Members of MEGADETH made a brief stop to visit the Los Angeles-class attack submarine USS Helena (SSN 725) at Naval Station Norfolk in Norfolk, Virginia on Monday (August 1st).
The band took a tour of the submarine and signed autographs for the crew. Leader Dave Mustaine and the guys want to express their sincere thanks to the crew for their great hospitality.

The Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival is currently careening through the States. The tour runs through August 14th and tickets are still on sale.
This year, the fest is taking part in an amazing promotional opportunity, brought to you by Megadeth and Dean Guitars. At each tour stop (sans San Bernardino and Montreal), Dave Mustaine has been handing off the guitar that he’s been playing each night of the festival to a member in attendance. Winners must be present to win. Check your local radio listings for more information on the contest.
“It was time to invite some fans up to jam, and let them take one of these bad boys home with them,” states Mustaine. See above for a photo of Mustaine handing his personal guitar to a lucky fan.
