Dear Scorpion,
Who is the girl on the new "A Tout Le Monde"?
Mark P.
Dearest Mark,
The female vocals on A Tout Le Monde (Set Me Free) on United Abominations were done by none other than the lovely and talented Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil. Dave Mustaine explains how she was chosen and how the song was transformed from the original: "I'd wanted to hear that song as a duet, since it truly was a song of love. But the person had to be perfect; had to be angelic. I decided, and I have sang 'A Tout Le Monde' again with Cristina Scabbia because she is that person. I had Lisa Marie Presley confirmed, as well as two other attempts, but Cristina was the obvious choice for our metal community.
The song was sped up a little, like it was supposed to be on 'Youthanasia' before all the tempos were turned down. It has a 50% longer solo of original Glen Drover lead guitar blending into the original [Marty] Friedman solo, and launching off of that at the end of the solo taking it up a little bit more."
Cristina was born on 6-6-72 in Milan, Italy. She started in Lacuna Coil as a backup singer and now has taken the role of frontwoman. Her influences include older bands like Genesis, Zeppelin, and even traditional Italian music. Lacuna has toured with bands like Rob Zombie and Moonspell, and have been part of such festivals as Ozzfest 2006, the
2007 Jaegermeister Tour, and the Hottest Chicks in Metal Tour, for which your ole pal the Scorp had a front row seat, to be sure mate. You can catch Lacuna Coil on the Euro festival circuit, with concerts such as Wacken Open Air next month, and at their Japanese show debut at Loudpark Festival this October. Until next time, keep your questions coming and try to keep cool.

Hey scorpion,
My name is Erica and I am wondering a couple of things. 1 will Dave visit his myspace page I am trying to befriend him and have sent him some messages while he was over seas. 2 will MEGADETH be touring back here in the states again? I go mainly to Hartford CT or like SPAC in NY. I have been dying to see them and possibly meet him for years now. I have dedicated my myspace page and my dirtbag music page to him and MEGADETH. Love him fan forever.
Two for the price of one huh? Ok, well let's get to it. To answer your first question, Dave Mustaine does not have an OFFICIAL individual Myspace page at this point. There are many impostors out there, so don't be fooled by the so-called Dave Mustaine pages. These are fan pages, and not the man himself. What he does have is the official Megadeth Myspace, conveniently located at http://www.myspace.com/megadeth. This site is run by our very own System Lord, Megannie. Currently, the official Megadeth Myspace has almost 178,000 fans, so Miss Annie certainly has her hands full! She updates the page often, so your friend request will be answered shortly, if it has not already since you wrote to me. Patience little grasshopper! And there is a disclaimer on the page that "Megadeth reads myspace messages, however it is impossible for the band to respond to each and all messages. Responding to each and all messages in itself would be a full time job." And I think we'd all prefer Dave to be a professional musician over a professional Myspacer! So keep writing to me here for all your Megadeth queries.
To answer your second question, Megadeth just officially announced the 2007 US Tour of Duty, which includes stops near your hometown. Your ole pal the Scorp has been to the east coast before so I know how easy it is to make the trek from one city to another there. Get your tickets early because New York City has already sold out! Keep an eye on the Killing Road at Megadeth.com for all the latest tour dates and sales stats. Until next time, keep your questions coming and see you on the road!

Dear ScorpioN,
I just got my copy of Black Swan from the FYE special presale offer. This is such a killer tune, I'm wondering if you could tell us what it is about and why wasn't it on United Abominations? Thanks!!
Dearest Jessica,
Isn't Black Swan a great song? One of my favorites from the new album too. I get this question a lot, so I asked Dave Mustaine what it was about and why it didn't make the cut for United Abominations. Here is what he told me: "Black Swan was just a peek into my past and things that creep me out a little bit."
I did a little bit of research on my own on this "black swan" fellow, and I found out that according to author Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a black swan is a large-impact, hard-to-predict, and rare event beyond the realm of normal expectations. Much of scientific discoveries for him are black swans"undirected" and unpredicted. The September 11 attacks are sometimes referred to as a black swan event. The term comes from the belief in Western culture that all swans should be white in color. So by that logic, a black swan would not exist. However, actual black swans were discovered in the 1600s, so the black swan term came to mean that a perceived impossibility actually came to pass.
When I asked him why this track didn't make the final cut on the most recent Megadeth album, Dave said "the reason that it wasn't on UA was that someone felt that A Tour Le Monde (Set Me Free) was a better song and switched them. ATLM was, as we all know, supposed to have been on the Japanese release for a specialty track, since Led Zep is one of my favorite bands." So there was a little bit of a switcheroo going down after the cover of Out on the Tiles was recorded it seems. Hope this clears things up, and don't let a black swan cross your path since it was just Friday the 13th!

Dear ScorpioN
one day i was flicking through channels when i saw an episode of duck dodgers that was starring dave mustaine! and i was wondering, did someone fake Dave's voice or is that actually Dave's voice?
Brendan from Calgary, Alberta
Dearest Brendan,
No, you were not just hearing things. That was indeed the voice of Dave Mustaine, starring as himself. The episode of Duck Dodgers you are referring to is called "In Space, No-one Can Hear You Rock/Ridealong Calamity". It originally aired Saturday, November, 5th 2005 on the Cartoon/Boomerang Network. In this episode, the Martians create a weapon to drain energy from Earth's music and use its atomic power to destroy the Earth. Dodgers unfreezes Dave to play enough heavy metal to overload the device. Megaduck rules! Now I've always known Dave was a rock star, but to save the planet as well? My hat is off to you sir!
Duck Dodgers was not Mustaine's only television appearance. He has also been featured on Rock N Roll Jeopardy!, The Drew Carrey Show, Black Scorpion, Behind the Music, I Love the 80s, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Top Ten, Headbanger's Ball, CNN, and several others. Seems he's had quite the tv career. Black Scorpion was my personal fav, natch. Keep those questions coming and Happy Independence Day!

