Megadeth - Rust in Peace 20th Anniversary Tour

Anyone going to go to this? It will be Megadeth playing the entire Rust in Peace album, plus some more stuff. With them will be Testament, apparently to play the entire Legacy album. Also playing is Exodus.

I got my tickets for the Tucson show.

Atlanta is far...................but it's a Sunday...............maybeeeee....

Dave Mustaine has issued the following update on the band's "Rust In Peace" 20th Anniversary Tour:
"Rehearsals are all done and we are ready for pre-production next week, and then we will be heading out to start the tour.
Please send your prayers, best wishes, and positive thoughts our way, and if we are playing in your city or town I sure hope to see you. A big thank you goes out to all of the cities that are sold-out already!
Just so you know, we are playing 10 songs from over our 25-plus-year careers, as well as all nine songs off of 'Rust In Peace.'
We are playing:
* Set The World Afire
* Wake Up Dead
* In My Darkest Hour
* Sweating Bullets
* Skin O' My Teeth
* Head Crusher
* A Tout Le Monde
* Symphony Of Destruction
* Trust
* Peace Sells, But Who's Buying?
And all of 'Rust In Peace.'
One great thing is that we all know so many, many songs, and that this is just the starting point.
Remember, David Ellefson knows everything of Megadeth's career, excluding a few new tracks, Shawn [Drover, drums] knows them all, and Chris [Broderick, guitar] is learning them as fast as he can. All in all, I think that we have approximately 40 songs we can do on this next month's tour. We will return to the 'Endgame Tour' after that, and may play any of the 'Rust In Peace' tracks over the coming years. We already play several songs off of 'Rust In Peace' — 'Holy Wars', 'Take No Prisoners', 'Tornado Of Souls', and 'Hangar 18.' It will be fun to have some new gems added to our set list, and also the possibility of us revisiting songs that I mentioned were added to our playlist for potential songs to perform from 'Killing Is My Business' or 'Peace Sells, But Who's Buying?'

Should be a great tour. Glad they are still doing "Set the World Afire".

Rust in Peace is one of my all time favorite albums. It's however impossible for me to attend the show. Too far away.

I'll be at the ATL gig! Can't wait!

I don't think they are playing close enough for me to go...

A pen pal of mine is attending one of the shows.

I'll be at the Houston show on March 25th.

Listening through Rust in Peace to get ready for the show. I never latched on to this album like I did the first two. Peace Sells is my all time favorite, followed by Killing. Some good songs on RiP, but I don't see why so many people like it better than Peace Sells.

ATL sounds good.

Agreed. I like the first three a lot more than RiP.

RiP had Marty's soloing, which was really good, but aside from that the songs aren't as good.

That show is gonna rock!

They should of did a reunion tour for the Peace Sells album instead... but this will do.

Hopefully in a couple years they'll play the entire CTS album live!

I was all set to go and found out too late the show is sold out

This is why you buy your tix the day they go onsale, if not sooner. Let this be a lesson to you, young man!

Anyone heard what order the bands are playing in, or what Exodus is playing?

This show is coming to Austin, but it's right after SXSW so I'll have to wait and see how broke I am by that point. Part of me really wants to see this, part of me realizes that I've experienced all this before...I guess I'll wait and see whether nostalgia plays enough of a part.

exodus is first; i think this is the spokane setlist:


The Last Act Of Defiance
Fabulous Disaster
A Lesson In Violence
And Then There Where None
Brain Dead
Pirahna
Toxic Waltz

I just spun Rust in Peace for the first time (i just bought it yesterday) and OMG I can see why alot of people love this album, It was an insta-like for me (Youthanasia and System Has Failed, and United Abominations) were instant likes for me too but Rust In Peace Whoa Momma!!!!

Now that Ive heard RIP in its entireity I am wishing I could see this show

Isn't this tour already over?
Order of appearance onstage:
1.Exodus
2.Testament
3.Megadeth

I think Megadeth should've opened.

Dunno but since i just got the album I had to post its greatness somewhere

Hehe, the originals are better than the remasters but still a good choice, hehe.
