Dave Mustaine Joins Cameo
In what I can only assume is a bid to teach David Ellefson the correct way to utilize online video, Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine is now on Cameo, the service that lets you pay celebrities to record personalized messages.
Mustaine is charging $200 per video.
Says Mustaine in a video announcing his addition to Cameo:
“Hey, I’m Dave Mustaine and I’d like to invite you to have me send a personalized greeting from Cameo for you to your friends. I can say ‘Happy birthday,’ ‘Happy anniversary,’ ‘Merry Christmas,’ ‘Happy Hanukkah’ — whatever. Or my personal favorite is, like, ‘F—.’ No, we won’t get into that here. But I will tell you that if you do have me do a Cameo for you, a portion of the proceeds will go to charities that I support.”
You can watch that video below, and hire Mustaine here.
Megadeth are currently finishing up their new album, tentatively titled The Sick, the Dying and the Dead. The bass parts on that album will be re-recorded following Ellefson’s recent firing.
