MEGADETH Mainman Is Looking Forward To European Tour

April 28, 2007

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

"As I sit in my office, somewhere just before 7:15 a.m., I am preparing to leave San Diego County for Albuquerque, New Mexico. I have been really enjoying playing Arizona and California so far on this tour, but I am excited to see NM Droogies after the last two Gigantour visits there.

"What a metal city!

"I noticed some of you are happy with the current set list, and are enjoying yourselves with my/our newfound energy. Well, we feed off of you, so thanks!

"And we were given 5 extra minutes to play, and the show sometimes starts 5 minutes early, so when that happens (and it usually does),I get a chance to take a break, have a sip, and do an encore.

"We may change the setlist, but you know the saying, 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it,' unless you're a tweaker, and in that case you already fixed it ten times and it's still broken.

"I am not even going to try to explain about the single switch from 'A Tout Le Monde' to 'Washington Is Next!' I am just glad you like it; although the truth would '(Set Me Free)'.

"It's good seeing the MACHINE HEAD guys every day, and I am starting to see details of our Europe trip, which really excites me. I can't wait to play some new songs to our international Droogs!

"Well, my car is approaching and I should leave now, but I wanted to say thank you to my dear friend Andy Sneap. Andy, I hope you kept the dartboard. Great news on the EMI stuff, and I'll see you soon.

"I need to tell Elliot and Dean that nothing has ever made me this excited about a guitar! I can't wait to get my new models and watch Glen [Drover, guitar] and Shawn [Drover, drums] slobber! Yee-haw!!! And to DDrum! I have never seen a cooler drum kit in my life! Thank you guys!

"Lastly, it's 17 days to release (16 overseas) and I want to thank you all for your patience while I had to search inside me for this record. It may not completely fill you, because some of you still have holes like I once had (and . . . some you are just fat bastards!),but it certainly fills me . . . for now!"

As previously reported, the official MEGADETH "United Abominations" e-card has been updated to include the studio version of "Washington is Next!" in the media player at the end of the card. Click here to view it now.

MEGADETH's video for the new version of the song "A Tout Le Monde", now retitled "A Tout Le Monde (Set Me Free)", is available for viewing at this location. A video clip of LACUNA COIL's Cristina Scabbia — who makes a guest appearance in the song — talking about the video shoot for "A Tout Le Monde (Set Me Free)", which took place March 8-9 in Los Angeles, has been posted online at this location.

"A Tout Le Monde (Set Me Free)" will appear on "United Abominations", due on May 15 via Roadrunner Records. A professionally shot video clip of MEGADETH performing "Washington is Next!" on October 14, 2006 at the Loud Park '06 festival in Tokyo, Japan has been posted online at YouTube.com. A rough-mix version of "Gears of War", is available for download at this location.
