Dave Mustaine on FEMA Camps and Coffins, page 1

I found this article while browsing www.roadrunnerrecords.com... It is an interview from AskMen.com with the front man Dave Mustaine of heavy metal band Megadeth. If you don't know who Megadeth are, I suggest you type them in wikipedia for all the info you need. They have a new album coming out tomorrow. I found the album cover quite revealing, but more so what he had to say as far as the theme of the album.

BTW, I thought about posting this in BTS, but after browsing the Music forum over there I thought it would be better suited here on ATS. Mods feel free to move. Also, this isn't meant as some kind of shameless promotion for the album coming out tomorrow. I am an avid metal fan and simply stumbled across the article on blabbermouth.net the other day and felt it relevant to post.

Where does the title come from? There was a bill that was signed into law by our ex-president, George Bush, and basically it gave him the power to create these detention centers that could be used for mass casualties and stuff like that, and in the long run they were like concentration camps to hold people in. This is to the degree where even they take people who were legal citizens if they don’t agree with what our ex-president felt were groups that should be on a list of terrorists. For example, one of the groups that was put on this terror list was, Janet Napolitano had suggested this, was a pro-life group -- I don’t want to get in that whole hang up about abortion or no abortion or whatever -- but, you gotta be real careful nowadays about who you call a terror group. Looking back at the heritage of our country, a lot of people who were freedom fighters would have been called terrorists, but I think there’s a total difference between someone who would stand up with a sword and want to fight you face-to-face versus somebody who’s hiding behind the cowardice of a bomb. There are no heroics in fighting behind women and children; you’re supposed to fight in front of them; you’re supposed to protect them. The rules of engagement have totally changed is basically what I’m saying.

Can you interpret the cover of Endgame for us? Yeah, in the middle of the nation we have this one locale where they’ve got a bunch of inexplicable black coffins that FEMA has holed up on somebody’s property (I think it’s in Indianapolis or Iowa or something in the Midwest). Nobody’s really taking ownership for it -- you know, there’s no signs out there saying “coffin sale today” -- so, it’s kind of suspicious-looking. [The cover] is just a kind of lumping of all different kinds of ideas together. What I feel when I see it, is us as sheep being prisoners to the new world order getting led off down this corridor of death with these FEMA-assisted suicide canisters, these “come on, free housing.” It’s like that Twilight Zone episode where the book said “How to Serve Man,” and they couldn’t figure out what the rest of the book was. Then this girl comes screaming: “Don’t get in the spaceship, don’t get in the spaceship,” and everybody on Earth is getting into the spaceship, and she goes: “The book, How to Serve Man, it’s a cookbook.” (laughs)

Anyways, that's it. Even though they are not at the height of their popularity like they were in the late 80's/early 90's, they are still a relevant part of pop culture and do get mainstream exposure. They still have a core audience that buys records and I'm quite sure that this album will be in the Billboard Top 20 next week...I consider that some major exposure for an issue of this nature, provided people want to look more into the subject matter. The last album, United Abominations, debuted at number 8.

Obviously Mr. Mustaine has some of his facts backwards, like the location of the coffins, but still, the info is getting out there.

Megadeth, smegadeth? Have you ever read Mustaines lyrics? Go check
out peace sells, who"s buying? No other metal band at that time was
doing anyting political - it was all about fantasypooh knights riding, blades swinging I am the hero crap. It was punk and hardcore bands that were filling the political void, not metal. Megadeth is still real and excellent musicians to boot even though I'll admit I never cared much for Mustaine's vocal style which reminded me too much of Iron maiden.

I like ...Whadaya mean I don't pay my bills? Whydaya think I 'm BROKE!


Dave Mustain is really political most Megadeath songs are about government hypocrisy, corruption and totalitarianism

I love MegaDeath I could make a case based on their discography that they predicted the current state of things very well

I've always had it in my head that Dave is a prophet
