Aerosmith took out a variety of bands on their Get a Grip tour including Mighty Mighty Bosstones, 4 non blondes, soul asylum, collective soul and therapy?. One of the strangest openers was Megadeth given the band’s different style of music. According to the book Rust in Peace: The Inside Story of the Megadeth Masterpiece Mustaine’ struggled with addiction and the only reason the band was on tour with Aerosmith is because the band’s handlers thought in order for mustaine to stay sober he should only be on sober tours. Because of Mustaine’s struggles with addiction the band missed out on some big opportunities including opening for Pantera the same year.
Bassist David Ellefson wrote in is autobiography My Life with Deth: Discovering Meaning in a Life of Rock & Roll things seemed to get off to a bit of a rocky start. Two shows into the tour Mustaine was unhappy with production issues. According to ellefson the band wasn’t getting a soundcheck or sufficient space on stage, meaning the stage had no special backdrop or feeling of being a megadeth show. Ellefson and Mustaine felt that they had already paid their dues and they weren’t some unknown band Aerosmith would typically take on the road. Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler talked to Ellefson and Mustaine directly to smooth things over. It would turn out that Tyler who had gone through his own addictions a decade prior had offered his help to Ellefson at one point prior to the tour who wasalso sturggling with addiction. Remembering that important moment in his life bassist thanked the singer for his help. Tyler was now offering Mustaine any help he needed to stay clean. Things seemed to turnr around at that point or so Megadeht thought. Mustaine would tell the houston chronicle that assurances made to the band about their sound check, playing time, signage, and stage space fell short of what he was promised. Mustaine’s frustrations only grew from there. The interviewer who was at a show in Houston where Megadeth opened for Aerosmith remembered the frontman’s combative and angry attitude in the comments he made to the audience.
7 dates into the tour the band was apparently fired by aoersmith.
Megadeth’s label Capitol Records issued a statement at the time claiming the band quit the tour over ''artistic restrictions” Aerosmith didn’t see it that way as Guitarist Joe Perrry would tell Entertainment Weekly and hint that the band were wimps claiming
”With Megadeth we thought we had a hard-rockin’ animal…that would lubricate the first 10 rows and get the audience ready for us.
Entertainment Weekly supposedly spoke to a person who worked with Aerosmith who claimed it was Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine who was the real reason they were dropped from the tour claiming Mustaine, was a giant pain in the butt saying”He would piss and moan and whine,” ”What he was really upset about was they (Aerosmith) weren’t hanging out with him.”.
Mustaine claimed for his part they walked away from teh tour saying “it’s hard to dunk on someone when they’re walking away.”
There were aparently several moments on tour that created bad blood with Aerosmith. According to spin magazine Mustaine allegedly blew his nose into an aerosmith t-shirt during the tour, something Mustaine didn’t fully deny, but maintained it wasn’t an Aerosmith shirt. Another sore point was a radio interview Mustaine’s gave in which.
He said “Yeah, we think we oughta be headlining, but we don't mind because everyone knows this is Aerosmith's last hurrah." Mustaine would tell Spin Magzine that by the time he made those comments on radio they already wanted off the tour. Steven Tyler replied, in the press saying"Dave, we'd like to help you out. Which way did you come in? Ouch
Ellefson would reveal in his book how the band learned about how they were fired. The band was in lubbock, texas ahead of a scheduled show and went to a local mexican restaurant where the waitress who waiting on their table informed them that she had heard that jackyl was opening for Aerosmith that night, not Megadeth. Ellefson felt deflated given that they had also lost the opportunity to tour with Pantera and White Zombie , and had to cancel Japan not once but twice.Ellefson would also claim in his book that it would soon spell the beginning of the end for guitarist Marty Freidman.
Mustaine reflected back on where the anger came from during an inteview with the houston press revealing

Throw your suggestions below! BTW some stories i read said Megadeth was fired after only 3 dates, while other's said 6 or 7.
The story of Jason Becker. Amazing neoclassical metal guitarist. Records two albums with Marty Friedman. Then releases a solo album. Then is hired as David Lee Roth’s guitarist and records an album for them. But he gets diagnosed with ALS during the recording and can’t tour. Now in 2020, he’s completely immobile, but he STILL continues to make music

You should do one on Ben Kweller's first band Radish which was supposed to be the 'next Silverchair' or big 15 year old band back in '97. It's a pretty interesting story...Nirvana's former manager Danny Goldberg actually signed them and before that there was a bidding war on Radish with Madonna courting them for her Maverick label. They even did played a party at the home of Interscope Records in which Axl Rose and Dr. Dre were in attendance and this was '97 so during the Axl years where he wasn't in the public(noted in third link below). Radish was actually pretty damn good, very catch songs but their album came out in '97 which was when alternative/post grunge was fading fast....same year nu metal was starting to pick up hot. They never caught traction...they were mix between Nirvana and Weezer so it wasn't orginal in 1997 but still pretty damn good especially for high schoolers.

Speaking of Jackyl, how about doing a vid on their Guinness World Records, 100 shows in 50 days & 21 shows in 24 hrs
I love both bands, they both needed to get over themselves.
