MEGADETH's MUSTAINE Talks State Of Heavy Metal, Helping Victims Of Oklahoma Natural Disasters

July 16, 2013

Katie Leone of Caller.com conducted an interview with MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine at the July 14 Gigantour stop at the Concrete Street Amphitheater in Corpus Christi, Texas. Mustaine talked about the state of heavy metal today, what he's doing to help victims of the recent natural disasters in Oklahoma, the MEGADETH Wearhouse Funny Or Die video and what started it all, and why saying no doesn't mean you're grumpy. You can now watch the chat below.

MEGADETH's latest album, "Super Collider", sold 29,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 6 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD arrived in stores on June 4 via Dave Mustaine's new label, Tradecraft, distributed by Universal Music Enterprises (UMe). The effort is available as a limited-edition CD with 3-D cover and bonus tracks, regular CD, regular LP, limited LP plus a bonus colored seven-inch single with two bonus tracks, and a download voucher.

MEGADETH filmed a video for the "Super Collider" title track on May 10 in the Los Angeles area. California-based model, actress, singer and songwriter Hunter Elizabeth was cast in the lead role in the clip, which she says is "about a high-school couple still loving each other after all the years after graduation, and at the 10-year reunion, both characters find themselves successful (a model and a mathematician) and still very in love."
