 Dave Mustaine, frontman with Megadeth has posted another update on the bands forums.
Today he says "Well, another week has come and gone and we had a busy one over here in sunny
Fallbrook. I met with the record company, new merch company, talked with my
agents and band, my webmasters here and at MySpace, our DVD director, one of the
artists for the band, the publishing company, the business manager, the
attorney, the personal manager, the storekeeper, Ken (engineer on
'United Abominations'), DigiDesign, AND did interviews, while
being a daddy and husband. [Author reserves the right to a pseudo-Alzheimer
moment if I have forgotten someone.]
"The best part, though, besides my
family and my immediate inner circle, is coming here and seeing you every day
whilst I am at home. Those that I know (sorta) are even more fun to see. In the
meantime with getting the 'life in order' bit, I have found tons of old demo
tapes again, so my creative juices are flowing! Especially with everything going
on!! Touring, new releases, yikes!!! Time to start sorting out a wompazillion
files. UGH!
"Things are good with the label and we talked about what to
do next, as well as the video for whatever single we choose and what director.
We also have the making of 'United Abominations' to discuss. I also
talked to EMI about the box set (which I was listening to while writing
this morning), and to the artist for the project to wrap this release up for the
future. I love some of the really rare stuff on 'United Abominations',
and there are a few songs on the record I would skip, but they are so important
for telling the whole story of MEGADETH, that I left them in
there.
"Next was talking to the folks at Image about the remaining songs
from 'That One Night', as well as finishing up the Gigantour 2006
film featuring MEGS and LAMB OF GOD, and that meant getting my
schedule sorted stat! I am almost finished fixing my studio to do video editing
and I hope to start with Michael Sarna as soon as possible on the work in
front of us. We have so much stuff to do; CD from Image, the extra songs,
the 06 DVD, and the making of the 'United Abominations' record video, and
that's not including if we choose him to do a video again, instead of just make
films.
"We started working out our schedules for the upcoming NAMM
show, and I think it is very possible that all four of us will be there at the
same time. It would be rad to do a little private party for you Droogies through
Dean, but it would probably be a logistical nightmare.
"The
official MEGADETH eBay store will have loads o' new stuff coming in, and
I think the band guys are going to send some stuff the storekeepers' way again
soon, too.
"Lastly, for now, I can say we have about 40-50 more shows
this year, and then we break for the holidays. We are going to have a heavy
schedule for next year, and promise to try our best to see you all.
"So
now I am going back to sorting my studio and deciding which new songs to add
into our headlining set in the States. Now that we have gotten some good road
behind us, I want to keep playing stuff that exhilarates me. It is hard to
decide which songs to play or not. I may need your help again. Thankfully,
James [Lomenzo, bass] knows a lot of the back catalogue and we can
mix it up each night. I sometimes worry about the people that won't get to hear
the songs they are familiar with, instead of us taking a trip down memory lane,
deep into our catalogue.
"Well, it's time to prepare my body to darken
the doorway of a church with my shadow."
