Dave Mustaine, Megadeth, has issued the following announcement:
"After two successful years, I have decided to leave ESP guitars. This was a business decision and had nothing to do with the guitars or the manufacturing of the guitars, and I wish the staff of ESP , both in the USA and in Japan and Korea the very best of health and prosperity. Meanwhile, I am taking my Classic Metal V, known formerly as a Jackson King V1 or an ESP DV8, and my new guitar design presently known as an Axxion, which was the recipient of the Gold Award from Guitar World magazine for 2005 for new guitar designs, with me. I will also be re-introducing through my new endorsement many special models, including re-issues of my old models from over the span of my career, as well as some retro V shapes, similar to the formerly known Jackson Y2KV or a Gibson Flying V.
"I will make my announcement and be attending the 2007 NAMM show to meet MEGADETH fans and all metal fans, musicians of all styles — especially guitarists, and MEGADETH will be performing a private invitation-only party for only 300 guests and 300 vendors and music industry people."
Said MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine about the track: "This was a mix made by Andy Sneap to apply for the job as mixer on this record and I was so impressed I wanted him to help me finish up the last parts as well as cutting two new songs we hadn't planned on releasing. [It was] a great start to one of my favorite records to have ever made so far. If the process of writing and tracking, and the energy we felt in the studios is any indication, then this is just the beginning of the rebuilding of the perfect beast!"
"United Abominations" will include a cover of LED ZEPPELIN 's "Out on the Tiles" , which Dave Mustaine has previously described as one of the album's highlights. "It could be the best song," he said. "I think it rocks!"
