AN American rocker has reflected on the riot he started at a gig in Antrim during the Troubles - that led him to write one of his biggest hits.

Megadeth singer Dave Mustaine said it was like he had "set off a bomb in the audience" when he dedicated a song to 'the cause' even though he had no clue about politics here.
