Megadeth surprised fans with an impromptu acoustic set in front of the Hotel Madero in Buenos Aires.

Local Argentinians and Megadeth faithful who happened to catch the performance were treated to unplugged renditions of “Trust,” “Angry Again,” and “Symphony of Destruction.” And by unplugged, we mean totally acoustic — no mics, open air. Drummer Dirk Verbeuren doesn’t even have an instrument and instead slaps his thighs to the beat.

In the fan-filmed footage, the gathered crowd sings along soccer-chant style and actually overtakes the band in volume.

The pop-up set reprises Megadeth’s previous outside-of-hotel acoustic sets in Buenos Aires in 2016 (Four Seasons) and in 2018, when Mustaine played a surprise unplugged solo set for fans outside a hotel in Mendoza, Argentina, during a brief vacation following shows in Mexico.

Megadeth’s current Latin American tour runs through the end of April, followed by a European jaunt in June (tickets available here. The thrash-metal veterans are touring with new guitarist Teemu Mäntysaari, who became a permanent fixture in the band following the departure of Kiko Loureiro last year.
