Former Megadeth drummer Nick Menza had wanted to rejoin Megadeth however as we know currently this is not the case. Lamb Of God drummer Chris Adler is currently drumming for the studio sessions. Menza has released an official statement to confirm he was asked to return, but Nick was not happy with the terms: A partial statement is below:

“To my fans, I hate disappointing all of you who have been asking and hopeful that Marty Friedman and I would rejoin Dave Mustaine and David Ellefson to resurge the classic Rust In Peace‘ lineup.
I was totally ready and excited to get back in Megadeth. I went to Dave‘s house/studio in San Diego this past December and we jammed for the weekend and it was totally cool. We instantly fell right back into our musical groove together.
A few weeks after this, we all got together with our old manager Ron Laffitte for a dinner meeting at the Anaheim White House restaurant during NAMM.
As soon as I got home and it was time to sit down and negotiate my terms in writing, I was offered a very unfair deal that was so wrong. They didn’t feel I was worth anything to the band. Dave blocked my emails, changed his number and then, apparently, Ron Laffitte was fired as the band’s manager. Here is one of my favorite bands and a huge part of my life achievements and I was shut out for wanting a fair deal.
There’s much more to this story, and I could now add the final chapter to my book ‘Nick Menza Megalife: Countdown To Resurrection‘, by J. Marshall Craig.
Despite this dark final chapter, I wish Megadeth the heartiest of health, happiness and success with their future plans. As for me, I am moving on with a new band of other fellow former ‘Deth members, as well as a few surprise players, and producer.”
