Jed Babbin and heavy metal guitarist/vocalist Dave Mustaine of
Megadeth probably don't have too many overlapping areas of
interest, but an abiding disgust for the United Nations is
apparently one of them. Here's Mustaine explaining to
Billboard how his band's upcoming opus came to be titled
United Abominations:
"I was watching TV and saw the trucks that said 'UN' on them
and said, 'Man, you are so uncool, ineffective, anything," Mustaine
said. "I thought, 'Wow, I've got to run with this. I got it --
United Abominations, 'cause it's an abomination what they're
doing!'"
