Great to see so many shows announced but this is one I would avoid like the plague. I'm sure there's plenty of Megadeth fans here but I found them to be one of the worst live acts I've ever seen. Zero energy and Dave's vocals are muck.
Is this Megadeth opening for Disturbed?
If so that has to be a kick in the hole for MegaDave.
Latter day Megadeth and arguably the worst thing shat out by nu metal?
Pass!
I actually like Disturbed as a live band. Amazing vocals and always tightly played. Even if Disturbed were playing on their own, I'd be going.
I'll be going with my Palestinian flag........
There's a handful of decent Disturbed songs I enjoy but they're generally utter shite, and the singer is an insufferable zionist cunt
Went to see Megadeth last time they played here with Sylosis and Lamb of God, ended up leaving about halfway through their set they were so bad
How are Disturbed headlining that tour or what's the gain for Megadeth/Dave? A handy European run that'll keep the cash flowing in without having the stress of planning a big set?

I've fuck all interest in seeing Disturbed and I love Megadeth but I wouldn't be forking out just to see a shortened support set from them.
Disturbed are shite.
Megadeth I saw at their peak (Rust In Peace tour) so they could only be disappointing in comparison.
Only time I got to see Megadeth was at the gig with LOG and I thought they were good (but that was 10 years ago now, fucking hell!), Dave looks in rough shape judging by recent videos.
Seeing them opening for such a shit band is fairly sad though.

Wise up. U are actually comparing Ireland to Gaza?? Don't forget it was IRA murdered most of their own Catholic people. Bit different ain't it?
No need to get into either Middle Eastern or Irish history to arrive at the conclusion that someone who makes a photo op of signing a heavy explosive that has a very high chance of killing children is a psycho.
Edgy and cool on a metal music forum..... right. Very creative with Bogshite too. Fair play to you. So I'm a twat and you're an uncreative, unfunny simpleton.... :laugh:

Lad if you can't see the similarities between 2 countries with aggressive expansionist neighbours who are more than willing to commit atrocities which led to the birth of armed resistance groups then that's on you.
No one is denying the IRA also did heinous shit or saying that Ireland was bombed to oblivion like Gaza.
A poster asked why so many Irish take interest in a middle Eastern conflict and it's because we see reflections of our own history in it.
Disturbed have had a more consistent audience - that's why they are headlining. Megadeth had a few heavy hitting records sales wise then about ten where sales dwindled and dwindled. They're shit live too so people don't get off their holes to see it.
They seem to have gotten a new energy with that Teemu fella on guitar in the few clips I've seen. Mustaines voice has always been a weak point live but the musicianship was still always top notch.
I'd consider this if Megadeth did a full length set or if I got to pick up a cheap ticket near the date :laugh:

And lads, leave the fucking politics out of it.
Megadeths last record sold twice what Disturbeds did. It debuted at #3 on the Billboard Chart.
Sales were shite for both in terms of their overall career-sales, but it doesn't explain the weirdness of the billing.
I enjoy a bit of Disturbed. I don't actively listen to them, but I have friends who are into them and I won't complain whenever they put them on. I like your man's funny voice :laugh: I've caught them twice at a festival and they sounded great.
I'd go see Megadave but I wouldn't be paying anywhere near big money. Yeah his voice isn't good live, and it hasn't been for a long time, but I can't say I've ever seen a bad set, the musicianship has always been ace. Or maybe I've just been drunk enough to not care. Thought they sounded good in '22 and '23 anyway
Don't give a shite about Disturbed but I'll be there for Megadeth. Was lucky to see the classic lineup in the SFX in 1995 on the Youthanasia tour. Also saw them with Chris Adler on Drums and Lamb of God supporting in the 3 Arena, I thought Dave was in great humour that day and I really enjoyed that gig, they played Lizzy's Cold Sweat too. Really looking forward to this now but would prefer to see them in The Academy but this is better than nothing.
Not true. Have a look at the overall sales figures please. Disturbed's record Immortalized (2015) did 1 million in the states alone.
Disturbed's fifth consecutive number one debut on the United States Billboard 200 chart. None of Megadeths Releases in the 2000s + come close to that, not even combined worldwide sales.
For similar vintage Super Collider did around 86K by the end of 2015 and has not budged really.
Yeah Sick Dying Dead made it to number 3 and did around 48K -but Disturbed like it or not have had more recent commercial success than Megadeth, even look at how successful that stupid cover of sound of silence was. They got massive airplay from that. And as a live act they still do much more numbers than Megadeth. Believe me I can't stand them but it's ridiculous to think Megadeth would headline over them in the three arena. What did the last Megadeth show do there with Lamb of God supporting? It was less than 5K.
Megadeth have long slipped down the ranks - even with the big four thing they were told their placing was due to sales and live draw.
Pretty sure they toured as support to Five Finger Death Punch in the US a while ago too. You can't deny their legacy and the impact those early albums had, but their days as a big draw are long gone

