MEGADETH Bassist: 'All Of You Remind Me Of What's Important About What We Do'

September 28, 2007

MEGADETH bassist James Lomenzo has posted the following message in the "Forums" section of the band's official web site:

"What a crazy-great run this is turning into. From the 'supernatural' surroundings of the Town Ballroom in Buffalo to the big bam-a-lamin' show at Irving Plaza, New York City. As my good buddy from Brooklyn, Tony, paraphrased to me the other night after attending the show in NYC... 'The kids are alright.' The kids, meaning you, have been such an inspiration to us. All of you, old and young, remind me of what's important about what we do. How significant and energizing the spirit of metal and rock is to all of us. For some of us it keeps us young, for others it gives us a sense of community, an undeniable communal energy. I get to see it in your eyes every night and I can't tell you what that does for me. Well, actually now I can and for some of you I have. To you out there who have already called me and the other guys on the SayNow line you know that it's not a gimmick. I've had the opportunity to actually hear your comments on the shows and call you back and leave a direct response. Some of you have really been great at expressing your excitement about the shows you've attended and about being able to talk to us and to that I say, I totally get it! I would have killed to be able to do the same when I was listening to THE WHO, LED ZEPPELIN or whomever back in the day... What a trip! For those of you who want to give me a call feel free, I'll get back to as many of you as my time will allow. My number is 661.349.7208."

MEGADETH kicked off its U.S. headlining tour on September 4 in Anchorage, Alaska. The trek will take the band through 24 U.S. cites ending up in Norfolk Virginia on October 6. Support on the dates comes from IN THIS MOMENT and THE CONFESSION.
