MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine has posted the following message in the "Forums" section of the band's web site:

"I have been trying, albeit unsuccessfully, to record a podcast and it is not sounding too good. I think the studio has made me too picky. Anyway, I will be sending this MegaFanClub-only [MEGADETH's official fan club] podcast of answers to '10 Questions' and some small updates regularly.

"I was thinking of asking Justis [Dave's son] to ask me the questions, but his new quest to play in the Superbowl has drawn him away from music; and he is pretty good too so it is sad.

"Maybe I will ask Electra [Dave's daughter], but she is currently starting filming a television show with wrestling legend Bill Goldberg's lovely and talented wife Wanda Goldberg about taking care of animals and I am sure there will be more to post once the show officially launches its press campaign. I am sure I will get it done, and in the mean time today when I was going over the questions, I noticed how excited some of you were in the questions. Well, I am excited to answer your questions and give you updates on all-things-MEGA.

"I am sorry but the '10 Questions' are only going to be for MegaFanClub members, and members should send in only one question; multiple questions or two-part questions may not be delivered through to make it into my hands on the road. But there will be samples of it here to give you a peek at what they will sound like.

"I just approved some really great new items for your MEGADETH merchandise collection, and we are halfway done with the talent lineup for Gigantour in the States next year.

"We have a contest coming up surrounding the guitar I will be using in the [upcoming MEGADETH] video [for 'Never Walk Alone...A Call To Arms']. And we are considering letting the fan club members know where the location of the shoot is."

MEGADETH's U.S. tour this fall kicks off in Anchorage, Alaska on September 4, taking the band through 24 U.S. cites ending up in Norfolk Virginia on October 6. Support on the dates will come from IN THIS MOMENT and THE CONFESSION.

Yeah, In This Moment and The Confession are just the support for their tour right now. He has not said anything yet about the bands that will be on Gigantour. Hopefully this year they won't have a band like The Smashup. That sh** was horrible

and I don't think the australian version necessarily tells anything about the version in the states. I'm surprised that Mustaine would be Static-X on any bills honestly.

Well usually big tours like this do carry over one or two of it's other bands, like the Machinehead /w Archenemy tour did, so you can at least take hints sometimes. Does'nt really matter right now though, since noone knows ANY of the bands anyway, it's all up to Megadeth to choose.

Sorry but Family Values is more of a rock festival with some metal. Korn is not metal. And they headlined. Plain and simple.
