MEGADETH's Dave Mustaine Says His Neck Is Fully Recovered
February 9, 2012, 12 years ago
Erin Podolsky from the Detroit Free Press asked MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine five questions including ones regarding his health. Excerpts follow:
Detroit Free Press: You had neck surgery for spinal stenosis last fall. How are you feeling?
Mustaine: "My neck is completely recovered. The surgery was a breeze. The doctor I used ... did Peyton Manning's surgery. Fortunately, my recovery time has been a lot faster than Peyton's. He was in before me and I'm out playing before him. I wish him well in his recovery."
Detroit Free Press: Can you still headbang?
Mustaine: "I can headbang, but I've found with the limitation of, "Do I want to headbang or do I want to be in a wheelchair?," I kind of toned it down a little bit. There's more body parts you can move around. I mean, I'm not dancing or anything like that but I'm making the best use of it I can."
