MEGADETH Drummer: 'We Are Really Hitting A Groove Right Now'

September 20, 2007

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

"To give a brief synopsis of this tour leg, it has been going very well. Each show has been sold out, with band and audience having a good time. We are really hitting a groove right now, and are still doing a big of 'tweaking' to make the setlist as tight as possible before we add/change a song or two into the list. We don't want to play something until it is 99.9999% ready, but it will happen, rest assured.

"On a different yet related front, my SayNow cell number is fully operative, so give me a call at 678-999-2215. This is a killer way for direct contact between band and fans, and nobody keeps in touch more with their fans than MEGADETH. This is just the latest avenue for us to prove this notion, and we are all over it, people.

"As well, it is that time of year once again where band/crew submit our picks for the NFL weekly football pool, which is a fun morale/good-vibe thing we like to do, with the winner being able to remind the losers that they are the champ of the week. I won last week (12 out of 16) and I am going on record now by saying that I will yet again win this week. Thank you and good night."

MEGADETH's September 22, 2007 concert at the Newport Music Hall in Columbus, Ohio will be streamed live via YeboTV.com. You will need to register at this location to catch this live event.

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.
