MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine took to Periscope on Monday, September 12 to give fans a closer look at his farm in Franklin, Tennessee, including his horses Gerrit and Rocky and dog Gunnar. Check out the 13-minute clip below. Mustaine told Rolling Stone India in an interview last year that his family's move to Nashville was prompted largely by his daughter's decision to launch a country music career. He said: "The reason we moved out here was because I've made four records out here and all those times I was recording, I did live here. It really was comfortable to be here. The last time we were here, Electra was only two years old. We didn't know that she had the gift and once she started singing — I heard her sing one time and I was really convinced." He continued: "I don't profess to be a singer first and foremost — I'm a guitar player that sings more than a singer who plays guitar. But with her, she really is. That's her strong point. For her, this is music city. It's all about country. It's where she's flourishing." Mustaine added: "I could do my job from anywhere — MEGADETH is that successful. I can do stuff on the Net from a desert island if I wanted to. But I think for her, to be here right now and work with other songwriters builds her name. She just goes in and meets people and doesn't tell them who her dad is. [Laughs]" Mustaine and his family moved to Tennessee in October 2014 after living in Fallbrook, California for many years. MEGADETH tour with AMON AMARTH, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES and METAL CHURCH kicks off on September 20 in Casper, Wyoming and runs through October 15 in Camden, New Jersey.