Megadeth were playing the Ambassador 20 years ago and much closer to their pomp back then, so are never gonna headline a large venue here again unfortunately. Disappointed to see who they're supporting though. Any other band and I'd go to see Megadeth, but I'm not lining Draimans pockets this time. Can imagine there'll be a few protests in and outside this if the Palestine campaigners get wind of his actions.

That's if you include IRA members blown up by their own bombs, killed as informers and Official IRA/IPLO members. Take them out and the number drops dramatically. Regardless, loyalist paramilitaries killed far more Catholics.
Anyway, it's amazing how far Megadeth have dropped in status. They played the Point twice (91 and 92) and the 3Arena in 2015 (although that was with Lamb of God and Children of Bodom as support) and namechecked in The Van. While never as big as Metallica, they did have a mainstream cache that the likes of Slayer didn't have. And yet Slayer became the bigger draw over time whereas Dave and co. slowly slipped down the festival billings. I even recall Feeder (yes, the Welsh band) headlining Download with Megadeth below Garbage and Dinosaur Jr.
Disturbed were and always will be shite.
Ffs. What a weird pairing. Certainly don't wanna give any money to that Zionist prick.

Source?
I think MegaDave's prolific output over the years (compared to Metallica/Slayer anyway) ultimately worked against him, the other two can cash in on the nostalgic or casual fan with material that vaguely resembles/self-plagiarises their classic material once a decade, followed by a highly lucrative 'might be your last chance' world tour, whereas Dave has spent nearly 3 decades churning out mostly poor albums every 2-3 years like clockwork.
You can admire the work ethic, but he could have really just taken the best three tracks each from United Abominations, Endgame, Thirteen etc to actually make a decent record.
I was saying to someone after the Pantera show I couldn't be arsed to see the likes of Megadeth going through the motions after a show like that. So I definitely won't be paying a 100 euro to see them play a support slot. Now if Slayer were to announce a gig it might be a different story.
Id have normally turned a blind eye to a genocidal sympathiser for the sake of a good night!,not anymore!
Disturbed's crimes against music far outweigh their crimes against humanity.
Megadave looks like an alzheimer's victim shuffling around in his pyjamas the last few years. He used to look cool and got away with not doing much on-stage, but now he looks lost and bewildered.

Dave really does shuffle around now in similar style to how Ozzy used to walk. The amount of drugs it took to melt their heads to that point must be something else.
230 comments on The DME FB page,never seen anything even close to that before after a gig announcement!
Tbh I have never listened to Disturbed,(bar hearing their main tracks).Id no idea about your man signing the missile until a few buddies mentioned it in a WhatsApp group!
First I heard about it was in this this thread. It's silly and funny, nothing more. If he had signed a Palestinian rocket he'd be considered a hero :laugh:
He is considered a hero. By psychos.
No doubt. And if it was reversed etc.
It's not heroic. It's not a hate crime. It's just silly.
If it was reversed? So if someone signed a Hamas rocket in the knowledge that Hamas was actively using those same rockets to maim and kill thousands of Israeli children? Yeah, that person would also be a psycho, and that even if they'd mentally re-labelled those children "human shields." Like I said, there's no need to get into, much less try to reverse, the details of either Middle Eastern or Irish history to conclude that it's a psychotic (much more than "just silly") thing to do.
I'll meet you in the middle on this one. Psylly.
Politics aside, one hasn't released a good album in over 30 years, the other is just utter shite. Thanks but no.