Aerosmith : Dave, you're fired
Dave : Ah shit here we go again...
Dave FOCKING left the FOCKING tour
What I respect about Mustaine is that he has the balls to deal with the consequences of his assholiness
Who else is gonna deal?
In the end we live with ourselves
And deal with that
Still a dick move
Yeah sand spends the rest of his life bitching about the people involved until the end of time...
I tend to respect people that are not assholes in the first place
Mustaine is a great guy , without any doubt.
Friedman felt so bad about cancelling in Japan a second time that he moved there, learned the language and married a Japanese girl.
Friedman has always felt bad coz he’s a typical private school kid. That’s why he surrendered trying and just went to Japan to be “so big”.
Megadeth should have never opened for Aerosmith and for many reasons.
yea because Aerosmith sucks and theyre gay
@@freewheelburning8834 What a mature thing to say. 🙄
Like Megadeth at that time should have been the headline act, and Aerosmith should have opened for them.
That works be like Jethro Tull winning metal song of the year... oh
@@freewheelburning8834 their old shit is good
In Dave's autobiography he says an interviewer was disappointed with how short their set was and he replied, "We don't have long to play because Aerosmith don't have long to live."
He also said that Steven Tyler and Joe Perry heard the interview on the radio while riding around in their limo and that's what caused them to throw Megadeth off the tour. And didn't Dave also say that their (Megadeths) tour manager told them about being thrown off the tour at a Taco Bell? Where did the waitress come in at?
Lol
He was pretty much wrong b/c that was almost 30 years ago now.
Oh the irony
Sorry but Aerosmith will be played long after megadeth later on in time. I like both bands but way more hits over several eras of time. It’s just jealousy because they weren’t the headline.
please cut out the "stay tuned to find out" I have already clicked on the video mate.
😂
So cringe.
Right, I cringe every time. I think he can’t figure out how to crowbar his “logo” in, so he does that.
@@brandoelee6161 lol “crowbar”. Right. I would’ve just read the title and knock all the bullshit out with one punch. “Why did Vince Neil eat a whole cake before a concert in Birmingham?” Cue the logo, a guitar riff and right into the story.
Don't touch that dial!
Tyler and Mustaine both have huge egos. Water and oil.
Yea but only one of them has actual talent....and it's not Steven Tyler
@@GreenGhostGalahad that’s funny
Haha, don't they all?
@@GreenGhostGalahad I wouldn't say that
LOL mustaine can't sing.
Pretty rough when your waiter informs you that you've been canned...
He got served.
Even worse when your waiter informs you that your food is canned.
Possible that it was the loser’s only sober moment.
"No warning? No second chance? Bill please"
1:36 I can't see Megadeth opening for Pantera back in '93. I know Pantera was hot back then but so was Megadeth and they were the senior band
Exactly! Pantera had just supported Megadeth on their Countdown Tour!
Yep, I agree, no way Megadeth 'opening' for Pantera in 93. By that year Megadeth had sold so many albums, done so many massive tours and had hit songs playing all over prime time radio...Pantera not so much.
@@dhira2689
Yep, Pantera opened for Megadeth
in ’93, at least in Europe. Probably
the only time when I’ve seen the
opening act wipe the floor with the
headliners...✌️
@@kiekko673 This is the attitude of music fans I don't understand. Two completely different bands being compared because one has to be "better" . Maybe it's because I'm a musician , but I like to think I grew out of that silly attitude when I became an adult.
I saw Pantera open for Black Sabbath after Ozzy came back and Dime Bag was on fire! So was the rest of the band except Phil sounded like shit trying to sing like the death metal grizzly bear , looking back now tho I know he was going threw his own addiction problems at the time.
"Mustaine was whining because we wouldn't let him hang out with us" is the most obvious out-of-character remark anyone could've made about Mustaine. There are very few people I could ever see him gush over and Aerosmith aren't in that group.
Maybe one of those are the Metallica...:)
Its exactly how i picture mustaine, and yes early aerosmith was a huge influence for the thrash bands
He relapsed during that time. Aerosmith were trying to stay sober. It makes perfect sense. Aerosmith are absolutely in that group. They were fucking gods in the 70s, when Mustaine was growing up.
@@colico14 God's to who? Aerosmith didn't do anything for thrash. Mediocre band
@@nicoldanser1116 I think getting fired by Metallica was enough to end any camaraderie between Dave and the Metallica gents.
Some buddies and I had tickets to this show. Couldn’t believe we were going to see Aerosmith and MD on the same bill.
Why didn't you?
@@tylove7992
They all died in a horrible car accident on the way to the show.
I remember hearing a rumor that Dave Mustaine said on stage, "We don't mind opening for Aerosmith cause they'll be dead soon anyway." Which, come on, is pretty funny and something Mustaine would totally say. Again, just a rumor I heard and felt like sharing in print here.
Just watch the video, dude. The "They will be dead" episode is in the video. God damn.
get a grip sucks, aerosmith was dead by the 90s, songs like crazy....
Another person in this thread attributed that quote to Scott Weiland of STP.
