Dear Scorpion, I've gotta simple question: will be any books about history of Megadeth and/or about Dave Mustaine? I would like to read it.
Here is the latest from Dave on his autobiography, which is completed and set for release next year:
"I finished approving my autobiography, and that was a labor of love. I got to the last page and I was so amazed as I was nearing the end, that by the time I got to the last page I started to have this amazing sense of completion. I felt like someone had finally gotten me into print, good and bad, with a sprinkling more of bad just for good measure. And by the time I got to the last two words of the book, I started to have an overwhelming wave of emotions; finally I feel like someone has looked into me; what makes me tick; why I am upset about the things that upset me; what makes me happy; why I have upsetting things in my life that I can't seem to shake; how I can continue to come back from the dead, etc., etc., etc..."
Other recent books featuring Dave and Megadeth include Metallica: Club Dayz 1982-1984 by Bill Hale, who is currently working on a photo book documenting Megadeth's early years, titled Megadeth: Another Time, A Different Place. Dave is listed at number one in Joel McIver's The 100 Greatest Metal Guitarists, and a revised issue of Metallica: The Stories Behind the Biggest Songs, was released this month.

Hey, just a quick question. I was wondering what the meaning was of the song "Lucretia." I know the story of the Roman girl Lucretia, but the lyrics of this song seem to be about a ghost or a haunted house of some kind. Any clarification? Thanks in advance!
Here's a quick explanation from Dave in 1990:
"It's about this guy who happens to be named Dave, and he just has problems, and his friends all think he's crazy and he goes to see this fortune teller. She talks about how he feels, where he's going, how he gets there, and the fact that she knew he was coming and she's been waiting for him for a long time."

Dear Scorpion,
Dave is undeniably one of the greatest metal players out there, I was wondering if he was entirely self taught in the early days and what he would consider his influences to be? Finally, how did he develop such speed?
Hi Lewis,
Here's a very cool interview segment with Dave from 1991 where he talks about early/current influences and learning to play. Enjoy!
(Dave) started playing the guitar at age 15. Why?
"Because tuning a guitar is way easier than tuning a piano! Actually, it was down to the husband of one of my three sisters. When she first met him he was in a rock band that covered songs by Kiss, Mott The Hoople, The Stones and stuff like that, and after listening to him twang away and hearing all the power of an amplified guitar, I thought 'Wow, this is a cool idea!'"
So, picking up the acoustic guitar his mother had bought him, Dave set about teaching himself to play - with a few helpful hints from his brother-in-law to be. He wanted to be in a band as soon as possible, and that's exactly what happened...
"Me joining my first band still cracks me up! Believe it or not, it happened about a month after I started playing! I was real stiff when it came to single note stuff but I could do barre chords real good. I also had an ear for music because one of my sisters used to plunk around on the piano, and all three of 'em used to listen to Motown and stuff like that. Even though dance music is not my thing, there's a lot of melody there and I was always picking them out. I can't say that if someone just hits a key on a piano I'll be able to 'name that tune', but my exposure to stuff by Marvin Gaye, The Supremes and Al Green definitely helped develop my musical ear."
Being well and truly hooked on the instrument, it wasn't long before Dave moved on to an electric guitar, a Gibson SG.
"The acoustic my mom gave me got broken. My second sister smashed it over my back after I got her into a bunch of trouble! So when I was 16 I got the SG. Then about a year after that, I trashed the SG and started playing a Les Paul. When I first got an electric, pretty much any noise I made on it sounded good to me. Then I started to realize how shitty what I was doing actually did sound, and that's when I got into trying to teach myself something different."
Dave's initial influences were "early Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Kiss, and the stuff Mick Ronson did when David Bowie was really happening. I also liked some Mott The Hoople stuff - not all of it, but some of their material was cool. Later on I got into Deep Purple, Montrose and stuff like that. The rock music that was really strong towards the end of the 70's was basically what I listened to. I really liked Kiss back then - Ace Frehley I thought was God-like in the beginning. I also liked what Michael Schenker played, up until he burnt himself out."
Mustaine also drew inspiration from an unlikely source - in view of what Megadeth's own music is like - in Paul McCartney.
"I don't understand him because he's capable of coming up with really great stuff, such as Like A Wheel - Let Me Roll It To You. As soon as I heard that song I had to learn it. Then, the next thing you know, he's doing rubbish with Michael Jackson."
I wonder what Mustaine listens to nowadays...Yngwie Malmsteen maybe?
"Which Yngwie? There are so many of him out there you can't tell them apart. No, I don't really listen to him. I liked what Randy Rhoads did, a lot. I was really into the Blizzard when they first came out. I like listening to music that makes you want to hang out with friends and have a good time - like Fear for example. I'm not into John McLaughlin and crap like that...I mean, I can appreciate it, but I don't really like it. I prefer stuff that's more Motorhead-ish and energetic. I really liked Diamond Head a lot."

I was wondering if Dave ever used an ESP Axxion live? I've looked for videos and pictures but never found anything.
Thanks from Sweden, Viktor
Hi Viktor,
Dave has never played his Axxion live. Glen Drover played one during Gigantour 2006, check out the gallery at Megadeth.com for pics.

Dear ScorpioN,
I have been trying to figure this out for a long time. I really would like to know the type of Jackson guitar that Dave Mustaine uses in the music video for trust. Thanks.
Hi there, Dave used a Jackson Custom Firebird (color "oxblood") in the video for "Trust". There were only four made by Jackson's custom shop. Dave's was serial number: J6322. He auctioned it off with several other of his Jacksons here at Megadeth.com in December 2003.

I have been trying to find infromation on these megadeth roadie tapes from around 1990. all i can find out is that they where suspossed to be released as an official 'Life Of..' video but it never happened and copies from the original master and have been floating around and being traded since then. Why has Dave never released this footage I have seen stuff from it and i think people would really pay to see all the cool backstage stuff and soundchecks and all the live performances if it was on a dvd. Hope you get this and can answer my questions.
Some of the footage from the "Life Of" tapes has been released recently. The London Clash of the Titans concert from October 1990 was released in 2007 as disc 4 of the Warchest box set, and backstage footage was released in 2006 on the Arsenal of Megadeth DVD. Hopefully there's more to come!