The isles have it.
Some Disturbed stuff is grand. The Indestructable album is decent enough to listen to in the gym or out running but it's hardly going to reinvent mainstream metal. I hadn't heard about the singer signing bombs until now. Silly move but most people won't be aware or give a fuck.
Megadeth... oh dear, where to start... I fucking used to love this band. I still rate their early releases as some of metals best but after 30 years of utter shite from them, I wouldn't cross the road to see them now.
Main issue for me though is that since dynamic pricing became the norm, I'm not willing to fork out what these bands are asking for. The mind boggles how so many bands struggled to fill small venues when ticket prices were way lower and bands were in top form and now there's a slew of old fuckers selling out arenas peddling their peak material to people who weren't even born by the time they turned to shit. It's not about the music as much as the event these days.
I saw Megadeth last Summer and thought they were pretty good. Better than the last show in Dublin. They added Washington is Next onto the setlist after I saw them would've liked to hear that.
Would go see Megadeth again if they came on another package tour like last time.
Politics aside, Disturbed is woeful scutter. Politics included, what's worse than woeful scutter...
Zero chance I'm giving any money to that fuckin mallet
I've largely come off social media but couldn't resist having a look at the DME post as someone here said the comments have exploded.

DME may have walked into this unwittingly
These bigger gigs are MCD, not DME, he just posts them as he's a subsidiary of MCD and he has reach. Same as Pantera and NIN. His gigs have both logos on the poster.

I never heard of the bomb signing thing until this thread too. Bit of a silly move I think, why would you want to polarise your fan base like that?
Here's a video of him talking about how war is bad, a couple of months before he signed the bombs 🤷

The McGregor pic was carried over from the old forum and I post on here maybe once a year nowadays so there is no political inference to be drawn from that.
I'm also not a Zionist and I'm not Jewish. I don't think I've ever even met an Irish Jew for that matter.
So there's your lesson for the day, there are no Zionists in Ireland and as much as I hate to break it to you, your online protesting a shite gig isn't going to achieve anything for the middle East.

Don't give enough of a shite about Disturbed to give a shite about yer mans politics, just sad to see Megadeth stooping to opening for said shit band.

Dunno mate you got upset about someone's Conor McGregor profile photo earlier you have to choose between being an edgelord or a snowflake
A snowflake and an edge lord hmm. That's a bit of a contradiction but anyway: If you mean snowflake as in i would deride some moron for having a muti-time sexual assaulter/rapist in his profile pic then yeah I'm a snowflake.
If you mean edgelord for my comment on Hamas then yeah, I do not enjoy when natives get bombed out of existence by an imperialist scumbag country like the good ol usa and their sponsored megalomaniac Bibi.
I can see why you are offended on Israels behalf tho, they own all of your favourite porn sites.
You care a lot. Why don't you go to Gaza and lend a hand?
Why don't you and fellow meathead mcgregor go fight for the promised land. I mean the Israeli army will take any inbred moron at this stage.

It was Willie Adler who got some hop yeah very first song but this was also at the Megadeth support that Randy was set upon prior not the Slayer gig at all.
Ah right. Wires crossed.
Funfact, Tony Laureano was the Megadeth drum tech at that time.

Just encountered this piece of fantasy skimming through the news
Quotethe tour celebrates 25 years of DISTURBED's seminal debut album which launched the band into public consciousness and is one of the most important and influential heavy metal albums of all time.
Yeah, you think you could do them for blatant false advertising but it turns out it's a line in an article. I'm genuinely amazed that someone could think that up, never mind have the neck to print it. It's all turning to pure shite when cunts can get away with that.
It's not even an important nu-metal album, nevermind beyond that scope.
A mate of mine used to listen to it all the time. I had veered into more underground territory in my listening habits by then and found it really fucking awful to listen to. Even by nu metal standards it was pretty bad. I remember the production being really weak, with thin wimpy sounding guitars. If you put it next to a Korn, Deftones or SOAD production it sounded quite lifeless. And the songs were desperate. I haven't heard it since back then but I can't imagine it has aged well. I was watching Rick Beato dissecting Freak On A Leash by Korn the other day and it struck me how complex their music was/is. The production on Follow the Leader is quite impressive. I wonder if I could get through the entire album these days... it's on the shelf... maybe....
Disturbed were even more embarrassing than their counterparts.
Never liked Follow the Leader, they had run their course for me at that stage, but went back to Life Is Peachy a few years ago and it was ridiculous.
Particularly galling is how much of a Christian it's lead singer claims to be yet he's signing bombs to drop on innocent people.

