“You know, I liked them [Metallica]. If the friendship was restarted, it wouldn’t bother me. I would accept, and I think it would be nice to revisit some of those times. But I just think because there was a lot of hurt and misunderstanding around our time together that it would be difficult not to keep bringing up the past. I think what needs to happen is there needs to be a Megadeth/Me­tallica tour. Period. That would, I’m sure, make everything right. We could hang out. Spend time together. But I know they don’t really tour like we do. I mean, when we go out on tour, we play many, many shows.” (Revolver)

“In a new interview with gaming magazine The Escapist, the co-founder and percussionist for nu metal’s nine-man wrecking crew calls AI “a professor in my pocket who only wants to do what I ask it”. “I’m employing AI 190 percent,” he states. “I’ve been using AI my whole life,” viewing it as the latest in the series of tools which have been set up to help musicians over the years. He then claims to have “thousands and thousands” of poems that he’s written since he was young, adding that, through AI, he can transform them into something else without compromising his vision.” (Louder Sound)
