Jeff Kerby of KNAC.COM recently conducted an interview with Dave Mustaine. "While discussions about Mustaine’s personality and demeanor rage on, what really isn’t up for debate is Dave’s production over the last several years. During this time, Megadeth has released albums, DVD’s and even created and headlined Gigantour numerous times. The fact is that whether you love him or hate him, it would be difficult for anyone not to acknowledge the scarcity of individuals in rock who possess Mustaine’s presence and tenacity--he seemingly creates a reaction wherever he goes in whatever he does. Face it, despite the rough edges; the rock world would be a lot less eventful without him in it…" Read the interview  HERE

This isn't cool for you to go to. You have to wait until you're older." Any age can come to these concerts." MORE

Check out Dave Mustaine's wide-reaching and hard-hitting interview on JamBase.com. Dennis Cook for JamBase writes: "Patriot, epic shredder, cultural commentator and balls-to-the-wall rocker, Dave Mustaine, the man behind the quarter century and counting metal institution Megadeth, is all these things and a good deal more. While some folks talk about freedom, Mustaine hammers away at it in a way that'd make the founding fathers grin. Like his music or not, there's something undeniably and wonderfully American about Mustaine. He speaks his mind, often coming at things from a place of deep compassion, but also never giving a flying damn if what he says puts your panties in a twist." MORE
