In-person interview with Shawn Drover from MEGADETH

By Aniruddh "Andrew" Bansal

October 21st 2010, Gibson Amphitheatre, Los Angeles CA

In this interview, Shawn talks about Megadeth's biggest touring year, being a 'Megadeth nerd', Dave Mustaine's book, and the reason for continuing to play Rust in Peace and not many Endgame songs. He also talks about having ideas for new songs, playing guitar, S.O.D and crossover thrash, doing drum clinics, and drummers that he has learnt most from.

In the latter half he discusses touring plans, the hardest songs to play live, the Rust In Peace DVD, getting to tour with Exodus drummer Tom Hunting in the recent past, the physical challenge of being a thrash metal drummer, and a young drummer who impresses him the most.
