Miami Dolphins Autographed Memorabilia and Collectibles
The Miami Dolphins have a decorated history full of accolades that any franchise would be proud of. The Dolphins have one claim to fame that no other team has matched, though, and that's the 1972 perfect season. Miami completed the NFL's lone perfect season by winning all 14 regular season games, sweeping the first two rounds of the playoffs and then winning Super Bowl VII. The perfect season aside, the Dolphins are still one of the most successful franchises in NFL history with 22 playoff appearances, 13 division titles, five AFC Championships and two Super Bowl wins.
During the 1960s, the Dolphins were a new franchise that struggled to get better in a league with established talented teams. Miami turned its fortunes around in 1970 when the franchise hired Don Shula to be its next head coach. Shula arrived from Baltimore, where he led the Colts to a Super Bowl appearance and turned the franchise around. During his first year in Miami, Shula led the Dolphins to a 10-4 record and the first playoff appearance in franchise history. To this day, Shula remains the most famous coach in Miami Dolphins history and his name is sacred to fans.
With Shula at the helm of the team, the 1972 Dolphins etched themselves as the lone perfect team in NFL history. Their quest started by winning 14 regular season games, then they won two playoff games and finally they took down the Washington Redskins in Super Bowl VII 14-7 to claim perfection. Quarterback Bob Griese led the Dolphins in the Super Bowl, despite missing time during the season and playoffs after breaking a leg and dislocating his ankle. The Dolphins rushing attack during the season was legendary, Larry Csonka and Mercury Morris became the first teammates in NFL history to each rush for over 1,000 yards. Following the perfect season, the Dolphins posted a 12-2 record and once again rolled through the playoffs and eventually beat the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl VIII. Miami had enjoyed a three-year stretch which included three Super Bowl appearances and back-to-back titles.
After winning back-to-back Super Bowl's, the Dolphins remained relevant and frequently made the playoffs, but a loss of some key players prevented them from returning to the promise land and winning another title. In 1983 the Dolphins drafted Dan Marino out of Pittsburgh with the 27th pick in the draft, and Don Shula would soon tab him as his starting quarterback. Marino won the NFL Rookie of the Year award during his first season in Miami, and he would go on to become one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. Marino played his entire career with the Dolphins while making nine Pro Bowl appearances and led the Dolphins to the Super Bowl in 1984. A Dan Marino signed mini helmet would be a fantastic addition to any NFL memorabilia collection, and for Miami fans it can help preserve the legacy of the Hall of Fame gunslinger.
Since Marino retired in 1999, the Dolphins have struggled to find their next franchise quarterback. Miami's fortunes may have changed when it drafted Ryan Tannehill with the eighth overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. Tannehill has shown glimpses of stardom, and Miami fans have embraced him as the most talented quarterback the team has had since Marino hung up his cleats.
The Miami Dolphins are a team that's going to make a lot of noise in the NFL for years to come. As a team stacked with talent, it's easy to see why Dolphins fans are as excited about their memorabilia as they have ever been. Ryan Tannehill, Mike Wallace and Knowshon Moreno are just a few players the Dolphins have that are at the top of their games. Any Miami Dolphins memorabilia that you add to your collection at this moment will only positively impact the collection.
- Dan Marino Autographed Footballs: Dan Marino is the best quarterback in Miami Dolphins history. He remained loyal to the Dolphins and played his entire 17-year career in Miami while leading them to 10 playoff appearances. Fans and collectors should think about adding a signed Dan Marino football to their collection in order to add some historical context. Because Marino was such an established passer, adding a signed football would be the ideal addition to any sports memorabilia collection. An autographed Dan Marino football can serve as the centerpiece within any classic NFL memorabilia collection. Each football features a rare Dan Marino autographed and many also include inscriptions, like his retired number "13" and "1984 MVP," which commemorates his dominant 1984 season and drive up the value of the collectible.
- Bob Griese Signed Jerseys: Bob Griese will always have a place in Miami Dolphins history – he led the team to its only two Super Bowl victories in franchise history. As a six-time Pro Bowler, Griese was a potent quarterback who consistently improved his game when his team faced difficult situations. Fans and collectors everywhere still look to preserve Griese's legacy as the starting quarterback for the only undefeated team in history, and there's no better way to do that than by adding a signed Bob Griese jersey to your memorabilia collection. Griese avoids signing sessions, making an autographed Bob Griese jersey that much more special and difficult to find.
- Larry Csonka Autographed Helmets: As a five-time Pro Bowler, Larry Csonka established himself as a bruising fullback that intimidated opposing defenses. Csonka was named an All-Pro player twice, and played a pivotal role in the Miami Dolphins' three-consecutive trips to the Super Bowl, which resulted in two wins. Csonka dominated for the Dolphins in Super Bowl VIII and was named Super Bowl MVP, a feat that will forever keep in him as a fan-favorite in Miami. With an autographed Larry Csonka helmet, fans and collectors can preserve the career of this Hall of Fame player. From throwback Dolphins helmets to products with the current Miami design, each features an authentic Larry Csonka autograph and many also commemorate his Hall of Fame induction with the inscription "HOF '87."
- Ryan Tannehill Signed Photos: Ryan Tannehill is the future of the Miami Dolphins that much is obvious. The team drafted him in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft to be the face of the franchise. Tannehill has consistently improved over his two seasons, going from 12 touchdown passes in his rookie season to 24 during his second year. As Tannehill establishes himself as an elite quarterback, fans should invest in his memorabilia now and not wait until too much hype builds up around him. With a signed Ryan Tannehill photo fans can display their favorite Miami Dolphins moments and celebrate the quarterback of the future.
- Jason Taylor Signed Memorabilia: Jason Taylor is one of the best defensive players to ever play for the Miami Dolphins. He started his career in Miami in 1997 and played there until 2007, but his loyalty to the team showed as he returned for two more stints with the franchise until he finally retired in 2011. Taylor was a six-time Pro Bowler, all of which came as a member of the Dolphins, and was named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2006. For Miami fans it is crucial to preserve Jason Taylor in your memorabilia collection, and the time to do it is now because he will soon be inducted into the Hall of Fame and the hype surrounding his collectibles will drastically increase. With a Jason Taylor plaque fans can commemorate the career of the future Hall of Famer and take home a piece of sports history. Each plaque features a photo of Taylor and also lists some of his notable career achievements.

