Rock in India 2008 - Megadeth (Gigantic Tour 2008) & Machine Head

Rock in India concert was definitely a huge success. There were so many Indian and International bands performing on a single day. 7 Indian and 2 international acts on one day was mind blowing...it was like an overdose of rock !!

The day started with the Indian bands performing around 2.15pm. There were two stages and the crowd was divided as to which stage to be at. half of the crowd moved to the Indian stage when the bands started playing the rest remained at the international stage

keeping their place for the main acts. There was only 1 cover of U2 played, the rest of the songs were OCs by the Indian bands.They performed till around 7.10pm.

Machine Head name on stage after this and with no further ado started performing. The entire crowd went wild and the first 20 rows there was no place to headbang, jump, start a mosh pit, etc. ppl were pushing, shoving, kicking, etc to get close to the stage. The middle of the crowd was like a tornado with ppl moving to the left, right and center like a

whirlpool. there were times when a section of the crowd lost balance and fell on the ground. but it was worth it. Robb Flynn was amazed that the crowd kept singing along with him. He raised a toast to the crowd several times and threw the booze into the crowd.At the end of every song the crowd said “Machine Fuckin Head” which again took them by surprise. I was fortunate to get 2 glasses on my face & head. He

was drinking Old Monk :O). Machine Head showed good showmanship on stage and kept the atmosphere electric. they finished their set around 8.15pm. then there was a 20 Min's delay to change the drum kit and the stage monitors.

Come the main act MEGADETH. The entrance made by Dave was simply superb. He started off with sleepwalker and with each riff being played, Chris walked on stage

followed by James and then Shawn. There was not much of crowd interaction coz of time delay but they let their music do most of the talking. Every1 in the crowd went completely berserk when they started playing and the entire crowd kept headbanging as one. Dave was astounded that for most of the songs the crowd kept backing him on vocals esp for 'a toute le monde'. They played 'Take No Prisoners', 'Skin O' My Teeth',

'Washington Is Next', 'In My Darkest Hour', 'Tornado Of Souls', 'Symphony Of Destruction', 'Trust', 'Peace Sells' & 'Holy Wars' plus a couple more. He promised that they would be back again. Dave played most of the solos . Chris guitar volume seemed to be low dunno if the sound guy made mess of the settings and pushed Dave's guitar on full volume.

This was one hell of a concert and there should definitely be more...
