MEGADETH: Photos From 'A Tout Le Monde (Set Me Free)' Video Shoot Available

March 9, 2007

MEGADETH shot a video for the new version of the song "A Tout Le Monde", now retitled "A Tout Le Monde (Set Me Free)", at a downtown Los Angeles studio on Thursday, March 8. Check out pictures from the shoot at Wire Image, Film Magic, Getty Images.

"A Tout Le Monde", which originally appeared on the 1994 CD "Youthanasia", has created controversy 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 last September. 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 from Italian alt-metal act LACUNA COIL. "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)" will appear on MEGADETH's new album, "United Abominations", due on May 15 via Roadrunner Records. The track listing for the effort is as follows:

01. Sleepwalker
02. Washington Is Next!
