As the Big 4 Tour passed through the rest of their Summer European leg last week, Megadeth made a one-night headline stop in Hamburg, Germany.  During the show band leader Dave Mustaine decided to surprise the audience with a display of appreciation rather than a few kind words by performing a new song.

Well I want to do something for you tonight to show you how much we appreciate you instead of saying you’re a great audience.  We’re gonna play a new song for ya, said Mustaine.

The song comes from Megadeth’s upcoming album set to release later this year.  Entitled, “Public Enemy No. 1,” Mustaine and crew unveiled this new tune for the first time outside of the studio.

This song is from our new record, never been played anywhere, never been heard by anybody but us, added Mustaine.
