Countdown to Download 2010 – Megadeth

Posted on June 4th, 2010 GuitarSavvy No comments

Shameless video number 2 to celebrate the countdown to Download 2010 is a cracking track by Megadeth. À Tout le Monde was featured on the Megadeth’s Youthanasia album all the way back in 1994/5. I saw Megadeth in Glasgow last year during the Priest Feast tour just after guitarist Chris Broderick joined the band and they were, for me, the highlight. When they played this song the reception was incredible. Judas Priest were pretty damned awesome as well of course.

Seems like just yesterday I was enviously reporting on the events of Download 2009 (from my pokey wee office in Glasgow). And it seems that the same will happen again this year. This is made worse with the news that AC/DC will headline Download 2010 (the 30th anniversary of Monsters of Rock festival), which takes place at Donington Park June 11-13 2010. Tickets will sell out fast because Angus and Malcolm Young, Brian Johnson, Cliff Williams and Phil Rudd (collectively known as AC/DC) will be joined by the likes of Them Crooked Vultures, Deftones, Megadeth, Motorhead, Stone Temple Pilots, Bullet For My Valentine and Wolfmother (many more bands to be confirmed).

Tickets go on sale this Friday(January 29th) from the Download Festival website and ticket sellers including TicketMaster.

Here’s a wee clip of Porcupine Tree playing their (to my mind at least) best song – Drown with Me:
