MEGADETH's DAVE MUSTAINE: 'I Love Israel'

June 14, 2005

MEGADETH will be performing in Israel next week when they headline the third annual Metalist Festival on June 22. The band's founder and leader Dave Mustaine said that he is excited about returning to Israel for the third time — once with MEGADETH ten years ago, and then on a private visit. "I love Israel — I've been back since the Cinerama show on a private visit with my wife and two children. We fell in love with the country and its people. In America, there's a stigma that all of Israel is like Gaza. I know it's different," Mustaine told The Jerusalem Post. "Politically it's very emotional and passionate, but I found the people warm and inviting — there's not typical Israeli, that's a stereotype — they're from a lot of different backgrounds."
