This week I'd like to talk about happiness. I am talking about the kind of happiness that brings you pure joy and a feeling of contentment.
Feelings of happiness can depend on many things. First, we need to feel safe and secure and have our physical needs met. After this, we can focus on our emotions and feelings. Happiness and joy arrive when we feel a sense of love, purpose and belonging.
As a cancer survivor, stress and anxiety can sneak up on you and put a damper on your level of happiness. You may have good days and bad days as you physically and emotionally deal with treatment, side effects, recovery and anxiety about your future.
Sometimes the anxiety and worry about cancer takes over your thoughts — this is normal. However, instead of hanging on to the negative thoughts, try this. Every day set aside 10-15 minutes, you might call it your worry time, and focus on your main concerns. Write your worries down in a journal or talk about them with someone else. Recognize them as things you can't control and then move on to more positive thoughts. This puts anxiety in its place and still allows you time to get the negative thoughts out of your mind.
The goal is to have more positive, happy days instead of days filled with sadness and negative emotions. Here are a few ideas to help guide you:
Everyone has moments of uncertainty, this makes us human. However, finding your own sense of happiness can make a liberating difference. What is happiness to you?

Theresa, I think that your feelings are quite normal after having the stress of a cancer diagnosis and going through treatment. Time becomes so precious and dear to you. When you are ready for a new relationship, you will know it and have the sense that it is the right time. Listen to your heart on this one and take all of the time you need to be in the right place to share your heart and emotions with someone again.
hello, I had breast cancer. Went through the chemo and radiation and I am o.k. for now. I am having a hard time dating and being in a relationship. I have this overwhelming feeling of people Not wasting any of my precious time in life! im sooo worried about someone breaking my heart and the relationship not working out and in the end wasting my time in my life. I just want to know if its normal? I know the chemo had made me enter menopause early, so i dont know if its a normal feeling or if its my overacting emotions i have now? please answer..thanks!
How do you reach the unreachable? Good advice does seem to have a way of appearing simplistic and unattainable when you are in the throes of distress. I feel bad for Joo, not only for the diagnosis but for the seeming lack of acceptance and gratitude that there are a few more years of life. There is at least time to make plans that are denied many times to those who die suddenly. There are no guarantees how long any of us will live. Therefore, why so much anger? Negative energy will not help your situation. My experience has been that taking things in small steps helps rather than looking at the overall picture which may be too overwhelming. Karen's reply was spot on. Focus on what you can do. You may think this too is a "well intentioned load of crap" from someone who has not experienced your diagnosis. I have, however, experienced a diagnosis of Stage IV Lymphoma and been through chemotherapy five times in the last six years. I hope you will find a way to make peace with your situation.
Tell how to have a moment of happiness when you sit and wait for a liver donor, while your liver has now been diagnosed w/cancer which moved the recipient up to first or second place and you have already been away from home leaving a young daughter in someone else's care because of having to reside in an area where there is a better chance of getting a liver...and there is no one, neither family nor friend who can give you respite or relief..& meanwhile praying the cancer stays just in the liver.
For me I looked at my choice. No to treatment and I would die. Have treatment and live or die. I choice treatment .... someday I will die. I stopped feeling guilty about opened a new world of humor and fun replacing a world of What If. Have 2 types of cancer and being watched for another but life has never been better while dealing with the problems and not be denial.
I appreciate all of the perspectives on this topic...finding joy and happiness in the midst of a diagnosis of cancer is not easy. I also understand the anger and emotions that must be felt and expressed. If we can find and connect with our core values and the things that mean the most to us, that is what's important during this time. For Joo and others it's family and children that are the focus of strength to keep fighting, be a source of love and bring purpose. Reconnecting with your sense of spirituality can also be a source of strength to help you reflect on personal meaning and purpose in life.
