MEGADETH Forced To End Baltimore Show After 3 Songs; Mustaine Explains
March 17, 2010, 14 years ago
MEGADETH was forced to leave the stage three songs into it's headlining set last night (Tuesday, March 16th) at Rams Head Live in Baltimore, MD after problems with the venue P.A. prevented the band from continuing its performance.
Dave Mustaine left an audioblog at TheLIVELine late last night decribing the circumstances that led the band to cut its set short.
"I'm calling right now from Baltimore. It's approximately 10 minutes to midnight, and unfortunately, our show turned into an absolute disaster tonight.We had problems with the P.A. from the beginning of the night.
I went out on stage and I had said that the P.A. was a bit inferior to what we were used to using , and after the P.A. completely took a shit, we went into the dressing room, waited another half hour to 45 minutes, used the house P.A. and went back out and started playing again. And some delirious asshole decided that it was a good idea to throw their beverage over the [mixing] console, thus ending the concert.
So, to the good people of Baltimore, I'm sorry for us having to end your night early tonight, but I can tell you honestly right now that we will be back. It's not like we have better things to do tonight than perform for you. We love you, and we're very sorry about this situation. And hopefully next time we'll be able to play in like a gas station with a couple of generators and a P.A. that'll work. ['Cause] that piece of shit we played in tonight didnt."
