Megadeth singer on Obama: Not born in the USA

Megadeth front man Dave Mustaine has an ax to grind with President Obama.

The heavy metal singer-guitarist, who once wrote the lyrics to the anti-George H.W. Bush administration song "Foreclosure of a Dream," told a Canadian talk show that he subscribes to the “birthers” conspiracy theory that Obama was not really born in the United States.

Megadeth’s Bass Player also runs a Christian youth ministry called Mega-Life at the Hope of the Dessert Lutheran Church.

There’s Spock’s Beard...

Dave Mustaine seems to be the real deal. Got himself cleaned up, Christian, and no-nonsense libertarian if not full-blown conservative views. Quite a difference from his pro-abortion “benefit” concerts of the 90s.

Not to mention his stint with Metallica and his very close friendship with Alice.

[whom he calls his “godfather” because Alice got him sober and saved]

You go, Dave!

[Salamander]

Maybe he’ll write a song for Obummah for the election;

“Sweating Ballots”.

;D

I think he puts out great stuff. I’ve been listening since the 80’s.

I prefer the original version of “A Tout Le Monde”, but that was a great album.

Dave even does Christian songs.

Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1875)

I prefer the original version of “A Tout Le Monde”,

Christina Scabbia makes that song complete. Just MHO...

[CommieCutter]

I don’t think Dave needs accessories IMO but I’m sure he’d agree with you since he decided to remake it with her. (I like the slower pace of the original.)

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Why is one characterized as having an “axe to grind” because he believes what is actually true?

[reaganaut]

If there is a ping list for that please add me.

[reaganaut]

I’m not surprised, Dave has been a conservative for a long time and a Born Again Christian for several years as well.

[Drrdot]

Add me as well please

[reaganaut]

It’s Shepard of the Desert Lutheran Church. I forgot that Dave Ellefson is also a Christian.

[38special]

Well he plays guitar, otherwise known as an axe.

[Graewoulf]

Maybe some in the OWS might value his opinion?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

I heard there is a Megadeth tribute band made up entirely of midgets called Microdeth.

Grizzled Bear is the keeper of the ping.

[reaganaut]

I saw that it was GB. He needs to borrow the graphic for our pings. :)
