MEGADETH frontman Dave Mustaine has spoken out against “tyranny in the schools” and “in the medical business.”
The 60-year-old Mustaine addressed what he feels is an unreasonable use of power during last night’s (Wednesday, September 15) MEGADETH concert in Camden, New Jersey.
Addressing the crowd before the final song of the night, “Holy Wars… The Punishment Due”, Mustaine said: “I just wanna tell you how great it is. Look around you, guys. Look to your right, look to your left, and look how wonderful this is. We’re all here together. We’re not freaking out, and we’re not yelling at people, ‘Wear your fucking mask.’
“Listen, it starts with this kind of a sensation that we build right now,” he continued. “We feel together, we feel like [there’s] strength in numbers. We feel like we are invincible. People will not be able to stop us.
“Right now, what’s going on is tyranny. This is called tyranny. Look it up when you get home. And tyranny isn’t only in government. Tyranny right now is in the schools and tyranny is in the medical business.
“We have the power, especially us … heavy metal fans, we have the power to change things,” Dave added.
“If you look what happened in the Middle East right now… I said it a long time ago with this next song, ‘Holy Wars’.”
