10 Things Only Megadeth Fans Will Understand
10. Arguing Over Which Version Of A Tout Le Monde Is Better
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU-dKoFZT0ABefore we get started, let's just get one thing straight: The original version of A Tout Le Monde is far and away the better version of the song. Disagree with me? You're wrong. Just plain wrong.
Ah, the fun Megadeth fans have. Originally recorded in 1994 for the album Youthanasia, A Tout Le Monde (or To All The World in English) is one of the band's most famous songs, detailing the poetic final words of someone who knows they are soon to die. The song is quite moving, and the original recording is just as touching today as it was back then. Why, then, was it re-recorded for the 2007 album United Abominations? The new recording features a vocal duet with Cristina Scabbia, singer of the metal band Lacuna Coil. While most fans see sense and recognise the original as superior in every way, occasionally you'll encounter someone who has their preferences all wrong. Just remember to point this out to them and everything will be okay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEyOwLY3rV4
