I missed it! I would have loved to give the make over for one of my favorite bands.
MEGA Design Contest for Megadeth!
Judged by Dave Mustaine himself!!!
After two decades of rocking, the heavy metal band Megadethâ™s mascot Vic Rattlehead needs a face lift and the band has commissioned deviantART to redesign him!!
Vic Rattlehead Vic Rattlehead
Vic Rattlehead
The mythic creation of Vic Rattlehead is addressed in the song /Skull Beneath the Skin/:
Prepare the patients scalp
To peel away
Metal caps his ears
Heâ™ll hear not what we say
Solid steel visor
Riveted cross his eyes
Iron staples close his jaws
So no one hears his cries