Hi ScorpioN,
um my name is Esteban and i'm 14 years old and own every MegadetH cd. A few weeks i discovered my uncle has a original Killing is My Business...And Business is Good! While visiting my grandma I went to my uncle's room as he left when he moved out. Funny i discovered the cd when i dropped my phone under his bed cause i noticed a cd. Curiosity overcame me and checked the cd...I was shocked seeing that cd. The point is...is it rare? and valueable? What do you Think? Thank You!
Hi Esteban,
The original Killing Is My Business cd, meaning the first Combat Records release with "These Boots" included as track #4, is considered rare. It's value is between $30-$40 in good condition.

I was checking out the new Headcrusher art and it looked very familiar to me but I couldn't quite place it.=C 2 Then it hit me. It resembles the art from The Keeper of the Seven Keys, Part I by Helloween. I was wondering if the artists was influenced by that album, if its the same guy, or was just sheer coincidence. Either way, it looks rockin!
Rock on
Alex Dwyer
Hi Alex, I talked to the artist, John Lorenzi (United Abominations cover artist and more with Megadeth) about this today. This is what he told me:
"The device in the song and the period in which it was used along with some instructions from Dave Mustaine himself was all I used here. I agree the cloaked characters seem similar but only by coincidence and the fact that they all shop at the same "Cloakery" (I don't think that's really a word.). They could be brothers from another mother but they don't know it yet ;)"
Also, Dave Mustaine recently posted this about the art on the Megadeth Forums:
"This is a Head Crusher. The containers in front of his eyes in the image were to catch the eyeballs as they popped from their sockets.
The robed people were John's idea and represent executioners or a tribunal, I dunno?
Any other artwork pertaining to this song, that is not about this specific device and is specifically about a person in the device while it is being cranked down on his head, forcing his brain to squirt gray oozing brain matter out his ears, and his teeth exploding and all of his head splintering and pulverized as the giant screw is turned over and over; sometimes the executioner would reverse the screw to cause twice the torment, and also hit the skull cap with a hammer to cause more pain.
I encourage you all to look up the head crusher online (you know how much I love to show you things and how great it makes me feel to know that I taught you something) and read all of the material that you can on this. I saw a poster when we were in Amsterdam, and there was a poster for the History of Torture. I tried to see if Dick Cheney was the Grand Poobah emcee, but we took off in the taxi before I could finish reading it. That is when the inspiration came, and I had no idea it was going to be for the Head Crusher. I looked up this stuff because I knew Iron Maiden got their name from a torture device."

Hi there Megadeth people!
Just have a question not bad intended: why famous bands make specials versions, extra songs for JAPAN? What made them so honored to have that privilege? I mean, most of all the fans over the world should deserve the same treatment because we go to the concerts, buy the albums, shouldnt we? But anyway, it´s only a question not a criticism.
With kind regards from Germany,
Hi Carlos,
Bonus material is usually included on Japanese releases because of high CD prices in Japan. Extra tracks on the Japanese pressing are an incentive for shops not to import cheaper CD's from other countries.
- 06/02/2009
For all fans interested. is there a place to get copies of the chaos comics for megadeth? i know they went out of business in 2002, but there has to be a secret stash somewhere.
- Charles
The original four issues, as well as the special edition issues are available on Amazon.com and occasionally on eBay.com. Also, the official Megadeth eBay store often has copies autographed by Dave and the MegaFanClub often auctions off autographed copies to its members.

Hi, i was hearing the instrumental "Absolution" of the Disc "Youthanasia" and I realized that it was equal to the instrumental part of the song "Trust", "Cryptic Writings". Can you explain it to me?
Dave explains this in the liner notes of the Youthanasia remaster CD:
This song is an instrumental piece of music that had the front section cut out of it and used in the hit single off of Cryptic Writings, called "Trust". Marty and I were talking about various song ideas and I told him that I had one idea to do a renaissance type song. There are two versions of this song.
- 05/18/2009
I have heard that Megadeth had a rare ep out called 'Cryptic Sounds: No Voices in your Head'. I'd like to know more info on it.
Thanks, Brett from East Earl PA.
Hi Brett,
Cryptic Sounds is indeed a rare EP, released in Japan in late 1998, and later as the bonus disc in the Korean version of Cryptic Writings.
It included five songs from Cryptic Writings (Almost Honest, Vortex, Trust, A Secret Place and She-Wolf). All are instrumentals, without Dave singing, and added guitar parts by Marty Friedman. You can find the Japanese CD used on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.jp, or occasionally on eBay.

Dear Scopion,
I was wondering if there are any websites or videos where I can hear or read from Dave talking about working with Vinnie Collaiuta or viceversa in "The System Has Failed"
Bet regards,
Jose M Gonzalez
Miami, FL
Hi Jose,
Dave spoke about working with Vinnie in
this 2004 interview with Hard Radio:
Bob Nalbandian: How in the hell did Vinnie Colaiuta come into the fold? Being a huge session drummer for the biggest name bands in pop, jazz, and fusion, I find it surprising he would record with Megadeth!
Dave Mustaine: Do you know how badly he wanted to do this record? He's been performing for artists like Sting and Faith Hill, and he has the chance to come in and belt blazing drum tracks with Dave Mustaine...doing lead drums...I mean, come on. I was so intimidated by him, when I first went in I shook his hand and said "I thought you were black." He started laughing, since he's this large Italian man. I just wanted to clear the air and make things fun from the get-go and let him know I'm a prankster. And then we just started recording, I would play air-drums on certain parts and said "do this", but I still gave him artistic license to do what he needed to do. And it was brilliant, he did the whole record in three days.

Hi Scorpion,
We dont get many metal acts in South Africa, was just wondering and hoping if Megadeth will ever come to South Africa. You guys have a huge following here.
Hi Jacques,
Dave has mentioned wanting to play South Africa many times in the past, and commented about playing there last week in an online chat: "That is one place I will not feel good about missing out on playing if I retire."

Hi Scorpion, I read Dave is writing a book. Can you give more details about it?
Hi Silvia,
Dave has been working on a book for some years now. Originally titled "Love And Bruises: Lyrics And Stories: 1981-2004", it was set for release in April 2005, but was never published. Earlier this year Dave mentioned that the book would be coming out in 2010, and went into details about the writing process with Swedens Close Up magazine:
"If you're going to write an autobiography, everything has to be included the good and happy moments, as well as the hard times. You can't leave anything out. As of right now, we have covered everything up until halfway through the Metallica years, so I guess now is when the more delicate stuff will come.
On the other hand, if a musician writes an autobiography and it doesn't include any sexual perversion or debauchery, then it's not an honest story. I think a lot of people are going to by shocked by some of the chapters. But I have no choice - either I write about everything or nothing at all. This is basically a story of human interest; it's much more than just 'Dave from Megadeth.' There have been a lot of people that have tried to stop me, but they can't. Over the years, I have learned to cherish both my friends and my enemies. So it's a story about a guy that has been lifted up and then kicked down again, and I think it will show very clearly that I never give up."
The book is being co-written by New York Times journalist Joe Layden, who also wrote "The Last Great Fight", which takes readers behind the scenes of what is considered by many to be the biggest upset in the history of boxing: James "Buster" Douglas' tenth-round knockout win over Mike Tyson in 1990.

