MEGADETH Drummer Issues Post-NAMM Update

January 24, 2008

MEGADETH drummer Shawn Drover has issued the following update:

"Just arrived home last evening from the insanity that is the NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) show. Man, that was such a great time for me!!! In the sea of humanity (drunken humanity, during the evening hours, for some) I was able to at least see most of my friends attending the show for a brief moment before moving on to the next series of events. It was basically impossible to meet all the people, endorsers, etc. and spend an ample amount of time with each of them, but that's the way it is for basically everybody, so no biggie — I will spend a few more days next year to rectify this All in all, a great time for me. Thank you to all my endorsers for having me, and you know I appreciate it greatly.

"All else is going according to plan. I leave in one week for Finland for the Euro tour leg, which is going to be fun. I haven't seen any snow yet this year, so I am hoping there will be some snow somewhere.

"I plan on keeping you informed from my The Live Line number, so keep checking in with me on that."

New MEGADETH guitarist Chris Broderick will make his live debut with the band on February 4 in Finland, where MEGADETH will kick off a long string of international dates which wrap March 14 in Bangalore, India.

The third installment of Gigantour — the acclaimed traveling heavy music festival launched in 2005 by Mustaine — will launch April 12 in Denver, CO with headliner MEGADETH, Swedish metal band IN FLAMES, Finland's CHILDREN OF BODOM, Arizona's modern extreme JOB FOR A COWBOY and Oakland, CA heavy power trio HIGH ON FIRE all confirmed. The 29-date trek will criss-cross North America and wraps May 22 in Phoenix, AZ.
