For All Things Considered this afternoon, Hawai‘i Public Radio breaks out the metal. Heavy metal, that is. Next week, Wednesday and Thursday, Honolulu gets a rare visit from one of the bigger names in the genre, as Megadeth plays the Republik. Touring behind their new album Dystopia, Megadeth have a long history and achieved breakthrough success in 1986 with “Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying?” Their founder, Dave Mustaine, also can lay claim to being guitarist in the original Metallica. Today, HPR All Things Considered local host Dave Lawrence welcomed Dave Mustaine to the airwaves of HPR1.
