The shooting of Dawson
The September 13rd 2006, a young Gothic of the name of Kimveer Gill causes a Fusillade with the college Dawson. It quickly appeared that Gill was an amateur of the Megadeth group and more particularly of the song To everyone than it would have listened in loop little before passing to the act. Quickly, the leader of the group Dave Mustaine, which celebrated its 45ème birthday at the time of the facts, announced to be completely sorry and upset by the tragedy and that he would never have written this song if he had known the evil which it could make.
The television channel MTV had already withdrawn the video clip of To everyone to avoid promoting the suicide. Megadeth had then been defended by affirming that the song was rassembleuse and invited people to find solutions with their problems. Following the events, Dave Mustaine recalled that its song did not encourage absolutely with the suicide.
For its concert in Montreal the September 27th within the framework of the Gigantour 2006, Dave Mustaine interpreted With everyone and dedicated it to the victims of the shooting of the Dawson college and to their family.