@@lakesuperiorlycan1676 Yep. I called them Aerobicsmith
@MorbidManMusic Remains Yeah Megadeth have made a resurgence Dystopia Rules and he battled Throat Cancer and now Follow Up to Dystopia in Works .Areosmith doing what now?
This is shocking because Slayer as an opening act for Britney Spears didn't really work out either. Britney's management hoped Slayer could warm up the first few rows of the audience but somehow there was a clash of music styles and such. Yeah, I don't understand it either... (sarcasm overload)
lol exactly
I'm sorry, Slayer opened for Britney? Who the hell came up with that piece of genius 😂 And who in Slayer agreed to it?
😂
what i heard is Slayer was Britney's rythm section that time
Well now that Britney is "free" and Kerry and co. are looking for a vocalist since Tom retired they can create the supergroup to end all supergroups!? Might work?
Broke: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.
Woke: Dave Mustaine vs. The Universe.
Damn see you on Simian Jimmy's vids too lol. Dave Mustaine never catches a break, he's the Rodney Dangerfield of metal.
@@DonkeyBoyVids Justice for Mumkey! 🐒
@bucky468 ok
That can't be, because the definition of woke means you can't think for yourself. Dave's better than that.
Jason Schwartzman is Metallica.
In 1978 I saw three bands in concert. Opening up was this new band called Van Halen. Next...The Doobie Brothers. Then The Rolling Stones as the main act. That was a weird grouping of flavors too but man it was a night to remember and Van Halen stole the show.
1993 Aerosmith was a teeniebopper pop band- Megadeth was a machine in 1993 with Marty Friedman and Nick Menza at that time. If we were talking 1977 Aerosmith- now we have a great loud, heavy show with Megadeth.
For those out of the loop bands *not* getting a soundcheck is a very big deal. A band has to soundcheck with the sound engineer to make sure that all output (guitars, drum and bass) are heard by both audience *and band* is essential for a band to perform. e.g: If the rhythm guitarist cannot hear the lead on stage or if the summer cannot hear the guitars it will lead to big problems.
Edit: It is basically a deal breaker. It's like not getting to test drive a car before buying it. I've done lives with and without soundchecks prior to going hot. Those without soundchecks lead to nobody hearing anything other than the bassist.
Rock Stars acting like jerks . What's new lol ?
I saw that tour with that bill in Chicago. A person in the parking lot asked me who "Megadeth" was. My response was " The world's state of the art speed metal band". The dude said " oh, okay". I happened to be both an Aerosmith and Megadeth fan. It was quite awesome.
I was there too! Tinley Park woo hoo
I guess Megadeth did not.....walk this way
But their boots were made for walking... And that's just what they did ;)
Niiiiice
Thanks. Cleaning the monitor after spewing beverage over it. *chuckle
David Mustaine is a rock legend but this is not the first time i've heard he's, lets say it politely, a difficult man to get along with.
Metal, not some pussy pop shit
He isn't a rock legend stop it. Rock dont know or claim that cokehead keep him over there with the desperate metalheads
3:13 are we not going to acknowledge the fact that Flea, Kurt Cobain and Joe Perry hung out backstage?
I believe that was the 1993 MTV Video Music Awards.
How about the fact that both Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic attended the Seattle show of this Aerosmith tour at what was then the Seattle Coliseum and hung out with Aerosmith backstage? Steven tried to help Kurt the same way he tried to help Mustaine and Ellefson. Sadly, Kurt didn't make it of course.
haha right??! and Cobain has a freak'n donut in one hand and what appears to be what's left of a churro? in the other!!
@@chuppoacobra
From craft services.
@Depressed Rat
It's not that crazy to grab a churro and donut from the food table and then mingle about the place, is it?
Never knew my favorite classic rock band fired my favorite metal band.
3:13
Random Kurt Cobain with a doughnut... awesome
i dont eat fucking doughnuts...
@@megaloblabber2948 You'll never remember, I'll always forget!
Love these stories from the early ‘90s glory days of hard rock & metal.
Seems like Mustaine gets kicked out from everywhere 😂
and kicks their ass every time
He was an asshole back then that's why!! He was literally the proverbial "red-headed stepchild" lol
How do you fart when Dave mustaine’s around?
I wouldn't be surprised to hear him getting kicked out of his jesus freak group for being too holier than thou. He's just a complete a**hole.
Dave Mustaine and Axl Rose were made from the same mold, the mold of dislike.
A personal story, I attended the Painkiller Tour (Testament, Megadeth, Priest) in 1991, just a couple years before the Aerosmith tour discussed in this video. At the time, Megadeth was the primary draw for me, it was the first and only time I saw them live. (Don't get me wrong, I was excited to see Testament and Priest as well). I have no idea what goes into producing the audio quality for a rock concert on a technical level, but I was IMMEDIATELY disappointed in the sound quality that was produced for Megadeth. ESPECIALLY when Judas Priest hit the stage, the sound was ****ing amazing and even in the moment, I suspected that all the sound engineers hadn't been fully present in giving us the best possible Megadeth sound, but were instead all taking their time getting everything finely tuned for Priest, during Megadeth's set. I felt a bit robbed as a Megadeth fan, even as I was SUPER OVER IMPRESSED by Priest. I have described this experience to my friends many times over the years. What's the takeaway, I dunno, this is just my personal anecdote. Maybe Dave or his manager just didn't know or develop the skills to communicate properly with the sound crew.
