Dave Mustaine has newly responded to fan comments on the Megadeth &#8220;forum&#8221;, and he&#8217;s stated that Endgame might be the legendary thrash act&#8217;s final album. He noted that if folding the band has to happen, he&#8217;ll accept it in the spirit of becoming a better person afterwards.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nHe says: &#8220;The president of Roadrunner came out and said this was the last record but if we didn&#8217;t re-sign with them for more records they were going to stop selling Endgame.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve always known there&#8217;s another record owed. I&#8217;m a man of my word and I&#8217;m going to fulfill my contract &#8211; rest assured, though, that I&#8217;m not going to release a compilation record or a live record for my final record with Roadrunner.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nI really wish Endgame was handled differently. I can tell you that while it&#8217;s destroying our tenure with Roadrunner, I&#8217;m not going to let this bother me any more. I&#8217;m completely prepared to work, so we&#8217;ll see where it goes now.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nI hate talking about this because it&#8217;s not fair to the other guys in the band when it suggests no job security.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nBut I also face physical problems. If my neck or spine say, &#8216;You&#8217;re done, Dave&#8217;, then I&#8217;m done. I love my relationship with a lot of the people I&#8217;m working with. I know it seems selfish sometimes to say I&#8217;m going to stop. But if the body or the hands say that&#8217;s it, well, that&#8217;s it.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nIf I&#8217;m meant to suffer another blow to my ego, my pride, my legacy and so on, in order to be a better person and closer to God &#8211; then I will soldier on and complete my time with grace and honour.&#8221;<br \/>\n<br \/>\nGoing into detail, Mustaine criticises Roadrunner&#8217;s attitude to single releases, radio play and publicity: &#8220;We have no radio presence. My own hometown plays nothing from Megadeth &#8211; but they sure do play my last band [Metallica] every hour.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nAll I&#8217;ve been able to do in the past was have a number-one single, five top five singles, many top ten, dozens of top 40&#8230; yet we can&#8217;t get anything played from this new record. I would say the radio person at Roadrunner has a very different approach to radio than I do.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThis year we&#8217;ve given away two songs and we&#8217;re already on the third. I had to actually call up the guy and ask him for interviews, to which he said, &#8216;I didn&#8217;t know you wanted to do interviews.'&#8221;<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.megadeth.com\/home.php\">http:\/\/www.megadeth.com\/<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you ready for this shocker, Den Headz?
