MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson has issued the following update from South America:
"Another sold out show in Santiago, Chile last night to a crowd of 14,000 people at the MoviStar Arena. It was smokey inside and the mile-high altitude made for some thin air but you'd never know it by the enthusiasm of the audience. I'd say no less than 10 national flags were thrown to us onstage and Dave and Chris kept hanging them on the amplifier backdrop all night, which made for a colorful and well decorated stage of Chilean national spirit.Now, Argentina claimed 'Symphony Of Destruction' as their own on our first visit there in 1994 (Aguente Megadeth). But, now their neighbors in Chile seem to be laying claim to 'A Tout Le Monde'..."
