Why reinvent yourself if what you're doing is great? I'm not saying be a band like ACDC or Motorhead where the records are very similar with your music direction and you don't make too much experimentations. Those are two bands that I love, I'm not saying anything negative about them at all, but with Megadeth we took some risks in experimentation the way that Led Zepplin would take risks (although please don't think I'm comparing us to them in anyway, because I'm not). They made some fantastic music which changed from one type of music style to another from the songs, but it was always Led Zeppelin. There was only one song that Led Zeppelin made ever that I wasn't completely thrilled hearing and that was Hot Dog, but every other song they ever made I can find something very enjoyable about them.

My advice to a band would be follow what your dreams are and do what you're the best at. An example in Sports would be Michael Jordan who went from playing incredible basketball to baseball - and he sucked at baseball. It was so horrible it wasn't even funny. And I think it's because there are quite a few athletes in America who do dual sports, but because you're good at one thing it doesn't mean you'll be good at two, and the saddest thing is when you're so good at one thing that you believe that you're entitled to do something else. It was excruciating to watch Michael Jordan play baseball.
