Incoming: Megadeth at the Beaumont, December 5

You read that right. Megadeth at the Beaumont? I’d figure they were at least Uptown material.

Still…nice, right? Dave Mustaine didn’t exactly get presented in the best light in Some Kind of Monster, but I’m actually more inclined to understand why he writes all of those songs that come off as a man tortured and oppressed. Dude’s got issues, that’s for sure, and I think I understand “Sweating Bullets” now.

Megadeth is touring in support of their new album out today, entitled Endgame, with opening acts Suicide Silence and Arcanium. We also get Warbringer, who replace Machine Head starting with the tour’s stop in Kansas City.

By the by, the show’s date of December 5 just happens to fall on our dear music editor’s birthday, so if anyone knows of a way to get Mustaine and company to play a metal “Happy Birthday” for him, that’d be awesome.
