There has been a lot of uncertainty surrounding Megadeth the last few months. Ever since guitarist Chris Broderick and drummer Shawn Drover quit Megadeth, the speculation has run rampant as to who would fill those shows. The fans really wanted Nick Menza on drums and Marty Friedman on guitar. Menza is seemingly pre-occupied and while Friedman didn't say no, it doesn't seem likely he'll be back either.
But who are their new members? The band themselves teased a video of their new drummer a few weeks back, but no official announcements have yet been made. Until today!
Frontman Dave Mustaine, hearing your pleas for some information finally had an announcement. The announcement was that an announcement was coming…
Next week will see an official press statement from Megadeth regarding the new recording.

Well, I guess maybe we'll know next week? Mustaine has previously indicated that the band is entering the studio on March 2nd "no matter what." For those of you without a calendar handy, that's this coming Monday.
We'll keep you posted on any further announcements or announcements of announcements.
