In a new interview with Tulsa Music Stream, MEGADETH guitarist Kiko Loureiro I was asked how it was to play with the bassist James LoMenzo who joined the group last year. He replied (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): " It's incredible. It's awesome. James is such a great guy. [He has] a lot of stories. He's an experienced guy, fun to hang [out with], a great player — one hundred percent. I don't hear any false notes. A great atmosphere on stage. And then behind the scenes too. He has played with so many great musicians and bands. So yeah, just listening to his stories is amazing. And then he [gets] good with David [mustaine, MEGADETH leader] too, so that's a good thing. Yeah, so far so good. »
Lo Menzo joined MEGADETH in 2006 and appeared on two of the band's studio albums, 2007 "United Abominations" and 2009 " End of Game ". He was let go from the group in 2010 and replaced by the returning original MEGADETH bass player David Ellefson.

MEGADETH" , he said. “It was when we first tried it. And for some reason, things happened, things happened and we took a bit of a sabbatical not to play [together]. »