What does 'MSGD!', which Dave regularly uses to sign off on blogs, stand
'MSGD!' is Dave's way of saying goodbye after he posts a message to fans. It means: Mustaine Sez Goodbye Droogies! You can find this info and more trivia in our FAQ section at Megadeth.com.

January, Megadeth performs on The Howard Stern Show. now at the time i really haven't listen to howardstern that much in the 90's because its the same old stuff but still what was he on there for?
Michael D
Hi Michael,
Megadeth performed "Trust" and "Use the Man" at Howard Stern's 44th Birthday Bash in 1998. It was held at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom, and featured other guests David Bowie, Billy Joel and Van Halen. Dave gave a short interview at the end of the show, which was broadcast on the radio, but edited out of the television episode. Topics included Metallica, sobriety and Dave's new daughter Electra.

Hi Scorpion,
I Saw this video on youtube and I was wondering if it was a real track of the new Record...
Can you Tell me?
Santiago, Chile
Hi Antonio,
No, this is not a Megadeth track at all. The song in the link is called "Stepping Outside the Circle" by the band Shadows Fall.

Hi Scorpion,
What happened to Dave Mustaine's arm some years ago? I heard the band broke up because of it and that he wasn't coming back, but I see they have been going strong since early 2000. Could you shed some light on what happened?
St Louis.
Hi Jack, an explanation of what happened with Dave's arm is in our FAQ section of this website. We often have this question asked. Here is what happened:
In January 2002, Dave fell asleep in a chair with his arm in an awkward position, which cut off the circulation to the radial ulnar nerve in his left bicep, compressing it. A compressed radial nerve is commonly called "Saturday Night Palsy". This left him unable to feel or properly move his hand, as the brain could not communicate muscle movement through the nerve. His treatment included four months of extensive physical therapy, as well as acupuncture, chiropractic adjustments and weight training. During this time he was able to fully recover from his nerve injury, as well as tendon damage in his finger he had previously suffered from. After being pronounced 100% healed by his doctor, Dave took on the task of relearning to play guitar, with help from guitarist Ric Flauding.

I'm listening right now to my "That One Night- Live in Buenos Aires" CD and
I'm asking the next question, what does the sentence right after the solo
means in Trust ? What language is it in ?
Thank you,
Rock on
Hi Mat, Dave is singing the chorus of Trust in Spanish:
Me duele todo el cuerpo por los errores
Presionados por la lujuria
Nos mentimos tanto el uno al otro
Que en nada confiamos
Dios te pido de rodillas ayudame por favor
Presiondos por la lujuria
Nos mentimos tanto el uno al otro
Que ya en nada confiamos
My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust
God help me please, on my knees
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust
Trust was recorded in Spanish and released as a bonus track on the 1997 Argentinean release of Cryptic Writings.

Hey scorpion, I am a 13 year old Metal psycho, and was browsing the scorpion archives, and saw that THE ORIGIN OF VIC was never answered.
So tell me, what is the origin of vic, and Why did megadeth choose him as their mascot?
Also: Who would win in a fight?
Iron maiden's Eddie
Megadeth's Vic
Children of bodom's Grim reaper
(in) Formally,
Both Daves explain Vic's origin and the song "The Skull Beneath The Skin" in the 2002 remastered Killing Is My Business liner notes.
Mustaine: I saw a cover of a book in a store once and the title was The Skull Beneath The Skin. I designed our mascot around a few religious and pagan symbols, and the lyrics describe someone being sacrificed in a ritual. This is how our mascot became Vic Rattlehead. The guitar riffing is very progressive to reflect the darkness of the song and it's content.
Ellefson: The title and lyrics are the quintessential description of the formation of our mascot Vic Rattlehead. Because of this description we felt it was imperative that the cover art remain true to our original wishes on this new release. Read them now and you will understand our disappointment with the Combat (Records) cover art as it made these lyrics seem almost pointless.
As to which mascot would win in a fight, the Scorpion is a bit too biased on the subject to say!
Here are the lyrics to Vic's song, "The Skull Beneath The Skin".
Mean and infectious the evil prophets rise
Dance of the Macabre as witches streak the sky
Decadent worship of black magic sorcery
In the womb of the Devil's Dungeon trapped without a plea
See thing in agony necrosis is the fate
Pins sticking through the skin the venom now sedates
Locked in a pillory nowhere to be found
Screaming for your life but no one hears a sound
Help Me!
Prepare the patients scalp to peel away
Metal caps his ears he'll hear not what we say
Solid steel visor riveted cross his eyes
Iron staples close his jaws so no one hears his cries
The skull beneath the skin
Now your drawn and quartered your bones will make the x
Symbol stands for poison and it's chained to your head
And as we fold your arms to make the holy cross
We cross the crucifix religion has been lost
The skull beneath the skin

Hey, I just wanted to know what is the current progress in the new
Megadeth album and if any song/cover art demos are available to the
public. Thank you for reading and I can't wait for the new album.
Regards, Allan
Hi Allan, as of this last week of February 2009, there have been no demos or artwork released yet. This was the latest update from Dave, right before he left for the current UK tour.
"Yesterday, Andy Sneap went back to the UK for a while, as we are preparing to go out on the Priest Feast Tour. This means effectively that the recording has stopped, until we return in March/April.
We finished all of the rhythm and bass guitars, as well as the drums being finished for a couple weeks now, and I think I even heard some acoustic layers.
I want to let ya know that we are going to be taking portable recording devices, like we did last time (that seemed to work out just fine), and finish preparing for the last recordings on "Studio Release number 12."
Everyone is done with their basic tracks, and all of the songs have been arranged. Its just a matter of singing with my voice AND my fingers."
For further updates on the new album, keep checking Megadeth.com for the latest interviews and posts from Dave.

