MEGADETH Fan Club Member Reports On 'Unofficial' Live Video Shoot For 'A Tout Le Monde'

November 21, 2007

MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine recently invited members of the group's official fan club, MegaFanClub, to film the two Gigantour shows (November 15-16) in Sydney, Australia — including "A Tout Le Monde" duet with Cristina Scabbia of LACUNA COIL — for an "unofficial" live clip. A written account of one fan's experience can be found on the band's official web site.

Fan-filmed video footage of MEGADETH performing the song "A Tout Le Monde" at Luna Park Big Top in Sydney, Australia on November 15, 2007 with a special guest appearance by Cristina Scabbia is available for viewing below.

"A Tout Le Monde", which originally appeared on the 1994 CD "Youthanasia", created controversy in September 2006 because the song was cited in an online post by Dawson College killer Kimveer Gill as one of his favorites before his Montreal shooting spree. MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine contends that he wanted to give the song a second shot at success, as the original video for it had been banned by MTV, and most radio stations followed suit. The track ended up featuring Cristina Scabbia after "the first singer didn't work out," Mustaine told Straight.com. "The second one didn't work, and the third one was Lisa Marie Presley. She was on the way to the airport, and we had to call and say, 'Sorry, we changed our minds.' I would have loved to have heard what Lisa Marie Presley would have done, but because of the demographics of the LACUNA COIL fan base, and Cristina's reign in the heavy-metal business, it was the right thing to do."

"A Tout Le Monde (Set Me Free)" appeared on MEGADETH's new album, "United Abominations", which came out on May 15 via Roadrunner Records.
