Friends!

Welcome to Gigantour 2006! I doubt I will get to meet many of you, but just know that I look forward to those of you that I do meet.

I am very proud of the bands that I have chosen this year. And although some of us are similar, most of us aren’t. One thing is that the guitarists are what makes me the proudest!

United Abominations

Email This Story To A Friend

First of all, an apology to you subscribers, this news is a few days old as I’ve been away, and the cover I arranged didn’t work out. Still, it’s exciting news all the same!

The following has been posted on Megadeth.com!

Dave Mustaine reveals all the gory details leading up to Megadeth’s new album for Roadrunner, to be titled United Abominations, in this interview posted by MTV News this morning:

When Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine named his band’s 2004 album The System Has Failed, he seemed to be commenting on the state of U.S. politics. But in retrospect, the title was dead-on for an entirely different reason: The system Mustaine depended on for his livelihood was falling apart.
