"It came to me in a dream," Dave Mustaine reveals of "Public Enemy No. 1". Given how infectious and incredible the first single from "TH1RT3EN" is, that's one pretty awesome dream…It's the perfect gateway track to the album, which happens to be Megadeth's best since "Countdown To Extinction". Megadeth has teamed up with ARTISTdirect.com to bring you this behind-the-scenes clip of the making-of the video. Check it out at ARTISTdirect.com.

John Parks of Legendary Rock Interviews recently conducted an interview with Shawn Drover. "I love how friggin dependable MEGADETH is. 2011 was yet another crushing year for the band culminating with the release of their latest album TH1RT3EN and the announcement that they’d be kicking off the new year with a new and improved GIGANTOUR. ...The band has been on an absolute tear on these last 3 studio albums since drummer Shawn Drover joined the band and appears poised to continue doing more than simply living up to their massive legacy."
