TUESDAY 29 OCTOBER - OPIUM LIVE!, DUBLIN
WEDNESDAY 30 OCTOBER - LIMELIGHT, BELFAST
General On Sale this Friday 03 May at 9am!
Performing early MEGADETH material from 'Killing is my Business...and business is good!','So Far...So Good...So What!', 'Peace Sells but Who's Buying?' and select cuts from Youthanasia to honour it's 30th Anniversary. The album went gold in the UK! IG.jpg
Ahhh Jaysus... Youthanasia? Ye fucking dopes.
Ah no that's class. First Three + Youthanasia sounds great to me.
Nice they include Ireland as part of the UK on the poster :-X
Limelight 1 is a bit optimistic for this surely?
Hopefully Ellefson pulls a crowd as well as he pulls something else.
I was pretty skeptical of this gig, but after seeing some live videos, it's probably a better Megadeth experience than seeing Megadeth. The Limelight 1 seems like a stretch to fill for two former Megadeth members. Maybe it will end up being pushed into Limelight 2.
Ellefson and Young are 2 words that has caused issue in the past!

Word!
Kings of Thrash. Such a fucking embarrassing and crap name for a band. Whatever you say about Mustaine being a muppet, it highlights how much of the creativity behind Megadeth came from him. Ellefson should hook up with Kerry King...
It is absolutely a shit name but I think in cases like this it really doesn't matter.
Ellefson, Poland, Friedman, Menza etc were important though, I know Dave was the main man but without those guys you see what kind of shit he churns out.
Fair play to Ellefson for bashing out these tours when he doesn't need to. Anything to keep him off the laptop I suppose.
Will probably be a good night out if one accepts it for what it is.

Most bands though start throwing out shite the longer they go on, even if all those guys were still there I doubt the current output would be any better
And Ellefson was probably the most expendable of them all, good player but their most famous bass line is probably Peace Sells and Mustaine wrote that
He has writing credits on Lucretia, Tornado of Souls, In My Darkest Hour, Liar and Hook in Mouth among others. He's far from some disposable goon.
Maybe so. Still a cunt of a name. They should have just called it Degameth which would be 100 times less shit, as dire as it is.
Think were undermining his contributions here. It's very much Mustaine's baby but without Ellefson, Friedman, Poland, Menza etc those records wouldn't have sounded as good or been the success they were. Listen to what Mustaine has come up with over the last 20 years or so. Nobody in there with a say or to assist writing a track. For all Mustaine's talents those latter-day albums are complete shit.

As talented as Dave was on the classic he always needed guys that were a level up from him in the band.

I reckon this will eventually happen

Keeps him from bashing out something else.
I'd almost rather see this than the actual band. More intimate venue, and the front man will probably perform better than Mustaine.

Check out this great review here (https://www.metaltalk.net/kings-of-thrash-revive-megadeth-legacy-in-underworld-tour-kickoff.php?fbclid=IwY2xjawGMaWFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHQBXloyHkKWgHGPClnVhvDaP055gsu4laKeE3drfk26duRTvOznCU2ifbA_aem_yYmujf2KKQ_eVwUSVvID1Q)
Great show and amazing chops all round. But I'd like to give a special shout out to this IG (https://www.instagram.com/overdrive.ie/p/DBtOZ_LtYKo/) that told me they'd be on at 9:20, resulting in me showing up at 8:55 and missing half the set.
Something similar happend to me for Orange Goblin at the same venue a few weeks ago. I don't know where I got the misinfo, but thankfully I got in just as they were starting.
You'd think the venue would have this listed on their page. They didn't even mention who the support was!
Glad to hear it was a great show though.
