Dave Mustaine of Megadeth joins us for an exclusive interview, diving into the band's new self-titled album and the powerful global cinema experience, 'Megadeth: Behind the Mask'. Dave reflects on Megadeth's 40-year legacy, what this final album represents personally and professionally, and why now was the right time to tell the band's story this way.
We also talk touring, and Megadeth's long, loud, and rowdy relationship with Columbus, Ohio — a city Dave says always brings the chaos in the best way. He shares his favorite way to quiet his mind offstage, his upcoming memoir and the connection with Megadeth fans that has fueled the band for decades.
Megadeth's 17th studio album simply titled "Megadeth" is set to come out this Friday, January 23. This will be the bands final album and is tied into their farewell tour and will be released in conjunction with a special global cinema experience of "Megadeth Behind the Mask" happening this Thursday January 22!
