Megadeth

Despite his recent health issues, Lemmy is gearing up to rock and roll on the high seas -- all aboard the SS Motorhead!!

What should have been a fairly straightforward trip to Australia has unraveled into controversy and social media finger-pointing between Megadeth and the promoter of the Soundwave Festival, with the band's Australian fans caught in the middle.

If you've been struggling over who to support in the rumored Megadeth/Jason Newsted feud, take it easy. According to a rep for Megadeth, the rumors surrounding Newsted's recent exit from the Megadeth tour aren't true.

Given that they are both former members of Metallica, one would think Dave Mustaine and Jason Newsted would get along famously. However, that appears not to be the case, as we learn that Newsted's self-titled band has been thrown off an Australian tour by headliners Megadeth.

With two former members of Metallica touring the continent together as part of Gigantour 2013, it was pretty much a given that Megadeth's Dave Mustaine and Jason Newsted would share a stage at some point. It took a while, but that collaboration finally took place last night (Aug. 11) in Toronto.

Megadeth's new 'Super Collider' album found the band recording outside material for the first time since 1988. And they chose wisely, reaching into Thin Lizzy's vaults to cover the band's classic 'Cold Sweat.'

Given that he founded Megadeth, it would seem safe to assume that death has never exactly been far from Dave Mustaine's mind. But lately, it seems as though he's been even more focused on mortality -- specifically his own.

The tension between Metallica and their former member / Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine lasted nearly three decades, before its apparent conclusion as the musicians shared the stage in 2010 to perform Diamond Head's 'Am I Evil?'

After Metallica frontman James Hetfield recently called Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine a 'big mouth' for publicly stating that he'd like to form a Metallica / Megadeth supergroup, Mustaine has now apologized to Hetfield, promising that he'll never speak of the subject again.

A friendly rivalry, trying to be better than the next guy — members of Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer all have a slightly different way to describe their relationship with one another back in the day. They’re on good terms lately, proven by the fact they’ve shared the same concert stage this year in California and New York, collectively billed as the Big 4. And while the metal bands are s

Roadrunner Records In 1984′s ‘This Is Spinal Tap,’ fictional guitarist Nigel Tufnel coined a lasting rock ‘n’ roll phrase when he revealed a special amplifier with volume dials that, in his words, “go to eleven.” Well, in November, Megadeth is going all the way to ‘TH1RT3EN.’ And although you’ll still have to wait until then to hear it, you can have a look at the album cover now.

It should be good and loud, just like the first time. On Sept. 12, a second ‘Metal Masters Clinic’ is set to commence, this time at the Best Buy Theater in Manhattan’s Times Square. Members from Anthrax, Megadeth and Slayer — three of the legendary “Big 4″ thrash-metal bands that will rock Yankee Stadium two days after the clinic — will be on hand to share anecdotes and rattle the rafters.