This is my first experience with your channel, and I like what you are doing! Subscribed!!!!!
I saw that tour as well. Phenomenal show!! I didn’t feel the same disappointment with Megadeth’s sound quality, though it could be that we were at different venues. Or more likely that I went in expecting the quality to be less (I was finding this to be a consistent reality for opening bands) and was pleasantly surprised at how killer they still sounded. I saw them again 8 years later at Ozzfest and what I found notable there was the incredible contrast live between the newer material and pre-Youthanasia. Like two different bands almost. Hearing “Trust” followed by “Holy Wars” for instance, especially given that it was the same lineup who recorded both and were on stage (I think it was the last tour with Marty and Nick).
Dave Mustaine has always been his own worst enemy.
Had, not has. Dave's now seemingly at peace with himself.
@@mel124177 cancer humbled him.
This is not about that. You're supposed to be proud and hold people accountable. That's metal. Towing the line - not very metal. There are fairly obvious philosophical and attitude differences between thrash bands and Aerosmith. Aerosmith is as mainstream and dangerous as the Beach Boys really.
Context, this was nearly 30 years ago.
@EricJ305 Mustaine had already noted in prior days that their setup wasn't good. Why would Mustaine want to hang out with Steven Tyler? He already knew all the TALENTED musicians and started bands more legendary than Aerosmith could dream of becoming (can't wait for the response to that one; Aerosmith blows).
The Get A Grip Tour was my second concert ever (first was Tool) and my first arena tour.
Brother Cane opened for them. The bassist of that band cut his hand really bad during a song, but he played the whole set getting blood everywhere.
Brother Cane is criminally underrated
The band I was in back in the early 90's was based out of Birmingham, AL, and we played with BC a few times when they were still called Chyld. In fact a few bands we were friends with out of the B'Ham area made it big: Wanton Rut became Virgos Merlot and got signed to Atlantic, and Vallejo Bros. ended up on Sony for an album. Both great bands you may want to check out.
Brother Cane, I saw them as the closing band in League City, TX in the parking lot of the dog racing track. They had good songs.
Megadeth fans that came to see them, would've left after they played,leaving the place half empty.
I remember being perplexed by this pairing, yet, as a fan of both bands, I love it. Sadly, by the time the tour reached Seattle, Megadeth had been replaced by Jackyl.
P.S. It was Pantera who were opening for Megadeth, not the other way around. Megadeth was the bigger band at that time.
Not the biggest Aerosmith fan, but I for sure respect their ability to reinvent themselves so many times..
Aerosmith probably felt embarrassed going out on stage after megadeth was done lol
Lol what's embarrasing about not being as heavy as Megadeth? Aerosmith is also cool.
@@saulcontrerasOfficial I mean there are several songs on get a grip way heavier than symphony of destruction lol
Embarrassed? Ticked off is more like it!
I've seen both bands in concerts a handful of times.
I couldnt fathom seeing them on the same tour.
Pretty crazy that Aerosmith was looked at as the positive influence for desired/sober behavior!
"No warning? No second chance?"
I don’t think others caught on to your Metallica reference....
Most of those openers sound like strange choices. I can't believe I never heard about this when it happened.
Jackyl is a decent fit
When I saw Aerosmith around 1990, Skid Row opened. I had absolutely no interest in Skid Row, but it was a good pairing.
They fired Megadeth because a week into the tour they secretly realized they couldn’t follow Megadeth on stage. They were just way too heavy 😎
I believe u to b dead on.🤘
@@iragravatt6717 holy shit, I remember making this comment and I would have thought I made it like a month or two ago, 3 months tops. That shit says _1 year ago_ already. A whole year wtf am I doing with myself, damn… 😰🤯 …I’m only saying it in response to this comment since the notification for it brought me back here
Yeah time is a weird one. The older I get the more crazily it seems to move.
Been into deth since countdown. Still one of my favorites ..... Ever.
I know we got time as a context (now) but even back then the pairing of these two bands is (musta) come across as damn odd. Haha
✌
Lots of stories about Tyler being mad at getting upstaged...turned the power off on Kansas.
@@PotawatomiThunderNew right on bro and your comment is dead on! It reminds me of back in the day when someone had the bright idea of having the B-52’s open for The Who. Oh what could possibly go wrong there? How about everything being thrown at them and they having to leave the stage during the only song they tried playing. At least that’s what happened in Orlando Florida in 1992 or 83. It was a long time ago but I’ll never forget the B-52’s running for their lives🤣🤣🤣 I guess Megadeth was a bad choice by Aerosmith but it could have been much worse 🤣🤣🤣
I worked floor on this tour in Birmingham, AL at the BJCC. Both bands were great.
I was at the Houston TX show, for that tour. Killer show!!!
i grew up in 70s and aerosmith was my 1st concert .. couldnt tell you one song of megadeath ..but woke up to aerosmith like in 80s that they are a bubble gum , teenie bopper rock group. megadeath...straight balls to wall rockenroll band...
