fishmonkey: when did you see megadeth?
because from videos i've seen, they were hot shit live from 1983 to roughly 1997; then they started to lose their energy (and bandmates)
i remember the worst opening bands at a great show. last december i went to see dillinger escape plan and they had this emoscreamo festival of opening bands, like 20 bands playing for 20 minutes a piece, each band shittier than the one before. then they brought a nu metal band from los angeles and they go "you sure know us!!! we were on mtv on the battle for ozzfest show!!!"...and after them some dumb emo band from canada i can't remember their name, but they have static on their name and it's a three words name (kinda like my chemical romance). all the kids were going crazy but they played the blandest music this side of bon jovi. AND THEY PLAYED A FULL SET, like an hour or something. halfway thru it, me and a friend went smack down in the middle of the "pit" (because it was the lamest moshpit i've ever seen), got close to the stage and when the singer dude sang in our direction, we gave them the finger and didn't put our hands down until the song was over. then we tried to throw coins onstage
but then, dillinger got onstage and DESTROYED EVERYTHING. one of the best bands i've seen live