Skip to comments.Negative narrative about Penn State starting to change, Franco Harris says
Posted on 01/26/2013 9:52:14 PM PST by FlJoePa
click here to read article
"The Joe We Know" film was presented in Baltimore tonight to 500 invitees along with 70 Letterman - including Franco, Lydell Mitchell and Lenny Moore. Tomorrow there is another 3 hour Franco/John Ziegler/Ray Blehar event in D.C.
The narrative actually is shifting. Go to John Ziegler's site - framingpaterno.com if you want the truth. Just like with our Sarah, John cuts through the media bias, lies, and incompetence and serves up the truth.
I don't trust the PSU b.o.t., I don't trust the PA AG's office, I don't trust the sitting Governor, I don't trust louis freeh, I don't trust the ncaa, I certainly don't trust the media (espn especially). If Joe were alive I would trust him though. You stand w/ louis freeh, I'll stand w/ Joe. I know who's honorable.
And yet Sandusky was given unrestricted access to young flesh.
Yup - by the second mile and all the state and local agencies that allowed this to take place. Not Penn State and Not Joe Paterno. Go to Ziegler's site and learn the truth.
Pedophilia State U. is trying to change its image? Why? Senior PSU officials (including Paterno) were happy enough to know what Sandusky was doing and not report him to the police. They knew and they let it go on for many years to avoid a scandal and protect the prgram. The thing that really bothers me about this affair is that the SMU football program got the death penalty because boosters got caught paying players but the PSU football program did not get the death penalty for this. Apparently the NCAA feels that having boosters pay players is worse than having senior university officials complicit in molesting little boys. Talk about skewed priorities.
Any school on probation should not have televised games or participate in BCS bowls.
Image? What are you talking about? What is your attention span? Read the links or don't comment on them. You obviously know very little, yet your mouth runs so large.
I do know that Mike McQueary testified to a Grand Jury that he told Paterno in 2002 that he personally witnessed Sandusky having anal sex with a young boy in the shower at the Lasch Football Building at Penn State. I know Paterno did not immediately report it to police as any normal person would and he was aware that Sandusky was never arrested for it. I assume he acted the way he did to avoid a scandal. I also know that making a film called "The Framing of Joe Paterno" after knowing what McQueary testified to is laughable. You can believe what you want but I believe that Paterno was a pervert enabler. So were the PSU AD, the head of campus police and the University President. As for the link, I did read it. It is a bunch of PSU alumni and supporters saying PSU officials were framed. I don't buy that, in fact I think PSU got off too easy considering what happened.
Joe Paterno as a pervert enabler???? I seriously doubt it. He is the now dead scapegoat used by the pervert American community and the perverts running Penn State to trash him (as the only nationally known celebrity at Penn State) and take the focus off the despicable Penn State president Graham Spanier whose doctoral thesis was on wife swapping and who arrived at Penn State vowing to make it the most "gay friendly" campus in the US. He certainly saw to it that it had the most "gay friendly" president and likely the most "gay friendly" board of trustees as well.
Let's look at the man you claim as a source---the aptly named Michael McQueary. If McQueary "personally witnessed Sandusky having anal sex with a young boy in the shower," etc., and McQueary was a "normal person" what did McQueary do? Did he walk into the shower and separate Sandusky from the young boy? No. Did he shout out to Sandusky to leave the kid alone or to the kid to flee the shower room? No. Did McQueary then and there cold cock Sandusky who was about old enough to be his grandfather? No. Did McQueary even call the cops on Sandusky promptly so that Sandusky could be arrested that night? No. McQueary told his own father a couple of days later and then went to Joe Paterno (not the state police, not the Bellefont police, not the Center County Sheriff, not the Center County prosecutor, with his story or so he says. Assuming that he did, he lacked the stature to be automatically believed.
Joe Paterno followed the campus rules and reported to HIS superiors who then killed the investigation (to protect the guilty??? and not just Sandusky). Several of the higher ups have been indicted now belatedly and are facing trials. If found guilty, may they rot in prison as long as pervert Sandusky. Next, investigate Second Mile Foundation and its apparent role in pimping fatherless prepubescent boys to Sandusky (and to anyone else??? America wants to know).
Were boys provided to politicians? See a very interesting book called the Franklin County Coverup written by a former Nebraska State Senator who investigated even worse behavior in Omaha, involving judges, FBI agents, bankers, local police, and political figures using boys from a juvenile detention center and making them murder one another when the molesters were done with them.
About ten years ago, the elected Centre County prosecutor was investigating Sandusky. He stayed late in his office on a Friday night, was observed leaving his office with his laptop and getting in his own car. He was never seen again. The laptop, its hard drive utterly destroyed was found in a river bed not to far from Bellefont. No one seems overly interested in that cold case. Why not? When I practiced criminal defense law in Connecticut, if a prosecutor disappeared under such circumstances, the state and local police would not have rested from the moment of disappearance, the body would have been recovered and the perps brought to justice. That would be the same in almost any jurisdiction in the country.
The fact is that this entire case stinks to high heaven and the stink does not arise from Joe Paterno or from his grave. The current governor used to be state attorney general and this stuff occurred on his watch. Spanier makes the late Tiny Tim look like He-Man or GI Joe. He is still apparently a tenured sociology professor at PSU although he has also been hired by Obozo for some God-forsaken (as usual) reason. Spanier, before arriving at PSU disciplined University of Nebraska football players for the incredible crime of actually praying in a group before a football game. OTOH, Spanier apparently fully participated in telling his subordinates to cover up for Sandusky.
BTW, I am not more than an occasional fan of college football although I rooted for University of Alabama to administer punishment to the heathen Obozo worshiping University of Notre Shame. I do respect Joe Paterno's legacy of excellence in amateur sport and I resent that he is being used after his death by the perps of this disgrace to deflect attention from their misdeeds especially when he is not available to defend himself.
Like most civilized folks, I have absolutely no use for Sandusky or anyone like him. Put him in a maximum security prison and keep him in the general population and the inmates will relieve the taxpayers of the burden of Sandusky's room and board as Wisconsin prisoners did with the late Jeffrey Dahlmer. Did I mention that McQueary is some sort of subordinate football coach at PSU???
the case of Ray Gricar (sp?) is certainly a strange one....
Oh, and lest I forget: PSU has its own sworn police department. State Police, County Sheriffs, local police, all defer to the campus cops on matters occurring on campus. This is "professional courtesy" and not a legal requirement. It helps such campuses to cover up crimes on campus lest the school be embarrassed. Civilian university authorities have authority to interfere with the campus police. The campus authorities are NOT sworn officers. This business of campus police forces is necessarily a corrupt and very bad idea because of the fact that campus cops are not truly independent of CYA oriented campus authorities who often care less about law enforcement but very much about their own jobs.
Correct spelling of the missing prosecutor's name. It certainly is strange, as you say.
McQueary testified to what he saw in 2010, while Paterno was still alive. I agree with you that McQueary acted reprehensibly. He should have stopped the act and notified police immediately but once he told Paterno what happened, I think Paterno should have notified police. If Paterno did not notify law enforcement than he was enabling Sandusky unless one believes that McQueary lied under oath about notifying Paterno.
It's Ped State. It'll always be Pes State, the stain will not go away. Little boys were sacrificed to the god of football, Paterno knew and it still went on.
Are you crazy....if you believe this is what happened and Jopa was so great why didn't he go public right then, threaten to resign if some thing wasn't done and end the abuse of those kids. JOPA was more interested in his legacy than anything else.
Michael McQueary was a product of the Paterno Way.
"If Paterno did not notify law enforcement than he was enabling Sandusky unless one believes that McQueary lied under oath about notifying Paterno."
Not only did Joe Paterno not notify law enforcement...he squashed the Action Plan that Curley/Spanier came up with, after the 2nd known incident (McCleary reporting).
Paterno used his influence to squash the Action Plan, which was the first attempt to notify local authority.
I admire Franco Harris for his continued support of Joe Paterno and Penn State.
And, he is correct....the media-spun narrative is falling apart. Note that the media has really backed off the PSU story.
With the latest on the NCAA breaking its own rules and by-laws in their investigation of Miami, the whole view of their doings against Penn State are coming to a new light. Probably what Franco was alluding to....I am sure he is familiar with the Miami case
And, ESPN sat on the Bernie Fine Pedophilia case at Syracuse for nearly a decade....because many working at ESPN are Syracuse grads (many in the media are Syracuse grads). Their PSU reports are slanted....heck Penn St and Paterno owned them in football for years...
That was provided through his own charity wasn't it?
....much of it on the Penn St campus and with knowledge by Paterno, Curley, Spanier.
That mini "video" is a pathetic display of former PSU sycophants of Paterno, unable to come to terms with what he did.
There is no evidence on it and they even use the Sandusky defense attorney as a major contributor.
Joe should have run a clean program and not allowed perverts in the locker room