Dear Scorpion,
I've been a megadeth fan for quiet some time now. It has taken me a painstaking 3 1/2 years to obtain a copy of KIMB, I now own it completes the megadeth cd collection up to date. But I was slightly confused as i've heard a copy of megadeths cover song "these boots" and it was awesome, nothing to complain about there. But it is on my copy of KIMB 2002 re-issue that i've entered a dilemma, it seems for some reason the cover song has been censored? I was reading through the liner notes trying to find a damn good explanation for this, but to no prevail. so, i'm hoping you can shed some light on this issue? why did they take in my opinion the best bits of the song out and replace them with a half assed "BEEP" if you will?
Dear Drew,
The censorship of this song was a pretty good way of "sticking it to the man" so to speak. Dave Mustaine explains: "Some of you may be asking (don't feel alone, there were many others who did too), 'is 'Boots'
going to be on the re-release?'
"Well, unfortunately, there is a 'two-part' answer to your 1-part question. 1) Yes, and 2) No. Yes, the song is going to be including 'our version.' No, we had to change the "changes" I made to the original 'original' version. You see, initially the remake of 'These Boots Are Made For Walking' was a joke. I thought it was alright to have some fun with it, because the original version sucked. Lee Hazelwood, the song's original writer, didn't quite see the humor in this. But he or his handlers are bereft of more than a sense of humor. Upon hearing our version, we were notified that Lee Hazelwood had taken umbrage to our version and deemed it 'vile and offensive' or some shit like that. What is really vile and offensive is that the checks from the records we sold that were sent to him were cashed for ten years before he said anything about his being knighted and now morally superior to having the dosh.
"I guess that was the same time he was suddenly struck with selective amnesia. Didn't he let Frank Sinatra's daughter record this song too?
Wasn't Frank alleged to have had ties with the mafia? Since when is a red-headed guitarist more intimidating than the mob?
"It's great to see you have ascended to the moral mountaintop. I guess with your 'Seraph' status, you won't need the money we sent you from down here amongst the peasants. Hell, I think I see a mail carrier. It might just be a check from HRH as we speak. I'll get back to you later."
So there we have it. The cover of These Boots did make it on the re-release of KIMB, but the seriously censored version is an obvious jab at the oversensitivities of certain folks in the music business. Your ole pal the Scorp is glad to be on this side of the biz where I can just rock out without giving a second thought to politics!
Until next time, keep your questions coming, but make sure to set aside some time to get out and enjoy the Summer, my favourite season!

Dear ScorpioN,
Hello, I'm a 13 year-old girl living in Wisconsin. I grew up listening to all sorts of Metal. My friends think I'm crazy. Anyhow I was just wondering if Glen and Shawn are related in any way? I've always been wondering, since they both have the same last name (Drover).
Obsessed Metal Fan, Madison Guevara
Dear Madison from Wisconsin,
Yes, the Drovers are in fact related. Brothers to be exact. This power duo joined Megadeth back in 2004, so I am still surprised how often I get this question lately. When Shawn joined the band after Glen had officially become a member of Megadeth, Glen said "Getting my brother into the fold that was weird. For me getting into the band that was weird, for both of us to get in it's like lightning strikes twice in the same place, which doesn't usually happen. He brought a lot of positivity to the band. He's a team player. He's great to work with, there's a great chemistry between me and him because we've been playing together since we were ten." The Brothers Drover hail from Toronto, Canada although Shawn now calls Atlanta home. This makes Megadeth officially half Canadian. The two also play together in a band called Eidolon.
Apparently it is not all that uncommon for brothers to join together in metal bands. For example, the Abbott brothers were the backbone of Pantera and the Amott brothers played together in Arch Enemy. Of their relationship as family and bandmates, the Drovers have said they are "close" and "hardly ever fight." Although when asked who the worst person to share the bus with was on tour, Glen said "my brother!"
Aren't drummers always the messy ones? United Abominations is the Drover Brothers' recording debut with Megadeth and is in stores now.

Dear Scorpion,
I've been into Megadeth for over 10 years now and they were actually the first band to influence me to play guitar. For this reason Im curious why Dave chose to leave ESP and start playing Dean Guitars.
'Ello Ben!
Dave Mustaine issued a press release as to why he left ESP a while back, and it went a little something like this. "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. I will make my announcement and be attending the 2007 NAMM show to meet Megadeth fans and all metal fans, musicians of all styles-especially guitarists."
And as we would find out, lad, this mystery company turned out to be Dean. Of his new relationship with Dean, Mustaine says "The whole process has been surreal. It's been dream-like, but is more real than any dream I've ever had. They understand what a guitarist expects out of his gear, and we share a vision, a loyalty and an understanding of guitars. Working with Dean has been one of the greatest thrills for me as a musician." Keep your eyes pealed for the new VMNT signature model at a Dean dealer near you! See you on the flip side!

Dear Scorpion,
I am curious as to how much communication Dave and the other members of the band have to bands like Dreamtheater, for example on the Gigantour 05' what goes into the selection of the bands? Is Dave friends with the members of the bands or does he just think of ideas to make the most ecclectic show to appeal to a vast audience. And also makes for excellent dvd's of the shows for fans to view.
Thank you for your time,
Barry Yeager
P.S. Looking forward to Megadeth's arrival in Philadelphia for the heaven and hell tour (tix bought and paid for !)
My dearest Yeagermeister,
One of the truly killer things about Gigantour is that Dave Mustaine hand picks every single band on the tour! All were chosen for special reasons based on diversity and musicianship. For example, Dream Theater was asked to be on the maiden voyage of Gigantour because Dave and Mike Portnoy became fast friends and wanted to tour together. Dream Theater recommended Symphony X for G1. Anthrax was an easy choice to finish up the tour, since they were one of the "pillars" of metal. Megadeth toured with Fear Factory back on the Reckoning Day tour, so they were a safe bet. Dave produced the Sanctuary CD "Refuge Denied" back in the day, and two members of Sanctuary went on to form Nevermore. It also helped that Glen and Shawn are Nevermore fans and that James MacDonough toured with them when he played bass for Iced Earth. Bobaflex was brought on as fresh new talent because Justis Mustaine, Dave's son, was a fan of the band. Talk about a lot of work and scrutiny! Your ole' pal the Scorp is willing to bet his bottom dollar that none of the leaders of these other "fests" put that kind of time and effort into picking the bands that bring all those lovely metal flavors to you kiddies! That's all for this week, but keep those question coming in and beware of the cicadas!

