Dave doesn’t like being called a ‘lady’

Jimmy Kimmel sent some Mexican guy to the Grammys and the joke was “a rose for the lady” being said over and over again while that dude was handing out roses. Hilarious, right? Indeed, original too. Genius.

Anyway, the dude went to Dave Mustaine with the same great joke and Dave was not amused. Dave‘s response? “Fuck you! Go away!” then he shoved that guy and threw the rose at the camera.

I can’t say I blame him. He’s there representing metal. You can’t do that to the guy who co-founded two of the Big Four. But Dave, you could have handled it a bit better. Like, I don’t know, saying “Thank you” then headbutting him in his mustache? The possibilities are endless. Aren’t you trained in karate? How about a roundhouse kick?

Interview: David Ellefson (Megadeth)

David came back in Megadeth a year ago, and what has he been doing since? Umm, I don’t know, just KICKING MAJOR ASS around the globe and writing a new Megadeth album.

But what can fans expect from the new album, what does he think of ‘Endgame‘ and did he really see me in the crowd at the Sofia gig? Well, only one way to find out.

Ladies and metalheads…  My interview with David Ellefson, after the jump!

Dave likes Peace Sells… But who doesn’t?

It’s a beautiful Saturday morning here. I’m eating countless bowls of Lucky Charms with midget porn playing in the background. I’m also on my laptop trying to steal searching for metal news.  Well, I found something that might interest you,  but only if you enjoy seeing good bands live.

Megadeth might have a 25th Anniversary tour for Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying.

Dave Mustaine tells VH1 Radio

“We’ve already had people talk to us about doing that and I told our manager that I’m totally interested in doing Peace Sells for a 25th anniversary this year, but I don’t want to do it all year like we did with Rust in Peace. I want to do it towards the end of the year. So we’ll do the whole year doing our thing and then come around October, where the end of the year is, you’ve got a quarter of the year left, October, November and December, where we can do the Peace Sells thing.“

Megadeth rule live.  I really don’t think anyone should miss seeing them in concert later in the year.

The Big Four love each other. Cue laugh track.

If you’re in the mood for a quick laugh, check out this excerpt I stole from Blabbermouth got from a recent Scott Ian interview. He’s explaining The Big Four tour.

“This isn’t a manufactured thing put together by management or record companies or anything like that. This is put together because these four bands have all been around for so long. We’re still at the top of our game and we all really get along well, and really do love each other, as lame as that sounds for a bunch of metal dudes.“

Read full interview here.

I’ll suspend my disbelief about the ‘manufactured’ part, I’ll pretend I didn’t read the ‘top of our game’ part, but I can’t take the ‘love’ part seriously.

All you have to do is do a quick search on Blabbermouth, and you’ll see how much these four bands love each other. Granted it was never Scott or anyone else from Anthrax doing the ‘loving’ in the press, but still, these bands tolerate each other at best, in my opinion.

I don’t want to make assumptions about people I haven’t met and things I don’t know about. I think it’s great that this Big Four thing is finally happening and I applaud them for ending their feuds, but this whole “ah, we’re all BFFs and are doing this cause we love each other” thing is pretty hard to take seriously. Especially after reading stuff like this.

But, what do I know? Last night I forgot to wipe after a messy shit and woke up with my underwear looking like one of those Rorschach inkblot tests.

1/2 of Big Four do bass clinics

The other David in Megadeth (you know, the nice one) is joining forces with Anthrax‘s Frank Bello for two Hartke bass clinics. What are bass clinics? We don’t know either.

Anyway, they will happen later next month (25th and 26th) in New York and Boston. The first one is free, the second one isn’t. But hey, you can win some shit, so why not? One of the prizes… The Big Four DVD… Hmm, I wonder who they got the idea from? Hint hint.

So everyone associated with The Big Four is busy nowadays, huh? That’s good to know… Someone needs to show the world music used to be done with real instruments, not with Macbooks.

We stole got this news from Blabbermouth, so go here for more details. We also stole got the poster, make the jump to see it.
