MEGADETH drummer Shawn Drover has issued the following update:

"So, after such a great time in New Zealand, Oz and Japan, I was so excited about coming home for a few weeks to be with the family and just be "normal" for a while.

Halloween is right around the corner and in my house that of course, means having another "pumpkin carving contest" - Guys vs. Girls (for the record, I suck at carving anything, but we all still enjoy doing this) my kids are now adults, so we do this more for the little trick or treaters now.

As well, we have a solid day of watching horror movies (1 of my favorite things to do on earth-going to see The Stepfather today at the movie theatre) and basically just having a good Halloween. Anyways, enough of that...

The upcoming Canadian Carnage Eatern Canada tour, will have us starting out in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, so my top priority (besides the shows) is going to see the new Trailer Park Boys movie! I am such a huge fan of this TV series, I simply cannot wait to go and watch this movie. Actually, about half of our crew want to go see the movie as well with me, which will be fun. Add to this, the KILLER sea food available and the fact that I have yest to venture this far East in Canada, this all equates to a great tour leg for me.

As with the Japan leg of the tour, I will be updating quite a bit on my Live Line page, so check in with me if you want to hear the latest 877-388-3786.

In closing, it is also so great to be back in North America, so I can watch my Steelers pummel all those who dare step in their way. (Are you reading this, DD???)

Be well, Humans."

Megadeth's "Artist Personal Experience radio station," Megadeth Radio is currently streaming on the widget below.

Band founder and frontman Dave Mustaine has complete creative control in the programming of his 24-hour channel, which features interviews, news, personal commentary, and playlists of his favorite music. The multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated rockers follow hot on the heels of A.P.E. stations: Radio WEEZER, CHRISTINA AGUILERA Radio and EAGLES Radio Hosted by JOE WALSH.

According to a press release, Megadeth Radio is set to become the destination of choice for both the band's fans as well as anyone who appreciates hard-rocking radio, and will be distributed across Clear Channel Radio's iheartradio network, which includes hundreds of local radio websites; the popular iheartradio mobile app, which has been downloaded by 3.5 million people; widgets; and megadeth.com. Just like the other A.P.E. stations, fans can participate in Megadeth Radio by emailing their comments to megadeth@aperadio.com or calling 1-866-686-1010.

Says Mustaine, "Megadeth has been on the forefront of music for over 25 years. Now we're breaking ground in radio. We're giving metalheads everywhere a look inside and an opportunity to see what influences our world and music."

When the public tunes into Megadeth Radio, they'll hear selected playlists of some of the band's favorite songs, including artists such as AC/DC, ARCH ENEMY, BLACK SABBATH, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE and many more. Interviews and eclectic stories told by the band members will punctuate the programming, including Mustaine talking about his younger days (and trading pot to a record store clerk for albums), METEALLICA, his writing process and more. The station is a hard-rocking outlet unlike any other, and attractive to all fans of innovative audio entertainment.
