nothing against Black Label but if it was Megadeth, Testament and eXodus would be a true full circle moment

You should have mentioned Canada regarding Hypocrisy.
Ironic that Canada supports your fn country n like your corrupt government…. you have no appreciation or respect for Canada

I think Dave wants to perform in orbit or on the moon! Maybe as a compromise maybe he can ask Elon to crash another rocket on the moon, but this time have a Megadeth album aboardš

Mercuful Fate sucks so much, or should I say King Diamond's singing style.

Brian Johnson has been lucky. Fortunately he was not injured.

I've given up on seeing new King Diamond and Mercyful Fate at this point. I recently read a Blabbermouth article from 2012 saying the album was just about done, 14 years later and it still don't exist. New Mercyful Fate album seems like it will never show up either, last one was 1999!

This popped in it was because of King Diamond, Merciful Fate for 2027 in Spain. I am in the USA without a passport since my own younger sister stole my identity in Italy. Thanks much. New here.

Brian Johnson needs to start wearing long sleeve shirts, to protect his skin from the cannon sparks.

And, good thing the cannon missed Brian bc no one in

The Last Mercyful Fate song was terrible, and on that tour they played all their classics from their first 2 albums. They should just go out and tour bc they already have 5 albums that they donāt play anything from, and as someone who has been with them since ā83, I donāt need a new Fate or KD album. Just play the classics and get on the road. And, the new KD singles have been bad too. And, stop begging for subscribers, do like Zac Rios and just have the subscribe, like, and comment icons flash on the screen instead of the same pitch about only 30% of the people who watch your videos are not subscribed, your just pushing them to not subscribe.

I've been listening to my new AI albums that I've been working on right now. I'm just remastering them and then I'm gonna mix them and get ready to put them on vinyl CD iTunes in Google music play.

I will see Megadeth finally (i hope) in Oslo because they are not coming to Sweden which is disrespectful when we made their album number one here but i don't care about that now and i just want to see them now for the first time on their now farewell tour and i wanted to help that Mercyful fate have announced to more show. One show in Alcatraz Festival in Belgium and Bloodstock Festival in the UK. But now the Anthrax song was better but still not good. I haven't liked any of the three and i think its worse than For All Kings which was also bad. This was a fun week full of new news and stuff in Rock and Metal and now i will wait to get tickets to Megadeth next year š¤š„šÆ
