Megadeth Plan Peace Sells Celebration (Top 11 of 11)

. Megadeth Plan Peace Sells Celebration was a top 11 story of 2011 for February. Here is the recap: (Gibson) Fresh off last year's Rust in Peace anniversary tour (as well as the wildly successful "Big Four" tour), Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine is pondering how to celebrate the silver anniversary of one of the band's other landmark albums, Peace Sells� But Who's Buying?!

"We've already had people talk to us about doing [an anniversary tour]," Mustaine told the VH1 Radio Network. "I told our manager that I'm totally interested in doing Peace Sells� for a 25th anniversary this year, but I don't want to do it all year like we did with Rust in Peace. I want to do it towards the end of the year."

Mustaine said that he would like to approach the anniversary shows as special events and not as the band's bread-and-butter tour. "You know, when you tour you've got to really be creative nowadays, and when we tour, we like to tour-tour, and then when we do special shows, which are called one-offs. We like to do real key one-offs. And I think it would be really cool to do a hard tour where you're canvassing all the areas that you need to hit and then, if you do something symbolic like the Peace Sells� anniversary tour, just do like the Stones do, do twelve cities around the world." - more on this story
