MEGADETH: Official Video Wrap-Up Of First-Ever 'Boot Camp'

The official video wrap-up of the first-ever Megadeth Boot Camp — which was described in a press release as “a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the ultimate MEGADETH fan” — can be seen below. The event took place on March 10-12 on MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine‘s private estate in Fallbrook, California.

Several “experience packages” for the event were sold, with prices ranging from $1999 to $5499.

As part of the premium boot camp package, guests camped in a private furnished bell tent with beds and a lounge. Premium ticketholders were also provided breakfast, lunch and dinner each day, gaining priority access to various workshops and exclusive access to the intimate acoustic performance from MEGADETH.

Fans opting for the $2000 second-tier package stayed at a hotel fifteen minutes away with shuttle service to the estate each day.

Over the weekend, attendees were getting the opportunity to meet members of the band at a question-and-answer session, participate in guitar, bass and drum clinics, drink coffee from bassist David Ellefson‘s boutique coffee brand Ellefson Coffee Co. with Ellefson himself and go to a wine-tasting session with Mustaine. There was also time allotted for campfire stories with bandmembers.

Ellefson, who is a pastor in the Lutheran church, also conducted a “contemporary non-denominational service” at the event, dubbed “Megadeth Church.”

Mustaine put the Fallbrook house on the market in October 2015 for $5.375 million — more than five times what he paid for it three years earlier — but that price came down in June 2016 by almost a million and a half to $3.895 million. The property now sits at an even lower price of $3.195 million, according to public records.

Mustaine and his family moved to Nashville in October 2014.
