I was on the lighting crew on tour with them for the European leg of their tour with Megadeth back then.
Lovely lads, seemed genuinely surprised that they were actually making money!
At the end of the tour they gave all the unsold tshirts to the crew. I ended up with half a dozen of the ones in the linky which I gave away to mates who actually liked their music. Should have kept them!
That said Megadeth's Dave Mustaine was clearly a troubled soul, surprised (pleasantly I might add) he is still alive.
Anyway that was my 2nd and last tour as a crew member. Touring sucks unless you are the artist, sound engineer or may be rigger.
Became a welder instead building stage sets.
Made stage sets for Metallica on 3 occasions and they were the polar opposite: What a bunch of A holes!
