"In 1988, Mustaine caused a riot when Megadeth played a concert in Northern Ireland after he dedicated a song to "the cause", later claiming surprise that this was a euphemism for supporting the Irish Republican Army (IRA) regarding the problems between Northern Ireland's Catholic and Protestant communities."

"In 1988, Mustaine caused a riot when Megadeth played a concert in Northern Ireland after he dedicated a song to "the cause", later expressing surprise that this was a euphemism for supporting the Irish Republican Army (IRA) in the conflict between Northern Ireland's Republican and Unionist communities."

Aside from clumsy wording ("claiming surprise") the current text suggests the Troubles was primarily a religious conflict, which contemporary understandings (including paragraph 2 of Wikipedia's own page on the subject^[1]) do not support. Crinkle puca (talk) 11:14, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Partly done: While I see your point, the cited source (including a quote from Mustaine himself) specifically mentions conflict between Catholics and Protestants, not Republicans and Unionists, and I don't think the current wording makes it sound as if Wikipedia is suggesting it was solely a religious conflict. I did implement your other wording changes. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 14:59, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

From the Megadeth section, change

"This was the only time Megadeth and Metallica were on the same card, until 1991."

"This was the only time Megadeth and Metallica were on the same card, until 1993."

Megadeth and Metallica did not share the stage in 1991. After 1985 they wouldn't play the same show until Megadeth opened for Metallica at the Milton Keynes National Bowl in 1993. Davex2 (talk) 04:53, 7 October 2025 (UTC)