Dear ScorpioN,
In the archive files u mention a facelift 4 Vic contest & then at the Heaven & Hell tour I got a closer look at the cover of the new cd United... . Vic has skin? Did I miss the memo or over look something on the website. Is there a story behind Vic having skin? If there is I sure would like it if u would enlighten me. Megadeth rocks. I have been a fan 4 about 16 years & finally saw them live 4 the first time(I know, shame on me) at gigantour. Seeing Dave live, no words 2 describe it. The energy at his shows r so intense.I promise my intention is 2 never miss another 1. Oh & I can't help it if almost every person I set my sights on converting 2 a Megadeth fan is assimilated in the blink of an eye. I open the door & Dave lures them in. I'm going 2 meet up with a band next week, maybe I'll be their new singer. My only issue is all they want 2 do is motley crew covers. By the end of our first phone call they were saying they could most likely play anything I requested. Wish me luck, I'm hoping 2 bring these poor boys into the fold.
Tell(Shewolf Forever)
From Edmonton
Well Tell, I'll tell ya... I had a chance to speak with the creator of the "revamped skinned Vic" John Lorenzi, and here is what he had to say:
"As most everyone here probably already knows, this all started back at DeviantArt. Dave Mustaine had orchestrated their biggest contest ever, with guitars for whoever could come up with a redesign for Vic Rattlehead. They provided a excerpt of the lyrics for "Skull Beneath the Skin" as a guide and inspiration. The essence of that song is pretty much the recipe for building this tormented character. The first piece I entered in the contest was the one most similar to the original design. Then I worked my way backwards in time with the next two designs. The idea behind my version of Vic, or what I wanted to see as the new Vic was to bring him back around to the beginning of his life story. I never had any intension to make a new Vic, but to take him back to when he actually became Vic Rattlehead. I mean, he had to have skin at some point right? That's how it played itself out in my head anyway. Whether or not I conveyed that remains to be seen.
Megadeth was back in the studio with the intent to bring it's sound to it's truest form, some of which was also heading back to it's beginning. It only seemed natural to head in that same direction. The end product for the album art was an amalgam of these pictures and a vision that Dave clearly already had. We communicated the tweaks and changes until he had what he wanted.
There was so much good art going on in the contest, like 3000 entries, it would've been easy to get lost in those numbers. By the end of the contest, I had entered three times, a trilogy, two of which ended in the top 11. Incidentally, for those of you keeping score, I didn't win, the contest anyways. When it was over it had appeared as though I lost twice. As far as my kids were concerned I won. They constantly tell me as they strum the air of their "imaginary" guitars. Collaborating with a music legend I think I won, even though some like to point out that I didn't. The glory alone should last me forever. It was an honor and a priveledge. Thanks Dave.
I'm a Californian, currently stranded in Colorado doing the starving artist thing with my wife and two boys. Right now I'm just waiting for the album like everyone else. I hope everyone enjoys the artwork as much as I enjoyed doing it."
So Tell, it looks like skin is in! Until next time...
- 04/05/2007
Dear ScorpioN,
Hi, I wanted to know if you know what the design on the front of the Cryptic Writings album means. Or is it just some random artwork? Thanks!
Well Drew, the cover was done by renowned album cover designer Hugh Syme. Mr. Syme has done artwork for such notable artists as Aerosmith, Nevermore, Queensryche, and Rush. Dave Mustaine gave the following description of this ancient symbol.
"It's called a veve ... It's a voodoo symbol... It means that you can enter into a premises, that it's safe and there is no poison. It's a warning telling you where you can and can not go. It's also a direction. Most of the hobos were people who practiced voodoo. They would go from building to building whether it was a shanty or it was a shack. They would go in there and they'd find chalk writings on the wall that told them if it was a safe place. It was usually done with a burnt stick... When I first got the artwork back it was littered with voodoo symbols and all kinds of stuff. I told them that it was too heavy. I didn't want anything on there that would give homage to pagan gods and shit like that. I want it to be about the music. As it is, that symbol right there, we don't really know exactly what the combination of everything is. We know pretty much what the breakdown of each symbol is but it's like crossing different kinds of medications. You take two separate medications and they have a different and combined effect. There might be something where those symbols counter another symbol and turn it into something else."
So there we have it mate. No poison, eh? Who needs that!?! Guess you won't be seeing your pal the Scorp in a veve shack anytime soon!

Dear ScorpioN,
I'm one of the many Megadeth fans down under in NZ, wonderful place but sadly lacking in Metal influence and since we are so small we often get over looked when it comes to tours. With the release of the new album is there any chance we will be lucky enough to see Megadeth reach our shores anytime soon? It would make alot of New Zealanders very happy!!!
G'day mate!
While Megadeth would love to play everywhere in the world, the upcoming tour in support of United Abominations is said to be in very select cities only. So they probably won't be hitting NZ anytime in the very near future, but there is always a good chance! The best thing to do to get them to come to your country (and this goes for all of the countries out there that Megadeth doesn't get to as often as you'd like) is to create a buzz about the new album by joining the Street Team at Roadrunner Records and spreading the word about Megadeth to your local concert promoters. Megadeth has always been impressed with the Kiwis, and describes the fans there as "over the top"! Hopefully they will return sooner than later with your help!

