Ex-MEGADETH Guitarist MARTY FRIEDMAN Denies There Was Ever Any Bad Blood Between Him And DAVE MUSTAINE

Three months ago, ex-MEGADETH guitarist Marty Friedman reunited with his former band during the Dave Mustaine-fronted outfit's first-ever gig at Tokyo, Japan's famed Budokan. Friedman came up on stage for three songs toward the end of the main set on February 27: "Countdown To Extinction", "Tornado Of Souls" and "Symphony Of Destruction".

Asked during an appearance on the latest episode of "The Jasta Show" podcast hosted by HATEBREED frontman Jamey Jasta, how those three songs were chosen to be performed during the MEGADETH set, Marty said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "It was so organic. It was like two buds in high school talking about, 'Let's go jam.' It was so incredibly casual. And I think that's the way it should be, really. And we just talked about a couple of songs. I wanted to do two songs, and then Dave [Mustaine, MEGADETH mainman] says, 'Why don't we do another song?' And I'm, like, 'Okay. That's great.' Yeah, so we did the songs that we did, and there was no real rhyme and reason to which songs we did. But it turned out just fine and we enjoyed the hell out of it."

Friedman also shot down speculation that there was bad blood between him and Mustaine in the two decades since they parted ways. "The funny thing is there was really nothing between us ever in the time that we weren't playing together," he said. "And if there was, it was kind of like things that media kind of like… You know how they do these days — they'll take something that could possibly look negative out of, like, a two-hour interview, and that'll be the headline. There was never anything between us in the first place. If either of us e-mailed each other, it would be totally casual. So it wasn't unusual to hear from Dave and say, 'Dude, we're playing Budokan. You wanna jam?' It was just completely casual. So there really never was anything — definitely nothing that I know of that was of any kind of juicy, newsworthy arguments between us in the first place. It's boring. But it is what it is."

Last month, Friedman told Michael Christopher of Metal Edge magazine that he had no regrets or disappointments about the fact that a proposed reunion of MEGADETH's "Rust In Peace" lineup failed to materialize nearly a decade ago, before the passing of drummer Nick Menza. "I never even thought about that," he said. "I don't even know how to answer the question. In the music business, projects are constantly being pitched and ideas are constantly happening. 'And what about this collaboration? What about that and what about this and what about that?' In Japan as well. There's just so many things that I'm doing.

"The 'Rust In Peace' thing was very interesting, the idea," he continued. "Whatever it took to make that happen wasn't there at the time, so it just didn't happen. But I don't have any regrets at all.

"I don't regret anything that I did in the band," Friedman added. "And I think that what they've done in my absence has been very, very good. I'm their biggest fan and proud of them for continuing to be a force in the kind of music that MEGADETH's set out to make. I mean, that's not easy to do for decades, so I'm proud of them."

Three years ago, Friedman admitted that money was a major motivator for him when he was approached about taking part in a reunion of MEGADETH's "Rust In Peace" lineup.

Friedman had met with guitarist/vocalist Dave Mustaine and then-bassist David Ellefson at the 2015 NAMM show in Anaheim, California to discuss the reunion, which would have seen him and Menza back in the mix.

Friedman opened up about his reasons for turning down the MEGADETH reunion in Mustaine's latest book, "Rust In Peace: The Inside Story Of The Megadeth Masterpiece", which details the making of the iconic record "Rust In Peace".

"My main thing was I'd be happy to do it, but I'm not going to take less money than I'm already making to do it," Marty said in part.

"I'd been in Japan for more than ten years cultivating a career with solid rewards. I was making money not only for myself but also for my management and staff. My manager has been with me fifteen years.

"Everything was sound and solid professionally, and when the offer came up to all of a sudden join MEGADETH again, as long as I would not be making less money, I was ready to go," he said. "But I was certainly not going to take a loss to join a band that, frankly, at that point, didn't seem like they had too much to offer musically. A couple of members of the band had recently quit, and musically I hadn't heard anything that they've done in a long time. I didn't know about how relevant they continued to be in the music business. It wasn't like MEGADETH was on the tip of people's tongues, at least not in Japan. I had reached the point where people stopped immediately connecting me to MEGADETH and were talking about the things that I had done in Japan."

According to Friedman, part of the reason he turned down the MEGADETH reunion is the fact that the group is largely seen as Mustaine's solo project, with members coming and going every couple of albums.

