We've already seen the epic poster for Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine's appearance with the San Diego Symphony on Apr. 12 at the Copley Symphony Hall. Now we have some more details on the performance. According to the band's Facebook the setlist is going to be decidedly non-metal in the best way possible.
"Mustaine and the Symphony will perform renditions of the 'Summer' and 'Winter' movements from Vivaldi's 'The Four Seasons,' and Bach's 'Air' (on the G string), in a completely original way. Richard Wagner’s 'Ride of the Valkyries' and Antonin Dvorak's 'New World Symphony' will also be performed by the symphony during the concert. For more information"
Here's "Air" by Bach in case you're super uncultured and never heard the son before (gawd!). It'll be interesting to see how that's accomplished, not that the rest of the performance should be taking a back seat to it.
