Megadeth

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I liked Mustaine's voice best on Peace Sells... .

[ThrashMaster27]

I think he sounds best on Cryptic Writings. But for personal preference I'd say Peace Sells aswell.

[Deth]

Peace Sells has the best vocals IMO.

[Lord Abortion]

vocally countdown and rust in peace are best IMO

[Deth]

High Speed Dirt brings CTE down for me.

[btoto]

Vocally So Far So Good So What is the best.............IMO

[Lord Abortion]

High Speed Dirt brings CTE down for me.
how??

I love that song and even if it is a bit cheesy... psychotron more than makes up for it

[VicRattlehead99]

i would have to say that SFSGSWhas best vocals in my opinion

[VicRattlehead99]

High Speed Dirt brings CTE down for me.
i agree i just dislike that song but yes psycotron more than makes up for it.

[MAthiAS]

High Speed Dirt is one of my Deth favorites.... How can you not like it, its like Skin O My Teeth with more solos.

Best vocal album is Cryptic Writings... Dave's vocals are definitely better on the non thrash albums.

[RiceMonster]

High Speed Dirt brings CTE down for me.
:eek: I think that's one of the highlights! especially the bluesy part Marty does.

[VicRattlehead99]

i would say the highlights of that album are psycotron,symphony of destruction,countdown to extinction,and my personal favorite of the album ashes in youre mouth.

[IAJP]

Possibly my favourite song off CTE is Architecture Of Aggression, I like Symphony Of Destruction a lot too.

[ThrashMaster27]

My fave song from Countdown to Extinction is the title track. The chorus is a classic singalong. Saying that, I'm not a big fan of Countdown, it's one of my least fave 'Deth albums.

[IAJP]

Is it just me, or does that song sound frighteningly similar to a Nirvana song?
(The alternative version does...:confused: )

[ThrashMaster27]

It does? what Nirvana song?

Chris got slaughtered in the Guitarist poll, I'm not a happy man.

[IAJP]

I don't know.
Any Nirvana song really, what I'm getting at is the drawling vocals ("Endaaaaangers species caaaaaaaged in freight, shot iiiiiin cold blood no chaaaaance to fight") and the clean guitar banging out chords in the background.
It's reminiscent of a Nirvana song, I just can't put my finger on it...

[ThrashMaster27]

Can't say I notice anything remotely Nirvana in the song.

All go vote for Marty in the Guitarist poll.

[Deth]

Well, seems I'm the only one who doesn't like High Speed Dirt.

Pyschotron is good though.

[MAthiAS]

http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=331872
Vote Marty if you haven't already.

High Speed Dirt, Ashes In Your Mouth, and Foreclosure are my favorites off of CTE.

[Five Magics]

Skin 'O My Teeth, Architecture of Aggression, Countdown to Extinction, and Ashes in your Mouth are my favourites off CTE.

But does anyone think Ashes In Your Mouth could have easily been on Rust In Peace? The song just seems more progressive for CTE...

[Suicide_Punishment]

I think daves vocals are the best in RIP,

[MAthiAS]

Skin 'O My Teeth, Architecture of Aggression, Countdown to Extinction, and Ashes in your Mouth are my favourites off CTE.

But does anyone think Ashes In Your Mouth could have easily been on Rust In Peace? The song just seems more progressive for CTE...
That's why I like so much.

So... about the Gigantour second stage:
To give you a glimpse at who was submitted and seem to be in the running, they are Dry Kill Logic, Diecast, Otep, Overkill, Pain of Salvation, Taproot and Mike Portnoy’s recommendation, Symphony X.
I really hope he throws out Taproot and brings Symphony X, Overkill, and Testament.

[Deth]

Symphony X is the only one I would care to see. But the Main Stage makes up for that.

[VicRattlehead99]

That would be great it is going to alot like the clash of the titans concert they had with slayer,testament,and sucidal tendancies.

[MAthiAS]

Symphony X is the only one I would care to see. But the Main Stage makes up for that.
I'd see Overkill too of those.

**** Overkill and Symphony X could replace Fear Factory and Dillinger on the main stage and I'd be even more pleased with the tour.

[RustedPieces]

What's with Megadeth going on tour with these crappy death metal bands, like dillinger escape plan. Dream Theatre and Megadeth is all I'm looking forward to.

[IAJP]

The Dillenger Escape Plan aren't death metal.
I believe they prefer to be called "Math Metal"

/Me explains.

Literally adding time signatures up to create new weird and wacky ones, it's not a STYLE of music, but it is unique. Other Math Metaller's are Meshuggah.

[MAthiAS]

I have nothing wrong with Dillinger. Fear Factory I'm not huge on, but I can tolerate em. Taproot would soil the whole tour.