Hello scorpion,
i know that Dave's favourite arena is the one from Buenos Aires,Argentina ,and i saw some interviews saying that he loves argentina and stuff...
i just wanted to know if Mustaine also like Chile , cuz' i'm chilean and you know ... Dave is my hero
Santiago, Chile
Dave Mustaine=God Of Metal
'Ello Ben!
Mr. Mustaine indeed loves Chile! He has a very special relationship with Argentina where, incidentally, the new Megadeth live album "That One Night: Live in Buenos Aires" which will be available on CD and DVD on March 6, was taped. But he also loves Chile and its people with all their enthusiasm for Megadeth. He had this to say in "Mustaine Speaks" a while back:
"Well, the Chilean show was fantastic! To all the beautiful people of Chile, I am glad I got to see you all once again. You are fabulous and we love you all."
Now if that doesn't give you warm fuzzies Ben, especially right before Valentine's Day, then you must be made of stone!

Dear ScorpioN,
A few years ago I got into Megadeth beacause of Peace Sells on Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and I got the soundtrack for it. Then I got Greatest Hits, but Peace Sells sounded somehow different than Peace Sells on the GTA soundtrack. Am I crazy or were different versions used for their respective cds?
Dan K
Well Dan, looks like its off to the loony bin with ya. The version of Peace Sells on the GTA: Vice City soundtrack and on Back to the Start are the same. Maybe the version in GTA sounds shorter to you because you get killed in the game and have to start over before you can hear the whole song! Practice makes perfect mate.
- 09/18/2006
Dear ScorpioN,
I had a question about the new album's (United Abominations) cover. I thought that the winner's design of the Deviant Art Redesign Vic Contest would be on the new album cover. To my knowledge, the new Vic is not the deisgn from the contest. So, my question is why?
Adam from Ohio
The Deviant Art Redesign Vic contest never stated anything about the new album cover, or that the new redesigned Vic would be used for anything specific in the future. The contest asked artists to simply give Vic a "facelift", and the top three winners were awarded ESP guitars for their Vic creations. First prize won a LTD AXXION, second prize won a LTD DV8-R, and third won LTD DV200. Quite a group of prizes if you ask me mate.
- 08/21/2006
Dear ScorpioN,
I'm not gonna ask why you keep answering dumb questions about tours and even dumber questions about those questions. But anyway i was curious as to why Dave would let people wearing metallica shirts appear in the "peace sells" video during the "we the people" part where it shows a crowd of fans. Megadeth Rules
Good, I'm glad you didn't ask it because that would just perpetuate more dumb questions about dumber questions. However, I'm still going to address your comment. I answered that "dumb question" because the guy who asked it wouldn't leave well enough alone...so I had to in order to get him to pipe down. You know, a "dumb question" is a matter of opinion too.
With that said, onto your inquiry. I seriously doubt that Dave stood at the door and acted as Fashion Police for the video shoot, and he was once a member of Metallica...so where is the harm in his fans wearing a t-shirt from a band that he was in previously? Really, the fans make more of an issue out of the Megadeth vs. Metallica issue than the band members do. It's been beat to death, and debated ad nauseum. We all clearly have outstanding taste in music, so can't we all just get along?
- 07/17/2006
Dear ScorpioN,
I wouldn't answer those people's questions even if I did know the answer. How many times can the same question be asked, When are they going to TOUR??? They need to research and read the F N MEGA site or BLABBERMOUTH.NET.
Bloody hell, finally someone who agrees with me about all of this sodding whining and bs. Cheers to you mate.

Dear ScorpioN,
When will Megadeth summer concert dates be coming?
I can't wait to see them again!
Please let me know.
Charlotte, NC.
Dear ScorpioN,
I have asked you this question once, but I have not received a response.
Will Megadeth be touring in the states this summer?
I hope so!
Charlotte, NC.
Dear ScorpioN,
Hey when the F are you going to answer my question about Megadeth touring this summer?
You are a real slacker man!
SheWolf used to answer all of our questions, promptly I might add.
Matt Sorbo
North Carolina
Email to the Webmaster from Matt: The Scorpion only answers website questions, usually from teenie boppers that no nothing about the band.(Take a look at the question & answer section.)I have e-mailed the Scorpion 2-3 times trying to find out if Megadeth will be touring the states at some point this year, and haven't gotten an answer back. Shewolf was the greatest! She took additonal time to actually e-mail us fans directly to answer our questions. Who ever you have doing this Scorpion thing, he is a real loser and surely not a plus to the bands website. TY Matt
Well Mr. Sorbo, I guess you can't read, or chose to ignore the following statement that can be found in the disclaimer at the bottom of this very page:
ScorpioN will not reply to all emails, and will not be able to answer every question asked.
With that said, you need to watch your smarmy tongue young man. You're messing with the wrong arachnid. How can you expect me to answer your question, if Megadeth themselves don't even know the answer? I CAN tell you that Megadeth is confirmed to play Metalway Festival in Spain on July 28 in Jerez and July 30 at the Fútbol de Santa Lucía in Gernika. So, with the utmost certainty, I can also tell you that they WON'T be playing anywhere in the U.S. on July 28th or 30th. I DON'T KNOW when the tour dates will be announced, but I can tell you that your best bet is to check here at megadeth.com to find out. They will be posted as soon as they are announced, it's not a conspiracy to keep the information from you, the information just isn't available yet. May I suggest that you sign up at the megadeth.com message boards, that will enable you to stay on top of all things Mega without pestering me all of the time. If you did your research and really "know" so much more about the band than these "teenie boppers", you wouldn't have to ask me such questions in the first place. If you are such a know it all fan, you would already know that Megadeth is currently in the studio recording their next album, which is slated to be released late this year, and that Gigantour will run from September thru October, and that no specific dates have been announced yet, or the line-up of bands. On Megadeth's Official My Space, Dave Mustaine said the following in his blog entry: "Gigantour 2006 starting the second week of September, until Middle of October", so may I also suggest that you take the time to check out that blog entry and more at www.myspace.com/megadeth. There is a plethora of Mega-information out there, you just have to get off yer lazy arse, search it out, and trust that as soon as we have any info concerning tour dates we will promptly post it for all to see.

