You guys know the story by now, guitarist Chris Broderick and drummer Shawn Drover quit Megadeth last fall and the band have been teasing us ever since. They seemingly found a new drummer and I guess the hunt is still on for a guitarist? Today, Dave Mustaine tweeted the following:
I'm excited to be auditioning one of my final picks for my new guitarist today.

Who could this magical mystery person be? An unkown? A semi-known? We know is probably not Marty Friedman. We can probably put that rumor to rest once and for all.
Previously, Megadeth said they would begin recording the new album at the top of the month but it looks like the auditioning process delayed that a bit:
I rented the coolest house for the band while tracking in Nashville. Thanks for making it possible.

Mustaine seems pumped, are you pumped? Who would be a good candidate to join Megadeth?
