Title: Disturbed + Megadeth 22nd October 3Arena
Post by: Pagan Saviour on February 24, 2025, 10:08:27 AM
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.

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.

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?

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.

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 them.


And lads, leave the fucking politics out of 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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

By going they're still giving Disturbed their money.  🤣
Yeah that's not doing anything. It's about tickets sold really so once people have a ticket it won't matter if they watch Disturbed or not!

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.

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....
