MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine apologizes for performing


Megadeth (2008) MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine has issued the following update regarding Friday night's (November 20th) show:

"Our apologies to the fans for the outages with the power all night. We employ professionals and they know all of our specifics before we even come into any city or venue. From me, to management, to the agent, to all of our crew, we know better.

I don't understand how this happened, but rest assured it won't happen again. We have some people to buy plane tickets for and some people to replace and sadly, so very sadly it comes down to performance. It would be so easy if it was about personalities, because I love all of these guys, but the buck stops with me, and you said you believe in us by showing up and we let you down by playing the place we did with the PA and lights that were there.

The building was great, don't get me wrong. It's just that we draw too much power for this quaint club to handle and it affected our show. You didn't think so by your cheers, and staying to the very end, but just know, all I think about, all day long, is getting up here and giving my very, very best."