That would be the same in almost any jurisdiction in the country. "
You are 200% percent correct that in any normal jurisdiction this "mystery" would be solved and no stone left unturned. This stinks to high heaven.
That's according to the exaggerated GJ presentment, not the actual testimony. It just isn't true. Dr. Dranov (a mandatory reporter) asked mm 3 times that night "was there anything sexual?" and got 3 no's back from mm. MM's testimony is still sealed, but Franco asked him point blank what he told Joe and mm told him he told Joe basically nothing. I guess Franco's a liar now too?
It's a nice attempt at a deflection, but Paterno stated, as shown in the investigation that he knew the nature of the incident "...WAS SEXUAL IN NATURE..."
The screen shot is even shown in this propaganda video, lol.
That is not what he testified at the trial.
Maybe you believe what Franco claims he was told by McQueary holds more weight than his testimony under oath in court. I do not. Of course Franco could not lie, former pro football players are all awesome and upstanding folks. Everybody knows that.
Pedo State should be bulldozed to the ground and then nuked from orbit, just to be sure. Paterno's statue should be shipped to the Ft. Sill Artillery Range and used for target practice.
Better idea: melt the Paterno statue down and use the metal for musket balls.
We're gonna need 'em...
I think Paterno should have notified the police as well. But which police??? Certainly not the campus police. Penn State's CYA (for Penn State) rules required that he report only to designated superiors in the university who were NOT sworn officers. Then the university rules provided that it was his superiors who would make the decisions as to whether to notify the campus cops and that no other law enforcement personnel be notified. Can you spell institutionalized coverup????
Given the obvious passion of PSU president Graham Spanier to make PSU a haven for gay everything (draw your own conclusions as to that!) which he announced upon his appointment as PSU president in about 1995, he was obviously reluctant to blow the whistle on Sandusky for behavior that Spanier probably viewed as an understandable "alternative sexual preference" for pre-pubescent boys on the part of the long in the tooth pervert monster Sandusky. It is only the "bitter clingers," the Bible beaters and the gun nuts and those pro-lifers who would object to Sandusky's cutting edge advancements in human "sexuality." Unfortunately for that "gay" blade Sandusky, his jury apparently shared the objections of the bitter clingers, etc. Hopefully Spanier's jury will be relentless in following in their footsteps. Likewise the juries that will judge the two university bureaucrats to whom Paterno DID report. There is not a jury in Pennsylvania's Bellefont and Centre County that would convict Joe Paterno for the very good reason that HE VIOLATED NO LAW. He was not a mandatory reporter. He also witnessed absolutely NOTHING personally.
McQueary is STILL on the football program payroll. Outside of PSU, no one knows McQueary and no one cares what happens to him. He cares about that paycheck. IF he witnessed the sexual assault even by hearing it, it was his job to put a stop to it then and there, report it to law enforcement authorities (again a violation of university rules but never mind) and take responsibility for his own accusations. Joe Paterno was not his lawyer, not his daddy, not his servant, not required in any way to become an advocate for McQueary and his theory. He also was not a mandatory reporter as to child abuse and particularly not mandated to report that MacQueary thinks he heard a sexual assault in the shower room.
However, since Joe Paterno is dead and is nationally known, he is a convenient scapegoat and dead horse to beat to take attention away from the living perps. Left wing sportswriters who imagine their job to be sitting in "moral judgment" according to the prejudices of the left are not very fond of Joe Paterno's life and legacy. He was a conservative ethnic man who took real responsibility for his players, was never politically trendy, and whose devotion to on the field excellence showed in his results on the field. All in all, Joe Paterno was a perfect target for the Keith Olbermans not because he was guilty of anything but because he was one of the very best coaches in the business. He is being hanged for his virtues and not for any sins.
The local elected prosecutor Ray Gricar disappeared in 2005 with his laptop and in his car while apparently investigating Sandusky under circumstances that suggest the prosecutor was murdered but the case goes cold and neither the politicians nor the university officials nor even the subsequent prosecutors nor many relevant law enforcement operations seem to give a sh*t. I am going to go out on a limb here and speculate that Ray Gricar was not murdered by Sandusky who was probably too busy raping little boys. The circumstances suggest rather that more important folks have seen to it that no one cares to find Gricar and find out who killed him. Nationally Gricar was a nobody. Locally, he was an important somebody. Something is verrrry wrong in Happy Valley and ought not to be ignored.
Paterno was aware of the 1998 investigation of Sandusky for molesting boys. When McQueary told him of the new incident in 2002 it s not like there was a blank slate. McQueary may not have known about the previous incident but Paterno knew. I really have a problem with that because Paterno seemed like a real good guy in everything else but his behavior in this matter was, to me, simply abhorrent. I have read a little about Gricar. It is pretty suspicious what happened to him.
"If only Uncle Joe knew this was going on"
The truth is, he had to have known to some degree, he likely knew to a great degree, the evidence is there for anyone to find, but you seem incapable of looking.
He was a great coach, spectacular on the field and with his players; we will never know to what degree he failed as a man, but unfortunately the best you can say about him in this matter is he was too busy to deal with the plight of a bunch of young boys being exploited by a pedophile who was his former very famous assistant, the former face of Penn State defense, the coach who made them linebackerU.
That's not a good thing to remember is your best as a man......
You can argue that he should have violated the university rules and personally brought the matter to the attention of some law enforcement authority and certainly that is an emotionally satisfying position. It does not get the job done.
First, the only law enforcement that MIGHT have taken a report was the Pennsylvania State University Police Department. They are sworn officers who are under the jurisdiction of the two CIVILIAN university authorities to whom he reported: Curley and Schultz (???)(in any event the two who are indicted and pending trial for covering up the matter. They in turn were subordinates of lavender queen enabling Graham Spanier who was everybody's boss at Penn State. He needs to be indicted, convicted and sent into general population at a maximum security facility in Pennsylvania and NOT retain his tenure as a sociology professor, not be working for Obozo in DC, and not allowed on campus or in any proximity to the young of any age, etc.
Next, I am drinking no kool aid. Are you drinking the CYA kool aid of Graham Spanier and the PSU fairies??? NO ONE claims that Paterno witnessed anything personally. He did report to Curley and Schultz(?) even though he had no direct evidence whatsoever of child rape by Sandusky. All he had was the report of the quite noncredible McQueary that McQueary HEARD noises from the shower room (slapping noises???) that he thought indicated the rape of a young boy by pervert Sandusky. McQueary did not even look into the shower room to confirm his suspicions nor did he interfere to stop the rape if that is what occurred on that occasion nor did McQUEARY (the only adult witness if that is what he was) report this to law enforcement. So you would hang Paterno for not running to the Bellefont Police, the Centre County Sheriff, the Pennsylvania State Police (all of whom would have referred him back to the Penn State Police out of rigid professional courtesy and turf considerations). The Penn State Police exist to do precisely what they are told by university higher ups. When supervised by civilian school administration hacks, they will be part of the problem and not the solution since they exist to keep other cops away and to cover university authorities. That is how it works at Yale and UConn and, no doubt, at Penn State.
You want to hold Paterno to account for not reporting McQueary's half vast suspicions and surmises and guesses to law enforcement just in case on a matter that seemed unlikely to be successfully investigated because McQueary could not muster the manhood to interfere with pervert Sandusky who was old enough to be McQueary's grandfather and put a stop to the rape of the child (IF that was what had occurred on that occasion).
I did not say anything that you claim I said. More sloppy speculation or sloppy accusation.
All you or anyone else has on Paterno is that maybe McQueary was a witness, that McQueary did NOTHING to stop the incident if there was one, did not interfere in any way, did not eyeball the victim, did not so much as say: Gerry you are a dirty old man or child rapist, did not report to ANYONE for days, and that his speculations under such circumstances, filleed with giant holes, were to be regarded by Paterno and by university officials and by potential law enforcement responders as though they were revelations of the Oracle at Delphi. And you accuse ME of drinking kool aid????
Read your last sentence of your post aloud three or more times while watching yourself in the mirror.
Paterno is being targeted by the usual toxic gang of media leftists because it is unthinkable to them that such an enlightened leftist and social revolutionary as Spanier could be guilty of anything any more than Obozo or Hillary ever are. Furthermore, Paterno is conveniently dead and cannot litigate them within an inch of their lives for defamation.
