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.

Sweet! Please add me?

[cripplecreek]

I don’t keep the ping list and I’m not quite sure who does.

[woofie]

Maybe Mrs Megadeath cares.

Makes sense. Ozero has never given any reason for anyone to believe he’s an American.

[lward99]

HA - Love it.

I’m going to be consistent... who really cares what a celebrity says?

If it's a celebrity babbling on about how wonderful, intelligent, sophisticated, nuanced, etc... a liberal politician is, the presstitutes really care and will broadcast it 24/7. Ditto if they criticize a Conservative.

If they praise a Conservative (i.e., Fiddy Cent complimenting G.W. Bush) or criticize a Lib, the eneMedia will spike the story.

I hope this helps!

There’s far worse band names.

At that, it’s only a name. Sort of like what we ascribe to stars or galaxies, like Andromeda or Arcturus.

More mellow for Megadeth but I like “A Tout Le Monde” because this Cristina Scabbia has a spectacular voice.

This boy is a celebrity? I thought that for that you hadda be known (for being known.)

How many Gibson guitars are named after you because you designed them?

Let's see, his songs that have enjoyed a LOT of airplay include...

Foreclosure of a dream Symphany of Destruction Peace Sells Hangar 18 Angry Again 99 Ways to Die High Speed Dirt

...and my personal favorite... A Tout le Monde, performed with Cristina Scabbia.

Have you gotten much airplay?

The band’s name comes from a phrase uttered in the early 80’s by former California Senator Alan Cranston (a man who makes Harry Reid look like a genius by comparison) warning about “nuclear megadeath” coming to America if we didn’t agree to ban all nuclear weapons and give the Soviets everything they wanted. They just changed the spelling to make it fit better on t-shirts. :)

“nuclear megadeath”

the best of album?

[tomkat]

Ok guys, thanks for the info.

Being a big Tangerine Dream fan, I've prolly not much room for critiquing band names .. lol

Thanks for the personal attack, feeling better? It’s a cruel lonely world, I know.

[cripplecreek]

“Toad the wet sprocket” is a fine name for a band. LOL

[Grizzled Bear]

Wow, you really are thin skinned. I’m truly sorry for hurting your iddy biddy feelings.

All better now?
