MEGADETH Drummer: 'It's Always Fun For Me To Go Somewhere New'

August 18, 2007

MEGADETH drummer Shawn Drover has posted the following message in the "Forums" section of the band's web site:

"So I see now that we have confirmed Perth and Adelaide (Australia) as well as Jakarta, Indonesia to our Pacific Rim leg of the 'United Abominations' tour, which, for me personally, is very cool as I have yet to perform in these areas yet (hopefully, with time permitting, do a little exploring on my own as well). It's always fun for me to go somewhere new, so this tour leg poses to be a good one (well, they all are, really).

"I have just been made aware from my friends at Vic Firth, that my new custom MEGADETH/Shawn Drover graphic drumsticks are ready for this U.S. tour leg and beyond. I am toying with the idea of labeling each pair I use (date, city used, etc.) and puting them on our eBay site in the not-so-distant future. When you do see them, you will see just what I am talking about. More on that soon…

"As you have been kept well informed here on this website, we have a lot of cool things on the MEGA-horizon — some of it you have been made aware of, some of it you have not when things do become solidified, of course it will become public information right here, and remember, if you dont read it here first, it's usually a load of dross."

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.

MEGADETH's latest CD, "United Abominations", has sold 122,000 copies in the United States since its May 15 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
