Each time the set got shorter and shorter. I'm hoping we’ll have a good 75-minute-to-90-minute setlist that we can play. Either way, we're going to try and play several songs off of [MEGADETH's latest album] 'Dystopia'."Asked in a 2013 interview what it takes for a new MEGADETH song to stay in the setlist beyond the album touring cycle,DeAndre Yedlin Jersey, like "She-Wolf" has, Mustaine said: "You know, a lot of it seems so scientific, but a lot of it isn't. It's just a matter of how long the set is, how high the song is singing-wise,Patrick Ewing USA Jersey, who we're playing with... The set we did for Gigantour isn't that different from what we did for the IRON MAIDEN tour, but we took out a couple of songs, we took out 'A Tout Le Monde' and we took out 'Trust', kind of let it rip. I think a lot of people were totally surprised by that setlist for the IRON MAIDEN dates, and so was I. I thought that was a good setlist,Washington Nationals Matt Belisle Jersey, but a lot of times you have people saying,Cleveland Indians Tommy Hunter Jersey, 'Oh, you gotta play 'A Tout Le Monde'. That's your biggest song. You gotta play 'Trust'. That's your number one hit. You gotta do this, you gotta do that.' I ain't gotta do nothing. And listening to the fans,Bart Starr Packers Jersey, what they like,Peter Holland Jersey, and listening to what I like. Between the two of us, one of us is going to be right. And I know that when it comes down to playing stuff that makes me feel good, I like playing the heavy stuff.""Dystopia" debuted at No. 3 on The Billboard 200, having shifted 49,Joe Theismann Redskins Jersey,000 equivalent album units in the week ending January 28.In terms of pure album sales, "Dystopia" opened with 48,000 copies, marking MEGADETH's highest-charting album since 1992's "Countdown To Extinction" debuted and peaked at No. 2 on the chart dated August 1 of that year.