....and I just thought, what makes me happy? Sounds kind of funny, but right now, eating yummy things makes me happy! Yes, my cardiologist says to take off a few pounds (I have damage from adriamyacin), and I have, but I enjoy good food. My reasoning is that I know how crappy it was when I was on chemo, I "forced" myself to eat, but could care less. I plan on enjoying the "activity" (within limits, of course!) of eating while it is pleasureable. There will probably be a cancer reoccurence in my future, so I will not deny myself the pleasure of some treats while I can enjoy them.
Wow, after reading these comments, I can see there are a lot of people out there that haven't figured out how to "live thru" a cancer diagnosis. I don't claim to have any answers,especially being devasted as a 2 time breast cancer survivor, only a few years ago to be diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer (The doctor told me with chemo he could stretch out my "cancer free" time, but I was not curable.)I can only "live" sanely with the help of anti-depresseants and anti-anxiety drugs. To those of you that are against using any type of drugs, I say just think of all that POISON chemo that has fought against your cancer. This therapy allows me to have more time to enjoy what life I have, and LESS woe is me time. Hey, whatever works.....
Prayer brings me through this life's crushes. My hope, help and happiness go beyond this life to eternity with God.
my heart goes out to JOO , an honest realist..but prayers brought me through darkness..I offer mine to him.
I think that having epilepsy for all my life (74 years so far) taught me what you have said so well. When I was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in 2009 and Tuberous Sclerosis (benign cancer) on the Brain; I had learned to value each day to the best of my abilities and change topics or games, etc. when the going got harder. Today it's still "one day at a time, enjoy it as best you can and try to live within your means."
I don't know if the author has had cancer or not, nor do I care. She's spot on in her advice. Is it easy to follow? No. But well worth the effort to try. I'm almost three years past treatment for my third cancer. Each time there have been dire prognoses, and each time I've disciplined myself to focus on what really matters and tried to avoid the "poor me" stuff. The best thing that's happened is that I've learned to (most of the time) look outside myself and tried to emphasize the life lessons I can model for my kids and their kids. Erma Bombeck wrote a lovely piece near the end of her life about the choices she'd made that gave me inspiration.
This author never had cancer. You can't pick 15 minutes of a day for worry. Worry comes at all times of day. I had cancer, then a miss diagnosis of multiple masses and given 4-6 weeks to live This was 17 months ago. My oncologist said the Er. doctor had no right to diagnose cancer from a ct. scan. I was cancer free. I should be fine right ? Wrong. I have nightmares, anxiety, panic attacks. I was told by a family member who is a doctor that I have PTSD. I can't remember words to form a sentence, called a pink flower yellow, realized it was pink, but couldn't say the word. Before cancer I was working part time, took care of my family and had no medical problems at all. My world came crashing down and I can't seem to get it back.
This author meant well, but this advise won't work for me.
This is good advice for those who are "surviving". For those like Joo with only a short life expectancy, I would like to say no one can make the pain of the loss of the future you thought you had go away. Focus on things you can do and don't worry about things out of your control. Material things will work out. Your children will find a way to attend college. Since you are a professional, ask your co-workers to set up a fund to provide for your children's future. For yourself, look for clinical trials. I recently read a story about a woman with lung cancer that fought for treatment and is still alive years after her diagnosis. Seek comfort from your spiritual resources. God bless.
Was just wondering if you guys have done any study as far as what marijuana would do for cancer patients????
While well intentioned this is a load of crap.
The author has clearly never had Stage III or IV lung cancer diagnosis where the 5 year survival rate is well below 10%. At one moment you go from an engaged middle aged professional with kids in school or college - and then thrown into the extremely unlikely prospect of getting an additional few years in life. The issues are devastatingly serious (e.g. how will I provide for my family, what about my kids in college, etc.) and cant be managed away by thinking only dark thoughts 15 mins/day and then being "Que sera, sera" the rest of the time. Imbecilic.
It is a dark and heavy shroud that descends down and cant be lifted by any mind tricks.
Mindfulness is mindlessness.
The author clearly hasnt lived the true case but has "read about it". And dont tell me about breast cancer or prostate cancer survivors - their 5 year survival rate is >85% so there is no comparison so they dont count.
A stage IIIb lung cancer patient.