Ridiculous as in terrible? I used to enjoy it from time to time. Reminded me of JK on the radio, where I first heard it as a teen and thought it was deadly.
Ya, utter shite. Nostalgia couldn't save it. May give it another lash though at some point.
All day I dream about sex. I appreciate the sentiment but as a song title... heavens above!
Just wondering if anyone knows how this is selling? Alot of backlash rightfully aimed at the singer after Sabbath gig hard to see the crowds flocking
They'd make more money charging lads not to go.
He seems to be public enemy no1 in the rock/metal world right now, you'd imagine it has impacted sales big time.
I wouldn't be surprised if this got cancelled. Draiman probably thinks Ireland is a Hamas hotbed. If Megadeth come over anyway I won't give a shite.
Were Disturbed ever big over here? I confess, their US success baffles me but I don't recall them ever being a big thing outside the US in the way Korn or Linken Park were.
I never listened to them whereas I did listen to the first few Korn and Slipknot albums even though I thought Nu-Metal was shite back in the day.
You'll still probably get a decent crowd at this, moreso for MegaDave.
But I really can't see how Disturbed are that big of a draw for it.
Sure, weren't there fellas earlier in the is thread saying they don't support Draimen and Co. but will still go for Megadeth. Paying to go for Megadeth is still paying Disturbed to turn up.
Would be some craic if most of the crowd walked out after Magadeth. :abbath:
Maybe and opportunity for a decent rival gig somewhere to catch some stray punters.
Yeah id love to see Megadeth agaon and bring the young lad but fuck thst I'm not supporting this guy.
Id say there will be issues throughout Europe too with sales.
Latest is he picked a fight with Morello/decided to make himself a personal victim of Morello praising Kneecap:

The lower tier of seats was sold out for ages (although I've just looked and it seems that a couple rows of VIP have been released at normal prices), but strangely the promotors seem to have not bothered opening any of the upper blocks of seating. I think standing has been available the whole time, and still is.
Wondering if they're just gonna stick to the smaller capacity setup and hope the gig passes as quietly as possible cause there's doubtlessly going to be some small crowd gathering around the venue on the night with Palestinian flags etc.
Anyway pretty strange package because Megadeth probably could have sold that many tickets in the downsized 3 arena setup on their own.
I'd no interest in this really, but got a free ticket so I'll head along for Megadeth. As soon as they're finished I'll be off, hoping a lot of the crowd will do the same
Is Larry David the only sound Jew?

Perfect name for them: Disturd
Megadave to bald Dave, "There was this one time, in Belfast in 1988, I went political"
After David Draiman called Tom Morello "shameful" for supporting Kneecap, the Irish hip-hop trio responded by dubbing the Disturbed singer a "straight up cunt."
100% agree.
:laugh: I like them young lads, they've got balls
They do the movie is great too
Be amazed to see what type of crowd turns up to the Disturbed gig and what kind of pre gig media promotion there will be.
Morello recently told The Strombo Show, "I mean, they're clearly the Rage Against The Machine of now. Like, there's them and there's a gap to the next one. ... What they're doing in their art is what people could probably stand to do more in their lives: to really speak truth to power. And, you know, Kneecap are not terrorists."
Not a kneecap fan but I have admiration for them.Draiman isn't going to win this media battle.

Since it came out just after Morello said this, I couldn't help mentally comparing their new video to the one RATM did on Wall Street ('Sleep Now in the Fire') and concluding that, objectively, even at their height, Rage couldn't have made a video comprised of a more impressive collection of actions that have pissed off "the machine" no end. And beside that, on the other end of the spectrum, Draiman signing an artillery shell absolutely does look like the act of a straight up cunt.

Also Megadeth are one of the worst live bands on the go.
Paying to see MegaDave is still paying Disturbed, whether you stay or not.

What a fucking abortion of a thread. Embarrassing stuff.
Almost 100% of Palestinian males are circumcised, along with the vast majority of Muslim males, so maybe edit your childish antisemitic outburst there tortles.

If you can't criticize a zionist without antisemitic slurs, it would be better for the Palestinian cause if you said nothing. That is looking at intent.

