Megadeth played their first live show in 15 months, performing as an opening act for Five Finger Death Punch. The thrash metal legends delivered a set that comprised out of 11 songs and encore, including some of the fan favorites like” A Tout Le Monde,” “Symphony of Destruction,” and “Holy Wars… The Punishment Due.”

Check out some of the fan-made footage from the show below.

Megadeth will continue supporting Five Finger Death Punch through January and February on shows across Europe. The tour is scheduled to wrap up on February 20th in Budapest, Hungary.

Dave Mustaine was diagnosed with throat cancer back in July, after which he decided to take a break from music. Luckily, the vocalist/guitarist successfully underwent treatment and is reportedly on the road to making a full recovery.

Before the diagnosis, Megadeth was in the studio, working on the follow-up to 2016’s Dystopia.

According to Mustaine, the items that will be put on sale are from different periods of his careers and include even some from the early period of Megadeth.

“When you’ve been playing and touring for as long as I have, you tend to amass quite a collection of gear. They’re great instruments, and they represent more than 40 years of playing, but I’ve got more than I could possibly use myself,” said Mustaine.

The 58-year-old guitarist and vocalist added that by selling his equipment, he wants to give back to the fans.

“I owe so much to my fans. If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t even have all this gear. I’d rather give it back to them than let it sit and collect dust,” he explained.

Some of the more notable items that will be available on sale include Dean Dave Mustaine Signature Holy Grail V from 1987, a Signature Zero Korina, Signature Stealth VMNT, and 7-piece Peace Sells drum kit.

The Official Dave Mustaine Reverb Shop is set to launch on November 4th.

Mustaine, who is currently recovering from throat cancer, has released a short video on the band’s official YouTube page where he discusses the art in “Death by Design”, and specifically the story accompanying the song “The Conjuring”.

The song, recorded on 1986’s Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying? is a fan favorite, but Mustaine had at one time considered it to be “too evil” to play live. In fact, he only went back to playing it on stage last year, after almost 17 years of not conjuring it up!

“The way that the art has translated in ‘The Conjuring’, it’s probably some of the best art of the entire project,” says Mustaine. “You look at those images and they’re so mind-blowing you just can’t help but look and get interested. It makes you engrossed and you do more and more and that’s how it is,” he summarized.

“I wish I could relive the years I lost on the road. Also, those long goodbyes,” he tweeted on his personal account on Thursday. The tweet also included a mid-’90s photograph of himself holding his son Justis on the background of what appears to be the Megadeth tour bus.

Curiously, this picture was probably taken during the 94-95 tour in support of Youthanasia, an album which contained the track “The Killing Road”. According to its lyrics, Mustaine was already well aware of how costly extended touring could get 25 years ago.

This behavior’s quite insane, but we do it for the fame, sings Mustaine just before breaking into the chorus: I lost my mind, I lost all my money, I lost my life to the Killing Road. He then concludes with the sentiment: There’s nothing special about the road, It’s just another haul, It’s just too damn long that’s all.

While Megadeth’s planned tour this year has been canceled due to Dave’s illness, the band is still expected to be involved in some capacity with their own brainchild, Megacruise, which will take place October 13-19.
