Dave Mustaine is expanding his coffee business into the "coffee-of-the-month club" realm. For just $19.99 a month, you can drink the Megadeth frontman's favorite java as you read the paper and fume about the United Nations—just like he does! First up: "This PERUVIAN coffee was so pleasing to taste and had the right boost I needed in the morning for me to prepare for another day of shredding!" Oh, and he prefers it to be dark-roasted.

Megadeth Jackass Tells Political Jackasses To Put Down The Instruments, Jackass

Dave Mustaine will not stand for the funky fretwork of Mike Huckabee. In fact, when asked to critique Huckabee's bass playing for Good Morning America, the worm-infested Megadeth frontman called the art of the bass "one step up from playing the kazoo," which is another way of asking for a late night ass-whupping from the ghost of Charles Mingus. (Or at least a wedgie from Bootsy.) In addition to grooming 2008's musically minded prez hopefuls Berry Gordy-style, Dave sez he would also be a valuable ally on the campaign trail thanks to an innate ability to reach adolescents into skulls and blood and blowin' up stuff.

In addition to "wuss," "coffee magnate," "text-message-ignorer," and "possible third-place finisher in our Worst Album Cover Of The Year tournament," Dave Mustaine can now put "petri dish for disease" on his resume: "Mustaine says he went to see a health practitioner who did an analysis of his body. She told him he found 51 parasites in his body, many of which were varieties of worms." Good morning! [Blabbermouth]

"Stay tuned for news on Dave Mustaine's new coffee blend available ONLY to his fans coming up next week. After "sharing" his daily morning coffee with fans at the Megadeth Forums in the last few months and enganging in several conversations with coffee lovers there, he came up with a true blend he would love to share with all of you." Oh sure, Dave. Talk to the coffee people while our phone call to you goes unanswered. We see who really matters now. [Megadeth.com via Blabbermouth]

In honor of this contest to become Dave Mustaine's personal assistant, we're putting out the call to become the first Idolator personal assistant. Tasks include answering e-mails, midday whisky runs, telling us we look pretty, watching eight hours of Fuse per day, and picking up Jess and Maura's Zoloft prescriptions. [Blabbermouth]

Dave Mustaine Wants To Love Us In Ways We Didn't Intend

So last week we told you about our attempt to contact Dave Mustaine after he offered up his phone number on the official Megadeth Web site and invited fans to give him a ring. In order to harass Dave, I had to sign up Idolator with SayNow, a service that, once you give them your phone number, a kidney, and your SSN, allows you to call/text message popular singers like Taylor Hicks and the guy from Papa Roach. Well, this weekend I finally heard back from "Dave." Several times in fact. His theories on life, the universe, and everything are after the jump: More »

Dave Mustaine Why Don't You Love Us?

So it seems like politco-thrash crybaby Dave Mustaine is reaching out to his fans, with an online chat coming up on Sunday with memebers of his MegaFanClub, plus the chance to call and leave Dave a text message or voicemail. (Leading Maura to ask: "What happened to rusting in peace?") To do so, we (by which I mean me) had to sign up with SayNow, service that allows you to send voice messages and texts to the famous (and not so famous) and lets them (ostensibly) return the favor. (Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking putting my cell phone number into a Web site either, but I had been drinking alcohol-based milkshakes all night.) More »

The Megadeth frontman responds to the smackdown his anti-UN song got the other day: "I would rather feel right and be wrong with the semantics or facts in the song and have expressed my right to free speech, than to feel wrong and be right and sit back, like the rest of the cowards of the world, not saying anything."