"I read a lot of good reviews on these shoes and they lived up to their recommendations. I have very sensitive feet and have a hard time getting used to new shoes - but I was able to wear these a full day without any discomfort. I like that you can adjust both the ankle and toe straps. The bottom extends beyond your feet, but that seemed to make them more comfortable."

Pretty...uncomfortable that is!
"This shoe is beautiful but very uncomfortable. I couldn't wait to get this in the mail because unfortunately I couldn't find it in any of the stores near me which would have saved me a lot of time. I returned it to the nearest DSW within an hour of receiving it. I ordered my normal size and it was at least a half-size short if not more. I normally wear high heels but felt like I was walking on the floor because the shoe was so hard and unforgiving. Picture me sad. But I went right online and ordered 2 different pairs. Yea!"

Canada's Bansley and Maloney win gold at beach volleyball international
GUATEMALA CITY – Heather Bansley and Liz Maloney of Toronto strung together three wins on Sunday to win the gold medal at the second stop on the NORCECA (North and Central America, and Caribbean) beach volleyball circuit.
The Canadians defeated Grin Grey and Jennifer Snyder of the U.S., 21-18, 21-16 in the championship final to finish the tournament with a perfect 6-0 record.
Earlier Sunday, they defeated Costa Ricans Ingrid Morales and Natalia Alfaro 25-23, 21-17 in the quarterfinal and Mexicans Martha Revuelta and Diana Estrada 21-15, 17-21, 15-10 in the semis.
"We struggled at the beginning of the day,'' said Bansley. ''But we were patient in the final match and it worked well for us". The pair took bronze at the season opener last month.
In men's competition, Christian Redmann of Toronto and Ben Saxton of Calgary won the bronze medal defeating Roberto Rodriguez and Christopher Underwood of Puerto Rico 21-15, 22-20. The Canadians lost to Karel Peña and Javier Jimenez of Cuba 21-16, 21-15 in the semifinal.
''The Cubans were a young and very athletic team and we came out a little flat against them and never could recover,'' said Redmann.
Cuba lost in the final to Juan Virgen and Aldo Miramontes of Mexico 21-19, 20-22, 15-8.
Maverick Hatch of Comox, B.C., and Sam Schachter of Toronto took fifth spot.
It's the second event in a row Canada has struck gold on the circuit this season. At the season opener last month, Josh Binstock and Richard Van Huizen of Toronto took the men's gold.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Spacious apartment, 4 good beds, 5th bed is a moderate stretcher.
Beautiful location relative to the old city, about 3.5 km walk.
Plumbing is very dated, shower rod must be replaced.
Not luxury but complete, but we are not going for luxury.
Ruim appartement, 4 goede bedden, het 5e bed is een matig stretcher.
Mooi ligging tov de oude stad, ongeveer 3,5 km lopen.
Sanitair is zeer gedateerd, douche stang mag wel vervangen worden.
Niet luxe maar wel compleet, maar wij gaan ook niet voor luxe.
Apartment ideally located 15 minutes walk from the old town, quiet. With children's park, amenities ... convenient for family of 5. Comfortable with 2 bathrooms. Just humidity chamber and the bottom of the bathroom, but is solved by airing. An address to keep! And the reception is very friendly
Appartement idéalement situé à 15 minutes à pied de la vieille ville, au calme. Avec parc pour enfants, commodités...pratique pour famille de 5 personnes. Tout confort avec 2 salles de bain. Juste humidité dans chambre et salle de bain du fond, mais se résout en aérant régulièrement . Une adresse à garder! Et l'accueil est très sympathique
Unlike previous accommodation in Jerusalem. Not very happy about this accomodatie.De accommodation was not ready nop the appointed time, we waited about half an hour. There was a lot of piece, mold in the pans, smelly quilts without cover, 1 pillow without demolition, not enough chairs for 6 people, dirty cutlery, dirty dishes, a lot of clutter around the house. 1 plus it was 10 minutes from the Mamila garage where she walked in as the Jaffa Gate. First was the cleaning, then celebrated holiday. It is described in the ad as "sunny apartment" but there's only noon as sunshine.
In tegenstelling tot de vorige accomodatie in Jeruzalem. Niet erg tevreden over deze accomodatie.De accomodatie was niet klaar nop de afgesproken tijd, we hebben ongeveer een half uur gewacht. Er was veel stuk, schimmel in de pannen, stinkende dekbedden zonder hoes, 1 kussen zonder sloop, te weinig stoelen voor 6 personen, vies bestek, vuile borden, veel rommel om het huis. 1 pluspunt het lag op 10 autominuten van de Mamila parkeergarage vanwaar ze zo de Jaffapoort in liep. Eerst aan de schoonmaak geweest, toen vakantie gevierd. Het wordt omschreven in de advertentie als "zonnig appartement" maar er is alleen 's middags even zon.
We had a very good time in Jerusalem, The apartment is very spacy and the neighbourhood really makes you feel "at home" in Jerusalem. Chana who is the manager was very attentive and communication (apparently she is a native speaker of English) was perfect. The patio is nice and big, although we couldn't use it as often as we would have hoped (as of late October/early November 2014 there is a construction site right beside the apartment so it was quite noisy in the mornings; and too cold and even rainy in the evenings). Having a washing machine and dryer was extremely helpful for us (family of five). Location is ideal, close to King David street (rental car return) and within 10-15 min walking distance from Jaffa gate. Also the Ben Yehuda/Yaffo street can be reached on foot. A small convenience store is located around the corner in Jabotinsky street, larger ones are on Keren Hayesod. For families with children, there is also a nice playground between Jabotinsky and Keren Hayesod.
Nice apartment with very good equipment.
Something construction noise due to construction in the area.
Schöne Wohnung mit sehr guter Ausstattung.
Etwas Baulärm wegen Bauarbeiten im Umfeld.
Nice big and bright apartment in a quiet area (although of course there are city noises) - and perfectly situated near the old town and restaurants.
Dejlig stor og lys lejlighed i stille område (selvom der selvfølgelig er storbylyde) - og perfekt beliggende tæt ved den gamle bydel og restauranter.
Great hosts with great service. Always available either by personal visit, mail or phone. The apartment was at a perfect location and had everything we needed for our stay to be as pleasant as possible.
Cozy apartment with 25 min. walk to Jaffa gate. Lots of beds, good air conditioning, cozy terrace.
Fin lejlighed med 25 min. gang til Jaffa gate. Masser af sovepladser, god aircondition, hyggelig terrasse.
Apartment is well located (15' walking distance from Jabotinsky to Yafo Gate) and quite clean. For information, if you believe that sheets are dirty, it is unfair. Those keep dryer's moisture odor once cycle is off.
Chana, who's in charge of greeting customers and logistics, is great !
I highly recomand it.
We have felt ourselves very well. The decor of the apartment is good and plentiful, everything there that you need.
and: the manager Chana Lyss is an angel!
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt .Die Ausstattung der Wohnung ist gut und reichlich, Alles da was man braucht.

