Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine has said that he and Activision have had some "high level meetings" in regards to a Megadeth-branded Guitar Hero product.
Answering fanmail on the band's website, Mustaine said, "I have recently had two very important high-level meetings with the people from Activision and Neversoft, and we are talking about a lot of things, but a Guitar Hero box set is not as attractive to me and the people from Guitar Hero as the new idea that they offered me, as the creative stuff that we are talking about is over-the-moon!
"I just hope that someone doesn't stand in the way of this happening. I know that there are a lot of really damaging results from our mothership (Warner) having some legal disputes with YouTube and Guitar Hero to name just a few."

We can't imagine a Megadeth version topping what Activision did with Guitar Hero: Metallica version, especially as Metallica are a far, far, far bigger band. What do you think they're up to?
Now I love Megadeth, the only things I worry about are that my fingers cannot work that fast and neither can probably anyone's if they're not on a shed load of Coke and after the larger Metallica success, this would look like a bit of a damp squib.
