MEGADETH leader Dave Mustaine has issued the following:

"Rattleheads, She Wolves, and Droogies!

Halloween is upon us and I wonder what you are all going to be costumed as???

I was really flattered this morning when Electra said she was going as me for Halloween. Then she said, "Dad, should I use my mini-Jackson (a kewl guitar!) Or should I use one of your guitars?" And I thought, "that's my girl!" Until I imagined someone trying to take the guitar and her beating someone to death with a pillowcase full of sweet-tarts and pixie stix.

I have to say that "All Saints Day" or November 1st is my favorite day between the two days. And I think the real horrifying day this holiday season is going to be November 4th. I have jury duty, then I have to vote, then I have to drive to LAX, then fly to England.

We did our first photoshoot at Vic's Garage yesterday with me and the boys, and we had a great time. The shoot was for the magazine Revolver (one of my favorites) and the photographer, crew, hair artist, and make-up artist were all great.

We are basically doing a studio/new record story.

Anyway, I will check in tomorrow, and please my lovely Droogies, be careful tonight!

Love and Bruises,

MSGD!"
