Won't Talk About New Metallica

(Metal Hammer) Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine says he's listened to new Metallica track Hardwired - but he won't discuss it. And he reports that he's bored of touring with fellow thrash icons Slayer and Anthrax, adding that he doesn't want to do it again unless Metallica are on the bill too.

The vocalist and guitarist settled his differences with James Hetfield and co in 2009 when the Big 4 first performed together, decades after he'd been fired from Metallica and gone on to form his own band.

Mustaine tells WRIF: "I think that Anthrax and Slayer, the three of us have played so much over the years that, for me, it's boring now. Not taking anything away from any of the bands, because I love Slayer and Anthrax - but I think that if we were going to do something again, it should either be the four of us, or give it a rest for a little while."

Asked about Hardwired, the lead track from Metallica's 10th album Hardwired� To Self-Destruct, he confirms he'd heard it but adds: "I'm not going to say anything." Read more here.