Hi. I'm not Jewish but I'm commenting because I'm sick of people bashing my circumcised brethren. My circumcised todger may be 2 inches (maybe smaller) when flaccid but I can assure you it reaches lengths of at least 5 inches when fully erect, and the girth is most impressive. Thanks.

Quote from: Iliketortles on July 17, 2025, 12:10:33 PM.
You can give a shit about Palestinians and still not realize when you're being both antisemitic and ignorant, since the slight you chose applies as much to Palestinians as Israelis. It's exactly the kind of comment zionists love to see and point to as "proof" that anti-zionism is just anti-semitism. So, if you do give a shit, it's worth bearing in mind.
The Tortles comment was appalling. Is that what the view looks like from the moral high ground? Talk about head up arse stuff.
.
Cool man, you've made your point.
I see you are doubling down. Two things can be wrong at the same time.
Black Shepherd Carnage's point is a valid one your sort of post is exactly what the likes of Alan Shatter would seize on to say this is really all about irrational hatred of Jews rather than a point of principle against a state slaughtering civilians daily. If you notice Alan Shatter didn't accuse Ireland of Russia phobia when we supported a bill to not handle products. from the Donbas region back in 2014. Alan also professes to be against terrorism yet I have never heard him condemn the Palmach unit and other Jewish terrorist groups that were regarded as heroes, who were seen as instrumental in the state of Israel being formed
Alan is a vile hypocrite who should be challenged on his nonsense at every turn. Don't make it easy for his sort

He signed an artillery shell with "Fuck Hamas". It would be like someone from the UK signing "Fuck Hitler" on an artillery shell in WWII.
He obviously expected the shell to be used against Hamas, who are a genocidal, antisemitic terror group. Could it have been involved in civilian casualties? Sure.
But there's also a good chance it just blew apart some Hamas arsehole.
At the height of WWII, Hitler had the second most powerful military in the world, after Russia. So, no, it's not like that at all. It's a lot more like if some jingoist celebrity tit from the UK signed "Fuck the IRA" on an artillery shell they were expecting to be dropped in the middle of West Belfast but they didn't give a fuck because they thought Irish Catholics were subhumans who all hated the Brits anyway, so fuck 'em and their Brit-hating kids too. You seem to have missed the part where Draiman is just such a jingoist celebrity tit, just for Israel instead of the UK.
Blew up a Hamas guy? Statistically, not likely. Even so, knowing what he knows now, with the benefit of hindsight, he still accuses anyone who speaks out about the very obvious land-grab and ethnic cleansing program in progress, of anti-semitism, which dilutes the significance of actual anti-semitism. He uses the tragedy of the holocaust to try to shut down any discussion of the extermination of Palestinians. He's a cunt, let's not mince about, regardless of his religion.

After Europeans joined the long list of people who fucked over the Jews, their own state is a fair outcome,
Mecca anyone ?
Vatican anyone?
Yeah well Jewish state is fine but not at the expense of anyone else.
Watch the Israeli documentary Tantura stevie. You'll see that the only thing the modern state of Israel has in common with the Vatican is a historical murderous disregard for all individuals who don't belong to their in-group.
Megadeth have announced next album and tour in 2026 will be their last. You'd assume we'll be on whatever the European leg is wouldn't you, or could this be the last time they play here?
Would imagine the farewell will last at least 3 years with a couple of runs of Europe. Would be surprising, and underwhelming, if the last show they do here is to a half empty crowd opening for Disturbed.

I hope for their sake (and also presume) that Megadeth will do a final headlining farewell tour off the back of their final album, rather than bowing out as support to the second most detestable nu-metal band the world has ever known (after Lostprophets #topical).

Looks like the wings of the upper tiers are closed off for the show, and about half of what is open up there is still available for sale, but the lower tier looks to be pretty much sold out. I'd say anyone who did want to squeeze in a sneaky Megadeth set will be able to get a standing ticket damn cheap on the day.
I must be the only one looking forward to Disturbed more than Megadeth. The latter I've seen a number of times and aren't that great live (although maybe the hired guns will be great).
Disturbed always seem like a cracking live band, and they have a bunch of great songs.
Hopefully, their set isn't affected by any knobhead protestors.
Disturbed shouldn't be... disturbed?
I'm not down with the sickness.

