Megadeth's Dave Ellefson Issues Tour Update From Th1rt3en World Tour - Video Available!


Megadeth unleashed their thirteenth studio album entitled "TH1RT3EN" on November 1st, 2011, via Roadrunner Records. Today (Wednesday, November 9th), Megadeth is kicking off their Th1rt3en World Tour in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Here is a video update recorded today by Megadeth's bassist Dave Ellefson.

01. Sudden Death
02. Public Enemy No. 1
03. Whose Life (Is It Anyways?)

So far Megadeth's NEW studio album has sold 42,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 11 on The Billboard 200 chart.

"TH1RT3EN" first-week chart positions:

Australia: #13
Belgium: #83
Ireland: #43
Netherlands: #42
Norway: #32
UK: #34
USA: #11

Metal Hammer asked Megadeth's front-man Dave Mustaine: Your latest album, "TH1RT3EN", has just hit the shelves. What can fans expect from that album?

Mustaine: I think fans are going to be able to expect a very exciting record. With David Ellefson [bass] coming back, it brought back the classic sound, but also with the progress that we made with Shawn Drover [drums] and Chris Broderick [guitar]. I think that it's a very heavy, modern sound, and then adding Johnny K [producer] to that with his production skills, this is the optimum record that we could've made right now. So I think that the fans are going to be very happy with this record.

Additionally, the band recently premiered the music video for the first single out of Th1rt3en for the song "Public Enemy No. 1". The comical video was shot in California, a few days after Megadeth performed at the Big Four Concert at Yankee Stadium. Oh, and it features a very badass monkey! Watch it now!

Dave Ellefson wrote the bassline and plays bass on a track which was released today (Johnny Wore Black - All The Rage). It's pretty rad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUiZmT52NOw&feature=feedu
