well, jr.'s out of megadearth...

Maybe some day a video of Mustaine doing smack with a 17 year will appear.

That would be through his darkest hour where grace does not shine on him.

Adds new meaning to putting a deposit down on a Jackson.

Well at least Ellefson was practicing social distancing!

Seriously, the whole thing seems fishy. Ellefson is not high profile like Bill Cosby or Harvey Weinstein. Busting him and ruining his reputation and career is hardly cleaning up the "industry" from a predator. Seems the 3rd party had something to gain by exposing his infidelity and possibly giving misinformation. Mustaine quickly jumped into damage control for his aging business and did not bother to defend his lifelong friend. Hmmmm..

Any idea who would make a good replacement for the tour? Who's available right now and would make a good temp? I just saw an ad for Knotfest (Slipknot, Faith No More, Megadeth) in Iowa. I was thinking of going.

I think you're giving too much credit to the minds of these pseudo-virtuous people as far as strategy goes

3rd party was the girl's ex apparently, though I don't buy it. The leaker's profile reeks of the usual insane tumblrite, and there's a lot of groupies community on there, same as livejournal in the early 2000s. Girl probably used it to brag that she was getting some (digital) action with a rockstar.

And this isn't really him getting cancelled, the media and most people don't really give a shit. Its basically just Mustaine being, or at least putting on the image of being a devout Christian nowadays, Jr playing right into the hypocritcal dirty old man Christian pastor/minister stereotype wasn't going to fly.

Police have confirmed the naughty naughty was legal - at least in terms of age.
But there is still the issue of 'grooming'... which is basically an advocate's way of saying "no one is ever capable of giving consent"

lomenzo back in. yawn.

[toejam]

lomenzo back in. yawn.

I kinda figured either James MacDonough or James LoMenzo would be back. LoMenzo is a monster player, but it still sucks about Ellefson.

[Sanctuary]

JLo to get a Jackson endorsement?

[wilkinsi]

megadave and the rattleheads

YES! I demand they change the band name to this!