Finally, anyone with a strong stomach who is interested in the M.O. of the sort of despicable creatures who conspire to get their jollies over the rape of children should read "The Franklin County Coverup" a book by a former Nebraska state senator (John de Camp) who had investigated similar and even worse behavior leading to the murder of the victim children in Omaha and involving a coven of public officials and prominentoes of BOTH parties and none including judges, police officials, a banker who seconded Reagan's nomination in 1984 and many more. No one has a roster of the Omaha perps but, before going to Penn State, Spanier was an official at University of Nebraska. I suspect he was NOT involved in the Franklin County coverup but I don't have any knowledge much less evidence of that..
As to dead prosecutor Ray Gricar, he is in Wikipedia and there are references to numerous local newspaper stories on Google.
I don't believe that anything major went on that concerned the PSU football program in 1999 without Paterno's consent. I could be wrong, but it seems to me that he was the dominant figure in that program.
Good grief man, get a grip.
Are you also suggesting he knew nothing of earlier reports, when it is probable he did?
Are you also suggesting that the obvious explanation, that he might want to cover up these incidents because of his trajectory to be the winningest coach of all time, with one of the best football programs of all time as a legacy isn't the likely truth?
It's a far more likely explanation than what you've given, and in spite of protestations it's clear you HAVE drunk the kool aid.
Joe Paterno to Gerry Sandusky: Were you anally raping a ten-year old boy in the shower room at the foptball complex on Friday noght, March __, 20__?
Sandusky: No, of course not! Why do you ask?
Joe Paterno: Because Michael "Nobody" McQueary claimed he was in the building when you did.
Sandusky: Claimed??? What were the specifics?
Joe Paterno: Umm, days after the fact, he came around claiming that he was somewhere in the vicinity of the shower room when he "thinks" this happened because he heard "slapping sounds" but he did not actually see anything and apparently had no interest in DOING anything at the time, or identifying the victim who he never saw, or interfering with what he believes was an anal rape of the child.
Sandusky: Well, what is his claim? Without actually SEEING anything (the shower room has no locking doors), or interfering, what is this business about "slapping sounds?" Is he imagining sexual assault or slapping a kid around? Joe, when you and your wife have done what married folks do, did anything about sex between you two produce "slapping sounds?" McQueary must be nuts. Get him out of here!
Later: Joe Paterno to Michael McQueary: So tell me what happened that night.
McQueary: Sandusky was raping a kid in the shower room.
Joe Paterno: How awful! What did you see?
McQueary: Nothing. It was the sounds of slapping coming from the shower room that tipped me off.
Paterno: But....you SAW nothing???? Why not?
McQueary: Well, I didn't want to just barge in on them. That would be like rude to the max.
Joe Paterno: So what did you say to Sandusky when you saw him after he was finished raping the kid?
McQueary: Well, I never actually saw him at all.
Joe Paterno: Well who was the kid?
McQueary: How would I know?
Joe Paterno: How old was he? What did he look like?
McQueary: How would I know?
Joe Paterno: Didn't you see the kid?
McQueary: Gosh no! That would have been just rude!
Joe Paterno: How do you KNOW that there was a kid? That the kid was even in the shower room? That Gerry Sandusky was in the shower room? That Sandusky was anally raping the kid in the shower room?
McQueary: I just know. That's all!
The story ends with two possibilities as to Paterno's response to McQueary's claims.
First: Paterno inspired by the credibility and thorough investigation by McQueary and impressed by his manly response to his own suspicion (without evidence) that there was a child rape going on in that there shower room, calls the FBI, the Pennsylvania State Police, the Center County Sheriff, the Bellfonte Police Department and the PSU campus cops and is ignored (ain't our jurisdiction, man, call the compromised campus cop Barney Fifes) by all but the campus cops whose response is: Coach, you know that this story, by university rules, must be reported NOT to us but to our morally flexible and utterly civilian overlords Curley and Schultz who are footstools of Spanier who does not want anyone talking negatively about homosexual kiddie rape. C'mon, man, this is the 21st century! We could be in trouble for taking your call. We aren't making a record of this complaint to protect you and us! Take it to Curley and Schultz to disappear. We have important parking tickets to write for parking violations in the student parking lots. Priorities ARE priorities. First things first!
Second: Joe Paterno calls Curley and/or Schultz and hesitantly makes a report: This is certainly going to sound crazy but one of my nobody assistant coaches, Michael McQueary, just came in here with a dizzy fantasy (as detailed above) claiming that Sandusky had been anally raping a ten-year-old boy in the shower room at the football complex on a Friday night during Spring Break. McQueary saw nothing, did not see Sandusky or the alleged kid, claims that "slapping sounds" meant that such a kid was being raped, did not enter the shower room to interrupt the alleged rape or to cold cock Sandusky (assuming Sandusky was in the shower room at all). Guys, I am ashamed to say that McQueary had been an undertalented quarterback here before graduating to being an undertalented and, I guess, hallucinogenic assistant to the assistant to the assistant coaching job. Can we get some psychiatric help for McQueary and get him out of here before he decides that either of you or I may have been raping some kid in the shower room, or had been the real kidnapper of Judge Crater or have Amelia Earhart hidden in a secret laboratory on campus or, in my case due to age, that I may be the actual Jack the Ripper hiding out in Happy Valley waiting to go back to Jack's old habits? Who knows? In the absence of any actual evidence, McQueary just knows!!!
If Joe Paterno immediately responded by holding a public press conference detailing McQueary's unsupported claims, those who believed McQueary's claims would be likely to burn McQuaery at the stake for being a self-confessed coward who stood idly by while he THOUGHT a kid was being raped. Those who did not believe McQueary's claims would have treated McQueary (and maybe Paterno for taking him seriously) as space aliens who must have come from outer space or Paterno would have been presumed senile for taking McQueary's crazy story seriously.
REMEMBER: I personally don't give a sh*t about college football or college any other sport. I sometimes pay mild attention to professional football (a game or two every four years or so). My only serious sports interest is in the New York Yankees since the year that Mickey Mantle was a rookie. Nowadays, if a team does not feature Derek Jeter, I am not interested. When Jeter retires, I will find other Yankees to keep my rooting for the pinstripe laundry of New York. Without wasting time watching college football, I can admire excellence as a casual observer. As a coach, Paterno was a standard by which excellence is judged. One exception: As a Catholic, I despise Notre Shame University (for the Obozo incident at graduation and MANY other religious reasons) and tuned them in on the radio when they were smacked by Alabama as my wife and I screamed Roll, Tide, Roll! My only connection to Penn State football is that I once drove by their stadium in the offseason on my way to spending a week with Yale-connected friends in a nearby town. I don't believe that I have ever seen a single PSU football game even on television.
Joe Paterno had a magnificent career as PSU football coach. May some New York Yankees manager have that kind of track record in the time that remains to me in life. Paterno was the Babe Ruth of football coaches without Ruth's overly lively social life. My other sport is politics---the real blood sport of our times.
Your first paragraph: Such deviant misbehavior and crime is no yawner. If McQueary actually believed his own lies or unsupported truths if truths they were, why did he not walk right into the shower room, actually SEE the kid victim, see Sandusky's crime, haul off and belt Sandusky in the mouth, knock Sandusky to the floor of the shower room, and do the Bristol Stomp on his genitals until they were no longer useful for such purposes, i.e. the reaction of any normal male to such a crime against a child. Your first paragraph applies very much to McQueary and not at all to Paterno.
Get a grip yourself. And lay off Graham Spanier's kool aid while you are at it. Or as Gram Spanier might say paraphrasing the late Senator Russell Long: Don't blame you. Don't blame me! Blame the dead football coach under the tree! He is the only one at Penn State that anyone in the socially reactionary US has ever heard of. Let's keep it that way! JoePa had celebrity appeal and once the tabloid media and the low information gullibles have a chance to blame JoePa, they will ignore the real perps (other than Sandusky). Even on Free Republic, some people will believe our diversion!
Finally, Shoeless Joe Jackson had the second best lifetime batting average in the history, Pete Rose the most hits, Roger Clemens had the most Cy Young Awards, Barry Bonds the most home runs lifetime and the most MVP awards, Mark McGwire the most home runs in a single season. None are in the Baseball Hall of Fame. The politically correct baseball writers aren't fooling anyone by not electing them. Their records are what they are. Even if Rose bet on baseball games that he managed, even if the rest used performance enhancing drugs. That's the same Hall of Fame that had no problem including other baseball greats like Ty Cobb, Rogers Hornsby, and Tris Speaker, all of whom were active members of the Ku Klux Klan. Cobb also threw games for money (not comparable to Joe Jackson's performance for the Black Sox in the 1919 World Series) and was charged with attempted murder as a young man for stabbing a black restaurant waiter whom Cobb believed was being overly "uppity." Whatever Gerry Sandusky quite obviously did to many little boys (see jury verdict) would not change the excellence of Joe Paterno's coaching career.
