Megadeth Release Behind-The-Scenes Video From Final Show of 2020 European Tour
Megadeth has had so many members over the years that it doesn’t feel quite right to say “Most of us will never know what it’s like to be backstage with Megadeth before a show.” Like, roughly, gee, I dunno, 15-20% of us will know what it’s like to be backstage with Megadeth before a show. I guess that still isn’t “most” of us, but it’s more of us than will ever know what it’s like to be backstage with Black Sabbath or Metallica or Slayer before a show.
ANYWAY, for the 80-85% of us who will never be in Megadeth, there is now a video, from guitarist Kiko Loureiro, chronicling the band’s time backstage before the final show of their 2020 European tour with Five Finger Death Punch and Bad Wolves. That gig took place in Sofia, Bulgaria on February 22.
Watch the video at the bottom of this post. The band’s massive co-headline tour with Lamb of God, featuring support from Trivium and In Flames, is still currently scheduled to begin in June, although who knows whether or not that will happen. Assuming it does, these will be the dates:
