As a lifelong Megadeth fan this was a show I knew I would remember for life especially since they announced their retirement last month!  The Hydro in Glasgow was the place to be on this electric Tuesday night.  The atmosphere was strange due to the controversy by the headline band ‘Disturbed’ and due to this a lot of fans didn’t attend the gig and tickets were going mega cheap (£7) even though I paid 80 for mine!!!  I have no regrets though as the playlist was one dreams are made of!

They started with ‘Skin o my Teeth’ which was speed metal at it’s best followed by a not so fave song of mine ‘Dread' and 'The Fugitive’ and another classic ‘Hanger 18’ which the crowd went wild for!  They then played ‘She-Wolf” followed by a crowd pleaser ‘Sweating Bullets’ which again had the crowd eating out of the palm of their hands.  Their new single ‘Tipping Point’ went down well as it stuck with their core fans of thrash. 

Then another favourite of mine from the album Rust in Peace ‘Tornado of Souls’ just before ‘Peace Sells’ with which the whole audience joined in! 

​

All in all Megadeth didn't disappoint and an added crowd pleaser was an appearance by their mascot Vic Rattlehead who joined the band on stage!  My younger sister was lucky enough to catch Dave Mustaines plectrum which was the perfect end to a perfect hour! 

 

Megadeth were the support band to the headliner 'Disturbed'  but such was Megadeth's popularity there was a mass exodus of fans after they had finished their set, and I didn't stay either as I wasn't interested in seeing the main band who are greatly inferior to their exalted support act!
