Megadeth announce new bassist

Megadeth have parted ways with bass player Jimmy MacDonough and hired James LoMenzo (White Lion, ex-Black Label Society, Pride & Glory) on Feb. 10, 2006.

Dave Mustaine wrote: "I want to thank Jimmy for everything and wish him the best in his future endeavors. He is knowledgable, and a good enough bassist to run his own outfit and I look forward to what he does musically.
It was recommeded I check out James LoMenzo by a friend, because I was uncertain which direction I wanted to take with the bassist, prior to starting the next record and everything just clicked."
