Megadeth Drops 'I Don't Care' With Skate-Punk Video as Single Hits No. 1 on iTunes

The release previews a self-titled final album arriving Jan. 23 ahead of a 2026 farewell tour.

Overview

  • Directed by Keith J. Leman, the video blends skate-culture vignettes with performance footage and punk-styled attitude.
  • “I Don’t Care” is the second track released from the coming album, following October’s single “Tipping Point.”
  • The album is set for release on Mustaine’s Tradecraft imprint via Frontiers’ BLKIIBLK label with longtime collaborator Chris Rakestraw back in the studio role.
  • The track list includes a bonus cover of Metallica’s “Ride the Lightning,” reflecting Mustaine’s nod to his early influence on those riffs.
  • Dave Mustaine says part of the main riff dates to the 2022 sessions and spotlights guitar interplay with Teemu Mäntysaari, alongside Dirk Verbeuren and James LoMenzo in the current lineup.
