Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine To Audience: ‘Obama Staged Aurora, Sikh Temple Shootings’
  |  

During a recent Megadeth concert in Singapore, frontman Dave Mustaine went full tilt goo-goo for Satan when he asserted to a confused crowd that U.S. President Barack Obama staged the tragic shootings in both Aurora, Colorado and at The Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in Oak Creek. This, according to Mustaine, was so that the President could justify a ban on guns. In the video taken from the concert, which you can watch below, Mustaine expressly states that the President planned these murders.

“Back in my country, my President is trying to pass a gun ban so he’s staging all these murders like the Fast and Furious thing down at the border and Aurora, Colorado, and all the people who were killed there and now the beautiful people at the Sikh temple.”

Mustaine goes on to say that he doesn’t know where he’s going to live if “America keeps going the way it’s going,” stating the the country is “turning into Nazi America.” The crowd appears to disagree with Mustaine judging from the tone of its roar, which included a few boos. One audience member can even be heard shouting, “Hey, we love America!” Mustaine’s response to the crowd’s reaction: “Be quiet.”

So let’s dissect Mustaine’s claims with a few facts, lest anyone out there get the idea that these remarks are anything other than completely deranged.

$3 MP3 Album Deal: Megadeth ‘Rust In Peace’
  |  @   |  

This week, Megadeth’s Rust In Peace is on sale in MP3 format for only $2.99.

The 1990 album is, in my opinion, is Megadeth’s best (beating out Peace Sells by a very thin margin), and contains some of their most popular songs, like “Holy Wars…The Punishment Due,” and “Hanger 18,” along with some of my favorites from the band, “Take No Prisoners,” “Tornado Of Souls,” and “Rust In Peace…Polaris.”

This album is sooooo damn good, please, do yourself a favor and cough up the three bucks, it’s so worth it. Rust In Peace is also available on CD, and as a live concert DVD and Blu-ray.

Browse all 100 albums on sale this month for only $5 each, as well as several albums on sale this week for only $2.99.

GOP Seeks Headbanger For President; Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine Answers The Call
  |  

Disgusted with the rich empty suits currently in the running, the Republican Party is now looking to the world of heavy metal for the right candidate to put up as leader of the free world. RNC Chairman Reinhold Reince Priebus was quoted today, April 1, 2012, as saying, “We like Ted Nugent because he’s into guns and stuff, but Dave Mustaine is really the perfect combination of extremist vitriol and worldwide appeal. I mean, Megadeth is really popular in other countries, so it’s like a no-brainer.”

The guitar-wielding wildly-maned Mustaine responded immediately to the call of duty by putting in his bid for election. “Well it’s about fucking time the world sees what greatness I have to offer it,” the Megadeth frontman said. “I mean, America would be so lucky to have me as President because I’m the only one who knows what the fuck is really going on around here.”