Performance enhancing drugs affect the outcome of games and cumulative or even seasonal performance statistics which mean much to baseball fans. Gerry Sandusky's despicable perversions did not make Penn State a better winning football team or Joe Paterno a better coach.
Paterno was a football coach and not Inspector Closeau.
Post of the day and I thank you for it.
I will try to find and read that book, if I can get through it.
Or was it that kiddie raping wasn't something major?
Does it occur to you that PSU's pervert friendly president Graham Spanier was the dominant figure at PSU even if you had never heard of him until this scandal??? That Spanier was even more powerful at Penn State generally than was Joe Paterno?
Again, read the Franklin County Coverup for the M. O. of those sexually exploiting lttle kids. Available at a reasonable price at Amazon.
How are those goats?
The book can be obtained through Amazon for about $17.
May God continue to bless you and yours!
I never wrote that Paterno approved of or encouraged Sanduskys actions. I did write that I think it is obvious that Paterno knew about the 1998 allegations and investigation against Sandusky. He also knew nothing happened to Sandusky after the later 2002 incident. It does not really matter who was dominant in the decision to keep it quiet. If Paterno knew Sandusky was getting away with repeating behavior that he was already aware of and he did nothing about it, that is shameful. Are you saying that he should have deferred to whatever Spanier said even though he knew that Sandusky was probably getting away with molesting little boys? Are you saying Joe Paterno was rightly more worried about his job than he was about doing the right thing and stopping Sandusky? I do not believe Paterno had to be forced into anything. I think Paterno was agreeable to keeping the Sandusky thing quiet to protect the football program and it doesnt matter much if he or Spanier was the one who suggested that course of action. The point is he knew about the allegations and lack of legal action against Sandusky and took no action. Silence is complicity in a case like this, in my view.
BTW, Wikipedia says the Franklin Child Prostitution Ring allegations were "a cleverly crafted hoax". DeCamp is mentioned in their article on it. To quote the article, After investigation, the Douglas County, Nebraska Grand Jury determined the abuse allegations were baseless.
A short list of things that seem not to concern you at all include: the role of perv coddler and PSU president Graham Spanier, the role of Curley, the role of Schultz, whether the disappearance and presumed murder of Ray Gricar had anything to do with the pervert rape culture of Gerry Sandusky, whether any university trustees or political big shots were involved and, if so, whom and how? I get that you are outraged at the kiddie rapes. I don't get why the late Joe Paterno is the single target of your undeviating wrath when it should seem that many others were more responsible (assuming that Paterno failed, in any way, in his ACTUAL responsibilities, which are not to substitute his guesswork as a football coach for actual law enforcement, and not to pass McQueary's non-credible gossip along as Gospel fact. Paterno witnessed absolutely NOTHING. But, hey, what does that matter? Some folks are out there with pitchforks and torches and a blood lust that just MUST be satisfied against the dead celebrity. If Paterno's now dead scalp can be taken, by GOD, those tabloid readers will join the mob. What good is it to fix blame on the likes of Spanier and Curley and Schultz and any other co-conspirators that NOBODY has ever herd of? The only justification to go after them is IF they wre guilty in any way leading to Sandusky's criminal perversions. That doesn't satisfy the Ooompah Band, though, does it?
Ever wonder how the Salem Witchcraft trials may have gotten hand? Oh, magistrate, Goody Bradford looked cross-eyed at me two weeks ago and three days later I became ill with the flu. She's a witch, I tell you! Burn her at the stake!!! No inquiry first! None of that irritating due process tripe that those lawyers hide behind! We weren't hindered by constitution or a bill of rights. We had our suspicions. Who needs evidence??? Right?
As to Senator De Camp's book, the Franklin County Coverup, I have not read it recently but I have a copy and my recollection is that "Child Prostitution Ring" does not begin to adequately describe the goings on in that scandal.
As to Grand Juries, state and federal, we who have practiced law are inclined to observe that a grand jury can be dominated by a prosecutor into "indicting a ham sandwich." If the Nebraska prosecutor is protecting the potential defendants, he can persuade the grand jury NOT to indict by act or omission of the prosecutor. The Jon Benet Ramsay case, anyone? I once served as the paid attorney for a grand jury in a domestic murder case. My fellow grand jurors included a nun who said she could not vote for an indictment because our state might impose a death penalty (2/3 was necessary to indict) and a bunch of other folks who wanted neither discussion nor deliberation because of parking rates in an adjacent lot and their desire to leave it behind because it was Friday afternoon. Contemplating that Obozo was re-elected, that long ago experience comes to mind to explain voter negligence or perfidy. Read De Camp's book and you are quite likely to have a different take on the case in Nebraska.
Or, perhaps you are a hopeless case. The clock neareth three. Good night!
No, it is the same DeCamp and it is called the Franklin case. I don't think there were multiple high profile child abuse ring cases named Franklin in Nebraska. I never wrote that I am not concerned about the other people, they will have their day in court. I think it is shocking that a group of men decided protecting a football program was more important than stopping what they knew was an active child molester. I also think things would have turned out much better for everybody had they done the right thing and pressed charges against Sandusky in 2002.
Paterno was a great man, with a great program, winningest coach ever.
Why bother him with some trifling story of young boys who were being savaged physically, psychologically and spirtually by his ex assistant coach? The program was what was important..........he saved it.........*phew*
BTW, Paterno WAS a great man. He ran a great football program and he was the winningest football coach of all time. He was not the campus police. He reported what he had HEARD from McQueary to the school authorities precisely as required by the rules of the university. THEY covered up not Paterno.
Second hand criticisms of De Camp's book, legislative investigation and understanding of the rape and murder of juvenile boys in the Omaha area (no mere "prostitution ring") involving major law enforcement and governmental officials and civic leaders is no equivalent to the book, the investigation and that understanding of De Camp much less a trump card except for those who have read only the criticisms and not the work being criticized. If you ever get around to reading De Camp's book, you will be better able to see why its conclusions would meet with massive denial and resistance. BTW. it is not the "Franklin case" but the Franklin County Coverup. I refrain from describing the specifics to let De Camp speak for himself.
You "think it is shocking....etc." Again with the planted axioms. Spanier was protecting something a LOT closer to him than a football program. If you really are so SHOCKED!!! maybe you should consider being a sportswriter. They all confuse themselves by playing pop moral authority. See Cosell, Howard and Costas, Bob, among hundreds of others. Each and every one a self-appointed moral authority over all. When I need pontifications, I will get them from my Pontiff, Pope Benedict XVI as of this time.
At the time of the incident in 2002, Paterno followed state law in reporting the incicent to his superior.
If Paterno had gone out of the chain of command on his own, he could have been charged with a crime.
Then why did the Freeh report say that senior officials at Penn State University, including Paterno, failed for more than a decade to take any steps to protect the children victimized by Sandusky? Maybe Freeh, who used to be a federal judge and the head of the FBI just doesn't know the law? The report did say that Paterno met his obligation under state law by informing his superior but he should have done more. To me, it looks like Paterno decided to keep quiet and hope the Sandusky thing went away to avoid embarrassing the football program. Other people may see it differently.
Maybe (in fact definitely) Louis Freeh who used to be a federal district court judge until he was appointed by Slick Willie to head the FBI and NEVER found anything wrong with Slick Willie or his remarkable administration (see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil and dance with the girl what brung ya) retired to private legal practice with his spiffy new credentials as a former federal judge and former FBI Director and was hired by...... That's Right! Lavender promoting Graham Spanier and the Penn State marshmallow (if not worse) trustees needing a CYA report, paying well for one and getting one.
Of course, you just will not broaden the spectrum of your concerns to the actual Penn State culprits other than Sandusky because you just suspect that Paterno (the celebrity scalp) just has to be the scapegoat. And you are going with those suspicions come hell or high water.
Of course, since Paterno's death from lung cancer, it is God alone who is in charge of his punishment, if any punishment is deserved. Let's concentrate on the living perps.
This is not like overlooking some misdemeanor behavior on a player, or someone who is late to practice, or someone who didn't show up for a bed check. This is serious, life changing stuff that was going on, life changing stuff that was disgusting, and as vile as it gets. I really don't enjoy saying this, but anyone who looks at it that way, knowing that Paterno had the control he did, knowing that Paterno had information on his ex defensive coach that was damning, then hearing about the incident, then never following up, and you still think he was entirely innocent in this matter has drunk the kool aid big time. Really big time.....
I'm not defending Spanier or the rest, but give us a break, you sound like an old fool who has a crush on a Hollywood idol.

