Kings of Thrash - Dublin Belfast Limerick

You are 100% Correct - Mike Got Spiked supporting Anthrax. Fucking dreadful mismatch. MGS were the equivalent of listening to morning time radio banter, "It's such an honour to support Anthrax" when you know none of them had heard of them until that afternoon when they got the call to do the gig

[Megalodon]

Tour started naturally they are not actually playing the first 3 albums in full as seemingly advertised...lazy bazzas 

Looks like they do SFSG, just 1 from the first album and about half Peace Sells with a handful drawn from elsewhere including a Maiden cover.

...I'm out anyway but was never really in.

I wasn't at the Anthrax show but I had the misfortune of playing on the same line up as these bell ends. I remember them being absolute cunts when approached with friendly banter pre gig and then having a few of them come up to after we played and one of them saying "we would have been nice to you if we had known your band was this good!" Up there with the most spasticated statements I've heard from local bands, or any bands for that matter, and that's saying something. And we weren't that good either, the lads just hadn't experienced anything outside of their gigsmart/ Dublin nu metal bubble.

     That beggars belief - yes we were being complete assholes on purpose. Fuck right off.

Yep, had an identical experience with them. Didn't want to talk to us until there was an issue with the bassists equipment.

Haha what a bunch of cunts!, notions!

Guaranteed half of them are in wedding bands and the other half are up in Ballyfermot cranking out hipster bands for Universal to sign nowadays.

One of them definitely in the tribute circuit think one of the Grunge tributes.

Setlist is looking sweet, better than the last show here, i think I'll go again - worth it to hear those early hits. If only they would tour with Chris Poland - it's a shame he's only done a few US shows with them.

Limerick was fun last night - not a huge crowd (upstairs closed off) but downstairs reasonably full.  Did see either support act, but Ellefson and co were great. They played the full SFSGSW album - great to hear some of the deeper cuts from it like Liar, 502 etc.  Pity Young's guitar was a bit low/muffled but he played great - even did a damn fine job playing Marty's Tornado of Souls solo. Black Friday was great to hear, and i think only Rattlehead off the 1st album, but still - overall it was much better than I thought it might have been. A buddy of mine was there - he's not a megadeth fan -  he thought it was fantastic... seems Megadeth music is much easier to enjoy when Mustaine is not there   Highly recommended!

Gig was great.
The first band were very good; NY 80s glam.
The next band had a few nice moments, but were like a bad Soundgarden in parts.
KOT were great! Really enjoyed it. Liar & 502, Mary Jane, great to hear; Into The Lungs Of Hell\Set The World Afire was brilliant.
