Last night, September 6, marked the first performance of thrash metal legends MEGADETH with their new touring guitarist, Teemu Mäntysaari.
Mäntysaari stepped in for regular guitarist Kiko Loureiro for the band’s performance in Albuquerque as part of their “Crush The World” tour. Loureiro is currently taking a break to spend time with his children in Finland.
Despite the short preparation time, Mäntysaari delivered an impressive performance, playing flawlessly on songs such as “Hangar 18,” “À Tout le Monde,” “Tornado of Souls,” and “Symphony of Destruction.”
Setlist for the show was as follows:
- Hangar 18
- Dread and the Fugitive Mind
- Wake Up Dead
- In My Darkest Hour
- Sweating Bullets
- Angry Again
- We’ll Be Back
- The Conjuring
- Dystopia
- A tout le monde
- Trust
- Tornado of Souls
- Symphony of Destruction
