Megadeth just hit the road for their Metal Tour Of The Year alongside Lamb Of God, Trivium, and In Flames. On the second night of the tour on April 10 at the Tucson Arena in Tucson, AZ, Mustaine told the crowd the story of the time that he "had to" pee on the bathroom floor of the White House. Blabbermouth points out that the incident likely occurred in 1992 when Mustaine was at the White House with the Rock The Vote movement.
"I want you guys to know that I've lived through a lot of different eras in the United States and seen different things, and one thing that makes me the most proud of everything here in our country is you guys, the way that you are handling yourselves and the way that… as the metal community. There's a lot of people that go out there and they say things and they totally embarrass themselves. And I want you guys to know how proud I am to represent you."
"When I went up to the White House, I was so proud to be able to go up there and say, 'Fuck you. You think we're stupid? We are not stupid.' By the way, when I went into the White House, I went into the royal — whatever the fuck it's called — White House bathroom, and I peed on the floor. I had to. I had to."
Check out the video below. Special shout out to the dude that keeps telling "weren't you in Metallica?" prior to Mustaine talking. Real clever stuff. Catch Megadeth on tour at one of the dates below, where you might hear a new single off the band's coming The Sick, The Dead, And The Dying record.