[DisposableHeroes]

What's with Megadeth going on tour with these crappy death metal bands, like dillinger escape plan. Dream Theatre and Megadeth is all I'm looking forward to.

There arent any death metal bands on the Gigantour

[vashts80]

I hope Overkill, Testament, and Symphony X are on Gigantour. That'd be pwnage to go along with DT, 'deth, and DEP. I've never heard any Nevermore.

[MAthiAS]

Nevermore is awesome, I haven't heard too much of their stuff but its really great from the select stuff I've had the privelege of hearing.

[playguitar]

The guitar teacher next to mine, at Stanroy music center is Steve Smyth. He is in Nevermore, and used to be in Testament.

[Six Foot Revolver]

I am sorry if this is old news but Megadeth are releasing a greatest hits album in the summer called 'Greatest:Back to the start'

[CaptainWaits]

I am sorry if this is old news but Megadeth are releasing a greatest hits album in the summer called 'Greatest:Back to the start'

Tis new news to me

[Six Foot Revolver]

That is summer over here in England mind so it may be earlier or later/non existant in America

[Deth]

We hardcore don't need no lousy Greatest Hits album.

[shortass]

Yeah well, I just thought you guys would like to know :upset:

[Deth]

Thanks though.

[MAthiAS]

Yes I knew that, but who cares. No new material going to be on it.

[Freezing Moon]

That article was really interesting, though I think the truth of it may be stretched a bit. It's good that Dave took the initiative to clear things up, but it seemed like he was bitching a lot of the time, especially about people not appologizing to him. He was putting himself above everyone else.

Through it all, TSHF was a great CD, and I just avoid Risk and that other crap. Good to know that it wasn't truly a 'Deth record.

[RiceMonster]

Yes I knew that, but who cares. No new material going to be on it.
Agreed. I'm not going to pick it up, it would pretty much be a waste of 20 bucks.

[Chu]

Hammett beat Friedman in the votes... That's just... Not right. :eek:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

That would be great it is going to alot like the clash of the titans concert they had with slayer,testament,and sucidal tendancies.
Err, Clash Of The Titans was Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax and Alice In Chains.

[Slayer_oF_Orks]

but it seemed like he was bitching a lot of the time, especially about people not appologizing to him. He was putting himself above everyone else.

**** man id be pissed to if i was in a band like metallica, that got huge a few years after I got kicked out for being to ****ed up all the time..

[Happy]

I wouldn't be pissed, id be happy that i created a better band.

[Chu]

I wouldn't be pissed, id be happy that i created a better band.
lol
I'd drink to that :chug:

[Arise II]

**** man id be pissed to if i was in a band like metallica, that got huge a few years after I got kicked out for being to ****ed up all the time..

Well, considering that he really was ****ed up all the friggin time, and he was ruiing it for everybody else, its no wonder he got kicked out. Hell, if I was in a band that had a chance of making it big, and one guy was always getting violent and never showing up for rehersals, I'd kick him out without thinking twice.



And Mustaine realy should stop bitching about them "stabbing him in the back". A lot of people get ****ed over by their so called friend at some point. But ya knw what? Most of us have the ablility to move on! He's already made more money and sen more parts of the world than most people ever will, he should stop being a litle bitch

[VicRattlehead99]

Dave Mustaine has already tried hooking back up with mettallica and doing a tour together but james said no it was going to be dave,dave E.,james and lars but metallica said no.so dave isnt being a bitch about it james is.

[ThrashMaster27]

Dave Mustaine has already tried hooking back up with mettallica and doing a tour together but james said no it was going to be dave,dave E.,james and lars but metallica said no.so dave isnt being a bitch about it james is.

That was only an idea that Dave came up with in 2001. James Hetfield never said no, cause he was never asked.

What's everyone big deal with this anyway? they've toured before already.

[VicRattlehead99]

Sorry i was told differently well that sucks it would have been a bad *** concert to go to.

[flamesofbodom]

Both bands should go on ozzfest. That would be the best ozzfest eva

[MAthiAS]

Both bands should go on ozzfest. That would be the best ozzfest eva
Where the hell have you been?
1) This year's Ozzfest is already the best Ozzfest ever.
2) Dave pwned it with Gigantour.
3) Hetfield sucks live.

[Deth]

Hetfield's good live, you're smoking the doobie.

But your other points are correct.

[vashts80]

I'd like to see Dave and Hetfield do dual vocals, tbh.

[MAthiAS]

Hetfield's voice sucks so much live. He never could sing in key, but now its clean so you can tell.

[Deth]

Yeah.....what are you basing this off? Because people who have you know, SEEN Metallica say differently. I went last November to a show and he was incredible. Time has only helped him.

