The pioneering founders of thrash metal FINALLY made their first-ever appearance in Singapore on Friday 261007 at Fort Canning Park, after approximately 20 years of existence, and boy did they rip! They did their reputation no harm and proved why they're still around after so many years after a headbanging show that pleased the crowd, and justified my belief that technically and musically they're streets ahead of arch-rivals METALLICA... it's worth taking an off-day and paying 120 bucks to get to watch Dave Mustaine & Gang... I thought that since the tour is called the United Abominations Tour of Duty in support of their latest effort, that they would be playing all-new songs...but my hunch was that since it's their first time in Singapore, surely they would play some of the old favourites at least, and I was proven right, with a setlist that included 'A Tout Le Monde', 'Hangar 18', 'Holy Wars...The Punishment Due', 'In My Darkest Hour', 'Mechanix', 'She-Wolf (Dave claimed its a bonus track for Singapore which those in Thailand and Indonesia didn't get!)', 'Skin O' My Teeth', 'Symphony of Destruction'(extended version!), 'Tornado of Souls', 'Trust'... and they even did a special medley for 'Holy Wars' and 'Mechanix', starting the song with 'Holy Wars', only to interrupt it mid-way to play the entire 'Mechanix' track, before seamlessly flowing through the remainder of 'Holy Wars'... so all together now, 1...2...3...