Lush Dress | BAPE Watch | Zara Wedges
This season has been all about the color. I love color blocking and color mixing when I see it on other girls, but in my everyday life, it's been a tough thing for me to put together and let it feel natural. So, here is my attempt at it. I love the bright fuchsia and cherry red set against a neutral, creamy palette. I kept my shoes on the neutral side as well. My wedges are a pale pastel pink with a coral strap. I am going to to try to wear this outfit again, but next time push myself to color block in my accessories as well. I have been on the search for a fun pop color pump. Since it is more of a fashion style because of the color, I am definitely looking into an affordable option that would not break the bank. I was thinking of trying these Steve Madden or Aldo Heels. Also, a bright clutch or handbag could liven the outfit a bit more. I am gravitating toward this ASOS Clutch or this Zara Mini Messenger. So good, right? Or I could mix in a bright pop with my jewelry. I'm really loving these Topshop Earrings and Nasty Gal Cuff (but not necessarily together). I'll let you know how it all goes.

Great for skirts
"I found these in store on clearance. They only had one pair left and though it was a smaller size than I'm used to, it fit and was remarkably comfortable. I had been looking for a pair of black flats that would go with gold instead of silver and was delighted to find these."

"Great shoe and very comfy. The only down fall is that they run 1/2 size too big. I will buy more in other colors hope they will make more colors."

Grown throughout Asia, the Mediterranean and in California, pomegranates are oval red fruit with edible seeds. If you're a fan of these ruby red seeds, you need to act fast. In this country, pomegranates are available only in October and November.
Yes, it takes a few extra minutes to extract the bright red seeds of a pomegranate, but their sparkling sweet-tart flavor makes it all worthwhile. To get at the seeds, cut pomegranate in half and dig the seeds out with a spoon, removing any light-colored membrane that may adhere.

Fashion has always tracked and echoed trends in art, from the heavily corseted S-curved silhouettes that reflected Art Nouveau interpretation of the female form early in the twentieth century to the first uncorseted, boxy silhouette that followed in the 1920s, and to the streamlined, body-hugging dresses of the 1930s. The relationship between the two has always been coactive, one always inspiring the other and vice versa. And now more than ever have the two almost become one singular point of view that single-handedly expresses how eclectic everything has become. Modern has merged with classic, minimal has taken cues from grunge, denim has invaded workwear–the list goes on. We came across this editorial out of Zoo Magazine showcasing the modern day marriage of art and fashion. Styled in the latest designs of the day including denim–the textile of the day–the two worlds come together seamlessly and perfectly. Here are some of our favorite shots from the spread:

Hey, Scorps! I've always been very intrigued by the song Diadems, not only because of the lyrics but because of the sound of it, too. I wanted to know, what inspired it? Has it been played live?
Keep rocking! Agustina, from Argentina :)
Hi Agustina, the 1990 movie "Ghost" inspired Dave Mustaine to write the song "Diadems".
- 06/04/2012
How do you keep songs you've played a gazillion times fresh? Songs like Holy Wars/Punishment Due, Hangar 18, In my darkest hour etc. You guys always kill it live and I know you guys try to play what us fans want to hear but I was just curious if you every get tired of playing a song each night out.
Thanks for the life time of great music!
A great song is still a great song, no matter how many times you've played it!!

Hi there.
I was just wondering, does the band ever stray from concert pitch? Do they use any altered tunnings ever? I know Chris once said in an interveiw he uses the same guitar from start to finnish in a show unless something goes wrong.
Lu-Jean Wickens
Hi Lu-Jean Wickens, the band only uses standard A440 concert pitch.

Hi Scorpion,
I was wondering if it would be possible that in the next tour to México, Megadeth could play Countdown To Extinction album? I heard they are playing it in Chile.
Greetings from México, Jorge.
Hello Jorge,
It has just been announced that Megadeth will be playing two shows in Mexico, one in Mexico City on September 19 and the other in Guadalajara on September 21. The band will be playing the entire "Countdown To Extinction" album at both these shows!
The band will also be playing the "CTE" album in its entirety in Santiago, Chile on September 7, Buenos Aires, Argentina on Sept 14 and Cordoba, Argentina on September 16!
- 04/24/2012
Hi, that's a cool name. I'm wondering if they write songs wherever or only in the studio and if there's a certain time that feels more creative where songs just come to them? Like a full moon or late at night? Thanks. Ann. Minnesota misses them :-(
Hello Ann,
Some of the Megadeth's song ideas come at sound check during shows, some backstage, some of them hit on their own when they are away from the band setting, too. You never know when inspiration will hit so the guys try to record all ideas and keep them. This could be either with a tape recorder, filming it on video, etc. The important thing for them is to keep all ideas because you never know when they may be just right for a particular album or song. "New World Order", "Black Swan" and "Millenium of the Blind" would all be examples of songs that were once written but found their home on the latest 'TH1RT3EN' album, some many years after they were written.

