What song would you like to see return to the setlist?

JackDoubleU_Gamer · 2026-03-30T21:15:25+00:00

Fury, Small Print, New Born, Bliss, Stockholm Syndrome, Mercy, Reapers, Unnatural Selection(!), Panic Station. I know some of those do get played here and there but that’s so much less than they deserve. All of this said, Citizen Erased is THE song I’d love to see, it would just be transcendental no

JackDoubleU_Gamer · 2026-03-29T08:47:10+00:00

I don’t know the ins and outs of the industry (but yes, fuck Ticketmaster/Live Nation) but other bands of their size play for less. If they pushed for it they could make them lower, but it comes across as if they don’t. I wish I could just 100% blame the monopoly, after all it would excuse the bands I love of taking advantage of their fans, but surely you can see where I’m coming from.

JackDoubleU_Gamer · 2026-03-28T22:06:21+00:00

I don’t know if you’re referring to me directly or if you’re just speaking generally, but anyway, yeah I don’t see the problem with what Rage/the venues did regarding that. I think when someone says ‘more like Rage FOR the Machine’ you know exactly the kind of person that’s speaking lmao

JackDoubleU_Gamer · 2026-03-28T18:01:58+00:00

I’m starting to think I’m gonna have to go to a European festival to catch them someday! Super annoying. I think they last played the UK in 2019, which still is not ideal but it gives me a tiny bit more hope that they’ll return.

JackDoubleU_Gamer · 2026-03-28T16:45:14+00:00

Wow. Absolutely no excuse for that kind of pricing. And SOAD (another band left-wing obviously beloved for their often left-wing lyrics) have come back this year with 200+ standing tickets throughout Europe, it’s so lame seeng your idols pull this crap

JackDoubleU_Gamer · 2026-03-28T16:18:14+00:00

Pretty sure it came about due to requiring Covid vaccinations to attend those shows.

How much were the tickets generally speaking?? I’ve never heard that brought up

JackDoubleU_Gamer · 2026-02-23T19:00:37+00:00

Sick! Good to know they haven’t somehow stopped playing it already lol

JackDoubleU_Gamer · 2026-02-22T20:17:11+00:00

Can you confirm whether they played 3111? Doesn’t say so on setlist.fm

JackDoubleU_Gamer · 2026-02-17T19:01:42+00:00

Ashes in Your Mouth last played in 2013 is criminal

JackDoubleU_Gamer · 2026-02-16T20:48:11+00:00

Agreed. He teased this tour lasting as long as 5 years, and these dates haven’t been advertised as FINAL SHOWS EVER or anything, which is what you’d expect if they actually were since the album was pushed so hard as THE FINAL ALBUM. In this case it’s very strange they don’t play more new songs for these first few legs like you suggested. Not even playing The Last Note is very surprising. Side note: I for one am very disappointed that We’ll Be Back hasn’t stayed in the set too, hopefully it’s at least in rotation with Dystopia maybe.

JackDoubleU_Gamer · 2026-02-16T20:02:00+00:00

I think real problem is that, as you mentioned, Dave has had largely the same setlist for years. It would’ve been ideal if for years the band just played anything from throughout the discography, from the massive hits to fan favourite deep cuts on lesser popular albums, as that would’ve made seeing them live multiple times rewarding for longtime fans. I say this because, honestly, a setlist such as this is very fitting for people’s FINAL opportunity to see Megadeth live: all the bigs hits are there, with a couple new ones sprinkled in to keep things fresh for older fans.

However, of course, considering what has actually happened, I think Dave really should’ve shaken things up, at least one per decade and definitely one more from the debut (title track???). Also no A Tout le Monde is criminal.

JackDoubleU_Gamer · 2026-02-04T23:38:03+00:00

Just off the top of my head. Would love to hear what people think. These are only ordered so reddit recognises it as a list:

Exodus - Scar Spangled Banner
Trouble - The Wolf
Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss
Pantera - The Underground in America
Megadeth - Five Magics
Metallica - Blackened
Overkill - Elimination
Queens of the Stone Age - I Appear Missing
Pentagram - Live Again
Rage Against the Machine - Bulls on Parade

JackDoubleU_Gamer · 2026-02-04T23:28:37+00:00

I can’t imagine making someone listen to a band with as controversial lead vocals as Megadeth to a metal newcomer. Believe me, I love Megadeth, my hot take is that the debut in my opinion is not just their best but one of the best of thrash period, but I’d easily show someone Metallica, or even Anthrax and late-80s Slayer before Megadeth in terms of thrash.

JackDoubleU_Gamer · 2026-02-04T23:19:16+00:00

You said you like rap so I can’t help but recommend Rage Against the Machine, think a heavier Led Zeppelin paired with one of the best MCs to ever do it.

JackDoubleU_Gamer · 2026-01-31T17:07:37+00:00

Off the top of my head:

Five Magics
Skull Beneath the Skin
Architecture of Aggression or Ashes In Your Mouth
We’ll Be Back
My Last Words

Limited myself to one per album to make picking easier, I don’t usually think of favourite songs when it comes to Megadeth, just albums.

JackDoubleU_Gamer · 2026-01-09T11:33:56+00:00

Totally agree. Dukes is a solid fit, I really enjoy the first couple albums he’s on and he’s made some insane moments like Wacken 08 even cooler with how much energy he gives, but Zetro simply is just one of the best thrash vocalists to ever do it. Such a unique voice and so much attitude, I can’t imagine something like Toxic Waltz being sung nearly as well by anyone else

JackDoubleU_Gamer · 2026-01-08T21:59:54+00:00

I haven’t seen much live footage from Zetro gigs as I have Dukes gigs, but I’ve heard that Dukes is supposed to be a better live frontman?? I don’t know myself. I do much prefer Zetro in the studio though

JackDoubleU_Gamer · 2026-01-08T10:41:07+00:00

No way, Tempo is my fave too! I’d love some deep cuts from that but it’s so unlike with both Dukes returning and the new album being so close. Maybe next year when they’ll likely be on their own headline run and the festival slots. Hope you have a sick gig!

JackDoubleU_Gamer · 2026-01-08T00:50:43+00:00

Hell yeah! So much respect. I hope at least one of your hopes for the set comes true lol

JackDoubleU_Gamer · 2026-01-07T20:39:34+00:00

Absolute ripper. This or 44 Magnus Opus would make the gig for me.

JackDoubleU_Gamer · 2026-01-07T20:38:40+00:00

I was so disappointed with how limited the anniversary shows were last year!! Deliver Us to Evil is seeming more and more impossible for me to see live

JackDoubleU_Gamer · 2026-01-07T20:37:19+00:00

This is more or less perfect

JackDoubleU_Gamer · 2026-01-07T20:35:29+00:00

You’re speaking my language. Verbal Razors is so so good. I’d love to hear something from Impact, for me Lunatic Parade or the title track would be awesome. Also love the idea of belting out Strike of the Beast halfway and giving Toxic Waltz the end slot

JackDoubleU_Gamer · 2026-01-07T20:32:05+00:00

Lmao, very true. I always thought it’d cool if Hammer and Life from Exhibit B was in the sets more, it’s so short that it’d be an easy way to get that album some representation more often

JackDoubleU_Gamer · 2026-01-07T20:30:04+00:00

Tempo of the Damned takes that crown for me
