In a recent interview with Revolver magazine, Mustaine said that a tour with Metallica “needs to happen” before his group reaches the end of its farewell tour.

(He pauses, and smiles) But no, this is about showing respect. No (They didn't say anything yet about my version). And I don’t expect to. But I’m sure at some point we’ll hear what they think." "You know, I liked them. 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," Dave Mustaine said. Mustaine previously said that although “Megadeth” (2026) will be their final studio album, they will probably also release a final live album. He recently said that the farewell tour might last a couple of years. In a recent interview with Mariskal Rock TV, Mustaine revealed he has a hand condition called “Dupuytren’s contracture”. “It’s gonna make my finger come down like this. It’s already started, where it’s kind of bunching up a little bit. And then if you look at the tips of my fingers, they’re severely arthritic. So all those bumps makes it really painful to play.” Their final tour will last a couple of years He noted that he will undergo surgery after the farewell tour ends. “If I wait until my hands are causing a problem and I try it and it doesn’t work, well then I’ve toured everywhere, I’ve said farewell everybody and am not leaving stuff unsaid or unfinished.” The band is currently formed by Mustaine, Dirk Verbeuren (Drums), James LoMenzo (Bass) and Teemu Mäntysaari (Guitar). Megadeth is the second band of the Big 4 of Thrash Metal to do a farewell tour, since Slayer was the first in 2019, although the band reunited and is playing in festivals around the world right now.The post Megadeth releases “Ride the Lightning” version and Mustaine asks for a tour with Metallica appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.

The Genesis singer and drummer Phil Collins (74) retired from touring as a solo artist and with the Progressive Rock since he has been battling ongoing more serious health issues for a few years. He had to perform sitting down during his past tours and his son Nic Collins took care of the drums. In a recent interview with BBC 2's Zoe Ball, he gave a health update. The musician revealed that he has a 24-hour live-in nurse to make sure he takes his medication properly. However, he said that he is feeling much better these days and that his health has improved. Phil Collins shares health update “It's an ongoing thing. I have a 24-hour live-in nurse to make sure I take my medication, as I should do. I've had challenges with my knee. Everything that could go wrong with me did go wrong with me. I got COVID in hospital. My kidneys started to back up. Everything seemed to converge at the same time. I had five operations on my knee. Now, I've got a knee that works, and I can walk, albeit with assistance, crutches or whatever.” He continued talking about his kidney issues: “I wasn't one of those guys that stayed up all night drinking, I'd drink during the day, but I guess I had too much of it. I was never drunk, although I fell over a couple of times. But it is just one of those things that happened, and it all caught up with me, and I spent months in hospital. It's just been a difficult, interesting, frustrating last few years. It's all right now,” Phil Collins said. His final solo show took place on October 19, 2019, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. A couple of years later, on March 26, 2022, he performed his final show with Genesis alongside Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford. Collins is one of the few artists who have sold more than 100 million records both as a solo artist and as part of a band. The other two artists on that list are Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Me5WuLCTGs&pp=2AYDThe post Phil Collins shares health update appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.

David Gilmour was a crucial element of Pink Floyd’s sound and the band’s career would not have been the same without his incredible guitar playing. With the success of albums such as "Dark Side of the Moon" (1973), "Wish You Were Here" (1975) and "The Wall" (1979), he became one of the most influential guitar heroes of his generation, which included many other remarkable musicians. One of them was the late legendary American artist Prince, who is often overlooked as a guitarist but certainly not by his peers, including David Gilmour, who has already shared his opinion on him. What is David Gilmour's opinion on Prince David Gilmour is a big fan of Prince and said he was “bloody great” live in concert. He believed that the late musician was one of the few people in the music business who surrounded himself with competent collaborators who shared his passion for putting on the best concert possible, and that he was someone who thought about every detail. He said this when comparing a Michael Jackson show with a Prince concert he had seen within a short period of time. "I saw Michael Jackson in an indoor arena in America, and it wasn't great. When I see something like that, I think, My God, put 'me' in charge for a week and I'll turn this into something 'good'! There's no doubt in my mind that I could have turned something like the Michael Jackson show from a pretty average to pretty damned good, given a few days and bucks." David Gilmour continued: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0BxzsEPJqE "There are corners that can be cut and corners that can't - just a million little details that one could look at. But I went to see Prince at Wembley and he was bloody good. He definitely does things from the right attitude; I think he goes out of his way to get the best people to do the best job, and he thinks about every detail. He gets people around him who share his belief that it will come right if you get it right, which is our attitude," David Gilmour said in an interview with Q magazine in 1990. Like many of his peers, including Eric Clapton, Gilmour had a deep respect for Prince’s music. In 1992, he took part in the Tom Jones TV special "The Right Time", which aired around June that year. Gilmour was one of several special guests on the show, during which the Welsh singer covered many songs, including “Purple Rain.” The Pink Floyd frontman (at the time) played guitar on that performance, which became one of the most famous covers of a Prince song. Fans highly praised his tone and playing, noting how he put his soul into the beautiful guitar parts originally performed by Prince. David Gilmour combined "Comfortably Numb" and "Purple Rain" solo in Prince's honor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcDHXoQmxu0&pp=ygUZZGF2aWQgZ2lsbW91ciBwdXJwbGUgcmFpbg%3D%3D 24 years after covering “Purple Rain” alongside Tom Jones, David Gilmour paid tribute to Prince during one of his solo shows. The American musician passed away in 2016 at the age of 57 and during a show at Royal Albert Hall in London, Gilmour combined the “Comfortably Numb” solo with the one from “Purple Rain,” which thrilled the audience. It was his final tribute to Prince. Curiously, many fans have long noted that they hear elements of David Gilmour’s guitar style in Prince’s music, particularly in the solo of “Purple Rain.” The American musician, born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1958, was 12 years younger than Gilmour and began his career in 1975. By that time, Pink Floyd was already one of the biggest bands in the world and had released Wish You Were Here, the follow-up to the groundbreaking The Dark Side of the Moon (1973). Although Prince had a shorter career, he was far more prolific than Gilmour and Pink Floyd combined, having released 39 studio albums, while Gilmour was part of 19 studio records (14 with Pink Floyd and 5 solo). When it comes to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Pink Floyd was inducted in 1996, while Prince was honored eight years later, in 2004. Like the British band, he is also one of the best-selling artists of all time, with an estimated 100 million records sold worldwide, which is about 150 million fewer than Pink Floyd.The post David Gilmour’s opinion on Prince appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.
