MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine reportedly became irritated when JUDAS PRIEST‘s road crew began soundchecking while his band was performing at Spain’s Barcelona Rock Fest this past weekend.
The format at Barcelona Rock Fest is meant to eliminate the classic festival dilemma of having to choose between two bands that are playing at the same time, enabling artists to play almost continuously one after the other throughout the day. While one band is playing on one stage, the crew prepares the other stage for the next act.
After MEGADETH played the second song of their set, “Angry Again,” Mustaine stopped the show in protest of the crew on the other main stage which was getting ready for PRIEST‘s performance later in the night.
“We’ll wait till he’s done checking his guitar over there,” Dave addressed the crowd.
After a long pause during which he apparently flipped the bird at the crew member in question, Mustaine added: “The last night of the tour — we went all the way to the last f*cking night, and then some p*ssy over on the stage next to us has to start playing while we’re playing. How f*cking pathetic, amateur piece of sh*t you are.”
