Megadeth.com has some additional information in regards to the new Megadeth "Anthology: Set The World Afire" 2-CD collection. There had been a change to the track list which did not appear on a Press Release that was issued yesterday and is as follows: "Foreclosure Of A Dream" has replaced "Sleepwalker" as track 16 on Disc 2 on the new album. We ask those who had posted yesterday's press release/track list to update their records. Dave Mustaine commented: "As I have always said, "it aint official until you read it here!"

Following the successful 2007 release of the coveted 4-CD+DVD "Warchest" box set, Megadeth is back with a vengeance with "Anthology: Set The World Afire". The career-spanning 2-CD and digital collection, to be released September 30 by Capitol/EMI. Dave Mustaine: "I'm really excited about this new release because after the Warchest coming out, the Arsenal Of Megadeth, and the Greatest Hits package, I was concerned that we wouldn't have a package that would be able to stand up against the other three and this is a really great offering of some of our more popular songs. The artwork was a real strip down version of an album cover back like it was before we had 30-page booklets and CD's, so it's very simple artwork on the package and it's just straight forward Megadeth music."

Dave Mustaine has posted the following update on the Megadeth Forums: "Well, I for one am enjoying this weekend, now that I am a civilian again and off of the Killing Road. ANd I am not looking forward to Monday. The working at the studio everyday from 9am to sometimes 1:30am is a lot of time to be on your feet. I want to thank the gentlemen spearheading our studio construction; Brandon, Jeff, and each of their crews of guys. Shane is vital too as you will find out, and James helped with the layou fo the rooms, painted 6 walls, and is waiting to come over and help." MORE

Dave Mustaine has posted the following update on the Megadeth Forums: "Lasty, I am in the middle of some intense house-cleaning at the studio and there will be tons of stuff that will be sorted before we start the next record. So, that means loads of kewl stuff for EBay. There is also going to be a lot of the "much needed" fixes that our beloved webmaster has been asking about, but I was just not aware of how important it was; stuff like the Official sites, forums, and the desperately overdue fanclub issues matters very much to me. I hope you dig what we do to improve things around here with the help and input from our webmasters, our SLs, and YOU!" MORE