Hey Scorpion,
I am writing about the song Amerikhastan. I love the way he wrote it. I don't know what is so cool about it but it is just an awesome song. I was just wondering, what is this song written about? Is it about war in America or what? Thanks!
Sam from Colorado
Hey Sam,
Here's what Dave told MTV about "Amerikhastan" on Headbanger's Ball in 2007.
"There's a song on United Abominations called "Amerikhastan" and it talks about immigration and fighting in between religions and stuff like that, it's basically part 2 to "Holy Wars", and one of the lines in the songs says (in particular about the Statue of Liberty) "these are your people, Lady Liberty, pull up your dress today, and tattooed is "property of the USA, a subsidiary of Halliburton", and even though that's kinda ugly sounding, it's pretty much the truth and to me I think truth is a lot scarier than fiction, most of the time."
- 02/03/2009
Hey Scorpion,
Megadeth is my all-time favorite band and 'Addicted To Chaos' is one of my favorite songs from them, I was wondering what is this song about? The lyrics are really poignant and the entire song is very well-structured.
That's pretty much it, more power to Dave Mustaine and Megadeth!!
Manuel from the Philippines
Hey Manuel,
Here's Dave's response when asked by RIP magazine in 1995 about the meaning of the song:
"The irony of that song is the subject of it is my drug counselor who got me sober. When he said that I would walk alone, it was after counseling me for a period of time, and he said "You know I'm gonna have to cut you loose some day." The finality of it was two puncture wounds in his arm and an overdose on heroin. My drug counselor died. No one's safe from that disease - those who have that disease."

Hi Scorpion,
I was just wondering why Dave went for Dean guitars and left his beloved Jackson King Vs. The King Vs were the real metal guitars at that time when he first started and they sounded, looked and played awesomely great! Was it a matter of finances, contracts etc...or was it his own choice? If so, why?
Hi Keshav,
Dave originally left Jackson for ESP Guitars, before switching to his current Deans. Here's an interview from the time discussing why he left Jackson (August 2003 Guitar Word), followed by a press statement from Megadeth.com discussing his departure from ESP.
"Jackson came up for sale a couple times and I wanted to buy it, and then each time the sale was pulled. And then they tried to sell it a third time-I was contacted again by somebody within the company who said they wanted me to buy it, because we'd been friends for such a long time. And while we were positioning ourselves to buy the company, they sold it to Fender, which I thought was a bit disrespectful, knowing that I'm the No. 1 endorser they had. But I let it go.
I contacted Hamer, Gibson and ESP. Hamer is a really small company, so they were going to have a hard time keeping up with what I want for my endorsement, let alone answering the sales orders that people put in because of the guitars I endorse. I talked to Gibson, and they were excited, but they could not configure the guitar to be a 24-fret guitar, so I was kinda handcuffed there.
So I talked to Marsh Gooch, Matt Masciandaro, and Jose Ferro at ESP. They said, 'We have a V, but we discontinued it because no one's endorsing it.' I went into their warehouse and I picked up one of their flying V's - it was called a V350 at the time - and I went, 'Fuck this thing's awesome' and I said, 'Yeah, I'm willing to play this guitar, if you're willing to make a couple of changes on it to make it even better.' So we made some changes with the body, the headstock, some of the inlay stuff, and the knobs and electronic configuration.
They only had 2 knobs, and I wanted to have the separate volume knobs, a tone knob, and a three way position pickup selector. And I wanted to make sure my fingers could reach the volume knobs with my palm on the bridge. Everything is the same as the Jackson Y2KV was - it's the ebony fretboard, 24 frets with the small fret wire, and it's got the basic dot inlay, except that the first fret's got an 8Ball, because the guitar's called the DV8. The pickups are Seymour Duncan's, the Jeff Beck humbucker in the bridge, and the Jazz in the neck. They got it sent back out from their builders last week, and I picked it up two days ago in their office. I was like, 'Fuck this thing's awesome!' I told them, 'If there was any doubt from anybody of why I went to ESP, just hold one of these fuckers.'"
Megadeth.com Press Statement:
"After two successful years, I have decided to leave ESP guitars. This was a business decision and had nothing to do with the guitars or the manufacturing of the guitars, and I wish the staff of ESP, both in the USA and in Japan and Korea the very best of health and prosperity.
Meanwhile, I am taking my Classic Metal V known formerly as a Jackson King V1 or an ESP DV8, and my new guitar design presently known as an Axxion, which was the recipient of the Gold Award from Guitar World Magazine for 2005 for new guitar designs with me.
I will also be re-introducing through my new endorsement many special models, including re-issues of my old models from over the span of my career, as well as some retro V shapes, similar to the formerly known Jackson Y2KV or a Gibson Flying V."

Hi Scorpion,
When Dave was in Metallica, did he have any Megadeth songs written, besides the obvious Mechanix. And if so, which ones and did he ever bother to show James or anyone else in the band?
Thanks, Chris J.
Hi Chris,
Dave wrote his first Megadeth song after his time in Metallica. You can hear the famous story from Dave himself, by visiting www.AskDaveMustaine.com and typing in "megadeth".

Hi Scorpion,
Back about 6 months ago I heard what had to be the most hilarious song Dave has ever played. I'll call it "Kill the Wabbit", you'll know what I mean. I was wondering when he got the idea for it, why he did, and if there are any official releases of it.
Legends live onstage, Gods die on it!
Aaron from Commiskey, Indiana
Hi Aaron,
"Kill the Wabbit", released in 1994, was not performed by Dave or Megadeth, but Mark McCollum, aka Ozzy Fudd. It was released officially, on Rhino Records "Dr. Demento's 30th Anniversary Collection: Dementia 2000".
- 12/16/2008
Hi Scorpion,
I heard somewhere that the original video for A Tout Le Monde was banned from MTV. I've seen the video and think its cool. Is this true, and if so could you shed some light on why?
Hi Alister, yes this is true. Dave Mustaine wrote about this on the Megadeth Forums in March of 2007. Here is what Dave had to say:
"A Tout Le Monde", as most of you know, and all of the know it alls know, was from Youthanasia.
The video was banned, the single was shelved, and without your loving support of a truly beautiful song, it would have died.
MTV banned it because they said, "it was a song about suicide," as did many people, but why would the line, "I'd love to stay with you all be in there? It would need to say something like, I want to die, right?
And I had a manager at the time that was told along with me by MTV not to use Director Wayne Isham because we had used him too much; odd request, but I heard them loud and clear.
Of course management didn't listen and tried to slip it in to MTV under a pseudonym and MTV flipped. They are/were pissed at me for something I didn't do and I would be ok if it was something I did, but I told the manager, and David Ellefson can attest to this, NOT to use Wayne.
Their solution was to ban the $300,000+ vidi, and radio in America was following MTV very closely at the time, still do to an extent, and did not play the single.
The song was left at the altar. I got sent a bill.

