We asked Selin...
How long have you been a Megadeth fan?
Since 2000. My cousin was playing "Lucretia" on his guitar all the time. That was the first Deth song I've learned.
What are your three favorite Megadeth songs?
Megadeth songs are like kids to me. I can't choose between them. =)
What is your favorite Megadeth album?
Definitely "Youthanasia". I think "Youthanasia" reflects the maturing of the band's sound perfectly!
How many times have you seen Megadeth live?
Two times. In 2001 and 2005, both in Istanbul.
What's your favorite song from United Abominations?
Washington Is Next
Have you met the band? If so, what did you say?
Yes I did. We talked about a lot of stuff, but the most memorable conversation I had with Dave Mustaine is when I asked him if he recognized me from the previous concert, and he said he recognized my "deep blue" eyes. I was very flattered. :)

What is your favorite piece of Megadeth merch?
My Megadeth wristband, which was given to me by Mr. Mustaine himself.

Receiving Megadeth goodies
When did you join the club and what is your MFC member number?
Member # 2766, joined on June 15 2006
Why are you a fan of Megadeth?
Because Dave Mustaine is a musical genius, and means much more than a father, a crush, even a god for me.
Have you got any interesting Megadeth stories for us?
At the meet&greet after the 2005 Istanbul concert, I had the guys sign my t-shirt. I sat on their tables one by one, so they could sign it. When I sat on Mustaine's table, he pulled me back towards him cause he had difficulty signing the "soaked wet" t-shirt. People all chuckled. Later, I saw myself on TV, being pulled back by Mustaine. :)

Why are you a fan of Megadeth?
I got the chance to meet the band and started to listen to their music. After a couple years, the only cd's I had in my car were Megadeth. Now my ipod is Megadeth dominated. Why am I a fan? Do I really need to answer that? They're the best band on the planet.
Have you got any interesting Megadeth
stories for us?
When I first started to really like the band in '98, my buddy Dave Mcrobb and I flew around in a Cessna 172, IN WINTER, going to the last five shows on the Risk tour. Flying around was kinda scary (hence the Risk tour) since the weather was a little nasty... and Dave was the pilot. :| (kidding Dave :P) We ended up getting snowed in, in Spokane and had to rent a car to finish the tour. We had a blast... That's all I'll say about that. Not something too many people get to do. Since then, I've seen a lot of shows and have had the honor of meeting the band and Dave Mustaine at several points over the last decade. Megadeth has become a mainstay in my life. I'm always playing them to my friends and supporting their music. One thing that kinda bugs me is, there have been a bunch of pictures taken with Dave Mustaine and I, but I've never got one! I'm looking forward to the next time I see them so that I can finally get that picture... I hope. The more I came to love them, the more I did'nt want to "bother" Dave when I saw him. A bit star struck. A long way from the first time I met him when I took so many pictures, he looked at me like I was an idiot... :|