Hello Scorpion.
I am curious about the meaning of the song "Looking Down the Cross", Some say it's about Jesus' last thoughts or Dave's feeling towards Metallica when he was kicked out and what he would have done.
I've heard there were some old interviews but couldn't find them.
Thank you, Alex.
Hello Alex,
Dave Mustaine explains the meaning of "Looking Down The Cross" in the liner notes of the 2004 "Killing Is My Business" reissue.
"This song was what I imagined might possibly have been the last words of Christ. Similar to the movie, The Last Temptation Of Christ, I have my own interpretation of what it may have been like to have been Jesus and what he may have been thinking at the time of his death. I know this could be interpreted as very self-righteous, but like I said, it is my own interpretation, not my experience."

I was just reading Dave's 1st article as a columnist writer in Guitar World's January 2008 magazine, that I had saved from previous years. He writes that he wraps his pinky finger around the plastic bridge ring that frames the bridge pickup, and allows his palm to rest on the string saddles at the bridge. He states he does this for muting techniques, and also hand muscle memory allows play without looking from a fixed position. As an aspiring Mustaine guitarist, I would like to purchase a Dean Dave Mustaine, but would like to know if Dave plans to make more Dean's like the Korina Zero? I have a hard time playing the flying V's, as when I'm sitting they tend to want to slide off my leg due to the V shape (thus making it impossible to try his technigues). The Korina Zero however, straddles the leg. But they are also $3000.00, as only 50 were produced, and aren't as affordable. Does Dave have any suggestions playing a V that makes it more comfortable when practicing sitting down? I would also like to thank Dave for not using highly technical terms in his columns. That is the sign of a true journalist in my opinion as everyone can understand his writings. Does Dave plan to write any more for any Guitar Magazines?
Thank you
Eric Wheatley in Louisville, Ky
Hi Eric,
I can tell you that writing the column for Guitar World was a lot of fun for Dave, and his friend Nick Bowcott (Grim Reaper guitarist) was the one who helped him get that gig. No immediate plans for writing another column, but ya never know what the future holds!
The pick-up ring helps Dave when picking strings in an abnormal pattern, like in Hangar 18; he jumps from the E string to the D string at the top of the rhythm track that supports the solo section before the duel.
Those Korina Zeros were Custom Collectors Items. They sold out fast, and I am sure you can find some, but to the real collector, they are only going to increase in value. Try contacting Josh Maloney at Dean Guitars. He would love to build you a guitar.
As for playing the V shape while sitting down, try putting the bottom of the V shape over your leg, support with the other leg, and sit forward on your chair; you'll get a good stable placement this way. Check the photo below of Dave playing his V while sitting at a recent backstage practice section during Gigantour 2012.

With David Ellefson having now played with all the drummers in Megadeth, I was wondering how he approached each musical situation with each new drummer? Is there a way that David best finds best to create the Megadeth rhythm section? Also, can you ask him if there is a different "feel" he has with Shawn versus any of the past drummers in Megadeth?
Steve Jock
Buffalo, NY
Hi Steve, I went to David with your question and he was happy to reply...
Each drummer has created a totally different feel and sound for Megadeth over the years. I liked Gar's inventive style just as I appreciated Nick's bombast, flare for style and out-of-the-box creativity. Jimmy was really solid and was someone I could count on every night and he played really tight.
To me, Shawn provides a super steady tempo for us now and I can always count on him to not make mistakes either. He was a real joy to play with when I came back on the "Rust In Peace" 20th Anniversary tour because those songs have to be played 'in the pocket' or else they can sound like mush in the large venues. I think because Shawn is also a songwriter and guitarist he really understands the components of the songs on a musical level, not just from a drummer's perspective. It helps that he's been a huge fan of the music, and all of the drummers over the years, so he can really cherry pick the best of the best from each one's style. This helps him really optimize the music for the band today.

Hi Scorpion, first i want to say, that Th1rt3en is awesome album! But here is my question, how many LP's (limited edition) of Th1rt3en was made?
Thank you very much for answer, Kropis.
Hi Kropis, the record company usually doesn't discuss specific numbers when they do pressings unless the pieces are numbered. But this was a limited edition and I can tell you that they were only offered for a limited time during the album release in Fall of 2011, and are now out of stock. If you got your hands on one of these awesome TH1RT3EN 2-LP picture disc sets, you're a lucky fellow!

Hello ScorpioN, I've recently begun playing bass and would love to practice some Megadeth songs, but many of my favorite songs (Hook in Mouth, being a good example) are almost impossible to find tabs on. I'm not very good at playing by ear and most tabs/covers just seem completely off. Is there any place to get accurate (or whatever's possible) tabs of the bass songs?
Best regards, Freakie (forum Droogie).
While I always recommend the official tabs offered by the books that include Megadeth songs, there are also a lot of great bits on YouTube, including people actually playing the parts slowly in an instructional manner. I hope this helps!

