Hi Dave! You've been a true inspiration to me as a musician and a person!

I was just wondering, is there any updates you could give us about The Big Four Tour in the states? Do you have any dates in mind?

Thanks!

Hi Dave I'm from Quito Ecuador, Im the same guy from Ecuador who always write you, hope see you soon on the next tour and the Meet and Greet... my questions are these:

How is your monitor mixing on the stage? What do you listen to when you are playing on stage with the monitors and the headphones ?

If you would not have your guiter effects in your rack, which analog pedals could you choose to have in front of your amp?

thanks for your help and time

Dear Dave.

The demo of one of my songs has had really good feedback from all around the world since it was published on an internationally released compilation. The song in particular seems very promising. My band is set to record our debut album, we are at this point unsigned. What should we do from here in terms of getting our stuff out there?

Cheers,

Duncan. P.S. I met you at Gigantour 2008 outside the Thebarton Theater in Adelaide. I understand if you don't remember though.

Thank you for all the music sir!

Dave (too familiar to address you as "Dave"?),

VERY cool of you to do this. I've been a fan of yours for many years, and can honestly and unabashedly cite you as one of my primary influences as a musician and a guitarist.

Given that I'm only one of very, very many people you've not only entertained but influenced as a player, I'd like to ask what it's like to know that you've left an indelible mark on the western music lexicon?

I don't mean to be verbose but I think Megadeth's contribution is significant...

Thanks so much for doing this Q&A Dave, and it was a pleasure to meet you at the User Group Day we had a few years back.

Anyways, if you could do an album that is a total departure from all of the Megadeth stuff, something where you'd have all kinds of different artist playing with you, be it different drummers, singers, guitar players, bass players, or whatever and doing different styles of music.......Who would you like to be on that album with you?

thanks man!!

It would be nice to know what inspired you to write the beautiful song "The Hardest Part of Letting Go...Sealed With a Kiss"?

Re: Live - Q&A with Dave Mustaine 4/13/10 - ASK QUESTIONS HERE

Hi Mr. Mustaine, I was wondering a couple of things about songwriting...since most here will cover gear
and really, I could have all your rig and not write a song like you do.

How do you consistently write music? And how do you keep it from going stale?
I find that even if you've been around and released tons of albums over the
years, and changed the sound of the band, had new members here and there, you still write music on a
constant basis. I find that I can come up with a great song, but then it'll be weeks until
I can pen another one that's halfway decent. Is there a certain mindset you have when you write?

BTW, I can't wait to see you guys here in Costa Rica. That's going to be a killer show, specially with
Chris Broderick and you playing guitar! Thanks!

if it takes weeks between you writing good songs, then i would obviously wait until a few weeks have gone by

That “Top Secret” project of yours... When is it going to be released?
Can’t you give us a hint on what it is? Please

Re: Live - Q&A with Dave Mustaine 4/13/10 - ASK QUESTIONS HERE

As a bass player I always pay attention to the melodies and bass lines of Megadeath songs, but it´s so fu... hard. When you guys compose that damm good songs?

Hi, Dave

We ****in love you
God bless you and god bless MEGADETH.

Questions:

-> When are the originals going to be re-released?
-> Would you be interested to work with Jeff Waters or Slash in the near future?
-> When are you guys coming to the UK? Are you going to play the entire RIP record there?

Thanks Dave.

\MEGADETH/

we might play RIP in the UK, and I like Slash a lot.

Hey Dave, I was wondering if you have any idea on future Rock Band/Guitar Hero releases? Specifically Countdown to Extinction, my friend was wondering.

Also, do you have any idea if the "Big 4" tour will be coming to Australia?

Re: Live - Q&A with Dave Mustaine 4/13/10 - ASK QUESTIONS HERE

Hi Dave, I was wondering if you’ve ever considered doing a concept album? I know it doesn’t really seem like a Megadeth sorta thing, not sure how it would work, but I know you could come up with something really killer if you wanted to do one!

Saw you guys in Memphis, TN last month and you were AMAZING! Loved the show so much! Thanks and God bless!

not a big fan of concept records.

Re: Live - Q&A with Dave Mustaine 4/13/10 - ASK QUESTIONS HERE

Hi Dave,


First off, I gotta say I'm a huge fan of not only your music but the way you approach the guitar. It's really inspiring. I started playing about a year and a half ago - which is around the first time I began listening to Megadeth - and I haven't stopped for a day since. Your determination and perseverance throughout your career is really inspiring to me, and it makes me want to keep at what I love doing even if things are really hard in life. Thank you.

The only real problem I'm having now is finding people to play with! It seems no one likes good music around where I live and it's really discouraging if you're trying to make a band with specific tastes in mind. What would you suggest I do?

Thanks again for all the great music throughout the year and generally making my life better.

Chris. N
