Dear She-Wolf,

A friend of mine recently gave me a home-made cd with a band doing a cover of the Metallica song "Battery" on it, he said it was Megadeth playing it. the vocals do sound similar to that of Dave Mustaine's, but i was wondering if Megadeth have ever done a cover of "Battery".
thanx a bunch,

Henri Le Comte,

Well Henri, you might want to tell your friend that he is mistaken. The cover of the Metallica song "Battery" that you're asking about is from the album "Metal Militia - A Tribute to Metallica II" that was released in 1996. "Battery" was covered by a band called Blakk Totem on that album, not by Megadeth. In fact, Megadeth has never covered a Metallica song, so do me a favor and set your friend straight on the truth concerning this issue. P.S. Megadeth will be touring for TSHF...but they haven't announced any information about the tour yet. Check back here to www.megadeth.com for all of the current information, and who knows...maybe you'll get lucky and they will visit the land down under. :o)

Megadeth Rules the World!
