While in rehearsal for "Blackmail the Universe Tour" in October 2004, six days before the first show,[1] Shawn replaced newly returned drummer Nick Menza in thrash metal band Megadeth, who, according to Mustaine, was unable to prepare for the physical demands of a full US tour.

While on the Gigantour in 2005, Shawn became the third Megadeth guitarist on stage during "Peace Sells" while Mike Portnoy previously of Dream Theater played the drums.

He is also a huge NHL fan citing favorite teams such as the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, Tampa Bay Lightning, Pittsburgh Penguins, and the Calgary Flames.
