MEGADETH's Dave Mustaine Speaks Out Against "Medical Tyranny" of The Government and Schools At New Jersey Show

"Right now, what's going on is tyranny. This is called tyranny."

Dave Mustaine 58th Birthday

Megadeth guitarist and vocalist Dave Mustaine spoke out against "tyranny" in the medical business and schools during a show in Camden, NJ on September 15. Mustaine made the comments right before performing the final song of the night, "Holy Wars… The Punishment Due".

"I just wanna tell you how great it is. Look around you, guys. Look to your right, look to your left, and look how wonderful this is. We're all here together. We're not freaking out, and we're not yelling at people, 'Wear your fucking mask,'" said Mustaine.

"Listen, it starts with this kind of a sensation that we build right now," he continued. "We feel together, we feel like [there's] strength in numbers. We feel like we are invincible. People will not be able to stop us.

"Right now, what's going on is tyranny. This is called tyranny. Look it up when you get home. And tyranny isn't only in government. Tyranny right now is in the schools and tyranny is in the medical business. We have the power, especially us … heavy metal fans, we have the power to change things."

"If you look what happened in the Middle East right now… I said it a long time ago with this next song, 'Holy Wars'."

Megadeth is currently out on the road with TriviumLamb of God, and Hatebreed.