Wasn't it Aerosmith that kicked STP off their tour?Scott Weiland said it was okay for them to headline because they were going to be dead soon. I feel like it was the Rolling Stones if it wasn't Aerosmith.😄😄😄
R.I.P. Scott
The Black Crowes were also kicked off a Aerosmith tour back in the early 90's according to Chris Robinson.
I think the Crowes made it thru the entire tour, but bad-mouthed Aerosmith after it ended...the Crowes WERE booted from the ZZ Top tour
You left out Jackyl, they toured with them on get a grip in Hershey PA, great show my 1st too. The 4nonblonde december show got snowed out. The following summer Jackyl opened the rescheduled show. Ty snow
I saw this tour in Biloxi, Mississippi 🤘🏻
Steven Tyler or Dave Mustaine. Who has the bigger mouth? That's the real question.
I swear, Steven Tyler could fit a baseball in his mouth.
@@drachenpanzer5622 he could fit a basketball lmao
steven tyler cant play and sing, dave rules
don't they have horrible histories with relationships with their bandmates? I get Mustaine basically having hired guns but doesn't Tyler have mad beef with Joe Perry? Both Dave/Tyler seem like horrible people to be around during this time period lol.
Dave tends to say smart, funny things. Tyler just babbles gibberish.
Aerosmith always took opening acts that weren’t their core audience’s taste. But the champs of that tactic were Van Halen. Can’t get upstaged if the crowd hates your opener.
So true, I remember seeing Van Halen in the 80's in Montreal and their opening act was this old woman with a Cello who did not know how to play. She was on stage for 40 min to everyone's chagrin. When VH hit the stage you can imagine how crazy the crowd were. Old tactic but very effective. FYI, she was a homeless woman but VH treated her very well and compensated her very well.
Unless your opener is Metallica, and Van Halen played with them on the Monsters of Rock tour.
Oh the Van Halen fan's *loved* Autograph.
That's DLR. He likes dance music. He had Kool & the Gang open up last time he played Philadelphia. I
love and grew up on KatG but that's not gonna get rock fans pumped up.
Bachman Turner Overdrive opened for Van Halen when I saw them. Good ole boys literally in bib overalls opening for West Coast flamboyance. It was odd.
“Opening for Pantera?” Summer of 93, Megadeth headlined the gig I was at, Pantera played the middle slot, and White Zombie opening the show. Sandstone amp, KC.... Rob Zombie set a new record for most times saying “Yeah” that night...
I saw that tour at Pine Knob Music theater in Michigan. Last concert I went to before joining the Army.
i saw one of these shows. it was in Birmingham, Alabama at the Jefferson center. i enjoyed it :)
I was so mad because I was stoked to see both bands. They fired megadeth 3 days before my city. Trixter sucked as replacement . And Aerosmith sucked also. No interaction with fans and small quick perfomances- Earliest concert I've ever been out of. Never cared to see Aerosmith again.
They had Jackyl as the opener when I saw them. Equally bad. Enjoyed Aerosmith at the time but in hindsight, not the best show I’ve been to.
Trixter? Yuck
Trixter? Wow, I forgot about them. Haven't heard that name in years. Not really a good replacement.
Holy crap. You were expecting the awesomeness that is Megadeth and got got Pearl Harbored with Trixter? Bro, if you need a hug, we are all here for you.
My apologies to all! It was Jackyl. To me same shit as Trixter..
We also have to remember that Steven Tyler in the mid 2000s was back on the juice! He was almost booted out of the band. That caused Joe to shove Steven off of the stage
@John Doh exactly. I think he went back on the juice in 2008 because I remember Joe's band the Joe Perry Project was one of the few bands who opened up for Motley Crue in 2009. After the Steven Tyler debacle Joe's and Steven's friendship has since been fraid (I butchered that word).
@B luv Sims he also has kids even though they are adults they are still his responsibility. I mean he should stay clean for them but sadly he can't. It hurts me when responsible parents would rather take a hit of cocaine or heroin over taking care of or being there for their kids
My mom saw Aerosmith. Tyler took a sniff from a poison ring and fell off stage
@@annetteslife I am amazed that he would go back to to taking that dreadful drug. I saw Joe Perry project in San Diego at a movie theater in pacific Beach. Joe Perry had a good song called let the music do the talking that really was a good song. You should listen to a song by the Rolling Stones called Torn and Frayed it is quite nice.
@@stephenmr2 I saw the Joe Perry Project when they were one of the openers for Motley Crue. I saw in Calgary Alberta Canada. I love the Rolling Stones. I definitely will listen to that song
I saw this tour in Chicago. I had no idea that Megadeth only played 7 of those 25 shows. They were touring for the “Countdown to Extinction” album. Also, this was the only time I was able to see Marty play with Megadeth.
