The Metal World

Obviously, Indian metal fans no longer complain about being denied quality gigs. The biggest names in the metal world - Metallica, Iron Maiden , Lamb of God, Sepultura and others- have delighted with rage-inducing shows here in recent years. It is now time to extend a furious welcome to thrash metal pioneers, Megadeth, who will headline the Bacardi NH7 Weekender at Noida today. Megadeth's second visit to India holds added significance after the cancelled Metallica gig at Gurgaon last year. Dave Mustaine , maverick frontman of Megadeth , originally started as a guitarist with Metallica in 1981 only to be famously thrown out in 1983 when his substance abuse problems spiralled out of control. '' It is great to be back in India once again'', Delhi has actually been one of the safer places in the country for a concert.