Okay, so we all know that Kakasi is losing his sharingan> well maybe this wont be a revelation to everyone, it is to me....
Kakashi's signature thing throughout the whole series has been the sharingan. He wont lose it forever, because rarely do we see characters change their staple completely?? Almost never, and especially not in the begining of the final series of fights for the entire damn series!
So Kakashi is going to get another sharingan, if not two sharingan! Either a) sasuke is going to die and give an eye to his former master (like obito did) or b) sasuke is going to offer itachis eyes to kakashi
both of these would require sasuke to still be a good guy at heart, but i believe his is.
Good PREVAILS!!!


text:
sometimes, AS STUPID AS THIS MAY SOUND, suspect that naruto will eventually become the jyuubi itself(an intentional sacrifice probably), and sasuke with the rinnegan will somehow wipe him out once and for all, making him the savior of the world and bringer of peace.
i HIGHLY doubt this but IF it happens... I CALLED IT! >:]
Thats the joy of kishi's writing, it comes out of no where, so for us to predict it we have to come up with stupid theories that are frankly crazy in the hope of getting it correct.
Madara using EMS, Sussanoo, rinnegan and bringing down a comet on there heads......sweet.
We have already seen ETZombies with rinnegans, so why is everyone so surprised ? It wasn't explained how Tobi gave them one (perhaps similar to how Nagato was able to transfer some of his eye powers to other dead bodies) or if it was actually done in similar fashion to what Kabuto just did.
Oh right, can't forget what Itachi said, that: "with sharingan and rinnegan, everything is possible", so the possibility of Edo Madara breaking out of Kabuto's control, just went up.
Am just waiting to see the Madara drop something huge on someone. That and Kabuto changing a sharigan to a rinnegan. Can't wait.

The "Comet" is probably Chibaku-Tensei
Kabuto Created his MONSTER, .....Now, Can he control it?
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Anyone here think that Yamato/Tenzou would, at least, temporarily gain Hashirama-level powers?

Game one crunch time: Dan Boyle's third period goal broke the Canucks' backs
Patrick Johnston
May 02 2013 04:46PM
Photo: Getty, Photographer uncredited via Smell the Glove.
It was the go-ahead goal. it came as the Canucks were struggling to re-discover the tempo that had carried them in the second period. It confirmed the ascendancy of the Sharks in the game.
Or did it?
In a game that was always going to be close, finding the way to the net was a challenge. Forcing a mistake proved to be even harder. But the Sharks did that and it was the crucial moment in a game that the Canucks had controlled for a time.
A break down of the goal, and what it represented, after the jump.
It was an odd opening to the period. The Sharks' defensive system was working well - ahead of the Boyle goal, the Canucks had managed to direct just six pucks towards the net. Only two were on net, long distance jobs by Andrew Ebbett and Kevin Bieksa.
The Sharks, on the other hand, had totalled five on net, though only two were from anything close to the net. The second of those was crucial. That was Joe Pavelski's backhand shot from the boards that ended up squirting out to the uncovered Dan Boyle.
There's three things to notice. First, Andrew Desjardins getting position on Frank Corrado. Their battle ends up impinging Luongo from both tracking the puck across the top of the crease and also from making any attempt at a save.
Then there's mason Raymond coming down low, in an effort to overwhelm the Sharks at the net. Boyle's his man.
Third, there's Tommy Wingels finding an inch of space between Derek Roy and the net. He plays as low as he can, leaving Roy with few options. He vainly tries a stick check, but Wingels is able to shove the puck over to the on-rushing Boyle.
Good teams will beat you on the mistakes you make. The Canucks didn't force enough out of the Sharks, while the Sharks finally found ways to break down the Canucks. Those are always going to happen.
In a similar vein, think about the Canucks' first goal. It was ugly as hell. It was a mess in front of the net. They'd nearly scored in a similar fashion minutes before, but Alex Edler's pop-up shot had landed atop the net, instead of inside the cage. Both were sequences were the Canucks swarmed the net and caused a ruckus for Antti Niemi.
The Canucks need to make that work more effectively in game two, because the Sharks sure as heck aren't going to be giving up much from the slot.
I wondered at the time why the goal was allowed when there was a Sharks player standing in the crease.
He didn't appear to be pushed there by Corrado although Corrado was battling with him, and the puck never was in the crease. There was no way Luongo could possibly move thru that Sharks player to attempt to make a save.
But, thems the breaks.
How is no one making a bigger deal of Raymond completely blowing his coverage? He looks over, sees Boyle open and pressuring, and then turns away... Mind-boggling. If Raymond stays on his check he should be able to tie up Boyle's stick and hopefully prevent this easy goal.

President Trump, his fossil fuel administration, and anti-conservationists in Congress are attacking America's public lands!
Donate today and help save America the beautiful. Your gift today could be what stands between our public lands and Big Oil's drills.
The BLM's new wind and solar leasing rule will guide clean energy projects to low-conflict, pre-screened areas to increase renewable energy on public lands, helping reduce greenhouse gases and the impacts of climate change.
Known as the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan, the Obama administration's proposal will protect 4.2 million acres of wild and vulnerable public land while setting aside specific areas for clean energy development.
Climate change is devastating wild lands and the wildlife that thrives inside them, according to findings of a government study.
The Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan (DRECP) was initiated to find appropriate places for development—and just as important—those that are not.
Three years ago, the Bureau of Land Management designated low-conflict areas for solar energy development on public lands in the Southwest through its Western Solar Plan.
Though some of us grapple with a fear of the dark in our formative years, many Americans don't truly know the meaning of the term.
The pope is expected to focus on climate during his first papal visit to the United States. On Sept. 24, Pope Francis will be the first pope ever to address the U.S. Congress.
Hundreds of people interested in the future of clean energy gathered in Las Vegas recently to join discussions and hear thoughts from President Obama as part the 8th annual Clean Energy Summit hosted by Senator
The president has been on a roll with taking action on climate change by recently finalizing the Clean Power Plan
There is no greater threat to the long term health of our wild lands than climate change and today's commitment by President Obama will help ensure that polluting sources of energy are not threatening our health or our lands.
Trump is already checking off the oil and gas industry's wish list and now his anti-conservation partners in Congress are following in kind. Stand up to them!

