Looks like there might be some drama between MEGADETH frontman Dave Mustaine and SUICIDE SILENCE, who were opening for MegaDave on his recent tour. It all started when SUICIDE SILENCE issued a statement saying they won't be playing the last show of the tour, which read:
"We're sorry to announce that we won't be playing tonight in Reno, NV. Megadeth, Warbringer, and Arcanium will still be there so head out and show your support for those awesome bands!"
Sounds pretty cut and dry. But then, Lambgoat received a news bit which they published uncredited:
"Suicide Silence not allowed to play Reno due to Dave Mustaine's ego. Kicked off last two days of tour and had laminates removed."
This bit was confirmed by a tweet Suicide Silence drummer Alex Lopez posted, which has since been deleted:
"Dave Mustaine kicked us off the Megadeth tour cuz he wanted to take our laminates for a little incident weeks ago, so we told him to fuck off."
And that was followed by a tweet by bassist Dan Kenny stating:
"I would love a fist fight with Dave Mustaine… I hear he is quite good at MMA; I would triangle him in a second!"
Woah, Danny! We're buddies and all, but I heard Mustaine can kick some serious ass. He took James Hetfield out, remember? Will the real story ever come out? We're going to try to do some investigating of our own.
