Celebrating Good News

Today's Post Is From Our Friend HIM

There has been a ton of sad news in recent years and months. Legends like Peart dying, others getting sick, or some simply quitting the stage. Thing is, it is only going to keep happening to the musicians we love. Cue the violins.

Nah. Scratch that. I don’t want to harp on negatives right now. It is a new year and there is some good news to help us usher in 2020 with a smile. Dave Mustaine is back!

Sure, Megadeth are not glam (except for the album Cold Lake . . . oh wait, that was Celtic Frost). Sure, Dave had stuck his foot in his mouth countless times (which might or might not help with his singing . . . I kid, Dave has a ‘unique’ voice). And, sure, Megadeth opening for Foam Finger Dust Punch makes no sense in any rational world.

But, Dave is back after being diagnosed with throat cancer less than a year ago. Personally, I even like the Seamus McRattlehead look he is sporting. Dave and the Gorton’s Fisherman enter the cage . . . only one leaves!

You might not like Megadeth’s music, or Dave, or even Risk. All well and good. But I think this is news worth celebrating when it comes to music. Mustaine is ready to rock . . . and I’m buying!

Here here Him! Observe the Yin. Observe the Yang. Chill in between them.

Reminds me of a philosophical theme to a show from the good 'ol 80’s.

“Ya take the good, ya take the bad. Ya take em both and there ya have...The facts of Life. The facts of Life.

Simple

Dave is cool. Glad he’s recovered

Foam Finger Dust Punch - that just made my day... thanks Him

Peace Sellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllls, but who's buying ?? Funny how that song fits all the time no matter what party is in charge.

That is great news - I felt Dave had to go through life with this huge chip on his shoulder over mistakes made by ego and immaturity but that drove him to create some great music. I love countdown to extinction and as GNR stated the colossal Peace Sells but Who's buying!!!

Thanks HIM for the good news and Dave looks like the Grim Reaper now :)

Killarious Post, HIM! One of your finest, literally every word, so damn funny!

Having a similar reaction as GNR, I nearly snotted out my midnight snack upon reading “Foam Finger Dust Punch” ...

As far as Mustaine goes, alright, so you don’t have the 100’s of millions Metallica has but you can always be proud of the fact your music is vastly superior to theirs.

Having survived your recent scare, maybe you’ll now have the perspective that Ulrich is nothing more than an annoying flea for you to flick off your shoulder.

Though I don’t really necessarily like you personally, I hate that d*ck infinitely more, though there’s no denying both of your musical legacies, yours well above his.

Great post. Good for Dave.

Most important thing is his health and well being, of course, but if we can get a kick ass new record, well, I’m not going to complain. The last one was awesome.
