It has been rumored for a couple of weeks now, even though we heard it straight from Mustaine’s mouth if you watched the video interview from 24ur.com. Dave Mustaine mentioned that Anthrax would be joining them on their American Carnage tour. A lot of people got excited to find out that they were going to see Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax and Testament all on the same stage. Unfortunately all the information wasn’t really put out there and people just assumed.

The whole story is this; Anthrax will be joining Slayer and Megadeth for the SECOND leg of the American Carnage tour. Testament will only be along on the first leg of the tour from July 23rd to September 4th. Blabbermouth.net “exclusively” reported the second set of confirmed dates for leg 2 of American Carnage. confirmed tour dates for both legs after the fold. Read the rest of this entry »

Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine will be releasing his autobiography, “Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir” on August 3rd by ‘It Books’ publishers. The 368 page, hard-cover book documents the life and times of the founder of Megadeth. Dave Mustaine’s career has been tainted with drug and alcohol abuse that got him fired from Metallica and left behind more enemies than friends throughout the years. The outspoken and often brash metal frontman gets to tell his side of the stories that the press has taken out of context time and time again. Although much of it may be contradicted by former members, such as Jeff Young, The book is supposedly a tell-all about years of touring through heroin addiction, recovery, hiring and firing band members and being “saved”. I can’t wait to read it.

Dave Mustaine will be signing copies of the book at Unity Temple On The Plaza, Sanctuary at 707 W 47th Street in Kansas City, Missouri from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm. The book must be purchased from Rainy Day Books. To inquire about admission packages, call 913-384-3126. I’m not sure how this is going to work, but I think you purchase the admission package which comes with a ticket that states that you have paid for the book and he has copies of the book there that are given to you when you redeem your ticket. Your best bet is to call the number (913-384-3126) for inquiries.

If you can’t make the signing for the obvious reason that you don;t live anywhere near Kansas City, you can Purchase the book at Amazon.com.

Youtube user MrTallica4lifegbrtdy, has uploaded all sorts of great Sonisphere 2010 Sophia Bulgaria footage to include a much better quality version of the Am I Evil performance. Below are just picks of my favorites out of the bunch. I hate to admit, but I think Dave needs some kind of vocal coaching or something to hit those semi-higher notes, granted his voice might have been shot from the previous shows and songs. Anyway, watch them all on MrTallica4lifegbrtdy‘s Channel.

This might seem like it could be a huge cluster-fuck at first, but it seemed to come together quite well. You can get the gist of it here, but Blabbermouth has more story on it with rehearsal photos and shit. (Don’t look now, but Dave Mustaine and James Hetfield actually hugged at the end @ 4:13). Is the hatchet finally buried? I hope so.)

You can hear the new Megadeth song Sudden Death for Guitar Hero: Warriors Of Rock, from the IGN E3 2010 thing that went on a few days ago. I wish you could actually hear more of the song, but from what I hear, it sounds pretty damn good. I hope it’s available for download soon. The game looks to be pretty hard (by my standards anyway).