"Had it been more of a band situation and not such a one-man, Dave Mustaine-main-man party, I might have considered doing it for a little less," Marty said. "But, at the end of the day, MEGADETH is so much Mustaine because that's the way he engineered it. I didn't feel that kind of camaraderie, the four-man diamond, THE BEATLES, KISS, METALLICA. I felt like I would be going out there and tour and it was going to be Mustaine's big success. If I'm going to do that, I'm certainly not going to lose money to do that; I was doing great on my own in Japan."

Mustaine told Loudwire that he was put off by Friedman's financial demands when the topic of a "Rust In Peace" reunion was broached.

"Marty has a really successful career in Japan where he makes quite a lot of money," Dave said. "And this is the part where I thought it was a little weird, where he said he said that he has to pay all his team while he's gone instead of just himself. 'Cause I thought we'll pay you what you're making so that's switching horses in the middle of the river — it's no big deal unless you fall off. And then when we found out that he wanted to sell his merch, his this, his that, his this, his that, then he wanted this crazy amount of money and he wanted to fly first class everywhere. I said to our management, 'I can't deal with this.'"

In a 2016 interview with the "Eddie Trunk Podcast", Mustaine confirmed that MEGADETH didn't hold any rehearsals with Friedman while attempting a reunion of the "Rust In Peace" lineup.

"Marty had sent some e-mails saying, 'Oh, man, you know, the fans have this self-inflated importance of 'Rust In Peace' beyond what it really is. And I was, like, 'Huh?'" Dave said. 'So I didn't know if that was a backhand to the face of the fans or not, but he had basically said that if we were gonna do anything, it had to be better than 'Rust In Peace'. And he sent me over some links to some songs that he thought should be the direction that we were going in, and one of it was this J-Pop band with some Japanese girl singing, and I was, like, 'Uh-uh. This ain't gonna work.' More power to [Marty for being into that stuff]. Do what you want, Marty. He's a great guitar player. But I'm not gonna sing like a Japanese girl."

Интересно кто эти неизвестные люди кто постоянно говорил про вражду между ними ? Если Мастейн миллион раз звал Фридмана вернуться начиная с 2004 года и в личных разговорах говорил что считает Фридмана самым ценным музыкантов за всю историю группы ( после себя конечно )

PetrovichRUS

Когда была автограф-сессия у Мастейна в Москве 2011 года, один знакомый принес на подпись альбом с автографом Марти и Мастейн спросил, чей это автограф и ответил "я не знаю кто такой Марти Фридман". Вот уж точно нет никакой вражды🤷‍♂️

PetrovichRUS, А это не та сессия с легендарным видео, на которым парень (ходит легенда, что его звали Филипп) заявил Мастейну, что всегда его котировал?

Фридман воспользовался удачным раскладом и грамотно использовал бывшую группу для оживления интереса к себе, перед туром по США. 27 февраля Будокан, а с 3 марта он поехал в Штаты. Шум, ностальгия, намеки, видосики, интервью. Все довольны, и билеты, глядишь, лучше разойдутся.

Дэйв недавно рассказывал, почему Марти ушел. Он записал соло для Breadline, но ребятам с лейбла оно не понравилось. Мастейн попросил их самим сообщить об этом Марти, но те этого так и не сделали. Так что когда группа слушала уже сведенный альбом, у Фридмана был шок. Вообще как по мне это вполне себе повод, чтобы разосраться.

Гепард, Фридман придумал и записал на альбом РИСК 18 соло . Когда слушали финальную версию осталось только три . На вопрос к Мастейну - что за нах ? Тот пожал плечами и сказал что так решил лейбл и продюссер. Фридман доиграл оставшиеся по контракту концерты и ушёл. Хотя как уже намного позже он сам признавался первые мысли уйти у него возникли ещё в 1997 и рано или поздно он бы сделал это а кидок с соло был хорошим предлогом. Мастейн его долго отговаривал но не отговорил . Личной вражды никогда не было просто люди пошли своими путями.

Aiming High

olly71, а вот я давненько читал интервью(примерно в те времена), в котором Марти рассказывал что его не устраивала концепция Риска,мол нужно играть либо метал либо попсу,а не пойми что.И на почве разногласий с рыжим по поводу дальнйшего развития группы он ушел.Теперь вот вылазят на поверхность различные истории,одна охуительнее другой.

Дело было не в соло, а в том, что стадионный бум Меги к 1999 году закончился. Их время в мэйнстриме прошло. После провала Risk это стало очевидно, и Дэйв решил вернуться к старому звучанию, а потом и вовсе депрессанул и слился на три года... Марти это не устраивало, т.к гонять по клубам он мог и в одно лицо, что и сделал. Если бы Risk не провалился, а популярность Меги продолжила расти, никакой бы Марти никуда бы не свалил.
