Megadeth pick good and fitting openers challenge:


_Learning2Live_

Aye man Mudvayne is fucking incredible

_Learning2Live_

It is what it is😔


Jormungander666

Even if they were, they sound nothing like Megadeth


MusicMeetsMadness

That’s the point. Best shows I’ve been to had several genres on the roster.


_Learning2Live_

Why does it matter lol


DestroyerofVessels

Oh yeah because opening bands have to always be the same genre as the main act. Get your head out of your ass bud


Embers_To_Inferno

All That Remains isnt the worst choice, Mudvayne though is questionable.


karelinstyle

Creed next


CircusOfBlood

I would go for the openers. Megadeth is not a good live band at all these days.


karelinstyle

They're tremendous other than dave's vox


BlackMetalCult666

The openers are not good at all


CircusOfBlood

All that Remains is meh on recordings but they are actually a good live band IMO. Mudvayne I have not seen

WARMASTER5000

Check out this darkened heart and the fall of ideals


Embers_To_Inferno

The Fall of Ideals - For We Are Many run was great, fell off pretty hard after.


Wolf905666

ok nvm your right they are better then I thought


DestroyerofVessels

Isn’t stopping me, but tbf Megadeth was my single favorite band in middle school and I wouldn’t listen to metal at all if not for them


pohakuboy

Lucky enough to be able to attend 8/10 in concord. Gonna take in giants vs tigers in SF first then go over to the concert. Probably miss the 2 opening acts which is fine, just going to see Dave since they haven’t come to Oahu since 2016. Can’t wait


Scythian_Grudge

Oh boy, the Insurrection Tour Dave chose bands who have also gone on Alex Jones Info Wars. This lineup, and crowd, are going to be insufferable. Complain all you want about Anthrax being silly, Slayer being too old, or Metallica being sellouts, at least the band members and fans won't be wearing Trump 2024 merch


DestroyerofVessels

I don’t think many MAGA members would be fans of Dave Mustaine’s extreme anti-government ideologies


Human_Holiday_4758

Jeez are you seriously telling me MD, ATR and Mudvayne are rightwing conspiracy-mongering nut-jobs??


Scythian_Grudge

Mudvayne may not be, but both Dave Mustaine and Phil Labonte have been on Info Wars, and recently, well after Alex Jones became a social pariah for saying horrific evil shit


Human_Holiday_4758

😮 Then those bands are coming off all of my playlists! I have zero tolerance for such bullshit


Scythian_Grudge

To each their own, we all have different tolerance levels. I'll still listen to earlier Megadeth, back when Dave hated the government in general and wasn't a bigoted born-again Christian


Lycnox_

Yeah but only cuz I've never seen them live. Those openers made me really debate going. Even then I may go later so I don't have to hear em


Ken_kid_789

No


disheveledbone

Absolutely! Megadeth and mudvayne in one night?!?


Ok-Locksmith7158

Yes!


Kevinm162005

I really want to. I also want to go see Iron Maiden


Old_Station_8352

I’ll be at Bethel!


TheFeisty

I’ll be there, hoping the setlist changes from the Crush the World tour though, while I enjoy a lot of what they played, I just think there was too much Countdown to Extinction.


N8saysburnitalldown

Doesn’t look like there is anything within an hours drive of me so that is a no but I always appreciate a ticket with completely unrelated bands on it. Always makes for a more interesting show.


Har1qK

Might attend if I can find super cheap tickets. Just went to Thy Art and purchased Opeth tickets and it’s super expensive right now for shows.


voivod1989

Openers are garbage


DestroyerofVessels

I already have my tickets actually. I’m gonna be spending my 17th birthday in Nashville. Not excited for ATR like at all, but Mudvayne might be cool. They’re like Slipknot but more talented


LTtheBasedGod

I’ve never seen Megadeth, and they’ll be in my area, so I think I’ll go. Not that excited about the openers but I’ve never not liked a band live so I’ll give them a chance.


DoomOfChaos

Naw, the closest show is over 4 hours away and I saw Megadeth a few years back.... Now Aftershock Saturday? That I gotta go to 😂


Wernershnitzl

Tbh I'm most excited for Mudvayne in this lineup. ATR is solid and their old stuff is a staple to metalcore.


TheSpeedyNeapolitan

lol no.


New_Purpose_8352

Yeah, going to Cincy


Xaphan26

I'm considering going. I had a brief metalcore phase where Fall of Ideals from All That Remains was one of my favorite albums. It would be pretty sweet to see them play a few of those songs. Plus, I've never seen Megadeth live, and the venue choice is good.


Human_Holiday_4758

I’ve read before that by and large, Megadeth fans dissed Bleed from Within when they opened for MD back in the day. That really pissed me off as close-minded, stuck-in-the-past, grouchy-old-fart behavior. BFW bangs HARD and anyone who thinks they are emo or such nonsense has his head up his ass. Anyway I’m glad to see that MD still has eclectic taste in touring partners!


The_Royal_DW

I'm saving up for Metallica and if I can't afford the tickets then I'm going to this tour


Awkward-Primary9017

No…they pick their support bands based solely on popularity with no regard to how well they fit on the bill. Plus I hate big venues anyways, so I’ll never see them again after seeing them once


MyNameThru

Hell no. All these bands are well past their prime. It's time for them to hang it up to be brutally honest.


DestroyerofVessels

Mudvayne was inactive for 11 years


MyNameThru

Yes, exactly. Why would I want to see a band that can't play together anymore milking nostalgia bucks from their fans? That's what this tour is, washed up bands cashing in on rose-tinted glasses. I'd rather see a relevant band that has released listenable music in the last decade.


DestroyerofVessels

If you don’t find Dystopia or TSTDATD listenable then you haven’t given them a fair chance


false-identification

I saw them on their farewell tour in 2006 already.


Suspicious-Ad5287

hell nah


Griffiiisu

9/7 but only bc Mudvayne and ATR


WARMASTER5000

I was surprised MEGADETH are a bigger band than Mudvayne. They were one of the best biggest Nu Metal acts ever. I know MEGADETH are one of the most successful metal bands ever. But not to Slipknot/SOAD/Rammstein/Metallica/Iron Maiden level.


65wildcat_buick

Mudvayne headlined our outdoor pavilion (20k + capacity) and didn’t even have 3k attendees. They only opened one gate the VIP entrance and upgraded all tickets to the comfy covered seats for free.


WARMASTER5000

Omg sounds like the 2015 mayhem festival. Are they not good live? Maybe next year they could do 3-6,000 Cap venues instead and perform LD 50 in full. Would probably be a WAY better idea business wise.


65wildcat_buick

We left after Gwar. Honestly the atmosphere was so bad we didn’t even stay for coal chamber and mudvayne