I love the song Tears In A Vial and was wondering what specifically Dave was talking about in the lyrics. I'm interested in knowing what he loved and gave up for something he loved even more.
Hi Chris, Dave is talking about giving up playing music to be with his family.
"This was one of the first ones I wrote after I broke up Megadeth. For a man to walk away from a multi-million dollar franchise just because he is not happy- he's got to be very unhappy. One of the lines is 'Forced to look deep in the mirror and face who I really am/now it's just me because I can't afford you.' that tells you some truths."

I found a link on youtube (Sorry), but it says Megadeth, Bodies left behind. The majority of posters say it was a bonus track on UA,is this true? I will include the link incase you want to hear it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h16ge2qQ8QE :-) ..............Thank you,
Sorry Chris, but the song in the link you provided is not Bodies Left Behind. It is actually a tribute to Megadeth made by one of our forum members. Bodies Left Behind, which was to be a bonus track on United Abominations, remains unreleased.

I have a 2 part question for all the band members
what is your fav megadeth song to play,and why?
and 2,what songs would you love to play live but never get to, due to album release fan demand and such
barry yeager
Barry, I took your question to bassist James LoMenzo. James replied to both parts...
1. I like "Darkest hour", It's big sounding and I like the emotional content of the song. There's always an amazing cheer from the crowd when we hit those first chords.
2. Hi barry, great question. I'd love to play "Play for Blood" and "United Abominations" from the last album. You know we're always dealing with set time constraints, makes it hard to squeeze everything we'd like to in ...you know you gotta play the hits!

dearest scorpion,
I have a 2 part question for all the band members

barry yeager
Hi Barry, Scorpion took your questions to Megadeth's new lead guitarist, Chris Broderick. Chris had this to say...
What is your fav megadeth song to play,and why? Right now it's Hangar 18 because first and formost it's a great tune, but also because of the dueling solo's that Dave and I have.
and 2,what songs would you love to play live but never get to ,due to album release fan demand and such. For me I would have to say, Five Magics and Train of Consequences (both are awesome tunes).
Take care, Chris.

dearest scorpion,
I have a 2 part question for all the band members
what is your fav megadeth song to play,and why?
and 2,what songs would you love to play live but never get to, due to album release fan demand and such
barry yeager
p.s thanks so much for all the updates on your ongoing construction of the new studio,
the fans appriciate it and I know I do as well , and I know it will give you more comfort and creative control in making the very best albums possible.
Congrats Dave on everything Megadeth, NWCB, INC, and all your other ventures..your generosity and kindness knows no bounds...
Hi Barry, Scorpion took your questions to Megadeth's drummer extrodinaire, Shawn Drover. Shawn was good enough to give us an answer...
1. My favorite Megadeth song to play live is "Wake up Dead" as it was the 1st video I saw of Megadeth back in 1986, and has been my favorite Megadeth song ever since.
2. The song I would love to play live but have not yet is "The Conjuring", I just think it is a fantastic song all around - Nice and violent, just the way I like it.

yes ive always wondered why dave never used whammy bars. Or if he used why did he decided to stop using them
I put this question over to Dave Mustaine himself. He set the record straight on this one!
"I did use it, I used it in Wake Up Dead, I used it in very small increments in A Reckoning Day and stuff like that. I'm not a guy who is a cry baby that hides his inability to play behind a whammy bar."

Can you tell me why the song Gears of War was not in the game? I looked forward more to the song than the game, although the game was great, my friends, and i were disappointed that the song wasn't in the game. Thanks............Rattled2deth
Hi Rattled2deth, good question! I put this over to Mr Mustaine as this is what he had to say about it...
"Because the game was finished before we wrote the song. I'm sorry Rattled2deth, we were disappointed we weren't on it too. We were even more disappointed when Gears of War 2 came out. I thought it would have been great to have continued the relationship with those guys, but you know what? It's Microsoft, and it's Gears of War, and they've got their own success. They don't need little old me."

I was wondering what amp or pre and power amp Dave used on The System Has Failed. I was told it was a boosted Marshall Plexi? Is this true? I really love his tone, especially on this album.
Hi Dave, the tone on that album certainly does rock. But really, doesn't Dave's tone rock on all his albums?! ;) Dave has always used great equipment and Marshall has always been a leading force but on this album Dave had an amp custom made for him from another company. Dave had this to say when I asked him.
"No, I used a Line 6 custom amp that was made for me. But I am selling them. You can't get them, but I am selling them, I should say."
Since then, Dave has gone back to using Marshall power and we can surely look forward to an even greater tone coming from the next album! Stay tuned!

Dave's influence has been huge from the beginning on inventing and defining metal, but today its split up into many more sub genres. One thing that most will aggree that has made Megadeth so respected, is that after 20+ years you have yet to change your sound. Are there (m)any bands that are big today that you like, that you've played with on tour, would like to play with, or just are enjoying their brand of music? Whats your opinion on bands like Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet for my Valentine, or Slipknot for example?
Thanks, Megadeth Forever!!
Hi Codo! Scorpion asked Dave's opinion on the bands you brought up and here is what he had to say...
"I love AC/DC, I love Iron Maiden. There's a lot of bands I'd love to play with. Especially Led Zeppelin if they do a reunion with Jason playing in John's stead.
I like Avenged, I'm not too familiar with Bullet for my Valentine."

Dear Scorp,
Hey I'm a huge Megadeth fan and eat up any and all info I can on the band and Dave inparticular. And I was wondering what Dave's political stance was and does he consider himself to be a liberal or does he have more conservative politcal views. There are many Megadeth songs that contain political themes and for the life of me I can't understand most of them, also are the themes in these songs an acurate representation of Dave's true political beliefs or do they just simply make for great songs.
Hope that makes sense
#1 Droogie
Hi Charlie! That is a good question and I went right to the source to find out your answer. This is what Dave Mustaine had to say when I asked him.
"Ah, I would say I'm kind of right in the middle.
Welcome to the club. :)
So the answer to that question is that my political stance varies from political campaign to election to lobbying to all the different parts of involvement in the political process. I usually vote for the lesser of two evil."

Hi, I was wondering if there is any sort of connection between the covers of Peace Sells and United Abominations because they both have the UN destroyed or being destroyed. Is UA alluding the Peace Sells or is there no real connection?
- Nick
Hi Nick, I talked with Dave Mustaine about this just last night and this is what he had to say:
"There is certainly a connection. It's kind of link the beginning of Star Wars and the end of Star Wars. But that the way we were introduced into the story in the middle and then the sequel is actually the prequel. So, this is actually Vic going into the United Nations before he came out in Peace Sells. And there you have it."