Dear ScorpioN,
I was wondering as it doesn't say on the site, how you actually join the Megadeth street team, hope you can help!
Megadeth Live!
All you need to do is contact a "Street Team Leader" via their email address, which can be found on the street team page here at megadeth.com. If there isnt a leader in your area, you can always e-mail megadeth.com's esteemed webmaster (email@example.com) about it.

Dear ScorpioN,
what is the name of the song and album that I can find, (portion of the song goes like this). "Hello me its me again" in the video he is in a straight jacket and cell. thanx for your help.
Martin Jarosch
The name of the song is "Sweating Bullets", and it can be found on Megadeth's 1992 release "Countdown to Extinction".
- 05/29/2006
Dear ScorpioN,
Now that Megadeth is signed to Roadrunner Records, A strictly metal label, will the next release return Megadeth back to a speed/thrash metal style again and not as much pop like on KIMB or PSBWB? or will it be another TSHF, where all styles of megadeth are visible like how "Kick the Chair" sounds like it belongs on Rust In Peace and "The Scorpion" sounds like it belongs on Youthanasia
Thanks, Megafan,
Jaisen Wallace
by the way, you're cool enough to be tattoo' d on my back
I have to admit, I'm a bit baffled by your question mate. If you really believe that the word "pop" and the albums "Killing is My Business...and Business is Good!" and "Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?" belong in the same description (much less the same sentence) then we need to have a serious talk. That is VERY disturbing terminology to be used to describe those two albums. Dave Mustaine has said many times that each new album is not going to be "another ________" (fill in the blank with a Megadeth album title), and that it will be unique, new and different than all of their previous work. With that said, I'd say the chances of the new album being "another TSHF" are slim to none. I'd also say that their new record label having anything to do with the style of the album is bullocks...and that it will be Megadeth record that will reflect this day and age, much like all of their past albums have done at the time they were recorded.
In closing, I have a question for you my friend. When you got me tattooed on yer back...did it sting? ;-)~

Dear ScorpioN,
Who does the voice for the cheating girlfriend on the song 1000 Times Goodbye?
Mike Powers
Her name is Heather Keckler, and she was my predecessor in this Q&A section. She worked on megadeth.com for many years as a columnist under different monikers such as "Miss Megadeth" during the Cryptic Writings era, "Catnip" around the time Risk was released, and ultimately she was the "She-Wolf" Q&A columnist that I replaced.

Dear and not lowly ScorpioN,
The song " I know Jack" says:
"I served with Jack Kennedy
I knew Jack Kennedy
Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine
Senator you're no Jack Kennedy"
But who's Jack Kennedy?
Thanks, Pirox.
"I served with Jack Kennedy", "I knew Jack Kennedy", "Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine", and "Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy" were all famous statements made by Democratic Vice-Presidential Candidate Senator Lloyd Bentsen to Republican Vice-Presidential candidate Senator J. Danforth Quayle during the 1988 Vice-Presidential Debate. In these statements, Jack Kennedy was a reference to John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States. In the general election on November 8th 1960, Kennedy beat Republican Richard M. Nixon in a very close race. John F. Kennedy served as President of the United States from 1961 until November 22, 1963 when he was killed by an assassin's bullet in Dallas, Texas. At the age of forty-three, Kennedy was the youngest man elected President. His Inaugural Address offered the memorable injunction: "Ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country."

Dear ScorpioN,
I've been a MegadetH fan for a few years now. The first album I ever bought was "Capitol punishement". From the moment I heard the song "Use the man" I loved it.
One thing is on my mind though, what are we hearing in the beggining of the song? (I saw her today...) Is that MegadetH or some other band or perhaps is it a cover from MegadetH?
That question was on my mind for quite a while now...
Help me sleep better, thanks.
What you're hearing as the intro to the song "Use the Man" is a brief snippet of the song "Needles and Pins" by a band called "The Searchers". Needles and Pins was the working title of the album that "Use the Man" first appeared on, which was ultimately titled "Cryptic Writings". Sweet dreams mate.

Dear ScorpioN,
hi, i was wondering if anyone besides dave mustaine lives in arizona? i've lived in arizona ever since i was born (only 13 years ago!) and i don't know any cool famous people that live here (or have in the past) i only know of dave mustaine and kerry king, the guitarist to slayer...thanx!
Phoenix, Arizona
Amanda my dearest, you're smart for being such a young bird. Cheers for being a Megadeth fan at the ripe ol' age of 13. I hate to burst your bubble, but Dave no longer lives in Arizona. A little over a year or so ago he and his family moved to Southern California, which is his birthplace, so are no longer living in the Grand Canyon State. I hear the sodding heat there is unbearable, but I suppose I could handle the desert landscape being a ScorpioN and all. I'm not sure of Mr. Kings place of residence, but I do know that Rob Halford was, or is an Arizona resident, along with Alice Cooper, Stevie Nicks, and David Ellefson.

Dear ScorpioN,
It reads that the lyrics are written by Mustaine/Harris.
Who's Harris?
Harris, is Sean Harris of Diamond Head fame.