[MAthiAS]

While I haven't wasted $55 on a Tallica concert, I've watched a fair amount of their recent live **** on the internet, and I know at least a dozen people who agree.

[Deth]

Well, judging from the fact you haven't gone to a Metallica concert, call it wasting money and have only seen (probably) bad quality stuff on the internet, why should your opinion matter?

[Huber]

While I haven't wasted $55 on a Tallica concert, I've watched a fair amount of their recent live **** on the internet, and I know at least a dozen people who agree.

Wasted? Even if you're not a Metallica fan, it's still some entertainment.

I think the live footage I've seen is great, but meh, it's not the kind of voice everyone can like anyways. I'm starting to like Dave's a lot better.

[RiceMonster]

Hetfield's voice sucks so much live. He never could sing in key, but now its clean so you can tell.
I actually agree with this.

[Arise II]

^^^ Tr00. I never did notice when I was at the concert last summer, but when I d/loaded (Oh Noes, now Lars ll come and get me :D) some of the songs off the bootleg from the same show, I could clearly hear how bad he was actually singing.

[MAthiAS]

Well, judging from the fact you call it wasting money and have only seen (probably) bad quality stuff on the internet, why should your opinion matter?
I call it wasting money because its ludicrous to pay $55+ to see a sell-out band with a washed-up singer, overrated guitarist, bitchy untalented drummer, and overlooked bassist when I saw Megadeth for $35.

And there are some good quality Tallica videos out there, its pretty easy to find em.

Wasted? Even if you're not a Metallica fan, it's still some entertainment.
Again, I'd rather go to two good metal shows than one mediocre one.

(Oh Noes, now Lars ll come and get me )
Nice, :smoke:

[Huber]

Yeah, the price is pretty lame.

[Lord Abortion]

hmm... not sure about hetfield sucking live...
i do prefer dave though
i want to see a huge megadeth live album in the style of binge+purge -I really like that album- one of the best metallica things

[Deth]

A big ol' live album by Deth would be cool. I don't have Rude Awakening.

[MAthiAS]

Definitely get Rude Awakening man, its great.

[VicRattlehead99]

It is but i have to disagree with you i say just watch cliff em all then say if they are bad or goodlive i think they are totally worth 55$

[VicRattlehead99]

And yeah get rude awakening that cd shows megadeth is better live listen to that then live **** then youll know why Mathias is saying metallica is so bad live.

[strangehighway101]

Rust in Peace owns

[RiceMonster]

Rust in Peace owns
I fixed that up to make it easier on everyone else's eyes. Please type in standard white font, anything else can be very annoying.

Also, Megadeth is defently amazing live. That's all I need to say, since I've brought up the Megadeth show I went to so many times.

[36Dritzlfists]

Rude Awakening was the first music DVD, I ever bought. It is such a great DVD. I had just gotten into Megadeth and playing guitar when it came out. It shows how much better Megadeth's Solos and guitar melodies are compared to Metallica.

[VicRattlehead99]

my first was cliff 'em all but i think being a bassist would be alot different if not for cliff so a memorial movie sounded great so i bought it.when rude awakening came out i bouht that as well,

[Deth]

The setlist looks a little weak though.

Plus, DVD or CD?

[btoto]

Hey everyone, don't forget to vote for Dave in 3rd round. Only 2 people can get through. I don't want him to lose. I already lost Becker and A.Smith :upset:

At least the money went to a good cause. :p

[Arise II]

Yup, after he stole Mustaine's guitars and sold them for drug money. The irony of it all, though, is that prior to his engagement in Megadeth, Chris didn't drugs 8at least not heavy ones).

I love that song! I had never heard it before I owned Rude Awakening and at first I didn't really care for it but it grew on me. It seemed to be an odd song to open the concert with, but I listened to it, and I thought it was an excellent song. My favorite line is "What's yours is mine, what's mine is mine too."

The Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) was a committee formed in 1985 by the wives of several congressmen.
I don't know if Dave meant that?
I have no idea about the lyrics behind Hook in Mouth :/
But you linked to In My Darkest Hour?

[vashts80]

Hook in Mouth is about KIMB, PS and then SFSGSW in the fact that the PMRC was made specifically to put the "Parental Advisory" sticker on music and movies etc. It's basically saying how the PMRC controls album covers with the Parental Advisory stickers etc and that they're assholes.

Ok easiest Megadeth riffs on guitar?
I'd say Peace Sells, I think it may be the spider technique, but I don't really know what that is, but yeah it's pretty easy, but effective riff in my opinion.

[MAthiAS]

Easiest Megadeth song? Sweating Bullets.

[whatduffhuck7]

i just learned looking down the cross today, not the easyist buy surly a easy song. maybe not to easy if your a real beginner. idk i love that song though.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Thanks for the video, Metal Guitar.

