DAVE MUSTAINE DISCUSSES HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY WITH ROADRUNNER

September 1, 2010 - DAVE MUSTAINE DISCUSSES HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY WITH ROADRUNNER
Roadrunner Records conducted an interview with Dave Mustaine during his book-signing on August 12, 2010 at Borders bookstore in New York, NY. "Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine’s autobiography "Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir" was released on August 3rd in the US and debuted on the New York Times Bestsellers List the following week. The very day that accomplishment was announced, Mustaine was holding a book signing at Borders Books on Wall Street, and Roadrunner was on hand to talk to him not only about the amazing feat, but what went into the book and why now was the time to release it in the first place."

MEGADETH PERFORMS

September 1, 2010 - MEGADETH PERFORMS 'MY LAST WORDS' IN SAN FRANCISCO
Shawn Drover has issued the following update: "Well, last night was fun. Lars [Ulrich] asked us to play "My Last Words" 2 minutes before we went onstage-And being as we have never even rehearsed that tune with this lineup and Megadeth hasn't played that tune since 2005 in the land of OZ, I think we pulled it off rather well. Don't worry though, next time Metallica comes to where I live, I will return the favor and ask them DURING their show to play the most obscure tune they haven't played in years!!! Baaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaa :D All kidding aside, that was actually really fun to just wing it and enjoy the moment. I hope the crowd did enjoy it as well." MORE

 
DAVID ELLEFSON INTERVIEWED BY LA MUSIC BLOG

September 1, 2010 - DAVID ELLEFSON INTERVIEWED BY LA MUSIC BLOG
Shannon Joy of the LA Music Blog recently conducted an interview with David Ellefson. "As a founding member of one of thrash’s most iconic bands, Dave Ellefson has been a staple in the heavy metal community for over 25 years. Following a feud with Megadeth main-man Dave Mustaine in the early 2000’s, Ellefson parted ways with the band to focus on several pet projects, as well as his MEGA Life Christian Ministry. Right in time for the highly anticipated 20th anniversary of their metal monument, "Rust in Peace", Ellefson announced his return to the band in February of this year." Read the interview HERE
