Megadeth Better Than Metallica?
antiMusic reports: Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine was on 92.5 WZUU FM The Big Dumb Radio Show. During the chat Mustaine talked about a magazine comparing his latest effort to Metallica's as well as the rumored "Big Four" tour. Blabbermouth is running streams of the interview but below are a couple of excerpts that they transcribed.

On how "Endgame" has been received thus far - Mustaine: "The record is a complete smash success right now for us. Even web sites that are notorious for hating Megadeth, like Blabbermouth, we got an 8.5 out of 10 there. I mean, go figure. And they even said something that was kind towards me, saying, 'Well, maybe it's time for us to take a lesson from Professor Dave.' And I'm thinking, 'Huh?!' I guess hell must be frozen. [laughs] And I just heard that there's a magazine — a very high-ranking, established institution... magazine in the U.K., one of the guys there said that Megadeth is better than Metallica. And I was like, 'Oh, my God. The next thing you know I'm gonna wake up and I'm gonna be 16 again and I'll have somebody really hot and young laying in my bed.'"

On whether it gets annoying being asked about Metallica all the time- Mustaine: "Nah, it depends on what they're talking about. If it's the 'he-said-she-said' stuff, that's not OK, because they weren't there. But if it's stuff like talking about anything that was to happen, currently or in the future, it's total speculation and it's up in the air. I really don't like talking about it, because I have a new record out and I've heard both records [referring to Metallica's 'Death Magnetic' and Megadeth's 'Endgame' — Ed.], and I think mine's better. And that's not a dig at [Metallica]; it's just how I feel. And I know that they've got a lot of records that are better than the stuff I've put out, but not all of it, and certainly not the stuff that we made together." - Find out his latest take on the Big four tour rumor and listen to streams of the entire interview

Fresh from the road alongside fellow powerhouse Nickelback, frontman Jacoby Shaddix says, "Playing shows every night is what we're built for. We make a club feel like an arena and we make an arena feel like a club." Indeed Hit Parader raves, "Papa Roach's live energy is like a pack of wild horses – unbridled and uncontainable."

Tour Sidelined By Bizarre Skating Accident
PR reports: Smile Empty Soul have been forced to cancel their next four tour dates after vocalist Sean Danielson broke his leg and tore his ACL in a skateboarding accident prior to Sunday night's show in Kansas City.

Danielson has issued the following statement: "I'm really sorry to disappoint all the fans who were anxious to see us on the tour dates we've had to cancel, but I'm in the hospital and out of commission," he commented. "I was skateboarding before a show in Kansas City, when a car pulled out in front of me and I had to jump off to avoid being hit. As soon as I hit the ground, I heard my leg crack and there was intense pain shooting through my body. This all happened less than an hour before I was slated to be on stage opening for Buckcherry.

"After being rushed to the hospital, they did some X-rays and discovered I had broken my leg in four different spots and tore my ACL during the fall, which required immediate surgery on my leg. The doctors told me that I can't tour for a little while to make sure everything heals properly or run the risk of permanently injuring my leg. It really sucks to have to cancel the rest of the dates on this tour as the shows have been packed every night and we've been having a blast. We'll be back out on the road later this year, so please stay tuned for a major tour announcement from us. In the meantime please drop us a line on MySpace or Facebook and let us know what you think of the new album. You can also check out some pics of my leg there as well....FUBAR" - more on this story

Muse Reach Career High With The Resistance
Warner Bros reports: The Resistance - the new album from British rock trio Muse - debuts at No. 1 on the Alternative, Rock, and Internet album charts, and No. 2 on the Overall Digital Album chart this week. In addition, Muse have scored their highest-ever U.S. debut on the Billboard album chart with the No. 3 bow of their fifth studio album, which sold 128,481 copies (the band's best-ever sales week) in its first seven days of release and No.1 on the top 200 Canadian albums chart. Muse's previous album, 2006's gold Black Holes and Revelations, peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard album chart.

