MEGADETH Bassist: 'This Is The Best Tour I've Ever Been On'

November 4, 2004

MEGADETH bassist James MacDonough (ex-ICED EARTH) has posted the following message in the band's web site:

"First off, it's been a pleasure meeting a lot of you from the forums and the Street Teams. The tour couldn't be going better and thank you for all the support.

"We thought we might have to cancel the Denver gig, we were stuck at a truck stop all day and most of the night before we got the go-ahead. There were alot of accidents and a bad snow storm but all turned in our favor, and what a show it was, phenomenal. The EXODUS guys ROCK!!!!!!!

"Let me address one small issue about comments one night about Axl Rose [Mustaine reportedly said 'It's Halloween night, and I wanted to dress up as Axl Rose for you people, but no one had a fat-man suit with a bad attitude, so I came as me!' — Ed.] that a few people seemed to go on an endless rant about. First off, he has no respect for his fans and if you want to defend him, that's your prerogative. It was a joke in the first place and if you can't see that, then whatever, I have no idea what Dave is going to say night to night but I always look forward to it and it's always comical and done with class, spoken like he always has.

"We got to the hotel late tonite after a 15-hr bus ride, plenty of time for going over lyrics, watching news and DVDs, as well as catching up on some sleep. I can honestly say this is the best tour I've ever been on, the connection we have with each other, 'brotherhood', is unlike anything I've ever experienced before. It is also the hardest work we've ever had to endure, speaking for the Drover brothers and myself, but the end result is what is presented to you and none of us are complaining either. To be a part of this is just truly amazing on every aspect. For those of you ahead of us, the set gets worked on all the time so you never know what you'll get till you show up. Rest assured the General and crew will give our best at every show, so I hope no one is dissappointed."
