3.7.2005 - Vic & The Rattlehads?

ScorpioN,

About 9 years ago, a local club was promoting a band called 'Rattlehead' pretty heavily, and they said that it wasn't a local band. I told my coworker (now husband) about it, and he said, "You know Megadeth tours small clubs under that name, right? You missed an opportunity to see them live!"

Is this true? Did they tour as Dave and the Rattleheads or simply Rattlehead? Need to know, because it's been an issue in the house again. We now have a bet going, so help us out.

Thanks!

Gladly my dear She Wolf. It is neither Rattlehead, nor Dave and the Rattleheads, but you both were close. Dave and the boys have been known to do a warm up gig or two under the name Vic & The Rattleheads. They were also billed as Vic & The Rattlheads for a charity fundraiser concert back on May 13, 2000 that took place in Los Angeles, CA. The live performance scenes for the movie "Rock Star" were filmed during this metal fundraiser.