Hello scorpion,
I always wanted to know what types of cymbals does Shawn uses during his tours? Just recently got into drumming and also changed my music type from hip hop to rock/metal and Megadeth blew me away. I listen to them everyday with my Favorite song "take no prisoners" so would really appreciate if I got to know what type of cymbals Shawn uses because I would like to one day be able to play all Megadeth songs like Shawn does.
Shawn uses Sabian Cymbals
13" Fusion Hi-Hats
16" Rock Crash HH
16" Medium Thin Crash HH
18" Stage Crash HHX
18" Rock Crash HH
19" Rock Crash HH

Scorpion, with Megadeth being recognized as one of the founders of Thrash Metal, I'd like to hear how the band defines thrash metal, how it feels to be one of the original founders of the genre, how it has developed over time and how it feels to have influenced generations to come.
Thanks, Adam
Hello Adam, I went to David Ellefson with your questions. Here is what he had to say about it.
Thrash is a combination of the attitude from punk rock but the riffs and complexities of traditional metal. I never really think of it in terms of being one of the original founding members because we were just creating our music. In light of that, it's still an honor to be seen as such by our fans. It didn't appeal to everyone because at that same point in time, 1981-1992, it was mostly melodic 'hair metal' on the landscape. Thrash appealed to the rest of us who liked the essence of pure music without all the hype and showy stuff surrounding it. It emerged out of European metal music and by the mid 1980's the USA and other parts of the world were ready to embrace it because they were tired of the glitzy hair metal that was all the rave at that time.
The 1990's were not very favorable to thrash music. In fact from 1994-2004 was a really dark period for the genre. Then the bands in the mid 2000's started to really make it thrive; bands like 'Lamb Of God' and others really lit the flame because they were from a younger generation who grew up on our music.
I think thrash metal has influenced todays music mostly from the technical side of the musicianship. Players of other genres have credited bands like Megadeth & Metallica as influential to their playing. It's a great feeling to know that we may have had something to do with influencing generations to come!

Which are the guitars that Dave have used during his career?
I know that he used 2 Bc rich models, Jacksons king v, some ESP's guitars, but I don't know the Deans he's been using. I've seen a lot of Dean singature models, but he only used a few. I've never seen him using the VMNTX series, or the USA Dave Mustaine Signature VMNT.
Greetings from Argentina
Hello, the following is a list of the Dean guitars Dave Mustaine played during 2011:
Dean VMNT black finish
Dean VMNT "Angel of Deth" graphic
Dean VMNT "Rust In Peace" graphic
Dean VMNT "Fear" graphic
Dean Zero, korina finish
Dean Zero "Angel of Deth II" graphic

New guitars are always being produced by Dave and Dean. Watch for what others may be added to Dave's arsenal in the year 2012!

Hi Scorpion. I guess this qeustion is about both Dave's and Chris's amp set-up. I have been reading up on the Axe-Fx II unit. I always thought it was played directly through their Marshall amps, but from what I understand, this can't or shouldn't be done. So how do impliment these units in the bands set-up? What's the signal path?
Thank you
Lu-Jean Wickens
Hey Lu-Jean,
The signal starting from the guitar runs as such: guitar to the rear input of the
Fractal, the signal is then split into an out that runs to a Marshall mono block power amp and out to the guitar speakers. The other out of the fractal has a speaker simulation on it and runs strait to the P.A. From there the sound engineer takes the signals and combines them in an amount he thinks is appropriate. This is a fairly typical use of the Fractal and is not detrimental in any way.
Hope this gives some clarity on Megadeth's setup.

I purchased a United Abominations "Tour Edition" CD on eBay which includes 3 bonus tracks, "Out On The Tiles", "Black Swan", and "The Bodies Left Behind". It's sealed, it has a sticker on the front stating "tour editon", it looks legitimate. Is it the real deal or is it a counterfeit? I don't know if this helps but the barcode is 016861802929 and the product # on the spine of the cd is SC07334-0 LTD. I can provide pics also. I haven't found any information about in online anywhere. When I search for it on google, all that comes up is the eBay listing. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks. Brad
Brad, it's common for bootlegs to have a U.S. or U.K. UPC code with a foreign catalog number and a counterfeit CD with all kinds of extras on them. We know the only edition of United Abominations you could buy on that tour was the regular CD at meet 'n greets with Megadeth, and Black Swan/Bodies have never been released on CD before the Endgame & TH1RT3EN albums.

Hi, Scorpion and Megadeth! -I'm from Argentina, so I don't speak english very well, but I'll try anyway ;) - I direct my question to David Ellefson:
I've seen photos and videos where David Ellefson was playing a 5 string bass Rust In Peace... but the 5th string is not necessary to play those songs -I think-, so... Why does David play a 5 string bass in RIP?
Greetings from Buenos Aires
Hi Facundo,
While many of the earlier Megadeth songs don't require a five string bass, many of the later songs do, beginning with 'Hangar 18' on the "Rust In Peace" album. 'Hangar 18' was the first such song David needed to replicate a five string bass line for and then the five string started becoming a bigger part of his bass composition style after that. I can tell you, David finds it easier to play a five string most of the night rather than always be changing basses, which is why he plays it so much during Megadeth's live shows.
- 10/05/2011
Hello Scorpion, I have a question for the webmaster here at Megadeth.com.
When can we expect the current Endgame theme (which was done very well, I must say) to be replaced with a shiny, new TH1RT3EN theme?
Thank you for taking the time to read this!
-Ali from Michigan
Hello Ali, the webmaster appreciates your comment in regards to the Endgame theme. As you may already be aware, the Megadeth.com website gets a make over with every new studio release by Megadeth. A new shiny, TH1RT3EN theme is set to be unveiled when the new album is released on November 1, 2011. Stay tuned for a new great look and some rad updated features!

