WHERE ARE THEY NOW

Amazing Jason Welcome to the Where Are They Now? section of IPOM. So what's this all about?

Maybe you really miss Jason. Maybe you tell anyone who will listen that you wish Dave Mustaine was still in the band. Well, this is the place for you to follow what is going on in their professional and personal lives. You're probably asking what's the use of this section when you could just go to Megadeth.com, or Voivod.com. The answer is simple... only we can bring the special IPOM touch to it! ;) This section is also run by Anna.

Please, as we've said many times, we work very hard to bring you information as soon as possible, so please give credit if you use these stories. If you have questions, comments, or stories, send them in.

10/23/07 MUSTAINE: "WE ARE NOT CANCELLING" ANY SHOWS [link]
Blabbermouth has reposted a post of Dave Mustaine's stating that despite the situation with his home being in the path of the Southern California wildfires, MEGADETH will not be cancelling any shows.

He concluded his post with:

"I am again going to ask for your prayers, and again going to state that we are not cancelling. I am here and what can going home do? Unless my family gets hurt and I know you would all understand, but they are safe and sound and I am not only still here, but whoever is spreading the rumor we are canceling has pissed me off; and I haven't been pissed for a long time. Someone is going to get their ass handed to them today."

10/22/07 DAVE NEEDS YOUR HELP! [link]
Rattlehead HQ and Blabbermouth are reporting that Dave Mustaine has left a very distressed message on SayNow to tell his fans that his home is among those affected by the serious Southern California wildfires. Dave asked for everyone's prayers.

For updates from Dave (whenever he can free himself up to give one) check out his SayNow page or the Megadeth Forums. You must be registered to read the forums, but registration is not necesary to listen to Dave's SayNow messages.

The IPOM Staff would like to wish Dave and his family the best in this serious time; as well as to wish everyone else affected by the fires the best as well!
