DAVE MUSTAINE SIGNS WITH DEAN GUITARS

UNVEILS "THE VEHEMENT: VMNT" AT N.A.M.M. CONVENTION

Iconic hard rock guitarist DAVE MUSTAINE of MEGADETH and DEAN GUITARS have announced a new guitar line called the "VEHEMENT: VMNT," and unveiled the new instruments today (January 19) at the N.A.M.M. (National Association of Music Merchants) convention in Anaheim , CA . MUSTAINE and DEAN GUITARS joined forces late last year and are working closely on the specifications of the guitar line.

"The whole process has been surreal," says MUSTAINE. "It's been dream-like, but is more real than any dream I've ever had. They understand what a guitarist expects out of his gear, and we share a vision, a loyalty and an understanding of guitars. Working with Dean has been one of the greatest thrills for me as a musician."

"Having Dave Mustaine join the Dean family is a dream come true for me," says DEAN GUITARS CEO Elliott Rubinson. "We pride ourselves on having the world's greatest players playing our instruments and Dave is certainly the company that we are proud to keep. We think the VMNT series of guitars will be the best playing and sounding guitars Dave Mustaine fans have ever seen."

The initial model in this exclusive line will be limited to a worldwide run of only 150 pieces. This guitar will be a signature Mustaine V with a heavily flamed top, Dave Mustaine custom Live Wires pickups, ebony fingerboard and gold hardware. Players and collectors can choose from three finishes--Transparent Amber, Transparent Red and Transparent Black. The guitar will include a stenciled hardshell case and a Deth certificate hand signed by Dave Mustaine himself. The second guitar is the Dean Dave Mustaine VMNT import complete with the custom Live Wires pickups, Grover tuners and hardshell case. The guitar is available in Classic Black or Metallic Silver and the first 500 sold will include a Megadeth CD signed by the man himself. Retail price of the Dean VMNT is $1520.

In other MEGADETH news, the group will release a DVD titled That One Night: Live In Buenos Aires March 6 via Image Entertainment. The 90-plus minute film features songs encompassing MEGADETH's career, ranging from their 1986 album Peace Sells…But Who's Buying through 2004's The System Has Failed . MEGADETH is currently putting the finishing touches on their forthcoming Roadrunner CD United Abominations (due out Spring 2007). Earlier this year, in a review of MEGADETH's performance at the New York GIGANTOUR show, Ben Ratliff of the New York Times noted: "Mr. Mustaine was one of speed-metal's originators, and his double-time riffs are propulsive; bending over his guitar, long blond tresses hanging down, he gives his solos the direct feeling of wrestling with the music as he plays it, with some chaos and aggression" (September 30, 2006).

MEGDETH RELEASING DVD OF CONCERT IN ARGENTINA

Have you ever wondered what Megadeth sound like below the equator?

The veteran metal band and Image Entertainment are going to show you on March 6 when they release the That One Night: Live In Buenos Aires DVD.

The disc showcases a concert in front of more than 25,000 fans at Obras Stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Oct. 9, 2005. The show, which Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine calls "one of the greatest nights" of his life, features songs stretching across the group's career - from 1986's Peace Sells... But Who's Buying to 2004's The System Has Failed.

"That One Night is a lesson in metal fanaticism by some of the best participating, most frenzied and intense concert-goers in the world," says Mustaine. "If seeing this doesn't convince you how lethal a Megadeth concert in Argentina with some very close personal friends can be, don't worry... you're already dead."

Mustaine and the rest of the band - guitarist Glen Drover, drummer Shawn Drover and bassist James Lomenzo - are finishing their new CD, tentatively titled United Abominations, which should be in stores this spring.

Megadeth recently completed their second Gigantour festival tour of the U.S. The two-stage tour included Lamb Of God, Opeth, Arch Enemy, Overkill, Into Eternity, Sanctity and The Smash-Up. A DVD of the first Gigantour is available via Image Entertainment.

Here are the songs on That One Night: Live in Buenos Aires:

* "Blackmail The Universe"

* "Set The World Afire"

* "Wake Up Dead"

* "In My Darkest Hour"

* "She Wolf"

* "Reckoning Day"

* "A Tout Le Monde

* "Hangar 18"

* "Return To Hangar"

* "I'll Be There"

* "Tornado Of Souls"

* "Trust"

* "Something I'm Not"

* "Kick The Chair"

NEWS FROM THE BAND

DAVE MUSTAINE TALKS ABOUT DEAN, NAMM AND UNITED ABOMINATIONS

January 21 - as posted on the Megadeth Forums

"It was great seeing some of the guitarist that were at DEAN that I respect as players (most of them from when I was developing my own style) like Rik Emmitt from Triumph, and Rudy Schenker from the Scorpions. I missed Leslie "Green" West (inside joke) and saw a lot of other people that went by in a blur; Phil from Armoured Saint, Rita (Darryl's girl), and numerous people I thought were out of the business or presumed dead.

One guy walked up to me and introduced his kids, and said something like, "Its good seeing you again, . . . how you been?" and my brain started itching because I didn't know this guy from a hole in the ground.

Ah, and you want to be famous? *shakeshead

So, yes the May 8th date is finally confirmed now that the mix is nearly done. I hate saying when release dates are, because sometimes they change, and you have to deal with naysayers who behave like the ultimate inch of colon, but I would rather this record was finished to my standards, and above (which it is . . . about time, I know) then put out a soft record.

Metal needs a really good oldschool record again. I believe I have delivered. It ain't RIP2, but it could be the record that makes me forget about everything in-between.

Love to all of you that I saw at NAMM, and that saw me on the net thanks to the interviewing pianist. LMAO!"
