Megadeth stopped by SiriusXM Radio in New York City recently, and the satellite radio service has announced broadcast dates for the band’s interview and acoustic performance.
The group hooked up with SiriusXM Director of Programming & On-Air host, Jose Mangin, for the session, which was followed by a 5-song acoustic set.
The band played "Symphony Of Destruction", "She-Wolf", "Kingmaker", "Foreclosure Of A Dream" and "Countdown To Extinction" for SiriusXM's rock channels Liquid Metal, Octane and Ozzy's Boneyard.
After the band finished the acoustic set, Mangin picked up Dave Mustaine’s Dean Mako acoustic guitar to play "Holy Wars" along with the band; with a smile on his face, Dave then taught him how to play it correctly. Towards the end of the interview, Mustaine presented his Dean Mako to Jose as a parting gift.
The SiriusXM set took place the day after Megadeth headlined the second of two back-to-back nights of their Gigantour festival at the city’s Hammerstein Ballroom.
Megadeth’s sessions can be heard on SiriusXM Liquid Metal on the follow date and times:
Friday, September 5th @ 3pm ET / Noon PT
Saturday, September 6th @ Noon ET / 9am PT
Sunday, September 7th @ 6pm ET / 3pm PT
On the road in support of “Super Collider”, Megadeth are currently playing a 7-date run with Iron Maiden before joining Black Sabbath for a Latin American tour starting October 4 in Santiago, Chile.