Dear ScorpioN,
i dont know why im sending this you never answer my questions but its worth a shot. was the song "in my darkest hour" written by Dave Mustaine for a tribute of Cliff Burton a former guitarist who died in a bus accident?
Never say never my dear.
The song "In My Darkest Hour" was written by Dave Mustaine, bit it is not a "tribute" to Cliff persay. Dave has said that he wrote the music the day he found out that his former Metallica bandmate (bassist) Cliff Burton died in the bus accident which was on September 27, 1986. However, the actual lyrics of "In My Darkest Hour" have nothing to do with Cliff or his passing, they are about something altogether different.

Dear ScorpioN,
I recently heard a song called "The Creed" which sounded very much like Megadeth but I couldn't find it on any Megadeth cd including soundtracks and bonus tracks off of the remasters. Where is it from?
It is from a collaboration that Dave Mustaine did with Lee Ving of FEAR. The album this song can be found on is called The Craving, and originally Mr. Ving did the vocals while Mr. Mustaine took on guitar duties. It was released back in 1996, but was remixed and remastered in 2004 along with 7 Megadeth albums. On the remixed and remastered version Mr. Mustaine re-sung the vocals for each of the MD45 songs, which may have given it more of this "Megadeth" sound that you speak of. Also, on the 2004 version there is a song that is titled "The Creed (Megadeth Demo)", which was previously unreleased.

Dear ScorpioN,
I'd like to know how vince rattlehead came about.
from,droogie jeff
Well my dear Droogie, I'd like to know who this Vince Rattlehead bloke is that you speak of, the only Rattlehead that I have knowledge of is named Vic.
Sorry mate, I'm just arseing with you.
Vic is Megadeth's mascot, and he was created by Dave Mustaine. He is described in the song "The Skull Beneath the Skin", which is on the album Killing is My Business..and Business Is Good.

Dear ScorpioN,
Who does that laugh at the beginning of Lucretia, coz everytime my mates dog hears it she goes absolutely nuts, barking and foaming at the mouth, now we always have to skip the intro to avoid severed limbs.
Its not Marge Simpson is it?
No kind sir, it is not Marge Simpson. Rather, it is a woman named Sandra Rabin, and if my knackered memory serves me correctly I believe she was a secretary at Laffitte Entertainment Division at the time RIP was recorded.
- 10/31/2005
Dear ScorpioN,
I heard that Dave was singing in Metallica instead of James on at least one gig in the bands very early days. A book on Metallica 'Fuel and Fire' confirms that, but I couldn't get hold of any recordings that would make it clear to me.
Thanks for your answer.
The reason why you can't find any recordings to confirm this, is because the book on Metallica is incorrect. Mr. Mustaine has answered this question before, so I will tell it to you straight from the horses mouth. He never sang lead on any Metallica songs, his voice can only be heard on backing vocals.

Comments: Fantastic punching bait, whether you rig it with or w/o a punch skirt, it will put in the boat. The plastic is also very durable.. good for up to 5-6 fish per bait. One more thing, do not open a pack of these in a confined space, that sow sauce is something else..
Comments: best punching bait on the market! rig this bad boy in black and blue swirl on a 5/0 paycheck punch hook, gas money paycheck punch skirt, R2S trash bomb (black), and a bobber stop, all on 65lb braid with a 7' 6" heavy rod and a reel with a 7.1:1 gear ratio. best punching setup you can get.
From: Cullen: Ashburn, VA
Comments: Best punch bait on the market. punches through cover as good as or better than a tube and with the way the bait is designed you get solid hooksets. Awesome bait
From: Jeremy: punxsutawney pa
Comments: Best Punch bait that I have found, I won't punch with any other plastic. I have 100% confidence in this bait!
From: Travis: Green Bay, WI
Comments: Amazing bait..... got one from a friend to test and I was realy impressed..... will buy lots more in the green pump. blue swirl..... I used it on a light texas in some lilies and cought a couple of fish before it tore, but the bites were hard and aggressive so I was completely won over......

When you're on bed rest during pregnancy, joint pain and muscle aches are likely. Bed rest also can increase the risk of blood clots, especially in the veins in your legs. Decreased bone mass might be a concern as well.
Emotionally, you might feel confined or isolated. Mood changes, guilt, anxiety and depression are common — and your partner might feel the same. Child care is often a source of stress, and your children might feel frightened or confused. If you're not able to work, finances can become a concern as well.
After delivery, the effects of muscular and cardiovascular deconditioning can linger — slowing your ability to get back to your usual activities.
If your health care provider recommends bed rest during pregnancy, ask plenty of questions to make sure you understand the rules.
To make the most of your time on bed rest, consider these tips:
If the isolation or frustration of bed rest during pregnancy is more than you can handle, consult your health care provider or a mental health provider for additional support. Remember, bed rest won't last forever. Focus on staying healthy and the day you'll be able to hold your baby in your arms.

TUPELO – Monday's 11-1, six-inning victory against Itawamba AHS was a solid start to a crucial week for Tupelo baseball.
The Golden Wave hosts Division 2-6A co-leader South Panola at 6 p.m. today. The visiting Tigers have beaten Tupelo twice this season.
"Tuesday is such a big day for us. This helped get us ready," Tupelo coach Gary Enis said, referring to the win against IAHS at Golden Wave Field. "South Panola has beaten us twice. We could make some progress with a division win."
Tupelo, 13-8 overall, is 3-3 in division play. South Panola and Columbus share the lead at 4-2 each. Grenada, a team the Golden Wave visits at 6 p.m. Friday, is 1-5. The top three teams in the division qualify for the postseason.
"We need to make sure we're ready to play," Enis said. "Last year, everybody was 4-4 going into the last day."
solid start
In the win against IAHS, Enis got a solid 1-hit, 6-strikeout pitching effort from right-hander Ben Matthews.
"He was around the plate, stayed in the zone and threw strikes," Enis said. "He gave up two walks to start the second and came back with two strikeouts."
The Indians (7-11) scored their lone run in the sixth on a sacrifice fly to center field by Bridger Thomas.
Hudson Roy singled and scored on an error in the first to give the Golden Wave a 1-0 lead.
Michael Ray, who had three hits, doubled in one of Tupelo's three third-inning runs to give his team a 4-0 lead.
Matthews led off the fifth with a double. J.G. Miley and William Ikerd added RBI singles to give Tupelo a 6-0 lead.
J.P. Stanzell had a two-run double in the sixth and Miley an RBI single in the sixth to seal the win.
"We wanted to make sure we got some quality at-bats today," Enis said. "When we started out our focus wasn't there. Then we turned it on a little."