The shape of the Japanese 'drum bridge' seen here, allowed for Hiroshige to frame a view with this graceful arch. In this composition Inside Kameido Tenjin Shrine, Hiroshige places the 'drum bridge' in the distance. It's steep arch frames the tea houses that border the pond.
The real frame in this image however is the wisteria trellis. The wisteria along with the bridge, made the grounds of this shrine a popular place to enjoy leisure activities. Monet must have been fond of this famous bridge since he built his own version of it with a wisteria trellis over the pond in his garden— which can be seen in the painting of the Japanese bridge later in this exhibition.

Acura launches into the 2001 model year with an invigorated line up, buoyed by the launch of its first, designed-from-the-ground-up luxury sport utility vehicle -- the MDX -- and a completely redesigned CL luxury performance coupe. Both models emphasize Acura's performance and engineering attributes without compromising the quality and reliability buyers have come to expect from the brand.
"Acura's line up has reached new heights this model year, with the addition of the all-new CL and our first Acura-designed luxury sport utility vehicle," said Dick Colliver, executive vice president, Acura Division. "Our aim now is to continue to refine and enhance the line to provide the most innovative vehicles on the market today."
Introduced in the spring, the all-new Acura 3.2 CL is setting a strong sales pace while boosting the brand's performance image. Offering the best performance, luxury and value in its class, the new CL coupe is available in two distinct models -- the fully-featured 3.2 CL and the high-performance 3.2 CL Type S. Both CL models offer state-of-the-art technology, advanced safety engineering and a comprehensive list of standard luxury amenities.
Joining the line-up this fall is the MDX, a fully-featured luxury SUV that combines exhilarating performance and outstanding all-weather handling with a five-star safety performance*, class-leading fuel-economy, 50-state ultra low vehicle emissions (ULEV) and a uniquely transformable seven-passenger interior.
"The Acura MDX represents a giant leap forward in the evolution of the luxury SUV," said Dick Colliver, executive vice president, Acura Division. "With its versatile seating environment, world-class power, handling and luxury features, the MDX is positioned to be a breakthrough model in its market segment."
Designed as a true luxury performance SUV, the Acura MDX combines a highly rigid unit- body structure, advanced all-aluminum 3.5 liter VTEC V-6 engine generating 240 horsepower and 245 lb.-ft. of torque, a 5-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel independent suspension to deliver sports sedan-like driving performance.
In addition, the MDX employs Acura's innovative, new, fully automatic VTM-4 four-wheel drive system, which offers the best elements of full-time and automatic four-wheel drive to deliver a truly superior level of driver control in all types of weather and road conditions.
The NSX has earned its status as one of the world's premier sports cars and continues its legacy into the new millennium. The exotic NSX features all-aluminum construction and is powered by an advanced 290 horsepower DOHC, VTEC, V-6 engine coupled to a 6-speed close-ratio manual transmission.
As Acura's flagship luxury performance sedan, the 3.5 RL continues to establish itself as a leader in its class. Offering exceptional performance, handling and ride comfort, the RL provides a spacious, fully featured interior. Showcasing many of Acura's most advanced technologies, the RL includes a Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system, which enhances driver control during acceleration and cornering by adding lateral control to the vehicle's Traction Control System (TCS) and Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS). In addition, the RL features an advanced side air bag system with front-passenger height and position sensors and a dual-stage, front passenger supplemental restraint system (SRS) airbag.
The Acura 3.2 TL is the number one selling luxury performance sedan among all import nameplates and has set new month-to-month sales records every month since its introduction. For 2001, the TL returns with its competent 225 horsepower, all-aluminum, 24-valve, VTEC, V-6 engine, featuring a 5-speed automatic transmission with Sequential SportShift, which puts control in the hands of the driver.
In addition to the comprehensive list of standard equipment offered on the TL, Acura adds carpeted floor mats and a new emergency trunk release for the '01 model year.
For 2001, the Integra line of Sports Coupes and Sports Sedans is refined and adds carpeted floor mats as standard equipment, an emergency trunk release (sedan models only) and four new exterior colors.
The Integra models feature high performance 1.8-liter DOHC engines, state-of-the-art double wishbone suspension, 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS and a long list of standard comfort and convenience features. The high-revving, NSX-inspired Integra Type R also returns for the new model year.
Acura offers a full line of premium performance vehicles through a nationwide network of nearly 260 dealers. The Acura line up features six distinct models including the exotic NSX supercar, the 3.5 RL flagship luxury sedan, the best-selling 3.2 TL luxury performance sedan, the all-new 3.2 CL luxury performance coupe, the fun-to-drive Integra and the revolutionary MDX luxury sport utility vehicle.

Statue of a dignitary, Vera Cruz culture, 200-500 AD.
200 - 900
Other vases found show sculpted objects referring to cocoa beans, while other recipients look similar to the cocoa pod itself.
Mayan culture
The planting of the cocoa seeds and harvesting of the cocoa pods
were related to very important and religious rituals in the Mayan
society. They offered fruits, feathers and animals to the god of
fertility (Hobnil), the god of rain (Chac) and the god of cocoa
(Ek Chuah) to please them and get a good harvest in turn.
Cup with picture of Chac, the god of rain, 500 AD
One of the ancient Mayan mythical "bibles" Popl Vuh tells the
creation stories, the sagas and victories of the Mayans and often
refers to cocoa. It tells the story of the divine twins that have
freed the world from the terror of the demons. Illustrations of
these legends and the tales about the twin brothers have been
found: they show the twins offering vases with cocoa to the god D.
Also the holy Mayan book of Chilam Balam refers to the cocoa
tree: it symbolizes the sacred tree that was planted in the days of
the "Dark Age" to indicate the four directions of the wind before
the coming of Light.
It also was used in the Mayan, and later the Aztec culture in several composite words like nocacau (my money) or mocacau (your money). The Spanish retained the word cacau since it was clear that it was linked to the subject being exchanged: the cocoa bean. Therefore the Spanish were convinced that the name cacau was related to the plant species cocoa.

