I&#8217;m gonna be going to Nashville later this week to get started recording the <strong>MEGADETH<\/strong> album.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Ellefson<\/strong> also talked about the status of <strong>MEGADETH<\/strong>&#8216;s previously announced North American tour with <strong>LAMB OF GOD<\/strong>, <strong>TRIVIUM<\/strong> and <strong>IN FLAMES<\/strong>. The 55-date trek is currently scheduled to be split into two legs. The first leg of the tour is supposed to kick off June 12 at Jiffy Lube Live in Bristow, Virginia, and wrap August 1 at the Concord Pavilion in Concord, California. The second run is slated to launch October 2 at iTHINK Financial Amphitheater in West Palm Beach, Florida, and run through November 13 at the Reno Events Center in Reno, Nevada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Asked if the tour is still a go, <strong>Ellefson<\/strong> responded: &#8220;We&#8217;ll find out in a couple of days. First, we waited as long as possibly could. Whatever&#8217;s gonna happen, we&#8217;re gonna make the announcements from the <strong>MEGADETH<\/strong> social media \u2014 in the next day, actually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&#8220;The truth of it is there&#8217;s more to it than just us,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;Of course, the four of us, we&#8217;re always ready to get out of the house and go thrash and rock with our fans. But the promoter, <strong>Live Nation<\/strong>, even they can&#8217;t unilaterally make the decision &#8217;cause some of the states are shut down, there are cities that are shut down, and it&#8217;s pretty rough to have a tour right now.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Source: Blabbermouth.net<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson is scheduled to travel to Nashville, Tennessee later this week to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-80931","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80931","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=80931"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80931\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":80934,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80931\/revisions\/80934"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=80931"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=80931"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=80931"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