With the recent increase on July 1 of the tax on tobacco in Utah, tobacco users are doing a number of things to alleviate the shock to the wallet when purchasing tobacco items. Some tobacco users have said they are still going to use tobacco and will go out of state to purchase tobacco. Trips to Idaho, Nevada and Colorado to stock up on cigarettes are common. Some users will pay the extra dollar tax per pack. But, some users are going to try to quit at this time. This is the healthy choice and the focus of this article.
Doctor Tamra Lewis works with people who are quitting smoking. Smokers come in a lot of different categories. There are those who have struggled to quit and succeeded. There are those who have never tried to quit, but are now seeking help to quit. The most common category of smoker is one who has tried several times unsuccessfully to quit. They may go for periods of time without smoking and then suddenly return to smoking.
Since smoking has become more expensive, this is a good time to look into new opportunities for quitting. Dr. Lewis recommends getting some help to quit smoking. See your doctor to determine what new products are out there to aid in your fight to quit smoking. Dr. Lewis said, "Tobacco is a severe addiction. People are physically dependent on cigarettes and other tobacco products. They have built their lives around smoking and their social groups, family groups and co-workers. Because it's part of their social lives, they need help. They need counseling to quit. There will be physical issues to address as well as mental issues. Quitting is different for each person. Some people try eight-10 times before they succeed. If they haven't succeeded in the past then a different approach might be needed in a combination of therapies.
"Quitting smoking is a process. Relapse is common as old behaviors resurface. Smokers need to incorporate new behaviors into their lives. It's harder for some people to quit than others due to genetic factors. Those people need behavior counseling and a lot of support. They need to learn new behaviors. It's hard for young smokers to look down the road and see they are putting their health at risk. The earlier in your life you quit the better. But, quitting at any stage of your life will have a positive effect.
"Short term effects of smoking include difficulty breathing, bad breath, diminished athletic performance, smell like smoke, dry leathery skin, unhealthy skin tone, general appearance of unhealthiness; long term effects include heart disease, the number one killer and smokers are high risk for all types of cancers.
"Fifty percent of people who smoke will die from smoking related illness. Risk goes down dramatically if you quit smoking.
"Raising taxes on tobacco does help, it encourages people to quit. New therapies and products come out continually. Check www.mytimetoquit.com for more information on products. Call the Utah Tobacco helpline at 1-888-567-truth for help in quitting. We encourage people to go to their physicians. The physician can help you outline the steps you need to take to quit. Three-five percent of those trying to quit will quit cold turkey. This doesn't work. Fifty percent of smokers are trying to quit. Some smokers will experience a five-10 pound weight gain while quitting. This is minimal, a small weight gain is expected. You will die from smoking, we will work on the weight after you've quit. The benefits from quitting smoking will begin immediately. Your sense of taste will come back, you will feel like exercising more. Getting you off tobacco is the most important thing.
"Get someone to quit with you. Don't allow smoking in your house. Get everyone involved in the quit smoking process. Think of your children, oftentimes if parents smoke then the children are more likely to smoke not to mention the effects second hand smoke can have on your children and family. Smoking will shorten your life, think to yourself you want to be around to see your grandchildren so quit now.
"Don't start smoking, if you are a smoker now, then quit. You will be more successful in quitting if you understand the therapies available. Smoking ties you down. You will often only go places where you know you can smoke. Tobacco controls you. Take back your life. Control your life, don't let tobacco control you.
"Everyone understands tobacco is bad for you, but it's hard to quit. It's an addiction. Find your help. Quit, it will be worth it for the rest of your lives. If you make it six months to a year without smoking you have a good chance of succeeding. Be ready and guard against relapses. Know what makes you want to smoke, what are your triggers and receptors. Develop good habits to take the place of your bad ones," said Dr. Lewis.
An average package of cigarettes is $6 and a carton is approximately $60. Dr. Lewis said help is available, you're not alone, but only you can take the first step to stop smoking.

Any other details on the cast hasn't been revealed yet, but one thing I do find interesting is that this will be a joint with Sunrise and 20th Century Fox. So it won't be a complete hatchet job like Dragonball. Your thoughts?

Apothecary Appeal
After reading "Solving Bathroom Storage Woes", NR shared with me that she uses Anchorware for bathroom storage too! Her approach is very classic and feminine with our small and large Apothecary Jars.
What's great about using these jars in the bathroom is that they turn cotton balls and hair ties into pretty little displays!
*Images Courtesy of NR
NR says, "I have my daughter's hair ties and my q-tips and cotton balls in Apothocary Jars. I have nails and screws in our Emma Jars with metal lids (at home). At work, I put pens in the Coincidence Tea, tea bags in a Montana Jar, and flower with rocks in a little Stackable Glass."
After hearing this I barged into her office to take a mini photoshoot of all her Anchorware.

