Loudwire recently interviewed Slash and asked him about jamming with Megadeth leader Dave Mustaine in the 1980s, which Slash had detailed in his 2007 autobiography. When asked if he could envision a collaboration between the two guitarists in the future, Slash replied it was unlikely, as he didn’t think his playing “would work in the context of what Megadeth does.”
Now, Loudwire has posed the same question to Dave Mustaine, who responded quite differently. “Slash is a terrific talent and I disagree wholeheartedly with what he said: that he couldn't play on a Megadeth record,” Mustaine said.
Mustaine later added that he would “definitely be interested in doing anything with Slash."

As for whether fans can expect a new Megadeth album in 2019, Mustaine said: "Absolutely. For sure. A whole new record, I would say the chances are probably 95 percent. And at least one new song, I’d say it’s 100 percent. No question."
“His thumbprint is an indelible part of the Whitesnake record he did. The fatness of that record and the rock integrity it had was all him”: Steve Vai followed John Sykes in Whitesnake – and he quickly decided what not to do when playing his parts
“I’m not playing the Eagles, so this is probably not the guitar for that. But it’s perfect for me”: Tetrarch’s Diamond Rowe went against conventions to create her Jackson signature model, and it all comes back to being a guitarist with a presence
