FH: How important is image today? Megadeth doesn't exactly stand out in a fashion sense...

DAVE MUSTAINE: We're not exactly caught up in the fancy costumes and the tattoos. Our music has always been about the music, not what I have on my body.

FH: What about managers and others involved in the band? Did they ever try to push you in any direction regarding this?

DAVE MUSTAINE: Yeah, they did. They tried to cultivate certain things with us, and they tried to make us accomplish certain initiatives they'd set out.

FH: How is it keeping a family together with such a busy schedule?

DAVE MUSTAINE: Well, tomorrow my son's gonna be nine. Two weeks ago, my daughter turned three. The third of next moth, I will have been married 10 years. They'll be travelling with me during Megadeth's European tour this summer.

FH: Final question...Mustaine's top three favorite movies!

DAVE MUSTAINE: "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", with Clint Eastwood, I loved "The Ten Commandments" - I thought that was unbelievable. I also like any of the "Pink Panther" movies.