Hey Scorpion,
I was wondering why Dave and Chris choose not to use effect pedal and have pedal boards onstage? Do all the distortions, choruses, flangers etc come from the effects processors and amps? And does David Ellefson use any sort of effects or does he plug straight into his amp?
Thank you very much,
Eduardo, São Paulo, Brazil
PS. I'm extremely excited to see Megadeth play at SWU here in Brazil in November!
Hey Eduardo,
The band prefers a clean stage which is why they also use in-ear monitoring instead of foldback wedge monitor cabinets. This way they can offer their audience a perfect view from any seat and not be tied to pedal boards to hinder their performance for the fans.
David Ellefson only uses a stereo chorus for songs like 'Dawn Patrol', 'Poison Was The Cure' and 'Five Magics'. That pedal is run by his tech offstage as well.
- 09/05/2011
Hi Scorpion, I've a question for Chris Broderick.
Chris, I know that you endorse engl powerball amps, while using Marshall pre amps and speakers live in Megadeth. But you also use fractal audio axe fx ii systems and the amp models and patches which come with it. How do you find the comparison between tones on the fractal with the engl amp you endorse, and what is your stance on the Digital fx versus valve amps. Also is an amp required (like any engl or Marshall head) when you have an axe fx powered by say a Marshall power amp.
Any response to this would be great,
Owen Catterall, Ireland
Hey Owen,
I would first state that this question has been out there for a long time now, however it is only now becoming relevant because until Fractal came around there was no comparison to the original. I would say that tube amps and Fractal Axe's compare favorably to each other, but when you throw in the convenience of all that the Fractal can do, it makes it the better choice for touring. I will always have my favorite amps around however, to make sure that I haven't strayed to far from their tone because with all of the tonal possibilities in the Axe Fx it's not hard to go over board Ahahahha.
Take care, Chris.

I know that there has been asked a bass question recently, but I really have to know the answer.
I play bass, and it's really frustrating when I cover Poison Was The Cure with my bass sounding too clean. How does David Ellfefon gets that Slap-pop sound, while using a pick?
Thank you.
David Ellefson does use a pick and has a very clean sound, but he now adds bass chorus pedal to help the intro for 'Poison Was The Cure' have a bit more of a colorful sound. He turns the pedal off once he is into the song with the full band.

I play the bass guitar and Dave Ellefson is a huge influence for me
My question is this:
How did he become so good? I mean i know practice means everything but come on!
I dont have a whole lot of time for practice anymore since i am going to school now, but basically is there any quick tips for a novice bass player?
BTW, i met the guys at the Joe Louis Arena in August of 2010 on the RIP anniversary tour, it was so Awesome and you guys should play in Michigan more often there are huge fans out here too!!!
Hi Kevin,
My rule is "practice" at home so you can "rehearse" with your band to make you good enough to "perform" live!
Stay sharp with your scales and basic musicality. Stay up on any songs you like to play, too. It's better to play 15-30 minutes each day than to try and save up for four hours on a Saturday. A little all the time keeps your chops much sharper.
David Ellefson

This one's for Dave. You helped usher in the era of the music video.
With all the advancements in CGI and production, if you could go back and remake one of your older videos and tell the story with today's technology, which would it be? Also, is there a song you wish you did a video for but didn't?
Keep crushing it! Megadeth has set the bar for the rest of the metal world.
Blythewood, SC
Hi Glenn, good question! I went to Dave Mustaine with this and here is what he had to say...
When we did Hangar 18 we used miniatures and some special fx too. I think that videos today are all about the pardoo! And if the band ain't a pardy band, then they are singing in a cemetery somewhere. There really is no more middle ground. Thanks for your question. Megaman

Hi there Scorpion.
I am a drummer myself and I LOVE to try and play Megadeth's songs, as they are tremendously challenging for me. And I say try, because the drumming in Megadeth is quite complex... the tempos, the rudiments... they are fu**ing amazing. My question is... who writes and arranges the drum sections for every song ? Is this a task that Dave does, or this relies completely on every drummer ? Do the drummers give suggestions, do they create, or does Dave say "play this the way I say, and that's it" ?
Greetings to all the band, they are the best in the world. Seriously.

Hi there Christopher, here is Shawn Drover's answer to your question...
Most megadeth songs I have recorded are a collaboration between myself, Dave and the producer. I will play the track, then we will listen to it and have bounce ideas around before I record the final track. I like to have their opinions, as sometimes a part can get even better with just a small change in a drum fill, etc.
Be well,

Hi Scorpion,
How long does the band usually rehearse for a tour? I notice on the website that, as of today, they are still working on the new record. I have tickets to see them with the Big Four on July 2nd here in Germany, and also to see them in Hamburg on July 4th. I would have thought that they would be rehearsing by now!!