I got to see one of those shows, I believe it was in Biloxi, Miss
I went to the Aerosmith / Megadeth show in Dallas. It was a strange combination but both bands played great. Dave did an interview on the local Dallas radio station that was one of the sponsors of the show. It was played live at the venue before the concert so it was kinda weird hearing the guy you were about to see on stage in an hour was complaining about being on that tour. 😛
Dallas TX July of 93, I was 9 years old used to be called the Coca-Cola starplex, Collective Soul and I think a small time group named Little Texas opened for Aerosmith... my first concert, heck of a time I remember well!
That's an odd combination. A classic rock band with opening acts being an alt-rock band and a country band. Oh well, as long as you had fun.
Megadeth opened for Aerosmith in Dallas. I was at the show. You are misremembering, I think.
Don't see Collective Soul mentioned much anywhere these days!
4:32 some inside footage, nice!
I was at that last concert in Houston when Dave started yelling at the crowd, it’s 2 different genres of music
Same fate ACDC faced. ACDC opened for ( you know who) story goes that when ACDC ran long, Stephen Tyler would unplug them. Thats go time! You touch my equipment & Tyler would have been lookin for his front teeth. .
I saw this tour in Birmingham. Megadeth and Aerosmith were both good, no complaints.
Then you’ll remember Dave jumping off stage, going to the board, and adjusting the mix that was WAY too heavy on bass and had no guitar or vocal mix. I was there too
@@johntalley6028 I was there too, lol. Worked the floor. Both bands were great, but Aerosmith brought down the house.
Jason Heavner Didn't know they play in the UK together.
@@rodycaz8984 Alabama, sir
@@rodycaz8984 Oops, I should've been more specific. It was Birmingham, Alabama.
I saw that tour in Dallas. July 93, I believe.
Consideration of showcase order is as important as understanding things that aren't likely to vibe.
Aerosmith and Megadeth is a mismatch anyway in my opinion. I saw Megadeth open for Alice Cooper at the Coliseum in Phoenix and that was a little more fitting. The only problem was Megadeth was not loud enough AT ALL but they sounded amazing. That was ‘87 I believe. Megadeth had just released *Peace Sells...* about a year prior and Cooper was on his Constrictor Tour.
Saw that same tour. Dave was a drunk asshole.
I saw the same tour, only Vinnie Vincent’s Invasion opened. Lucky you.
@IT'SME no, this was different. They weren’t loud AT ALL! Like I-could-comfortably-talk-to-the-person-next-to-me not loud at all.
The tour with Alice Cooper is why Dave eventually became born again..

That was so untrue! I was at the concert in Biloxi Ms, and Megadeth doing the opening for Aerosmith, Megadeth was a heavy metal and also had came out stoned as hell, started playing and incited a mosh pit...there were so many injured at that concert that Aerosmith fired Megadeth because they were afraid of liability.
I got to see a show during that tour in Dallas, Tx. at The Starplex next to The Texas State Fair. Megadeth came on & opened with Symphony of Destruction & it was great! I'm a huge Aerosmith fan from their first LP through Draw the Line. Draw the Line was the last LP I liked from them. When they got sober & went pop rock, I bailed. I'd seen them live on all their tours from Get Your Wings through Draw the Line. I only went to this one to see Megadeth & they did not disappoint, they were great. I stayed for Aerosmith too, & fortunately about 80% of their show was all the old songs from their 1st LP thru Draw the Line. Their encore was Train Kept A Rollin'. They were great too, except for the 5 or 6 pop hits they had that they played. But, just to get to hear their hard stuff was def worth it to put up with their bubble gum pop songs. All in all a great show. Just months before that I had got to see Megadeth in a small venue called The Bomb Factory in Deep Ellum in Dallas with Corrosion of Conformity as the opening act. Both bands were excellent. Albatross & Clean My Wounds, 2 of my faves, sounded incredible.
I saw one of those 7 shows. 11th row of the World Music theater. Aerosmith had a BIG curtain they projected their silhouettes onto to while the opened with Love in an Elevator. Took up the whole stage. Still it was a great show. My buddy got a drumstick from Megadeth’s drummer.
i could have been at that show but passed cuz i didnt like aerosmith very much at the time. i was pissed when i found out that megadeth was opening. idid end up seeing both bands at seperate times yrs later though. aerosmith put on a hell of a show.
RIP Nick Menza.
I went to see Aerosmith on this tour. My buddy was more into Megadeth and was a bit peeved that he ended up seeing Jackyl instead of Megadeth as the opening act. I agree that I would have much rather seen Megadeth, particularly since it was with their Rust in Peace line-up. But it didn't stop my enjoyment of Aerosmith's performance
i would have left the concert when jackyl came out
@@lakesuperiorlycan1676 yeah, wasn't impressed with jackyl and the trying to cut stool with chainless chainsaw
@@jasonolijar2645 cutting stool with a chainsaw, maybe they did steal the show from 90s aerosmith. haha
I️ was at one of these shows. Megadeaths volume was turned so down it was barely over the house music. It was awful.
Because Aerosmith were insecure douches.
Dave is a lifelong fighter. He’s been through so much but he always comes back stronger and better. I happen to believe Dave in this circumstance. I honestly think Dave could care less about him not hangin out with Tyler and Perry.
