Megadeth will be looking for a new company to make their À Tout Le Monde beer. The brew was made by Canadian company Unibroue and mainman Dave Mustaine says the band's partnership with the brewery is coming to an end.
Guesting on SiriusXM's Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk, Mustaine said, "We went to Unibroue up in Canada and selected that company because we felt that they were a good company. And we got a deal with them. It was for quite a long period of time. And that's expiring, I think, in a couple of more months. And we're going to be looking for a new company to manufacture our beer."
He goes on to say, "So, yeah, we're wrapping things up with Unibroue, and we're gonna be looking for something back down here in the States now. Because there was a lot of stuff that just really restricted us growing to what we wanted to do, because they were a Canadian company and us being an American band that was an international success. You've got people sending you these really helpful messages, 'Hey, my friend on the corner has a bar, and he says he could sell your beer.' And for me, I think to myself, 'Well, that's great, if we had distribution down here.' But it's a little company from Canada."
Speaking with SiriusXM's Jose Mangin (curator/host of Liquid Metal and Octane), Megadeth leader Dave Mustaine recently revealed that the band's forthcoming album, entitled The Sick, The Dying... And The Dead will feature bassist Steve Di Giorgio (Testament, Death, Sadus), who re-recorded the tracks originally laid down by David Ellefson.
Mustaine elaborated on Di Giorgio's involvement in a March 30th conversation with Eddie Trunk, also for SiriusXM.
Mustaine: "When things happened as they did, it was obvious to me that I needed to get a super kickass bass player to come in and cut all the tracks and learn them in relatively no time, because we were in the studio already, so I needed to get somebody that could really do all that stuff... and I hadn't made up my mind on James (LoMenzo) yet. So I ended up asking a super legendary bass player in the metal community, Steve DiGiorgio. I asked him if he would come in and guest on the record. So he came out, and that was really wonderful to hear his interpretation of my songs and the stuff that Kiko (Loureiro / guitar) and Dirk (Verbeuren / drums) and I, the stuff that we're starting to write together."
