David Ellefson has made his way back to Megadeth, after eight years.

In a press release on their official website, the guys announced the bassist’s return to the band he helped found in 1983. (continue reading…)

In the longest running feud in forever, Dave Mustaine has finally shed some light on why he was kicked out of Metallica.

In a new interview, he said that it wasn’t just an issue over his drinking that was to blame for his dismissal. He reveals that James Hetfield kicked his dog! What an ape. (continue reading…)

Slayer was forced to cancel their Australian concert on Sunday when Tom Araya came down with laryngitis. They are currently down under to tour with Megadeth.

Saturday night, Araya was on stage when he discovered that he lost his voice and was unable to sing. The other members of the band stepped in to sing so they could finish the show.

Of the news, Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine said, “I was saddened to hear that Tom Araya won’t be able to perform. They are going to proceed to Perth to wait for us and the last show here in Australia.”

The last show is set for Tuesday night. I hope he’s up to it.

Get well soon, Tom!!

Megadeth’s producer, Andy Sneap, talks here about the new upcoming Megadeth album, along with the mixing process.

The album, still untitled (?) marks the band’s eleventh studio album to date and is due out sometime in September, 2009.

Dave Mustaine has just updated the band’s official MySpace page yesterday with this:

Droogies!

I am so excited to know that in less than 48 hours I am going to be jamming with my band and getting ready to start the next world tour.

Even though this bit is really early, we are doing these four shows with Slayer in the hopes that the rest of the world will sit up and take notice.

Well . . . they have.

I’m happy to say that we are starting to talk about upcoming shows with our old friends, and co-founders of the American metal scene and one of the other Four Horsemen, as well as another show or so with Pals Judas Priest, and only Lucretia knows who will be on this year/next year’s Gigantours.

Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine has filed for divorce for the second time.

He submitted papers seeking a legal separation from his wife of 17-years, Pamela in San Diego Superior Court on February 28th. He last filed for divorce in 2006, but soon changed his mind.

He was chatting online with fans on the Gigantour forum on February 20th and said, “I am losing my marriage so I am done touring after this so I can move on with my life. I just have had my heart broken and I live for my two children and you (fans) now.”

He added, “I had to shut the Megadeth eBay store because it was one of my future ex’s friends and she told me I wasn’t a good enough Christian and also sent money to someone that claimed I owed her month. I flipped and that was it. Two days later I was in Finland and heading for divorce.”

The couple have two children, Justis and Electra.

Dave Mustaine is selling coffee, as you already know. The brand, Legends Cup, has helped him raise money to give toys to children whose parents are deployed in Iraq or who were killed there.

My hat (if I wore one) is off to Dave. Dave teamed up with Hasbro toys after fans helped him raise cash to buy gifts for military kids.

In the website message to fans, the thrilled rocker says, “None of this would be possible without your support of Legends Cup Coffee Cup. Thank you guys, I really, really mean it.”

Keep rockin’ Dave, you’re awesome!

Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine has launched his own brand of coffee. The rocker is selling limited edition bags of the hot beverage, grown by small-scale organic farmers, for $39.99 for an autographed bag. He says, “The is the coffee that gets me up in the morning and keeps me shreddin’ all day long.”

Right on! I didn’t see any details as to where to purchase this coffee….so if anyone knows, please leave a comment.

I wrote about how Dave Mustaine was/is looking for personal assistants via his forums two month ago. One fan was more than happy to oblige by winning the opportunity to be Dave’s go-to guy for a day.

He recalls his story here, and from what I see Dave Mustaine cares about his health, the band’s show, and his fans.

Here’s a snippet:

What does he do… grabs some food and sits right across from me. The first words out of his mouth
are an apology to me for when I knocked on the door at 5:00pm to get some CD’s signed and he not realizing it was
already 5:00pm. This is the first of many conversations and exchanges I witness throughout the evening that shows
the kind of person Mustaine really is to his fans. Kind, considerate and humble. Let’s call it what is… Dave’s the
frontman for one of the most famous metal bands of all-time and he didn’t have to even acknowledge who I was…
let alone apologize to me and make sure I felt a part of the team.
