Former Megadeth drummer Shawn Drover spoke in an interview with Talking Metal and explained why he left Megadeth. He also descriped his thoughts about Dave Mustaine.
Here’s the statement:
“I was very good friends with him for 10 years, and at a certain point, I just wanted to move on and express my own musical vision and do the things I wanted to do before I got too old.
I’m not a spring chicken — I’m 51 years old — so I just started to think if I want to do something, the clock’s ticking here. Oddly enough, Chris was kind of thinking the same thing, so we just made a decision: why don’t we do our own thing?
I let Chris Broderick and Dave Ellefson know that I’d left. I quit first, and Chris pretty much did it almost right away as well, so it was kind of a double whammy.
I let him know what I was wanting to do. I wanted to get right back at it and express my own musical vision, and he was, like, ‘I was thinking about the same thing.’”