The Resistance is also an international smash with 16 No. 1 debuts around the world, including Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, and the U.K., where the album sold close to 150,000 copies, making it the best-selling album by a UK artist this year.

The Resistance's impressive chart debut is due in part to Muse's stunning live appearance on the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards on September 13th where the British rock trio performed their No. 1 Alternative Rock radio hit "Uprising." Another track from the album, "I Belong To You," has been confirmed for inclusion on the upcoming soundtrack to the motion picture New Moon.

Singled Out: Flying Machines
antiMusic reports: It's been a wild couple of years for the classic rock inspired Flying Machines. Last year they won Converse's 'Get Out of The Garage' 2008 music contest and now a year later EMI released their self titled debut album. The first single from the album, "Talk About It," is the No 1 most-played song on Yahoo Music's "Who's Next" radio station. So we wanted to find out the powerful story behind this hit song and frontman William Ryan George delivers below:

The song focuses on two situations in where I found myself unable to appropriately communicate my emotions and just deal with the problem at hand. In the past I've often found that in moments of great emotional stress I have to fight from shutting down and ultimately avoid any such conversations by yelling "I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT." The opening stanza interrupts a failing romantic relationship I was having at the time; I had met this young lady late one night at a bar I used to frequent playing open mic nights. I had never seen her there before and I wanted her. She seemed to think she was all anyone was interested in that night and I thought she was full of herself but interesting. I kept my distance from her until the bar closed up. We jumped in a cab and drove to her place, making out in the car and spent the night together. After a few months of dating it was clear that I did not share the emotional intensity she had for me but that I had wanted her to inspire in her. I couldn't deal with it so instead of simply talking with her I just started acting weird and unfriendly. She's much smarter than I am and eventually caught on to my pathetic behavior... and let me go. I didn't say a word when she walked away from me, leaving the subway car we were both in, saying sadly while trying to sound un-affected " ugh! it's okay William, don't worry about it dude" rubbing my long hair as she left. She had made me feel pretty great and I couldn't even look up at her. I miss her very much and care for her well being deeply but I guess it makes sense that last time I tried to call her, her boyfriend answered screaming "who the hell is this". great right?

The next verse starts with the most memorable bowl of soup I will ever have. I was sitting at a kitchen table in Williamsburg Brooklyn across from my new girlfriend in late January, enjoying some Progresso New England clam chowder. Oddly enough the same flavor of soup that was a shared favorite of mine with my father, especially when he and I would travel to San Francisco when I was allowed to join him on business trips as a child. I was half way through my meal, my spoon not yet hitting the bottom of the bowl when the phone rang. My girlfriend answered and soon handed me the phone explaining that it was my mother and she sounded upset. "Ryan?" she said. "Hey mom! yeah it's me, what's up?" I answered. " ...Your father died...". Our call didn't seem to last long and as soon as we hung up I went into shock. A feeling I hadn't had since I was 11 or so, living with my father and one night while walking barefoot in his kitchen, I stepped on a shard of glass and while blood literally poured from my pudgy foot he ran to get a camera so that he could photograph me sitting in a pool of blood while in a state of pure disbelief. I wish I could've found that film before his belongings were thrown out. It would be a full year before I was told how my father had passed away. My grandmother believed he had died of a broken heart because in the three years before his death his wife, my mother, had divorced him. a family court judge had ruled that he only be allowed to see me, my brother and my sister while under supervision by a court appointed counselor ( when and if we wanted to see him) and had lost his job as a teacher. It finally came out that he had died of a morphine overdose. A drug that he and his friend would fool around with by injection in the same living room I grew up in. His friend later told me "Ryan I'm so sorry, he ( my dad) stood up and walked into the kitchen to get some water and just slumped over the counter! " I started going by William after I returned to NYC and I still find it funny and bizarre that after the phone call from my mother, that late and cold January evening about my fathers passing... I finished my bowl of soup.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album - right here!
