Mustaine Issues Update
Band Photo: Megadeth (?)
MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine has issued the following update:
"I had a trip up to L.A. yesterday and had meetings for hours and there is some real kewl stuff coming up for all-things-mega.
"I saw all of the Pan-Pacific dates, and it potentially includes Indonesia, Singapore, South Korea, and China added in to the usual favorites of ours, Japan and Australia. There appears to be an especially great run coming up in Oz, which we will update you officially on, as soon as we can. We also discussed the U.S. mini-tour the September, and it looks like I am spending my birthday on the road again. Oh well, this way I can make a mess and not worry about the morning after. [We are excited how many fan club members are getting their tickets early] We also made contact with Michael Sarna (Gigantour 2005 and 2006 filmmaker) about finishing last year's Gigantour DVD, as well as special releases and broadcasts that Image wants to do with these films and the DVD 'That One Night', our live recording from Argentina.
"Actually looking forward to seeing the guy."

United Abominations had some good moments, but at times I just kept getting the feeling all I was doing is listening to Mustaine rant about politics. I'm not interested in politics in the first place, but the last thing I want to do is shell out money to listen to Dave blatantly rant about stuff. If you're going to rant, at least mask it in some sort of artistic way, rather than just blabbling on about the UN in a plain voice for two minutes. No thanks.

mustaine needed to get p***ed to make a full throttle kick a$$ metal album with lots of guitar. Politics piss him off, and he felt he needed to write about it. be happy ur not getting lyrics like 'my gf dumped me' or 'i wanna die'. for f*** sakes man, United Abominations is what every Metalhead needed this year. but I will be fair this album did have too straight forward ranting on politics, but it doesnt bug me, United Abominations still kicks f***ing ass, and its thrashy as hell for you tools
