Megadeth Working On New Album
In a recent interview with Free! Magazine, Megadeth's Shawn Drover revealed that the band has begun working on ideas for a new full-length album. An excerpt from the interview can be found below.
What about your last album “Endgame”? How happy are you with it – musically and commercial wise?
Shawn: We’re very happy with it. In terms of success – the way things are with the Internet downloading and stealing music it can’t be compared to earlier time when records sold platinum – times have changed. That’s the way life is and how the music industry is right now. Bands don’t sell as much as they used do which sucks but its (the “Endgame” album”) very critically acclaimed record, many people really love it, our fans love it. As long as we have fans there actually isn’t anything to worry about. And we get new fans every time. We just keep doing our best and hoping for the best. And the sales have been down for everybody. But I still consider this album a success.
I read that you are working on a new album and it should be out in 2011. Is that right?
Shawn: We’re talking about it. We have been in a tour mode at the moment but we have started to work on a couple of ideas. But just very few ideas only. During a sound check we recorded a few ideas but we’re going to finish this world tour and then come together and start working out these ideas. We hope it will be out next year but we’ll see how things will go.More...

Megadeth Checks In With Road Report
Megadeth's production assistant Rikki has checked in from Moscow with the following road report:
"Here we are at the end of our European Summer Tour of 2010. Show day #2 from Moscow, Russia. 2 more shows and we'll happily be back on American soil. I have come down to the venue early today to enjoy the peace and quiet and get some work done before the band and crew arrive. I spent several years working for the Newport Music Hall in Columbus, Ohio, quite often being the first one in and the last one out. I can't describe the calming effect it has on me, being here so early and watching a building slowly come to life. It starts slow, by mid day, things are going at a fairly fast pace, then it's show time and everything's going at full power.
"The building is filled with sweaty, excited people and the energy is amazing. Then you frantically hurry to get your job finished so that the night is over and you sit back and review the day. The place smells disgusting, lots of sweat, beer, etc and you'd never want to walk around without boots on, through all of the mess. But the building starts to take that calm again. It gets quiet, but remnants of that energy remains for hours. While just another day to me, to some people in that room, that was the greatest night of their life. Or something that will stay in their memory for a long time.
"Contributing even in the smallest way, is something that has always made me happy and many years ago, I decided that I never wanted to do anything else. I'm truly blessed to be one of the few who knows what they want out of life and has the opportunity to actually do it. I'm even more blessed to be doing with such a wonderful group of people. Now if I could be fortunate enough to have a blackberry that works all the time, I'd be the luckiest girl on the planet. More...

Dave Mustaine Issues Road Report
Megadeth front man Dave Mustaine has checked in with the following update from the road:
"Droogies! Yesterday was such a great day for me, that I don't even know where to start. First, y'all know how much I love the Latin based countries, South and Central America, and of course, the reason my family and myself fell in love with the Spanish speaking people of the world, and that is when we lived in Marbella, Spain.
"It doesn't matter what part of Spain I am in, it always, always brings a smile to my face; much like being in Argentina and Chile, and my new favorite neighbor to the South - Costa Rica! The show yesterday was really smooth, like David Ellefson shared in his post, and after we were done we said, 'hello' to several people, and even went to watch Rammstein.
"Too bad I could never do something like that. I just can't see me with a flamethrower on my face, and standing in the middle of enough explosives to free Iran! We are just going through customs in Russia, so I have to go now, so for the first time in a long time, I can say goodbye my Droogies, and someone will know what the heck a Droogie is."

Anthrax Confirmed For American Carnage Tour
Metalheads rejoice: North America's biggest thrash tour in 20 years is announced, as 1991's original American "Clash of the Titans" lineup – Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax - will tour together once again on Leg Two of the American Carnage Tour. This trek kicks off September 24 at Verizon Wireless Theatre in Dallas, TX and will play 20 dates, including New York's Nassau Coliseum, concluding at Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles on October 21. Now the only possible bigger tour will inevitably be when all of the "Big Four" take their European Tour back to the United States.
On Leg Two of American Carnage, Megadeth will continue to roar through its landmark 1990 album Rust in Peace from front to back, while Slayer will rip the roof off by performing its much-lauded Seasons in the Abyss album, which was also released in 1990. Anthrax recently welcomed back singer Joey Belladonna, who defined the band during their prime, and now permanently back in the band, will be front-and-center. Belladonna will be on their upcoming album: "Worship Music" which has no official release date as of today.
The original “Clash of the Titans” tour united the three forces of thrash metal for the entire summer of 1991, with then-little known Alice in Chains serving as the opener. This tour, which falls under the “American Carnage” banner, isn’t rewriting history; it’s writing a whole new chapter of headbanging history that is sure to delight fans new and old. It is still unknown if Alice In Chains will perform as the opening act. Tour dates as followed: More...
