The full message reads as follows:</p><p> "I hope that everyone that is in a band and has been watching how things have transpired are taking notes. This record has been out for weeks and weeks, and no radio play from the radio person at Roadrunner, nothing. Zero.</p><p> "But that should be expected; this is the same guy I HAD TO ASK to get me interviews. Talk about a Gomer moment!</p><p> "Now, I am going to be forced to rely on my own radio station to play Megadeth, but that's ok, I seem to be doing the label's job everyday, in every city, and I am used to it after these last two records.</p> <p>"I am waiting to talk to the owner of Roadrunner, and all I ask is that you pray that this guy has even a modicum of respect for me and how hard I have been working for him. And he get's the lionshare of the revenue, while I get news that with the best record I have recorded in decades has now dropped off of the charts.</p><p> "Kudos Roadrunner, the is the first worldwide critically acclaimed record by the press, and the fans, and you just can't seem to get this right. This is the first time that everyone likes a record of mine, and you can't get us on the radio or into the stores.</p><p> "I can't tell you how many stores I go into while on tour and I see nothing. And all I hear from RR is we are committed to the record.</p><p> "My ass."</p> </div> <h3 class="whatsnext clear">What's Next?</h3> <ul id="adjacent-articles" class="two-col"> <li class="prev"><a

A very large percentage of RR's bands are lame whores. That's why you dig deeper into the metal underground scene because that's where all the good music is, rather than people like Dave Mustaine and Corey Taylor b****ing all over the place. Dave, clean up your p***y some place else.</p> <div class="commentdate"> <a href="#comment_248608" title="Link to this comment">#</a> Nov 21, 2009 @ 5:55 PM ET | <a href="#" onclick="return revealMsgOrigin('CB9A66D3560D9A72ECA5492EB8846266','match')" title="Reveal posts originating from the same IP address">IP Logged <img src="/images/find_bl.gif" class="icon" width="11" height="11" alt="Reveal posts originating from the same IP address" /></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="comment_248611" class="comment B56BE9F1A9F73D2868A2D38FDC282008"> <div class="gravatar"> <a href="/members/profile.cfm?userid=6603" title="Diamond Oz's avatar"><img src="/images/spacer.gif" class="gravatar-img" style="background:url('https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/fe44bd987482dd02cef0a1fe6b9ba76d?s=80&r=r&d=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Emetalunderground%2Ecom%2Fimages%2Favatars%2Fdefault%5Fmember%2Egif')" alt="Diamond Oz's avatar" /></a><p class="usertitle">Senior News Correspondent</p> </div> <div class="commentwrapper"> <p class="commentheading"> <span class="commentno">23.</span> <span class="commentauthor"> <a href="/members/profile.cfm?userid=6603">Diamond Oz</a></span> writes: </p> <div class="commentbody"> <p>Been meaning to comment on this for awhile but I've only been arsed to do so.</p><p> What I can't help but think is, Is he seriously saying he didn't know Roadrunner have been piss poor at times with their bands, no matter what their status was? And at least they gave Megadeth the money for a music video which is more than they did for Sepultura when they released "Nation." Roadrunner f***ed over Sepultura, Chimaira, Deicide and numerous others in the past, why is he so surprised when it happens to him? I would also bet that while Megadeth has been signed to Roadrunner, they f***ed over several other bands and I'd put further money on the table that Mustaine was fully aware of it. Just because you're Megadeth, it doesn't mean you're entitled to special treatment. </p><p> Something else worth considering is that Roadrunner is owned by a much bigger record label and they want to make sure they have huge selling bands on their hands, hence Nickelback being on Roadrunner, without bands like them, the label probably would have lost its funding a long time ago. I also honestly wouldn't be surprised if the higher power has never even heard of Megadeth. They have some relevance to today's metal world and no-one will ever deny that they are true metal legends, but when it comes to selling a band, being metal legends alone won't nessacarily mean you're guaranteed unlimited promotion and finance, unless you're Iron Maiden or Metallica, who have sold 75 and 100 million albums respectively, compared to Megadeth's 25.</p> <div class="commentdate"> <a href="#comment_248611" title="Link to this comment">#</a> Nov 21, 2009 @ 7:38 PM ET | <a href="#" onclick="return revealMsgOrigin('B56BE9F1A9F73D2868A2D38FDC282008','match')" title="Reveal posts originating from the same IP address">IP Logged <img src="/images/find_bl.gif" class="icon" width="11" height="11" alt="Reveal posts originating from the same IP address" /></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="comment_248635" class="comment EBB71F75864091E22306A6CFD8360D09"> <div class="gravatar"> <img src="/images/avatars/default_avatar.gif" class="gravatar-img" alt="Anonymous Reader" /></a> </div> <div class="commentwrapper"> <p class="commentheading"> <span class="commentno">24.</span> <span class="commentauthor"> forestcity metal</span> writes: </p> <div class="commentbody"> <p>Friends of mine just got signed to RR, they are (in my eyes) one of the best up and coming bands, dont f**k with these guys RR.<br />and seriously dont even compare Metallica to Megadeath, its not even fair, maybe if megadave was not such a a$$hole ppl would want to promote the band instead of acting like you have some sence of entitlement, what?? just because you have been making half decent music for 25 yrs</p> <div class="commentdate"> <a href="#comment_248635" title="Link to this comment">#</a> Nov 22, 2009 @ 10:29 AM ET | <a href="#" onclick="return revealMsgOrigin('EBB71F75864091E22306A6CFD8360D09','match')" title="Reveal posts originating from the same IP address">IP Logged <img src="/images/find_bl.gif" class="icon" width="11" height="11" alt="Reveal posts originating from the same IP address" /></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="comment_248653" class="comment 9B9604B381B7677FE9FC7B1254F1FFDA"> <div class="gravatar"> <a href="/members/profile.cfm?userid=11134" title="deathfreak's avatar"><img src="/images/spacer.gif" class="gravatar-img" style="background:url('https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/4a6443e6aefd293abcf32ceec03ed409?s=80&r=r&d=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Emetalunderground%2Ecom%2Fimages%2Favatars%2Fdefault%5Fmember%2Egif')" alt="deathfreak's avatar" /></a><p class="usertitle">Member</p> </div> <div class="commentwrapper"> <p class="commentheading"> <span class="commentno">25.</span> <span class="commentauthor"> <a href="/members/profile.cfm?userid=11134">deathfreak</a></span> writes: </p> <div class="commentbody"> <p>Road runner has sucked for years.
