On April 19, MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine posted a new video on Periscope, a live video streaming platform owned by Twitter, in which he walks the viewer into his house in Nashville, Tennessee. Check out the two-and-a-half-minute clip below.
Mustaine told Rolling Stone India that his family’s move to Nashville was prompted largely by his daughter’s decision to launch a country music career. He said: “The reason we moved out here was because I’ve made four records out here and all those times I was recording, I did live here. It really was comfortable to be here. The last time we were here, Electra was only two years old. We didn’t know that she had the gift and once she started singing — I heard her sing one time and I was really convinced.”
He continued: “I don’t profess to be a singer first and foremost — I’m a guitar player that sings more than a singer who plays guitar. But with her, she really is. That’s her strong point. For her, this is music city. It’s all about country. It’s where she’s flourishing.
“I could do my job from anywhere — MEGADETH is that successful. I can do stuff on the ‘Net from a desert island if I wanted to. But I think for her, to be here right now and work with other songwriters builds her name. She just goes in and meets people and doesn’t tell them who her dad is. [Laughs]”
Electra Mustaine revealed to Rolling Stone that she and her family completed a reality-show pilot that they’re seeking to turn into a series. It follows the Mustaines as they relocate from Los Angeles to Nashville.
“Everyone knows the story of MEGADETH and who my dad is,” Electra said. “That story has already been told. But the one that hasn’t been told is what he’s like with his family, what it’s like for him to move to Nashville. And what it’s like to have him walk into a tractor store and try to fit in. He is funny as heck.”
