My kid brother and I went to the Mayhem festival tonight for the express purpose of seeing Megadeth. The bill for the show was Trivium, Megadeth, Godsmack and Disturbed.
Trivium opened and played a great set. Before Megadeth came out, this local DJ came on stage to rile up the crowd and was saying that Dave Mustaine had been injured and had to cancel Megadeth's performance in Oklahoma City. Apparently, Dave flew to Dallas this morning, and went to the doctor for the Dallas Mavericks, who told Dave to quit the tour and go home. Dave decided to play tonight anyway. Megadeth did a five song set (Hangar 18, Headcrusher, Public Enemy #1 - a new one off their upcoming album, Symphony of Destruction and Peace Sells). After they played Peace Sells, Dave apologized to everyone for the short set and said 'They told me to go the fuck home and I told them to fuck off. Now I'm going the fuck home'.
If your hoping to see Megadeth in Atlanta, Tampa or West Palm Beach then I think you're going to be disappointed.
My brother and I stayed for half a dozen Godsmack songs, and when it got to the point where I just couldn't take anymore we left.
At least I got to see Trivium and Megadeth, even if it was an abbreviated set for Megadeth. They did rock though, and the song off the new album was awesome!
