Comments Mustaine, “I’ve always wanted to do radio that is strictly my show, my songs, my way. GIMME RADIO lets me play what I want to play and say what I want to say… no restrictions.”
The return of The Dave Mustaine Show comes in advance of the release of Megadeth’s anticipated sixteenth studio album, The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!, scheduled to drop on September 2nd via UMe. The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead! consolidates a furious return to form that began with the Grammy winning-Dystopia, while pushing forward musically and marking Mustaine’s recent triumph over throat cancer. The record boasts the ultra-frenetic riffing, fiercely intricate solos, and adventurous spirit the quartet are known for, all laced with signature virtuosity and precision and Mustaine’s singular sardonic snarl. This album combines all the crushing musical motifs that have made Megadeth both repeat metal disruptors and revered genre flag bearers.