By Special to the NEMS Daily Journal
AMORY – With a full schedule the first full week of the 2013 baseball season, the Tupelo Golden Wave got their second straight solid pitching performance by a senior.
Michael Henley hurled a one-hit complete game as the Wave came from behind to defeat the New Hope Trojans 6-2 Thursday in action at the Amory Tournament.
"Michael Hensley struggled a bit in the first inning, then calmed down," Tupelo head coach Gary Enis said. "He is another of our pitchers that need to get innings under his belt.
"He battled in the strike zone tonight against a very good team."
Hensley's five-inning performance against New Hope (2-1) backed up Ben Matthews' seven-inning complete game Wednesday in a 7-1 win over Alcorn Central.
New Hope brought in its own challenge for the Wave (3-1), having scored 19 runs total in its first two contests.
And the Trojans certainly threatened in the first inning, loading the bases on a wild pitch third strike, a walk, and a hit batter.
But Hensley (2-0) got out of the jam allowing only one run with a sacrifice fly and a strike out.
New Hope added a second run in the bottom of the second on a walk, then a triple by Will Golson.
Wake-up call
Tupelo's bats woke up against New Hope ace Landon Boyd (1-1) in the third inning.
With two outs, a walk and an error set up a game-tying double by junior Hudson Roy. Juniors Michael Ray followed with an RBI hit, then Ty Wheeler with a solid two-run home run to push the Wave up 5-2.
"We faced a good pitcher tonight, and that is going to do nothing but make us better," Enis said. "We had some big swings at the right time.
"Our 2, 3 and 4 hitters made good contact, and put pressure on their defense."
Tupelo added a solo run in the fifth on a bases loaded walk by Wheeler.
The Amory Tournament play continues today with Amory-Nettleton at 3:30 p.m., Hamilton-Itawamba AHS at 5:30 p.m., and Tupelo-Oxford at 7:30 p.m.
AMORY 1, SALTILLO 0: In the nightcap at the Amory tourney, Jake Childers' walkoff single broke up a scoreless game that saw just six hits total until the seventh inning.
Jon David Poss grabbed the win for Amory (2-0) in relief, going three innings, striking out two and allowing one hit, while Tory Gifford took the loss for Saltillo (0-4).
Amory starter Destin Hahn struck out six in his four innings of work. "I thought we did a good job of making things happen when we had to," Amory coach Chad Williams. "I thought we played some good defense. Our pitching isn't where I thought it would be, and our bats were pitiful tonight."
Melissa Meador, Monroe Journal

Employers are finding that employee wellness programs are just what the doctor ordered. These health management initiatives are designed to keep healthy workers in top form, while helping those with chronic conditions to better manage their illnesses.
See also: AARP Best Employers for Workers Over 50
Wellness programs seem to be working. Companies that provide them say these programs result in lower health care costs and fewer sick days used. Rising health care costs are of major concern to employers of all sizes, as well as employees. According to the Aon Hewitt 2012 Health Care Survey, employer spending on employee health care continues to escalate — an increase of 40 percent over the past six years to an average of $8,000 per employee. At the same time, employee spending on out-of-pocket health care costs continues to climb, increasing 82 percent over the same period; outpacing their average income gains.
Wellness programs also boost employee engagement and productivity and help in recruitment and retention. Wellness initiatives can reduce inpatient admissions and emergency room visits, minimize complications, and improve quality of life.
According to the 2012 Willis Health and Productivity Survey, 60 percent of employers indicated that they have some type of wellness program, an increase of 13 percent from 2010. Additionally, employers are not scaling back — 58 percent indicate they plan to expand their wellness initiatives with programs or resources. It's not only large firms that are signing on. A 2012 poll of more than 11,700 businesses across industries and of various sizes conducted by United Benefits Advisors revealed that the largest increase and fastest growth in adoption came from organizations with 500 to 999 employees and those with 50 to 99 employees (23.7 percent).
What Do Wellness Programs Cover?
Wellness programs cover a variety of services: health risk appraisals, flu shots, weight-management, smoking cessation and stress reduction programs, onsite fitness centers and health club discounts, Web-based health and fitness tools, and mental health and substance abuse counseling.
Originally, wellness initiatives focused on major illness such as diabetes, asthma, or heart disease. But employers have found that it's smart business to address mental health issues as well. Behavioral health problems are the fifth-leading cause of short-term disability and rank third for long-term disability.
Money Matters
Why would companies want the extra work of managing the health of their workers? Among other reasons, if you can keep employees in the pink, they'll use health care services less, costing businesses less. In the Hewitt poll, two-thirds of companies said that wellness programs helped rein in their health costs by an average of five to 12 dollars per employee, per condition annually. Other statistics put business returns in the range of $1.50 to $17 per dollar invested.

The U.S. Senate votes to move ahead with a debate on online sales tax.
The U.S. Senate voted 74 – 20 late today to move forward with a debate on a bill that would broadly increase the collection of online sales tax by Internet and catalog retailers. The bill could come to a final vote in the Senate later this week.
Today's vote was almost identical to the Senate's vote last month on a nonbinding resolution that supported the sales tax bill.
The vote followed the Obama Administration's endorsement earlier in the day of the legislation before the Senate, known as the Marketplace Fairness Act, or Senate bill S. 743.
"The Administration strongly supports S. 743, which will level the playing field for local small business retailers that are in competition every day with large out-of-state online companies," the White House said in a statement.
The White House went on to say that the current system, under which many online and catalog retailers don't collect sales tax, has created a disparity that "undermines the ability of cities and states to invest in K-12 education, police and fire protection, access to affordable health care, and funding for roads and bridges." At the same time, it adds, "Internet-facilitated sales continue to grow as a share of total transactions, contributing to ongoing state budget pressures."
In addition, the Obama Administration contends that "collection technologies have improved and states have made significant strides to cut red tape and simplify their tax systems."
Supporters of the Marketplace Fairness Act say it's significant the Obama Administration came out in support of the bill today, even if it's too soon to say how its support might affect arguments and actions by members of Congress. "We find the administration's first comment on the bill a very positive step, but we'll have to see the results" in any Congressional action, says a spokesman for the National Retail Federation, an industry group of retail chains that supports the bill.
But Steve DelBianco, executive director of NetChoice, a group respresenting eBay Inc., Overstock.com Inc. and other e-retailers opposed to the bill, says he doubts that support by the White House will help to get the bill enacted. "White House endorsement shouldn't give senators much comfort, given the backlash from the Administration's last attempt to impose new burdens and barriers on business," he says, referring to the 2010 Affordable Care Act, health care legislation popularly known as Obamacare.
The Marketplace Fairness Act is backed by Amazon.com Inc., which is increasingly collecting sales tax as it builds distribution centers in more states, as well as by retail chains, who contend that the bill will provide a more level playing field by requiring web-only retailers to collect sales tax. If enacted into law, the bill will overturn existing federal law that says states can only mandate sales tax collection by retailers with an in-state physical presence, or nexus in legal terms, such as stores and distribution centers. Amazon, which has been expanding its number of distribution centers to about 40 throughout the U.S., is No. 1 in the Internet Retailer Top 500.
Overstock.com, eBay and other online retail companies that oppose the bill contend that it would put an undue burden on web retailers to collect sales tax in each of the roughly 9,500 taxing jurisdictions around the country, each of which has its own rates and rules about which items are subject to sales tax.
The bill exempts retailers that do less than $1 million in annual remote sales, or sales to customers in states where the retailer has no physical presence.
Although sponsors of the bill, including Senator Dick Durbin (D, IL) say they believe the strong support in the Senate will let the bill come to a final vote this week, a spokeswoman for Durbin notes that the bill's opponents are trying to delay a vote. If the vote doesn't occur this week, it will have to come up in May after next week's recess, she says.

