MEGADETH leader Dave Mustaine has issued the following update:

"Droogies!

I have been trying, albeit unsuccessfully, to record a podcast and it is not sounding too good. I think the studio has made me too picky. Anyway, I will be sending this MFC only podcast of answers to "10 questions" and some small updates regularly.

I was thinking of asking Justis to ask me the questions, but his new quest to play in the Superbowl has drawn him away from music; and he is pretty good too so it is sad.

Maybe I will ask Electra, but she is currently starting filming a television show with Wrestling Legend Bill Goldberg's lovely and talented wife Wanda Goldberg about taking care of animals and I am sure there will be more to post once the show officially launches its press campaign.

I am sure I will get it done, and in the mean time today when I was going over the questions, I noticed how excited some of you were in the questions. Well, I am excited to answer your questions and give you updates on all-things-mega.

I am sorry but the 10 Questions are only going to be for MFC members, and members should send in only one question; multiple questions or two part questions may not be delivered through to make it into my hands on the road. But there will be samples of it here to give you a peek at what they will sound like.

I just approved some really great new items for your Megadeth Merchandise collection, and we are half-way done with the talent line up for Gigantour in the states next year.

We have a contest coming up surrounding the guitar I will be using in the video. And we are considering letting the fan club members know where the location of the shoot is.

I have a huge surprise for the MFC guys, but I need to say it over at the MFC site, because it seems like I am being a prude talking so much here with all of the Fan Club stuff. So I am going to go to my rack now."
