Stay up to date to find out the official tour dates and on sale information at www.gigantour.com.
Mustain goes on to talk about the new album and a few of his favorite songs. Of “Public Enemy No. 1,” Mustain says, “I was dreaming of this riff and I woke up all of the sudden. I dialed my cell phone as fast as I could and recorded it immediately.” In an interview with Revolver magazine, Mustaine talked about “Whose Life (Is It Anyways?),” saying, “It’s energetic. It’s youthful. It’s not the typical Megadeth track with a lot of riffing. It’s more of a chord progression kind of thing; just a simple song.” And of “Never Dead,” he said, “I’d written that riff while out on tour; a real breakneck rhythm pattern…this has all the elements of a video-game song, too–it starts off spooky and builds.” Mustain goes on to add, “It’s killer.”
