From what I have comprehended from posts by Dave Mustaine, it seems that “Greatest Hits: Back To The Start” will not feature songs from “The World Needs A Hero” or “The System Has Failed”.

The way I have come to this conclusion is the following:
Dave said that the album would go from The Mechanix (oldest song on there) to Kick The Chair(newest song on there)

Dave then changed this, saying that Kill The King would be the last song on the record (the last ever Capitol album song)

As previously mentioned by this site, and this site only, (Rattlehead HQ’s Meeting Story section) after Glen told me about this guitar personally, Glen Drover has announced that ESP has plans for a signature M-1000 model.

The GDM-1000 will feature Glen’s exact custom specifications, and is planned for release some time next year.

The following is a post made by Glen on the Megadeth forums:

Droogies and She-Wolves!

This weekend is very special for me, and while it may not be for some of you, I still want to wish you a Happy Easter weekend.

I am going with the kids again, you guessed it, freezing in the surf. But at least we are all getting better, so I can go a little farther outside. I am still uncomfortable while Electra is in the water to go out too far, but she’s actually standing up and starting to turn her board.

Dave Mustaine has posted on the Megadeth Forums, addressing the issues of the upcoming American tour rumours and the future of Megadeth.

he says he has made a decision, and will be releasing a statement once all of the work for his decision has been carried out. This fan is hoping that Megadeth stays alive and well!

And so, without further ado, here is the post

Droogies and She-wolves!

I am dragging the old Samsonite Oyster back up the stairs to start putting all my road gear, hygiene crud, books, and nutrients in. And I am stoked to be in the last week countdown!

I look forward to seeing all of the wonderful Japanese fans, especially Kaori, Yuki, and all the guys and gals that come to the hotel and train stations. I know that the boys are gonna freak when they see how awesome the fans love is for this band and how they will travel with us from city to city.

James MacDonough has assembled a “Blackmail The Universe Tour Gallery” which is available for viewing over at the official Megadeth website.

He made the following post concerning the gallery:

New Picture Section

——————————————————————————–

Hey guys!! I’m happy to announce that a new section will be added in the next few days on the home page. MegaDave and I talked about it and he’s stoked on the idea. I’ll have four different sections and will add to them on the road, also giving credit to different people who took them. There will be sections for On Stage, Antics and People, Places & Scenery, and a personal folder. The on stage shots are awesome and were taken in the pit by Lance and Suzy. Thanks to Dave McRobb for doing all the work on this. I hope you enjoy, James

In a posting on the Official Megadeth Forums, Dave Mustaine has said that the upcoming Megadeth Greatest Hits album, the tracklist of which was chosen by the fans, will be called “Greatest Hits: Back To The Start,” becuase of the order of the tracks being in reverse chronological order.

Here is the entire post:

Good Morning!

Droogies and She-Wolves!

Up very early today and off for a full plate of events. I have to go by two shops to do some haggling, and meet with John Leeder tonight, and other than that, it is another day of gym, surfing, and hanging with my family.

In a posting on the “Dave Speaks” section of the Megadeth Forums, Dave Mustaine has said that he has approved the artwork for the upcoming Greatest Hits, and is in the final process of completing the upcoming “DVD from Hell”

Last night and this weekend

——————————————————————————–

Droogies and She-wolves!

Last night I went with Pam, Trevor Davis, and his day-2-day guy Andrew, to go see this dude named Jon Brion at Largos up in LA. What a trip!! It was absolutely genius, but really frightening at the time too, because he was such a mad genius. I would recommend if you are open to anything besides shredding, and you are in LA on a Friday night, go see this possessed man.

Dave Mustaine has posted the following message on his Dave speaks seciton of the Megadeth Forums concerning the impossibility to add extra dates to the Aus/Japan tour, future touring plans, and adding a second stage to the Rattlehead HQ proclaimed “Mega-Fest!”, featuring Diamond Head.

So, read on and Enjoy!

3/15 update
Droogies and She-wolves!

Yesterday I found out that the tour down under ends after Japan and Australia. I am very disappointed to say this because I was looking forward to going back to New Zealand, hopefully meeting up with Neil Finn, going back to Indonesia, and going to Singapore for the first time.
