Megadeth: Visit to Croatia not as smooth as planned

It has been reported that Megadeth’s appearance at MetalFest in Croatia on Tuesday 5th June was frought with problems.

After Dark Tranquility pulled out of the festival and W.A.S.P. refused to play (supposedly following a disagreement with Megadeth, though this has not been confirmed), Dave Mustaine and company met with a rather hostile audience. It is said that members of the crowd repeatedly threw stuff on stage during Megadeth’s performance, while others reacted in a more passive hostile manner by raising middle fingers.

Fan-filmed footage of the entire set can be viewed below. While the rough-around-the-edges footage doesn’t provide the best representation of the legendary thrash band’s 45 minute set, the clips provide a reasonable record of “fan” stupidity.
