MEGADETH A Tout Le Monde CD single (Holland)

Dari wikipedia,

Kimveer Gill, the man behind the Dawson College shooting in September 2006 was a fan of the band and in his blog on VampireFreaks.com on the day of the attack, he had mentioned the song. This led Megadeth to be blamed for the shooting. In a performance in Montreal on September 27, shortly after the attack, Dave Mustaine said to the crowd:

The guy who went to Dawson College and shot everyone, it's terrible. Aside from the fact that what he did was wrong, we have a relationship with Montreal, and that really pissed us off.

Before the concert in an interview for CBC News Mustaine said:

I was so angry that this guy would use my song, and that he would try and turn that beautiful song into something ugly and nasty. It's for those who lost their lives, and it's a gift to those who are in the process of healing (...) and Gill was "not worthy of being a Megadeth fan.

Ada sejarah lagu ni. Selain merupakan lagu paling best yang pernah Abang Mus cipta (dia sendiri akui), ada orang bunuh diri pasal lagu ni. MTV pun siap banned ini lagu sebab dituduh lagu pro-bunuh diri. Of course Abang Mus membantah. Katanya,

It's not a suicide song. What it is, it's, you, it's when people have a loved one that dies and they end on a bad note, you know, they wish that they could say something to them. So this is an opportunity for the deceased to say something before they go. And it was my impression of what I would like to say to people, if I had say, 3 seconds to do so in life before I died I'd say to the entire world, to all my friends, I love you all, and now I must go. These are the last words I'll ever speak, and they'll set me free. I don't need to say I'm sorry, I don't have to say I'm going to miss you, or I'll wait for ya. You know, I'll just say I loved you all, good, bad and different, I loved you all.

Apapun, lagu A Tout Le Monde ni memang best. Sangat best sampai Abang Mus re-rekod ini lagu untuk album United Abominations dengan vokalis undangan Cristina Scabbia dari band Lacuna Coil. Pada pandangan aku la, solo gitar dalam versi rerekod oleh Glen Drover lagi best dari Marty Friedman. Oh ye, single ni rilis sempena album Youthanasia.

1. A Tout Le Monde - Apa nak dikata? Antara lagu paling best Megadeth, setaraf dengan kultusnya lagu Holy Wars, Hangar 18, In My Darkest Hour etc. Bezanya lagu ni bertaraf hampir balada. Melodik dan sedap didengar sampai meleleh taik telinga. 5/5

2. Symphony of Destruction (demo) - Memang demo habis bunyinya. Aku rasa Abang Mus nyanyi pun sekadar nak test lirik je kot. Sumbangsih habis suaranya... Ke overdose? Masa ni Abang Mus masih lagi terikat dengan drug addiction so paham-paham je la. 3/5

3. Architecture of Aggression (demo) - unreleased track? Tertulis dalam CD tapi actually lagu rilis dalam album sebelumnya, Countdown to Extinction. Lagu ni agak best. Dia punya riff gitar henjut bahu best. Tapi Abang Mus ni memang tabik hormat la. Tangan dia macam ada otak sendiri. Nak pikir lari-lari fret lagi lepas tu nak nyanyi lagi. Apa? James Hetfield... poodah chit! Mana boleh celen Abang Mus! 5/5

4. New World Order (demo) - Lagu ni pun best. Dari tajuknya macam politikal. Sesuai la jugak kot cuma nak bayangkan Abang Mus masa ni junkie lepas tu nak kedepan dengan politik, tak tau la. Main konsert je la Abang Mus oi... tapi sekarang dah sober dah. OK la tu. 4/5

versi original

versi baru

versi baru ni dilajukan sikit. Maybe upped 10-20 BPM kot. Bandingkan solo gitar tu. Aku vote for versi baru. Lebih mendayu pada aku.
