On April 5, the four members of Megadeth participated in a news conference prior to the start of their spring tour of South America in Lima, Peru. One of the first questions was about that visit to the White House in 1992 within the framework of the campaign “Rock The Vote” of the Democratic National Convention.
When asked how that was and if he would do it again, Mustaine answered the following: “What was it like going to the White House and doing the “Rock The Vote” thing? Well, I think if you want to say something, you have to know what you’re saying. I was asked to help the people of my country register to vote, not to become a Democrat or a Republican, but to vote. And I’ve always said that when I talk to people, I try to show them both sides and then I let that person choose. In my songs I don’t try to tell people what to do.”.
Regarding whether he would repeat it, he pronounced himself like this: “I would do it again? I guess I continue to do it every day being an example in heavy metal music that not everyone in metal is uninterested in the social problems of their country and singing about things that matter.”.
