Jose Mangin of Revolver TV conducted an interview with MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine on the "black carpet" of the Revolver Golden Gods Awards, whcih took place on Thursday, April 8 at Club Nokia in downtown Los Angeles. Watch the four-minute chat below.

MEGADETH will guest on the nationally syndicated radio show "Rockline" with host Bob Coburn on Monday, May 24 at 8:30 p.m. PT / 11:30 p.m. ET. Fans are encouraged to speak with MEGADETH by calling 1-800-344-ROCK (7625).

"The Right To Go Insane", the new video from MEGADETH, can be viewed below. In the clip, which features no performance footage, Mustaine is filmed sneaking onto a military facility, stealing a tank and playing crash-up derby through the streets. Video footage from the cockpit shows him singing and laughing, while shots from a surveillance helicopter depict a missile gunsight tracking him as he pillages.

"The Right To Go Insane" video is based on the events of May 17, 1995 when Shawn Timothy Nelson, a U.S. Army veteran and unemployed plumber, stole an M60 Patton tank from a United States National Guard Armory in San Diego, California and went on a rampage, destroying cars, fire hydrants, and an RV before being shot dead by police.

"If I am going to carjack something, I'm going to do it Mustaine-style and go over the top like my new M60 Abrams tank with a sunroof," Mustaine joked to Noisecreep.

"The Right To Go Insane" was shot in South El Monte, California and directed by Bill Fishman, who also helmed MEGADETH's last video, "Head Crusher", the Grammy-nominated first single from the band's new CD, "Endgame".

"This video was a blast to film; Bill Fishman did a great job; even better in my honest opinion than our first video with him," Mustaine said. "But let me warn you, even though it looks like fun ... don't try this at home."
