MEGADETH Drummer 'Looking Forward' To Pacific Rim
Tour
MEGADETH drummer Shawn Drover has posted the following message in
the "Forums" section of the band's official web site:
"Didn't I just get home?? Man, it feels like I just arrived home
yesterday, and yet I am off again within 48 hours (well, I do have
to leave one day before the others, as I have a photo shoot for
Sabian cymbals) but that's cool I always look forward to the
Pacific Rim segment of our world tour. Look out CD shops, here we
come again!!
"With a little help from some informative Oz droogs (and a little
www searching myself), I was able to find out that we are in
somewhat close proximity to the beach for both Perth and Adelaide.
This is very good news for me, as I have no intention whatsoever of
hanging around the hotel and rotting (though I do love rotting as
much as the next dude). All I need now is to find a good sports
store to purchase a soccer ball, frisbee and a killer beach blanket
sounds like fun to me.
"In all seriousness, I am super-stoked to visit the above-mentioned
as well as new territories yet explored/played for me. I hope all
of you attending these shows will dig it as much as we will. Aside
from the beach plan, I do hope to find some good shopping areas
around, and find that elusive Dee Dee Ramone book I cannot seem to
locate here. AAARRRRGGGGG.
"Once again, I thank those of you calling me on my SayNow cell
phone. I have certainly enjoyed answering as many of you as time
permits, and you listening to me rag on 'which' autobiography I
can't seem to locate that day (I bought Don Rickles' new book today
I can't wait to read it on the plane ride)."
MEGADETH's September 22, 2007 concert at the Newport Music Hall in
