MEGADETH Records Acoustic Set At SiriusXM Studios In New York City
August 10, 2013, 11 years ago
MEGADETH recorded a five-song acoustic set on Thursday, August 8th for SiriusXM Radio in New York City. The band played 'Symphony Of Destruction', 'She-Wolf', 'Kingmaker', 'Foreclosure Of A Dream' and 'Countdown To Extinction' for SiriusXM's rock channels Liquid Metal, Octane and Ozzy's Boneyard. SiriusXM Director of Programming & On-Air host, Jose Mangin interviewed Megadeth for Liquid Metal and recorded a Liquid Metal takeover.
After the band finished the acoustic set, Mangin picked up Dave Mustaine’s Dean Mako acoustic guitar to play 'Holy Wars' along with the band; with a smile on his face, Dave then taught him how to play it correctly. Towards the end of the interview, Mustaine presented his Dean Mako to Jose as a parting gift. Check out photos from the day at Megadeth’s Facebook page.