Sen. Bob Bennett is pleased to be returning to Price for the seventh annual Rural Business Conference on March 25-26. The conference was in Price in 2005 and that was one of the most well attended and successful conferences. "You have terrific facilities in Price. We were pleasantly surprised how everything just fit. The conference has moved around the state from the southern border to the northern border and most places in between. We are going back this year to a more central location in Price," said Sen. Bennett.
Sen. Bennett is excited to hear from David S. Taylor who is the group president for Global Home Care Proctor and Gamble. His company is moving a major plant to Box Elder County. Sen. Bennett says Taylor will outline the things his company found to be attractive about Utah and why they moved their plant here.
Small business owners looking to expand and just interested parties are encouraged to attend the conference. The fee for the conference has been kept at $25 so it is affordable to everyone and basically just covers the two meals served at the conference.
Sen. Bennett said the scope of the breakout sessions is far reaching. One breakout will include information on getting a business presence on the web and pod casting. Small business finance is always important to small businesses and will be covered in a breakout session.
One breakout Sen. Bennett hopes will be of major interest to Southeastern Utah will be on the future of coal. Dr. Darren Mollot will lead the "Future of Coal" session at the conference-Dr. Mollot is the Senior Technical Advisor for the Office of Planning and Environment at the U.S. Department of Energy. His research at the U.S. Department of Energy focuses specifically on coal. At the conference he will give an overview of current and projected demand for coal in the world economy as well as the United States. The discussion will then focus on what is being done to make the zero carbon emissions coal power plant a technically and financially viable option in the US and world.
Another speaker sure to be helpful will be Donna Fisher, she will talk about networking and how sometimes it's not how much you know, but who you know. She will show conference goers how to work this to their advantage.
Another aspect of the conference will help small businesses increase their bottom line.
Sen. Bennett said they formerly held their conference in Salt Lake with big businesses, but since moving it to rural Utah he feels they have had more of an impact on small business owners and the conference tailors the presenters to a rural audience. The needs of those in rural Utah are much different than those along the Wasatch Front.
Speakers and presenters will offer real-world advice to rural business owners on acquiring new customers, increasing productivity, and applying new innovations.
Sen. Bennett will teach one of the breakout sessions. He will discuss his Healthy Americans Act legislation co-sponsored by Sen. Wyden (D-Ore.) and the effects of health care on small Utah businesses.
The business expo will run throughout the conference on March 25 and 26. More than 50 businesses will have booths to share information about services they can provide to small businesses.
Breakout sessions
*Got Money? A Guide to Small Business Finance
*Small Business, Big Sales: Increasing your Bottom Line
*Progress in Health Care Reform: A State and National Perspective
*The Future of Coal
*Locally Owned, Globally Minded: Exporting to New Markets
*Innovations in Marketing: Small Business Podcasting
*Not What You Know, But Who: Effective Networking
*The Changing Landscape for Natural Gas in the West
Register for the conference at www.ruralutah.com or call Senator Bennett's office at (801)524-5933.
The Emery County Progress along with the Sun Advocate are sponsors of the conference along with 23 other business partners.
Registration opens at the new Events Center at the fairgrounds in Price on March 25 at 5:30 p.m. A reception and the Business Expo runs from 6-7 p.m. The registration and buffet breakfast begins at 7:30 a.m. on March 26 with the keynote speaker David Taylor at 8 a.m.

|Jefferson was seventy-three years of age when he started the '''University of Virginia'''. He called it the "hobby of his old age". He not only picked the sight, raised the money, got the state legislature to back him, designed the buildings, oversaw their construction, but also picked the books for the library, the first professors, the curriculum, and he was the first rector. He did this all between the ages of seventy-three and eighty-three, quite a hobby for one's old age.

|The Maverick engraving, done by Peter Maverick from T.J.'s original drawings, shows the Rotunda as the focal point of Jefferson's "Academical Village". The Rotunda served as classroom and library in Jefferson's day, and he places the library at the center because he believed that education was the center of everything. Most colleges at that time centered around a church, but Jefferson, although religious, did not like the organized religions that seemed to be forming at that time, so he placed a library at the head of his college instead of a church.

|Jefferson called the grassy expanse the "lawn". The single story student rooms are now reserved for fourth-year leaders, voted in by peers. It is a real honor to be chosen for one of the lawn rooms, so much so that we hear no complaints about the lack of plumbing. You do see students in bathrobes running all the way down and around the lawn to get to showers or toliets. The ten two story buildings (pavilions) are faculty residences. Each of these is different architecturally because Jefferson realized tha tmost of the students would never reach Europe and he wanted them to have models of the classical architecture that they would never have a chance to see.

|The back lines T.J. called ranges. They have more student rooms and three large buildings on each range. The larger buildings were dining halls in Jefferson's day; he called them hotels. He had a French hotel, a Germany, an Italian, etc. where students had to eat the food and speak the language of whatever country they were in. Unfortunately, although a great idea, it lasted only six months because everyone wanted to eat French and none wanted to eat German.

|Between the lawn and ranges are the gardens, encased in Serpentine walls. In Jefferson's day these gardens had pigs, chickens and vegetables. He wanted decorative gardens, in fact he left plans for them, but he could never afford them. Thanks to the Garden Club of Virginia, the gardens are now decorative, done according to his plans. They are open to the public.

|Construction began in 1817 and was finished by 1826. In 1825, the University was opened for classes and there were 68 students in the entering class. This number doubled for the next semester and grew rapidly. By 1850 we were in need of extra classroom space. In 1853, an Annex was added to the North side by the same man who later did our Washington Monument (Robert Mills) The Annex was one of the first public buildings in our country to receive electricity and it was very primitive wiring. The building caught fire in 1895 with the fire starting on Sunday morning when everyone was in church or still asleep. The nearest fire department was Richmond so we didn't stand a chance. The dome of the Rotunda quickly caught fire and caved in leaving only the exterior brick standing. After the fire the University hired Stanford White, the leading New York architect to redo Jefferson's Rotunda. He drastically altered Jefferson's design. In the 1970's, for the sake of history and for the Bicentennial of the country, the building was returned to the original Jefferson design. The Rotunda is, incidentally, half-scale of the Pantheon in Rome. Although Jefferson never saw the Pantheon, he did own a copy of this Piranesi engraving, and he felt he could improve the design.