I know someone at it - I asked and got a video looks rammed to me.
Megadeth set looks OK enough but could have sounded absolutely shite.
Hangar 18,Skin o' My Teeth,Dystopia,Sweating Bullets,Trust,Tipping Point,Tornado of Souls,Peace Sells,Symphony of Destruction,Holy Wars... The Punishment Due
As a huge megadeth fan I've grown to loathe the set, trust, hanger 18, symphony, sweating bullets, all need a good cull, I get the later 2 because of daves diminished vocals but like, wake up dead was a staple for decades and a classic, throw that back in
It's a great song, but also glad to see, in my darkest hour out of the sets these days.

There's all the people that were just going to see Megadeth and then leaving. Some amount of wankerism in the run up to this.
My brother and a mate of mine were at this just for Megadeth, they left after they finished, he said they met a few outside leaving too but not many.
No protestors outside either. And just one lad waving a Palestinian flag for 10 seconds at the start of Disturbed's set.

All the protestors must've been inside.

Did Draiman say anything about the whole thing? Why I ask:

I was watching a clip and he made basically the same speech except was more vague, just said left and right, didn't use the words Israel or Palestine. There was also none of the hand holding I don't think. Was a fairly standard Metallica family speech.

Write up in the Irish Times;
Quote from: Pain Medicine on October 23, 2025, 05:50:27 PMTwo words have followed Disturbed lead singer David Draiman since his visit to Israel last summer. The American Jew wrote "F**k Hamas" on artillery shells intended for use by Israeli forces in Gaza and shared the photos on social media.
The fallout has been extensive. Draiman was booed at the Black Sabbath farewell tour in Birmingham, while last week, a concert in Belgium was cancelled because the local mayor couldn't guarantee the band's safety.
Closer to home, Draiman got into an online spat with the fiercely pro-Palestinian band Kneecap and Irish-American actor John Cusack posted criticism of the musician on X.
Draiman's band, as well as their guests, Megadeth, have been on high alert for the entire European tour. A list of reviewers and photographers from media organisations had to be approved by both bands at least 48 hours in advance.
Other than that Mrs Lincoln, did you enjoy the play?
If this was a conventional review, Disturbed would merit at least four stars, possibly a fifth. The concert at Dublin's 3Arena on Wednesday evening was in two parts. The first was a 25th anniversary of their debut album The Sickness, a nu-metal tour de force from an era when teenage dirtbags still bought albums and played them from beginning to end.
The second half was a greatest hits parade culminating in their improbable greatest hit, their version of Simon & Garfunkel's The Sound of Silence played in the centre of the arena on a burning piano.
Disturbed have a huge sound for a basic four piece of vocal, guitar, bass and drums. Draiman is the centrepiece of it all, prowling, cajoling and exhorting the crowd, never relenting.
An online petition to have the concert cancelled garnered more than 10,000 signatories, but such petitions are so common now they are hardly worth the paper they are not written on.
Against that, a near full-house of music fans at the 3Arena were willing to pay for tickets and all the ancillary costs that go with attending concerts.
Given the online commentary in advance, it seemed likely Draiman would be subjected to derision within the 3Arena. It was quite the opposite in fact.
Given Palestine and Gaza's prominence in public discourse and online, it should be noted that a recent Ireland Thinks poll found 15 per cent of Irish people regard it in the top two of the most important issues they care about. That's a lot of people, but so too is the 85 per cent who are not as exercised about it.
That much was apparent at Disturbed. "I have been looking forward to this show," Draiman said before introducing the song The Light. "I have something that I need to remind everybody about. There are many people in this world who want nothing more than to pull us apart from each other. People fuelling their own biases and their own hatred trying to empower themselves by pitting us against each other."
Draiman elicited a loud cheer when he said the band didn't "give a s**t" about anybody's politics. A lot of people care about his, but not those present in the 3Arena on Wednesday night.
His last word as he left the stage was "peace".
Whoever did that write up is either incredibly naive and idiotic or else as baldly (!) disingenuous as Draiman himself if/when he said he doesn't "give a shit about anybody's politics."
QuoteA lot of people care about his, but not those present in the 3Arena on Wednesday night.
No shit sherlock :laugh: :laugh:
Edit: I've nothing against anyone who went, not on political grounds anyway! :laugh: But the cases of Draiman absolutely losing his shit over other people's politics are manifold... as soon as it comes to Israel anyway.
Disturbed are muck
