For those unsure what the current status of Megadeth’s drummer might be we can definintely clear this up for you.

Whilst holding a press conference this Friday, Dave Mustaine was asked that the situation with Chris Adler was and his place in the band. Having recorded their brilliant album Dystopia earlier this year along with performing a select amount of shows with the band that would appear is it.

“Well, I think that if you’re in the presence of greatness, it would be shameful not to allow that person to be great. But let me back up, though. Chris Adler is not with Megadeth; he’s in Lamb Of God. He was a session guy. It was what you could call ‘work for hire.’ And he has nothing to do with us anymore, and he is with his band, which… I’m very grateful for his contributions. I’m grateful for him introducing us to Dirk. We still haven’t announced who our new drummer is gonna be, it won’t be Chris Adler, because he’s in Lamb Of God.”

Fairly understandable, after the turbulent time that Lamb of God encountered and their fantastic rebirth last year with Sturm Und Drang, Adler’s work is far from done with Lamb of God. Well at least now we know the score straight from the horses mouth!