Hi Brian,
There are no set rehearsals before heading out on the road together. The guys tour so much and have done it for such a long time that they are all ready to go once out on the road. With that being said, they do play through a majority of the set togehter at least once in the dressing room each night before a show. That gets them primed and warmed up for the upcoming show. If there are new songs to be played, they will take this time to go through them and start introducing the new songs on stage as they get more comfortable with them. It all comes together pretty quick when you're pros like Megadeth! ...of course, each of the guys also do their own practicing and keeping up on their chops while off stage.

How does willie gee achieve mustaines tone with a digitech gsp1101 or axe fx?
New York City
Hi Ezekiel, I caught up with Willie G today and this is what he had to say about your question...
Well, if he is using WHICH unit we use, Dave has been using the Fractal Audio Systems Axe FX Ultra exclusively for almost a year now. Prior to that, we used the Digitech GSP1101 since about 2007.
Dave's sound has alwasy been based around a Marshall or "Marshall type" amp (meaning a pretty high-gain tube head with EL34 power tubes) with maybe an overdrive pedal giving it a slight "push". To get Dave's tone with a preamp like the Axe FX, we use amplifier simulations that are based on amps like the Marshall JCM 800 or modded "Marshall types" like the "Marsha" amp, and add a touch of overdrive pedal (such as a TS808 or ProCo Rat overdrive, with the level dialed up a bit and the drive/distortion barely on), and a bit of boosting of midrange frequencies using parametric EQ. That's pretty much the whole key to it - getting a good, British-type amp sound, driving a bit harder at the input with a gain-boosting device, and tweaking the sound for a bit more "teeth" in the midrange with EQ. You could do it with graphic as well, but I've had better luck with parametric eq-ing.
Same thing with the other units Dave's used ...just pick a good, high-gain amp type, add a touch of drive from "Tube Screamer" or whatever overdrive it has, and a bit of judicious midrange tweaking to accentuate the midrange (NEVER "scoop out" the mids!) and you should be in the ballpark! A lot of the punch in Dave's tone also comes from using a pretty hefty string gauge, tuned to standard, A440 tuning...Dave uses a light top/heavy bottom set, .010 to .052.
Hope this helps!

Hi guys,
Ive been following Dave on Twitter, and I can see youre recording a new album which is great! But Dave keeps referring to a guy named johnny? Is he sessioning guitar or does he have more of a production role? Also Will the new album be featuring Vic on the cover?
Hi Jim, Dave is referring to producer Johnny Karkazis. Better known as Johnny K,(born in Chicago, Illinois) he is a Grammy Award nominated producer/engineer/mixer/musician and songwriter. He owns Groovemaster Recording Studios in Chicago. Johnny has worked with bands such as Sevendust, Disturbed, 3 Doors Down, Finger Eleven, Staind, Machine Head and more.
Johnny has been brought in to produce the new Megadeth album at Vic's Garage in San Marcos, California.
Vic on cover? .... you'll have to wait to see! ;)

What scales do Mustaine and Broderick use when they solo? Some scales that are commonly used in metal sound more Egyptian when I use them. Also, what chromatic notes do they add in?
Hi Miguel, I caught up with Chris Broderick today and asked him your question. Here is what he had to say in regards to the scales used in Megadeth.
"One of the most common scales used in Megadeth (and in most bands) is the Pentatonic scale. In some cases we would add chromatic notes such as the b5, and #6 to add some variation to their tone. The scales you would refer to as sounding more Egyptian would be the Harmonic mi scale (especially if you play it off the 5th), and the Hungarian gypsy mi scale in tandem with a Maj7#11 arpeggio."

No evidence that quake triggered cave-in
Ambiguous, preliminary evidence indicates that a coal mine cave-in that trapped six miners early Monday in Utah generated seismic waves that were recorded as a magnitude-3.9 earthquake, according to the University of Utah Seismograph Stations.
There is no evidence that the earthquake triggered the mine collapse, says Walter Arabasz, director of the Seismograph Stations.
Some news media are reporting incorrectly that the quake triggered the mine collapse, apparently because the cave-in first was reported about an hour after the quake.
The magnitude of the quake was revised to 3.9, slightly smaller than the earlier estimate of 4.0, Arabasz says. The quake at 2:48 a.m. MDT was centered near the Crandall Canyon coal mine, where six miners were trapped by the cave-in. The mine,formerly owned by Genwal Resources, Inc., is now owned by UtahAmerican Resources, Inc.
Arabasz said the seismic wave patterns from the quake appear consistent with the idea that the mine collapse was the source of seismic waves recorded as the earthquake. There is a long history of earthquakes being generated by collapses in mines in Utah and elsewhere.
Editor's note: It is not clear at press time whether the quake caused the cave-in or the cave-in caused the quake. In an effort to tell both sides of the story, the mine believes the quake caused the cave-in and the University of Utah believes the cave-in caused the earthquake. That doesn't matter to me, what caused what, the important thing here is that six men are trapped and their lives are threatened. Their safe return is all that counts.