I noticed a guitar duel with Dave Mustaine & Al Patrelli on the Rude Awakening DVD during SHE WOLF. The only other time that I've heard those solos were background music on VH1's "Behind the Music" with MEGADETH. My question is, was there ever a studio recording of that "Solo Medley" or is it just some rare music thats never really been released formally?
Christian Jimenez
Chowchilla, CA
The extended solo of She-Wolf was added in during the Cryptic Writings tour, long after the album came out. It was never released as a studio recording, only as a live version on the Rude Awakening CD/DVD.

What are all these rumors i've been hearing about megadeths new album... is it true there might be a released album next year? Thanks for reading, regards, Zach
Hi Zach, Megadeth's webmaster Dave McRobb posted this statement just last week on the Megadeth Forums:
"So.... I was talking to my beloved master [Dave Mustaine] tonight on the phone and he wanted me to let you all know that things are moving along oh so well with the brand new studio! The project is in its initial phases... large warehouse type deal... slowly converting into part deluxe recording studio... pre-production... start recording new album in fall! Reminiscent of 'Evolver', wouldn't you say?! In fact we (yes, master Dave M and I) talked about filming aspects of the process and who knows, eh? Sure do love them 'fly-on-the-wall' recording DVD's don't we all?! (heh, no promises yet on that one but it was definitely talked about!). So ya, Dave is quite psyched about this studio and getting the band in, and everyone else involved to lay down some tracks and put out the next stellar Megadeth album! Ahh yes, life is good."
Megadeth's latest album, "United Abominations", was released in May 2007 via Roadrunner Records. The CD has sold around 160,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Dear Scorpion,
I was wondering what is what we can hear in the begining of symphony of destruction and where can i get a sample of it.
Rodrigo Contreras
Santiago, Chile
In the first five seconds of Symphony of Destruction, the sound we hear is an orchestra tuning their instruments, which is done before the beginning of a symphony performance. You can hear the same sound before an opera or symphony concert. After the concertmaster (leader of the violin section) comes onstage and takes a bow, he will turn to the orchestra, signaling them to begin tuning. Directly after tuning the conductor will begin the music.

Dear Scorpion,
I was wondering where the term "Droogies" came from? I know it refers to Megadeth fans but would just like to know its origins.
Ryan Hicks
Glasgow, Scotland
As you know Ryan, Dave Mustaine uses the term "Droogies" when he is referring to Megafans. When asked why he uses this term and where it originated from, Dave stated "It is from A Clockwork Orange, and the reference is about how they were their own little gang." Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange is a film from 1971. According to Kubrick, "The central idea of the film has to do with the question of free will. Do we lose our humanity if we are deprived of the choice between good and evil? Do we become, as the title suggests, A Clockwork Orange?".
The movie was based on the novel, A Clockwork Orange, written by Anthony Burgess in 1962. The Russian author wrote the novel in what he called the "nadsat" (teenage) vocabulary of the future, hence the language of this novel being Russian in origin and often very difficult to decifer. In the novel the author uses the term droog to refer to a friend (ie: my droogies) so when Dave addresses you as a Droogie, he is referring to you as a friend.

Dave formed Fallen Angels in April of 1983, directly following his time in Metallica. The original members were vocalist Lor Caine, rhythm guitarist Robby McKinney and bassist Matt Kisselstein. Dave had no drummer at the time, and the band never played live. While in Fallen Angels, Dave wrote his first songs, Devils Island and Megadeath, which later appeared as Set The World Afire". In June of '83 Dave met David Junior Ellefson and Greg Handevidt at his West Hollywood apartment (the infamous story told in the Megadeth: Behind The Music DVD). Both joined the band, replacing Robby and Matt. Soon Lor Caine was out, Dave took over vocal duties and the band's name was changed to Megadeth.

What was the purpose of the Still Alive...and Well? release? If it was to fulfill contractual obligations to Sanctuary, why did Dave/Sanctuary choose to do more or less a reissue of TWNAH instead of some other not so repetitive compilation? Thanks!
I asked Dave Mustaine your question Kirk, and here is a summary of his answer. "It was essentially a way to help Sanctuary recover some of their loses after it was announced that Megadeth had disbanded. It wasn't so much to fulfill a contractual obligation, as it was more of an offer to repay Sanctuary for what they laid out and/or spent believing in the band. Remember that they are in the business of selling records, I merely make them."
Also, he reasoned that some people were unable to afford Rude Awakening, and Sanctuary has had some experience and success with selling half an original live record...so they released Still Alive...And Well? hoping that all audiences would be able to afford and enjoy it. He went on candidly saying "This was not my idea, but because it looked like an opportunity to 1) give some of the younger fans that don't have much money a chance to buy the songs (or those low on funds in general), and 2) to help repay Sanctuary for their loyalty to me and Megadeth, we went ahead with the release." Well, that all makes sense to me...hope it answered your question Kirk!

Hey Scor! Can you tell me what Dave did with his Jackson King V DM010 "Number One"? Did he sell it? Dose he still have it? Or what dude?
Dave still has his number one. Here is part of an update posted on the Megadeth forums in 2005, before his Jackson guitars were put up for sale at the Megadeth eBay store: "I am finally listing my Jacksons that I have been saving, but I am keeping my number 1. I will never sell that one."

Hi, I am 28 yrs old and Megadeth is my favorite band of all time. They define kick ass music and without them music is nothing. I heard that their last album, united abominations, could be Dave's last album, is this true? Please let me and every other fan know if Dave plans on making any more new Megadeth albums. They are the only band I constantly buy the cd's for because they are the greatest and will always be the greatest. No other band will ever come close to the music Dave can produce. To me it is art. I listen to Megadeth any chance I get and try to encourage others to listen to them. Thank you for your time
Megadeth fan for life,
According to Dave Mustaine, there will be another Megadeth album to come. Check out an excerpt from his latest post on the Megadeth forums, after wrapping up the United Abominations tour: "I can't wait to get back home and get to work on TheLiveLine with my partners, as well as start the building of our new studio. Hell, we need our own place to jam in when we start to reconvene and demo songs for the next record after the summer."

Hello Mr. ScorpioN,
I would like to know about Dave's relationship with Slayer. Did he really audition Kerry King for guitar? Thank you Mr. ScorpioN.
Technically Kerry King was not auditioned, he was asked to leave Slayer and join Megadeth. He ended up filling in for Megadeth's first shows in February 1984 to April of 1984.
Here is an interview with Kerry from Decibel magazine in 2006:
"I did it because I admired Mustaine I'd seen him play with Metallica. He'd be up there drunk off his ass, just ripping, not even looking at his fingers. Me and Jeff didn't know how to do that yet. [laughs] When he got kicked out and was sniffing around for a guitarist, I figured I'd do it because I thought I could learn something. The other guys in Slayer were probably unhappy, but we weren't really known back then, and the way I looked at it was that if people saw me playing in Dave's band, it'd be more publicity for Slayer. Now you look back and you think 'supergroup,' but back then, absolutely not. I played their first five shows, and then I was like, 'Man, this is taking too much of my time.' I can't speak for Dave, but I don't think he would've been unhappy if I stuck around."
As for Dave's relationship with Slayer, there is a long history of slagging in the press, mainly involving Kerry. Here is the last in-depth comment Dave made regarding Slayer, from 2005:
"I don't even expect to see things worked out with Kerry. If I'm willing to sit down and say, 'Hey what's going on, why are you upset?' and he's still going to call me a dick and a prick and all this stuff... it's like, 'Dude, if you want to fight, you know where I live!' I mean, if you are just trying to make yourself look cool, that's understandable... you are cool, so why would you do this? If you really want to take a shot at me then get within range, don't do it through the press because you just make yourself look stupid. I like Slayer, I really don't know what the problem is?"

