MEGADETH Mainman 'Reeling From Last 16 Months Of Touring'
July 3, 2008MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine has posted the following message in the "Forums" section of the band's official web site:
"I have a meeting up north today, and have been trying to get all of our gear back from all over the world. I talked to James [Lomenzo, bass] and Chris [Broderick, guitar] in the last few days either by phone or via text, and we are going to start organizing the studio after the weekend. This means that we will have a rehearsal place, as well as a demo studio for new stuff.
"Speaking of new stuff, many of you know I am doing a performance at Guitar Center July 10th, and that MEGADETH is doing a performance coming up this month in Anaheim for Affliction and their Mixed Martial Arts event. I have gotten a really obvious request for a song for the performance that I haven't played in over ten years, and I am not sure that I even remember it, but if I can still sing that high and it sounds good, there is a chance that we will be playing something from [1985's 'Killing is My Business...And Business Is Good'].
"God, I am reeling from the last 16 months of touring, the victories, and even more victories, and only once in a great while were there ever problems, but even still we tried to put everything else in the world on the shelf for the 90 minutes that we would play each night."
The third installment of the U.S. Gigantour — the acclaimed traveling heavy music festival launched in 2005 by Dave Mustaine — wrapped May 22 in Phoenix, Arizona. The trek officially launched on April 12 in Denver, Colorado with headliner MEGADETH, Swedish metal band IN FLAMES, Finland's CHILDREN OF BODOM, Arizona's modern extreme act JOB FOR A COWBOY and Oakland, California heavy power trio HIGH ON FIRE.