Rapala Scatter Rap Crank Deep
The Rapala Scatter Rap Crank Deep combines Rapala's classic balsa body with an elongated version of the revolutionary Scatter Lip to create the ultimate tool for exploring deeper waters. Designed with a unique upward curve, the Scatter Lip causes the Rapala Scatter Rap Crank Deep to behave as if it were deflecting off of cover, even when there is none around. This evasive and highly unpredictable action forces bass to strike on sheer impulse and can be manipulated by simply adjusting your retrieve speed. Finished with two razor-sharp VMC black nickel trebles, the Rapala Scatter Rap Crank Deep puts a modern twist on Rapala's proven crank frame to provide the most erratic and evasive action that bass have ever seen in deep waters.

Customer Reviews
Comments: On a pressured lake where the bass are known to be difficult to catch, this thing is deadly. The smaller profile in deeper water really makes a difference, and when you add the action of the bill, the fish cant resist. I have caught a lot of fish on all of the crank models.
From: Alex: Lake Keowee, SC 5/4/14
Comments: The trick that they don't tell you, is how to make it scatter. It's quite simple, really. Just change the speed of your retrieve. When you speed it up suddenly, it zips off to the side it's pointed at at that moment. Great action once you learn the trick, hope this helps people.
From: Dave: Catawba River Chain, NC 4/19/14
Comments: I am very satisfied with the shallow scatter raps! I hope the deep ones provide the action just like the others I have, definitely going to be purchasing one or two of these!

Chargers, Turner live another day
SAN DIEGO – The Chargers finally won a football game Thursday night, and they aren't about to apologize for its lack of artistry.
These are desperate times for San Diego, whose quarterback can't make it through a game without committing an inexplicable blunder, and whose coach can't make it through a day without fielding questions about his future.
Let the record show that the Chargers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, 31-13, to end a three-game losing streak. For all the angst they have caused their fans lately, the Chargers are 4-4, which isn't such a terrible place to be in the AFC. As of right now, it's a half-game out of a wild-card berth.
Not that San Diego looks or feels like a playoff team. A week after losing to the then 1-6 Browns, the Chargers had to scratch and claw to beat the Chiefs (1-6), the final margin notwithstanding. It was 10-6 through three quarters before the Chiefs, being the Chiefs, imploded. But at least the Chargers battled through the bad stuff this time.
"That was really important," veteran tight end Randy McMichael said. "The one thing we didn't want to have was the feeling of 'here we go again.'"
That thought undoubtedly crossed the minds of the 55,831 fans in attendance at Qualcomm Stadium just before the end of the first half. That's when Philip Rivers did something a ninth-year pro never should.
With his team ahead, 10-3, and facing third-and-goal at the 1-yard line with 21 seconds left, Rivers faked a handoff and rolled to his right. The Chiefs weren't fooled. But instead of throwing the ball away and taking a 13-3 lead into the locker room, Rivers forced the ball toward Dante Rosario. Eric Berry picked it off, and a quarterback, who had completed 14 of 16 passes in the first half, exited the field to thunderous boos.
"That's just a terrible play," Rivers said. "I know better."
Rivers finished 18 of 20 for 220 yards and two touchdowns, becoming just the sixth quarterback in league history to complete 90 percent or better in a game with at least 20 attempts. Still, the interception put him on pace to match last season's total of 20. In his first five seasons as a starter, Rivers never threw more than 15 picks.
Theories abound about Rivers' struggles, the most plausible one being that he doesn't have as much talent around him. Two offseasons ago the Chargers chose not to re-sign Darren Sproles, possibly the best pass-catching tailback in the league. This past offseason they lost Vincent Jackson, one of the NFL's premier deep threats.
With free-agent signees Robert Meachem and Eddie Royal out Thursday, the Chargers' second and third receivers were recent off-the-street pickups Danario Alexander and Seyi Ajirotutu. To their credit they made plays, totaling four catches for 89 yards.
Ajirotutu signed Monday. He didn't even appear in the supplemental bios in the Chargers' weekly media notes. Yet on third-and-5 on San Diego's first drive, he made a diving 28-yard grab. Four plays later, the Chargers had a 7-0 lead they wouldn't surrender. (The Chiefs, remarkably, have yet to lead in regulation play this season.)
"He had been here all of 72 hours," Rivers said of Ajirotutu, a third-year pro from Fresno State. "That definitely jump-started us."
The Chargers drew further inspiration from their embattled coach, Norv Turner. A report surfaced Thursday, via plugged-in San Diego Union-Tribune columnist Kevin Acee, that Turner would be fired if the Chargers didn't beat the Chiefs. It isn't an unpopular sentiment around here.
The locker room is another story, according to Rivers.
"We didn't talk about it specifically, but we want to win for him every week," Rivers said. "We play for our coach."
While the Rivers-led offense was workmanlike, the defense was suffocating, keeping the Chiefs out of the end zone until garbage time and scoring two touchdowns itself in the fourth quarter.
"I don't think that we've been playing bad ball," said linebacker Demorrio Williams, who returned an interception 59 yards for a score. "I just don't think that we've been finishing games."
Despite all their issues, the Chargers aren't finished. Halfway through a turbulent season, that's something.