Can you tell me why the song Gears of War was not in the game? I looked forward more to the song than the game, although the game was great, my friends, and i were disappointed that the song wasn't in the game.
The game Gears of War already had it's music chosen before the song Gears of War was finished. Here's Dave explaining it in 2006, from Xbox's Major Nelson podcast:
"The song Gears of War was being written when we first heard about Gears of War and Xbox partnering with us on Gigantour last year, and I was so flattered and impressed that I had gone over and and taken the title off of the song and changed the title of the song to Gears of War. (I) said, you know what, give them the song, and they said it's too late, the music's already done for the video game, and I said well, it doesn't matter, just tell them that I dedicate this song to them and (am) gonna name it Gears of War, and Jennifer heard it and flipped out over it, and the rest is just a match made in heaven."

There are a few Megadeth tribute albums floating around out there, most notably 1999's Megaded: A Tribute to Megadeth, which featured death metal covers. It was re-released in 2007 as This Is the News.
In 2005, Europe and Argentina saw the release of Hangar Of Souls/Hangar De Almas, an album of Argentinean and European bands paying tribute, most notably Paul Di'Anno, former lead singer of Iron Maiden.
The latest tribute to be released is by 'Metal Allstars', who offer a different take on some Megadeth classics.

I was wondering about the Hangar 18 video. What is that footage from? A sci fi movie? I have tried to find it but have probably looked in the wrong places. The only other answer I can come up with is that its film created by Megadeth specifically for that video.
You are right, the footage was created by Megadeth and director Paul Boyington. You can hear comments from both Daves about the making of Hangar 18 on the Rusted Pieces home video, which I will translate here:
Mustaine: The making of Hangar 18 was really elaborate, as far as the people that were involved. There's a lot of creatures, a lot of makeup, a lot of special effects, miniaturization..
In this video, the creatures that were used, they were quite numerous. There was all kinds of variations from just normal makeup to prosthetic makeup, where they put plastic on you, and they had all different kinds of helmets and masks that they were wearing.
Ellefson: Director Paul Boyington's specialty is building miniature sets, in fact he's done it for some commercials, and for special effects in movies, building entire cities in miniature, like 2-3 feet high miniatures and then having a robotic arm with a camera on the end swooping through the city, and you're going to see a lot of that kind of effect in the Hangar 18 video here, in fact there's a segment right in the very beginning where there's some cattle mutilation, there's dead cattle, there's a comet superimposed coming through in the background...
We shot for two days to actually get the band shots, at a power plant, which supplies about one third of the power to all of Los Angeles, down by the beach...Richard Schnell, who actually created the characters and did all the makeup for the aliens, had us painted white, and then put kind of like a water-based white makeup all over us, and we had to wear these contact lenses. I personally had never worn contact lenses before and I hate the things. Anyway we were put in the four cryogenic chambers in the end and (they) were put onto a cart which was towed by a couple of people down this track, it's at the very end of the video...eyes were killing us, freezing cold...the fun of making videos.

Hey Scorpion !
Megadeth is my favorite band since I was just 3 years old, thanks to my dad a great metalhead, I'm 14 now and I'm still trying to know what's "MD.45"
I searched in some places one the internet, but they have different informations ! So I asked my dad what's "MD.45", he said that it was a solo band of Dave Mustaine. Can you explain me what was that ??
Thanks and congratz for the great work that you have done so far !
Gonçalo Marques, Portugal.
MD.45 was indeed a solo/side project for Dave. The album "The Craving" was released in 1996, and features Dave on guitar, Lee Ving of Fear on vocals, Kelly Lemieux of Goldfinger on bass, and future Megadeth drummer Jimmy DeGrasso. The name was a play on Dave and Lee's initials, 'MD' (Mustaine Dave) and 45, the translation of Roman numerals 'VL' or 'XVL' (Ving Lee). In 2004, "The Craving" was included in the Capitol Records remasters of Megadeth's back catalog, released with three bonus songs and Dave's re-recorded vocal tracks. The remastered version of the album is still in print and available online at Amazon.com.

I found an old song that Megadeth, Judas Priest and Metallica all sang together called Buried Alive. I have had this song for a couple of years. I wanted to know more information about this one song that I have. I don't know what year the song was maid. I guess it was just a one time thing. I cannot find this song from any ones albums.
Thanks Charles
The songs "Buried Alive" that were falsely renamed as being by Metallica/Megadeth on p2p networks are by Shadow Drop, from their 2005 album "Arbitrary" and Merciful Fate, from their 1999 album "9".

Hi Scorpion,
I heard some where that dimebag darrell was asked to be a part of megadeth
Is that true?
Yes. This was a little-known fact up until Dimebag's untimely passing, where Dave made mention of it in the media. Here is the most recent transcript of him discussing it, taken from Headbanger's Ball in 2004.
I had called up Darrell...and I said "Darrell I'd like you to play guitar for me", and he said "Sure man, but I need to bring my brother", and I said "What does your brother do?" I thought he was a guitar tech or something, and he said "No, he plays the drums", and I said "Well, I just hired Nick Menza". And he said basically that he wasn't going to be able to do it unless his brother came along. It was a missed opportunity for me I believe.

Hi Scorpion!
Dread and the Fugitive Mind and Sweating Bullets are two of my favorites Megadeth songs. But can you tell me: what do they talk about? Dread and the Fugitive Mind seems to talk about a thief, or something, but I can't reckognize any specific one. And sweating bullets doesn't make any sense to me. Can you tell me what do they mean? Thank you very much Mr. Fall ofMan!
José Otaviano from Minas Gerais, Brazil
Dave has addressed the subject matter of both songs in the media. In 2001, he talks about Dread and the Fugitive Mind:
"It's about judgment. The great paradox is if there isn't a God and you live your life like a good person, you haven't lost anything. If there is a God and you lived your life like a dirtbag, you're screwed. Basically what I'm saying is, 'What if there's no judgment?' I think a lot of times people have gotten up on the moral hilltop and yelled down to the masses down at the bottom of the valley about their spiritual superiority and it just alienates you."
In 1992, he explains Sweating Bullets:
"I wrote that about myself. It was pointed out to me that I'm kind of schizophrenic and that I live inside my head. Which is something I don't subscribe to, but I enjoyed the theory nonetheless."
"I think all of us are sweating bullets all the time. Society's a joke right now, and people are getting more and more hostile. When you think about having an evil twin or schizophrenia, I think a lot of us are schizo, because we live inside our heads. There's someone we all confer with; it's called our conscience. Some people cannot control their other side; it takes them over. Everybody has that psychotic side. Everyone has a thing that will make them snap."

Dead Battery? Get a new one installed in Morpeth with Who Can Fix My Car TODAY!
The price includes window, tyre, and brakes fix. I'd say that the price is reasonable. The mechanic was very patient and gave me options of parts. Everything works very well since the fix except the rear tyres. Perhaps it's time to return to a tyre specialist.
Very friendly very efficient will use again
Great family feel to this excellent garage. I'll be back. Thanks
Excellent service, picked the car up from my house, diagnosed the problem and solved it within days.
Car sorted nice family business. No worries
Excellent job done. Extremely helpful. Convenient.
Would use again
The 50,000 miles service was carried on time and on budget, with recommendations to consider new brakes pads on the front within 1500 miles and cracked tyres on the rear were noticed, consider renewal sooner rather than later, however no pressure tactics were applied and would certianly recommend them to anyone wanting a similar service.
very good service at a reasonable price. Would recommend to friends
Excellent garage kept me informed throughout highly recommend will use again.
Dropped car off on the morning was explained what work would be done .They later rang to say it was ready before the time .Had no problems with this Garage would probably use them again
Very efficient booking process and work carried promptly whilst I waited. Very pleased with the work carried out and with the price I paid.
