MEGADETH's MUSTAINE To Guest On 'Headbanger's Ball'

August 16, 2005

MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine will be hosting "Headbanger's Ball" on MTV2 once again. The exact air date has not yet been announced.

Mustaine recently parted ways with Sanctuary Records, the label that released three album from MEGADETH, including 2004's critically acclaimed "The System Has Failed", which debuted at No. 18 on The Billboard 200 chart. The latest MEGADETH release, "Greatest Hits: Back to the Start" (Capitol),entered the Billboard chart at No. 65 and has sold 60,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. On the concert front, MEGADETH are performing this summer on the inaugural Gigantour package tour with DREAM THEATER, FEAR FACTORY and others. The six-week festival trek — with the fan-friendly ticket price of approximately $35 each — is the brainchild of Mustaine, who hand-picked the bands for Gigantour with a focus on musicianship.