I remember seeing Aerosmith at The Pacific Amphitheater in Costa Mesa, Ca 1993. Megadeth was supposed to be on that tour. I was so bummed when they were replaced by Jackyl. LOL ! Maybe one day i’ll have my chance to see Megadeth.
because Megadeth was blowing Aerosmith off the stage!
Aerosmith is so good live it's insane. I love Megadeth but idk about that one chief
@@andrewwoodward8563 you obviously didn't see them with kiss. Aerosmith was not happy having to follow that show. My mom was so excited to see Aerosmith and left liking kiss.
I saw Aerosmith at the LA forum in 1975 toys in the attic tour excellent show I saw them at Anaheim stadium in 1976 Rocks was the album the were promoting they were two different bands i said what happened in one year because they sucked in Anaheim
@@briandavid3105 saw them sometime around 2012. I honestly expected them to suck just because of how old they were, but holy shit Steven Tyler blew my fucking face off. That man was possessed by a rock demon
I saw this tour in Biloxi. I left after Megadeth played.
Never cared for Aerosmith.
I am of he same opinion. I respect what aerosmith has done and their music, but for me it is megadeth!
Definitely a Megadeth fan but I gave twitter a try about 5 years ago, cause I thought it would be cool to see what people like Dave had to say.... It’s not. Again I’m a fan, but Dave is real petty. And man if you listen to any Aerosmith that came out before MTV was invented... it’s heavy. It ain’t Megadeth heavy, but it ain’t no dude looks like a lady crap either.
I've seen both bands, when I saw Aerosmith, it was at the height of their drug use, they started with Helter Skelter, which was pretty good, but after that it, was all down hill, AC/DC (Bon Scott era) had opened the show, they blew Aerosmith off the stage, I've seen Megadeth 3 times, they always kill it, one of the best live bands for sure.
never liked Megadeth
@@bronsonosborne3962 thanks for letting us know.
Saw that show in Dallas. July 93 I believe.
I saw Megadeth headline with Suicidal Tendencies on their Rust In Peace tour in the late 80's so it's hard for me to imagine them touring with Aerosmith of all bands lol!
Suicidal Tendencies were the best band I ever saw live.
Megadeth is on a whole different level of than Aerosmith...
Aerosmith sucks
Bottom level is a level I suppose.
Yeah 150 million albums vs Megadeth’s measly 38 lmao they are definitely on a lower level
Megadeth is far better than most out there. Some just don't get it.
@@markm4033 good guitar player terrible singer/lyricist lol
Poor Dave with all his anger and frustration
@John Doh When you are cursed with extreme negativity, it's not enough.
@@HeathenDance Dave Mustain is so poor all he go is his money
I saw this Aerosmith show at Star Lake outside of Pittsburgh in early July of '93. Jackyl and Poison opened up for them if I remember correctly. I read in either Hit Parader - or similar - that Megadeth was going to join the tour right after that and I was bummed, as I was a huge Megadeth fan and had missed their Countdown tour (frustrating story for another time). Although I didn't understand how they got on the bill with Aerosmith, considering being nowhere near the same musical style, I would much rather had seen them than the 2 I did see. It was no surprise to find out that they were kicked off the tour shortly thereafter though.
Nice one,thank you. I will subscribe.
back in the day I loved Aerosmith... that was a long time ago...
Meanwhile, Megadeth is STILL packing stadiums.
1:37 Phil sporting what is quite possibly the coolest shirt ever made. It’s an enlarged “Elephant Man” head sack. Wow.
So refresh my memory - I was growing up in the 80's watching MTV and all that, never heard of Aerosmith until "Dude Looks Like a Lady" hit MTV - then all of a sudden, they were on the map - and we started seeing the Walk this Way video as well, Angel, etc. I know the collaboration came before, but I don't recall the popularity of it until after Permanent Vacation (first cassette i bought myself) broke - anyone else recall it this way?
@VBshredder Except they had hits in the 70s.....Walk This Way was a hit before they remade it with RunDMc. The band started in 1970. You missed a decade!
@@snikkerr1949 Oh yes i'm fully aware of the prior huge success and good times (I wasn't back then, I was 9), just talking about the whole "Walk This Way rebroke the band" narrative in the 80's, which I recall "Dude Looks LIke A Lady" being the first big comeback, then walk this way started getting rotation
@better future Yup as I got to know them I became aware they were huge in the 70's, and have come to love many of those classic tunes, just trying to get the facts straight on the "Walk this way rebroke them" narrative, because being young back then, that's not how I recall it. I recall seeing Steven Tyler singing "Dude looks like a lady" and going "what is this" and running out to buy the tape, then later the RUN DMC collab started getting attention as well.
Well White Zombie and Pantera had already opened up for Megadeth because I saw that tour. White Zombie was on their La Sexorcisto tour Pantera was on their Vulgar Display tour and Megadeth was on their Countdown to Extinction tour.Long live Dave and Megadeth.To be honest I'll take Run DMC over Aerosmith.
Me too, Aerosmith are dinosaur bones in the Rock And Roll museum at this point anyway.
I saw a show from ALL of those tours. Those were the days
la sexorcist was their best album. every song is great.
