Megadeth & Prince St. Pizza: A Slice of Metal History
In a jaw-dropping partnership that screams heavy metal innovation, New York City's Prince St. Pizza has teamed up with the titans of thrash, Megadeth, to unleash the Vic’s Pepperoni pizza in their Los Angeles location. This isn’t just a culinary collaboration; it’s a call to arms for metal fans to indulge in some seriously righteous slices while snagging a chance to witness Megadeth in an exclusive setting.
"Pizza sells… but who’s buying?" quips Prince St. Pizza, serving up both pizza and a challenge to fans. From September 23 to 27, Los Angeles locals can devour this exclusive delicacy and join the Prince St. Rewards program. The stakes are high, with tantalizing prizes including a coveted spot at Megadeth’s sold-out Grammy Museum show, a meet-up with the band, or even a signed collaboration box and apparel. This is a metal meal deal that no fan should miss.
Meanwhile, in the pages of his new book, In My Darkest Hour, frontman Dave Mustaine reveals the harrowing yet inspiring tale of his battle with cancer. In an exclusive excerpt shared with Metal Hammer, Mustaine reflects on the support he received from iconic figures such as Ozzy Osbourne, KISS’ Paul Stanley, and even his old rival, James Hetfield of Metallica. "Hearing from him just as I was about to begin treatment... meant a lot to me," he shares, emphasizing the power of genuine human connection over social media theatrics.
From the treatment room to the studio, Mustaine's journey has birthed Megadeth’s sixteenth studio album, The Sick, The Dying…and the Dead! This masterclass in perseverance and vulnerability unfolds as Mustaine confronts his mortality, revealing the profound lessons learned about family, faith, and the essence of his artistry. It's a testament to the resilience of not only the man but also the music that has defined generations.
Now, six years post-diagnosis, Mustaine and Megadeth stand at the pinnacle of their career, with their self-titled final album blazing to #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. As they prepare for their farewell tour, Megadeth is poised to leave an indelible mark on the metal landscape, proving that even in darkness, the spirit of metal shines the brightest.
