Megadeth targets United Nations on new album (Billboard, 8/23/06)

Heavy metal maven Dave Mustaine is so angry with the United Nations that he is naming his group Megadeth's next album "United Abominations."

"I was watching TV and saw the trucks that said 'UN' on them and said, 'Man, you are so uncool, ineffective, anything," the singer/guitarist said in a recent Billboard interview.

"I thought, 'Wow, I've got to run with this. I got it -- United Abominations, 'cause it's an abomination what they're doing!"


Not the first time Mr. Mustaine has made good sense

Shoot, they've been like that for years. The cover to their 1986 album "Peace Sells, But Who's Buying"
had a picture of a bombed out UN building with a skeletal realtor leaning on a for sale sign. 13 year-old Bryan had that poster on his bedroom wall.

I've never had the pleasure of hearing heavy metal music. Is there anywhere on the net where I can sample some of Megadeth's work?
