This week, we introduce a new segment called, as you can plainly see in the headline, ‘Bang of the Week.” So, what is ‘Bang of the Week?’ No, it has nothing to do with nasty bedroom video tapes. ‘Bang of the Week’ is a way for you to get a glimpse at what music videos some of your favorite rockers are digging.
For the debut of ‘Bang of the Week’ we asked the guys in Heaven and Hell (Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio) to give some love to a new metal video and they chose a clip by their recent touring partners Megadeth, “A Tout Le Monde (Set Me Free).”
The song is a heavier, lusher remake of a track from Megadeth’s 1994 album Youthanasia and it features guest vocals by Lacuna Coil’s frontwoman Cristina Scabbia. The video was directed by Aggressive and shot March 8 and 9 in Los Angeles. Megadeth recently played Download and are currently in the middle of the European summer festival season.
Heaven and Hell are also in the middle of a European tour. The band will remain on the road through July 7 at the Montreux Jazz Festival, then they’ll head back out on tour November 4 for a tour of the UK that runs through November 18 in Bournemouth, England.
Now, here’s what Heaven and Hell have are singing high praise about — Megadeth’s video for “A Tour Le Monde (Set Me Free)”:
