Nashville, TN – In a move that has left both metalheads and political pundits scratching their heads, Dave Mustaine has officially renamed Megadeth to MAGAdeth, allegedly in an attempt to secure a spot at Donald Trump’s next private event.
“I just figured, why not? The fans already think I’m halfway there politically,” Mustaine said in a recent interview, adjusting his cowboy hat. “And let’s be real, if you slap MAGA on something, you can sell it to half the country overnight.”
The rebranding, which comes complete with a new red, white, and blue logo and an eagle gripping twin flying V guitars, is already causing waves in both the metal and conservative communities. While some die-hard thrash fans are threatening to switch to Slayer, others are excited about potential patriotic rewrites of classic songs. Early rumors suggest that “Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying?” might be retitled “Tax Cuts Sell… But Who’s Voting?”
Inside sources claim that Trump’s team is “considering” MAGAdeth for a Mar-a-Lago fundraiser, right between Kid Rock’s shotgun raffle and Ted Nugent’s hunting seminar. Mustaine, never one to miss a marketing opportunity, has already hinted at an album of right-wing remakes titled Killing Is My Business… and So Is Deregulation.
Meanwhile, former Megadeth bassist David Ellefson was reportedly not invited to the reunion, as Mustaine allegedly told him, “There’s only room for one guy who gets caught on video doing something embarrassing.”
As MAGAdeth gears up for their debut, insiders say Mustaine is pushing to get the band featured on Fox News—right after a segment on how Metallica’s Black Album was an inside job.
Stay tuned for more updates, assuming Mustaine doesn’t rename the band again by next week.
