Mustaine's 'tweet' update.
Fri, 29 Jul 2011
Dave Mustaine of thrash titans, Megadeth has finally shed some light on the tweet that left fans of the LA metallers anxious he was returning to his former sporadic self, reports Rock News Desk.
On July 17th he tweeted from a tour with Godsmack & Disturbed:
"For the first time in my career, I am considering walking from a tour."
The comment subsequently retweeted many times in the following hours by concerned fans before the flame haired frontman later added:
"Thanks to all the amazing people who fixed the problems tonight. The show went off perfect."
Although Mustaine is cagey about what exactly led him to the dramatic tweet he told website The Aquarian Weekly:
"We had a couple of small, little glitches that were happening from some people in the production areas, and from some of the other projects that are involved out here.
"There was just some unfortunate untimely mishaps – but we got it all fixed. The people who are actually running the tour are amazing and they’ve worked very hard to make us feel comfortable. I’m honoured to be part of it."
The new Megadeth album, superstitiously named 'Th1rt3en' is tentatively due in November via Roadrunner Records.
