Megadeth's Mustaine Explains Satanic Band Controversy
. It comes as Megadeth pulled out of a planned show in Israel over fears about the current security situation in the region. In an interview with Met Al Metal - recorded before the band cancelled the Tel Aviv gig which was due to take place yesterday - Mustaine says he refused to play on the same bill as Dissected in 2005 as he was trying to steer clear of Satanism, as well as drugs. He tells the Met Al Metal radio show: "Well, the truth of the matter is when I first had gotten my life back in order back in 2002, I had made some changes. I figured, just for now, because I don't really know a lot about what I'm doing, I wanna make sure that I don't play with any bands that have junkies with them, because I can't be around guys that are doing heroin because of the temptation, and because I'm trying to have something in my life that is a power greater than myself so that I'll get myself back in shape. "I don't wanna be hanging around guys that are gonna be dangerous for me spiritually, because I had just decided that I was gonna start following a spiritual path. Because I was into witchcraft and black magic and everything like that, so I know about that stuff. And I figured I'm just gonna try and avoid that stuff. I never said that I hated anybody. I just didn't wanna play with them." more on this story Classic Rock Magazine is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