Went to see Dokken/Aerosmith ('87) with some friends. I discovered days later my dad was there as well and liked the 'opening band' much better.
My Sister's Machine opened that tour in Detroit. Great band, perfect debut album called "Diva". Not a week track on it. Vulgar is still my favorite Pantera work. Like Zombie's stuff too. Check out "Diva" of you can find it.
Dude I love both bands. Love. People only think of dream on and walk this way run Dmc version. Truthfully I could never listen to those songs again and be happy. They’re overdone and it’s a shame that they’re known for those. Aerosmith’s come back in the late 80s/early 90s was powerful, and had so many great albums/hits. They’re legit. Megadeth is amazing. Nothing else needs to be said on them.
I took my family to their 'Get A Grip' concert in Phoenix after they 'fired' Megadeath and replaced them with Collective Soul. Rockin' out with my kids was pretty cool.
I remember when this happened. Dave did an interview with some syndicated metal show and completely ripped Steven Tyler to shreds. He did a really funny impression of him. I wish I could find it.
Back then Aerosmith was at the top of there game. They had great shows and were a tight band. They would take out on tour bands they felt needed a little tuning up. Skid Row, Guns and Roses both got that treatment and there shows after the Aerosmith run showed it.
Megadeth did not take it that Aerosmith was a better band than them and did not take the under the wing attitude that Aerosmith was putting out. Management also didn’t want one of the toxic twins to relapse and the Dave’s were not going to be told no party favors in the arena.
So they were gone.
Let me make something clear Aerosmith is not a better band
What’s with constant blur, I could only watch 2 minutes of censored video
Wow the Mighty Mighty Bosstones went on this tour with Aerosmith. That’s pretty cool.
Dude, just be happy Aerosmith wanted you on tour! These rock stars man, I tell ya ... glad Dave has straightened up his act.
Bad booking, two different crowds
Yeah, a bit of a mismatch on the part of the promoters; I'm not seeing a huge overlap in the 2 bands ' fans.
Kind of like when I saw kickaxe/ Whitesnake/ quiet riot, then 2 weeks later, dire straits, same arena- ' whoa , this is a completely different crowd's (99% of my concerts are hard rock/ metal)
@John Doh that makes sense, money!
If Aerosmith was still playing hard rock like the 70s, it would have been more of a fit.
@@bucknasty69 good point, they were doing way more refined , polished stuff during that time than the gritty earlier stuff
Not really, I like both bands.
Imagine if Urge Overkill were the opening act at the time. When ego's collide.
pantera ended up doing the tour with sepultura and in think prong in 93-94 during the brazil world cup
Ahh... The sweet wonderful world of Narcissism
Two different styles completely. You're going from "symphony of destruction" to "love in an elevator" Megadeath definitely should've been allowed to have a full stage with full backdrop.
In 1988 Megadeath opened up for Priest out in Az.
I can't tell you what album Megadeath was touring but Priest was Ram it Down
All I'm saying is that in this video Dave was said to have mentioned the time they were slotted for and the space that was waisted on stage was an issue.
I could totally see that shit where I was.
Very odd matching. BTW I’ve seen Suicidal Tendencies open for Megadeth. Great show!
I am glad that dude got saved and it's quite humbling to admit you screwed up, and it's probably true. But, I never thought Megadeth opening for Aerosmith made any sense until I realized that they too had been struggling recovery then it all made perfect sense at that level. I think it could have worked maybe in an alternative universe. I was never a fan of Megadeth per say, but not because I didn't see any potential, I just don't like their genre. It's too heavy.
Honestly, I don't blame Dave for getting mad at being treated like a newbi band by Aerosmith.
1:37 The first time I saw Pantera was them opening for Megadeth... xD
I saw them in East Troy Wisconsin on this tour, definitely a not to common mix. I remember in the middle of a song Dave was challenging someone in the audience to come on stage to fight 😂😂. I do like Aerosmith but I love Megadeth, killer show from what I remember
I was there too. Up front. Like 4th row.
Talk about Holy Wars! Such a bad pairing of bands. Megadeth was way to thrash for an Aerosmith audience. Now I’m hangry for some guacamole 🥑🎸🥑
@Rocknroll Jimi nice taste in music 👍
Megadeth would have stole the show are you kidding, RUST IN PEACE lineup vs get a grip.... after the 7 shows i bet aerosmith were tired of closing after Megadeth melted the audience, this happened in the Gigantour when Megadeth stole the show playing before Black sabbath with Dio singing. The concert seemed over when megadeth was done , poor black sabbath had to come out after Megadeth and the crowd broke up and just was deflated when sabbath played. IF they stole the show from sabbath mind you no ozzy, they would easily steal the show from aerosmith night after night. Me thinks Steven tyler knows it and all the people who were there for the first 7 shows.
@Anthony Farrish lol I've never tried it .I've mixed guac and sour cream so can't be that bad . throw some jalapenos in for a kick .im gonna try it .Thanks
@EricJ305 xynaku
@@lakesuperiorlycan1676 Yeah, Aerosmith and Black Sabbath are two different bands though. Aerosmith still stole the show, don't get it twisted xD
