MEGADETH To Play Another Show Tonight In Baltimore
March 17, 2010, 14 years ago
MEGADETH is going to play a free show tonight (Wednesday, March 17th) for last night's ticket buyers. Doors will be at 7 PM, the show will be at 8 PM Ticketholders from last night's show can pick up tickets for tonight at Will Call by presenting valid ID. Check the Rams Head Live! website for details.
Dave Mustaine has issued the following update:
"Droogies!Last night was a difficult night for me, Megs, and for our sold-out audience of Megadeth fans in the great city of Baltimore.
You see, we were plagued with equipment failures, the ensuing delays getting on-stage (Axl Rose, I am NOT), and the lack of intelligence of the fan who was convinced that throwing his beverage on the console, thus ending our second attempt at taking the stage last night, was an intelligent thing to do.
In other words, it was the end of the evening for me and for Baltimore.
Alas, Megaman to the rescue!
Late last night I was informed of the availability of the venue the following evening, meaning tonight, and I agreed to stay another night here in Baltimore and to try to play this venue one more time.
If you have a ticket from last night, please check here to see how to proceed tonight.
Thank you for your understanding, and I want to also thank the building, its staff, the security, the promoter and his staff, and most importantly... YOU. I will see you tonight!"
As previously reported, 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."
