MEGADETH's Dave Mustaine Blames President Obama For 'Staging' Aurora, Sikh Temple Massacres!

Recently, MEGADETH's controversial frontman Dave Mustaine told conspiracy theorist Alex Jones that he thinks that Barack Obama "was born somewhere else than America." Read more about this HERE!

On August 7, MEGADETH performed at Fort Canning in Singapore, and he took the opportunity to preach to the crowd after someone threw a shoe onstage. The four-minute speech, began innocently enough, with the frontman calling out the person that threw the shoe ("that's what happens when cousins fuck") and playfully making fun of a fan who kept interrupting him during his speech. He then launched into a brief rant against Obama, saying, "Back in my country, my president [makes puking sign with his finger in his mouth], he's trying to pass a gun ban, so he's staging all of these murders, like the 'Fast And Furious' thing down at the border; [the massacre in] Aurora, Colorado, all the people that were killed there; and now the beautiful people at the Sikh temple [near Milwaukee, Wisconsin].

"I was talking to J.D., our promoter here tonight… What a great guy. I was saying, 'I don't know where I'm gonna live if America keeps going the way it's going because it looks like it's turning into Nazi America.' And he said, 'Move down here to Singapore.'"

Here is a video of Mustaine preaching during a MEGADETH concert in Singapore:

SYSTEM OF A DOWN's Musical Future Might Include 'Greatest Hits' CD With Previously Unreleased Tracks, But No NEW Music!

Recently, Musik Universe chatted with SYSTEM OF A DOWN's front man Serj Tankian about the bands future plans. The interview took place on August 11 at this year's Heavy MTL festival at Parc Jean-Drapeau in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

About writing NEW music:

The band has made it clear in recent interviews that no plans have yet been made for the group to begin work on a NEW studio album.

Future releases:

"I think we have about four or five unreleased tracks that we finished before. We need to talk about what to do with them, etc. But I would be very open to releasing, like, a greatest-hits record with a few [previously] unreleased tracks. However, we haven't really discussed it, so I don't wanna make a promise."

Solo project vs SYSTEM OF A DOWN:

"It's an interesting dynamic, I think, writing by yourself and writing with people. When you have a very focused idea, a very concrete kind of understanding of what you wanna present and have the skills and the ability to completely present it the exact way that you want to, it's much more conducive to do it yourself. If you have ideas that require other people's input to kind of make it something else than what you have, then a collaboration — whether it's with SYSTEM or anyone else for that matter — would be much smarter."

A Great Western Ambulance Service spokesman said, "Our staff assessed all occupants and provided any required treatment before and while en route to hospital."

Inspector Nick Hunt, from Avon and Somerset Police, added: "Police are investigating the circumstances of the accident. At this stage it is too early to tell what the cause was."

SLAYER's Kerry King: "When I come out, it's a huge applause. When Phil (Anselmo) comes out, it's like somebody came back from the dead"

As previously reported, Samson, Zoom and Hartke are bringing you the fourth edition of the Metal Masters Clinic. This unique all-star event, will take place on Friday, September 7th at the Gramercy Theatre in New York City. The event is sold out!


The most recent event, the Metal Masters Clinic 3, took place on April 12, 2012 at the Key Club in Los Angeles, California, a day after the Revolver Golden Gods Awards. Present at the event were: Philip Anselmo (Down, ex-Pantera), Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath), Kerry King and Dave Lombardo (Slayer), plus members of Anthrax, Megadeth and more. Here is what went down at this historic event!

Here is what Kerry King from SLAYER had to say during an interview with Artisan News about having Philip Anselmo (DOWN, ex-PANTERA) being part of Metal Masters IV!

"The reason I still do it to this day is to get Phil involved, because I think the world misses him. He's good at what he does and I'm one of the few guys he looks up to to the point where he'd come out and do it. And I'm not blowing sunshine up my ass; it's just a fact. And everybody wants to see Phil. Everybody loves Phil. When I come out, it's a huge applause. When Phil comes out, it's like somebody came back from the dead; they're not expecting it. And it's cool."

Regarding which songs fans can expect to see performed at "Metal Masters 4", King said, "We're gonna do more SLAYER stuff this time. We've been focusing on PANTERA. So we're gonna do a few… I think Holt signed on this time, so we'll probably do an EXODUS tune and just see what fucking comes of it."



LINEUP for Metal Masters Clinic IV:

- Philip Anselmo (Down, ex-Pantera)
- Kerry King (Slayer)
- Dave Lombardo (Slayer)
- Scott Ian (Anthrax)
- Charlie Benante (Anthrax)
- Frank Bello (Anthrax)
- Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big)
- Gary Holt (Exodus, Slayer)