Easiest Megadeth riff would probably be the verse and chorus riffs in Peace Sells.

[Freezing Moon]

Symphony of Destruction intro is probably the easiest.

[ThrashMaster27]

Intro riff to Symphony of Destruction. Easiest song to play solos and all is Mechanix for me, althoughs it's probably not the easiest. Hardest to play with all the solos is probably Holy Wars. Mind you, I haven't tried doing every Megadeth song on Guitar.... I've never attempted all the solos in Hangar 18.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Okay, so we've done the easiest, so what would you guys consider the hardest riff/song?

I would say, for the whole song, Hanger 18. I think for riffs.... either Holy Wars or Rust in Peace... Polaris.

[MAthiAS]

Hardest solos, definitely Tornado of Souls and Hangar 18. Riffs, I haven't tried many, but I can play Holy Wars (with solos too, but not 100%) so I wouldn't say that.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Hmm, I could probably nail Holy Wars riff wise if I really practised hard, but I can't be bothered. I've only been playing 2 years anyway.

[ThrashMaster27]

I always find the little solo interlude in Hook In Mouth to be tricky. I can do that tapping part piss easy, but the part before it I can't seem to get right. It's very annoying!

[Mazeppa]

For me (I've been playing a year) the hardest riffs are in Take No Prisoners, and I can play Holy Wars without solos.

[VicRattlehead99]

For me(I have been playing for about six months)intro beat of symphony of destruction.

[VicRattlehead99]

Hey does anyone know whatplace dave came in the guitarist poll?

[Chu]

3rd I think.

[KittensInMicrowaves]

the riff towards the end of Five Magics and the following solo is nothing short of insane. all hail dave mustaine, king of riffing :thumb:

[VicRattlehead99]

Yes it was third that sucks is there going to be another poll?

[RustedPieces]

Well I do like Dave and I do think he's a good guitarist but theres so many more deserving people on there.

[MAthiAS]

For me (I've been playing a year) the hardest riffs are in Take No Prisoners, and I can play Holy Wars without solos.
I really don't think Take No Prisoners is very hard. At first its got some tricky riffs, but with some practice its just a really fun song to play, its fast and the riffs are interesting, but I don't think its that hard.

Well I do like Dave and I do think he's a good guitarist but theres so many more deserving people on there.
Like who? Dave's one of the most important and influencial guitarists in metal, and technically he pwns any classic rock guitarist.

[DisposableHeroes]

Mathias, i must ask who that is in your avatar, it looks kinda like Jason Newsted.

I think i oughta learn the Skin 'O My Teeth solo

[Huber]

I think Dave is really good. He's also the most metal person I can think of.

[MAthiAS]

Mathias, i must ask who that is in your avatar, it looks kinda like Jason Newsted.
Nah, I'd never put a Metallica member in my avatar, its Michael Stipe back when he had hair.

I think Dave is really good. He's also the most metal person I can think of.
A-****ing-men. Musically I put him up there just under Chuck Schuldiner, and as far as his life goes, the man defines metal.

[DisposableHeroes]

Dave can be quite a funny guy too

[Huber]

I found this page of Dave quotes one time. They were a riot.

[Six Foot Revolver]

He has also got an amazing voice

[Huber]

Yep, pretty awesome guy that Dave Mustaine...

[RustedPieces]

[DisposableHeroes]

What solos are his on RIP?

[Mazeppa]

I really don't think Take No Prisoners is very hard. At first its got some tricky riffs, but with some practice its just a really fun song to play, its fast and the riffs are interesting, but I don't think its that hard.

The first half is ok I can play that, but then after Dave sings "Burn" it gets really difficult.

[RustedPieces]

He does the last solo on Holy Wars

[Huber]

He does some on Hanger 18. I saw the live video on Launch. That's all I know.

[MAthiAS]

In Hangar 18 he does that one really fast tremolo one.

[Chu]

Nah, I'd never put a Metallica member in my avatar, its Michael Stipe back when he had hair.
Go back to your old avatar! That was cool :P

[DisposableHeroes]

hehe, the lyrics to Liar are a bit mean :p

[VicRattlehead99]

do you guys realize how ard it is to sing and keep a beat then turn around and pull off a solo that is why i think dave mustaine is is good plus he is so into his work he takes every thing so seriusly then afterwards can be the coolest dude there is.

Once you've played the songs as often as he has, and practiced as hard as he has it isn't that big an accomplishment. Also, Dave is probably one of the biggest assholes in the music business .

[Chu]

Dave is probably one of the biggest assholes in the music business .
How?

[munky_magik]

He talks such a load of **** and is generally a bastard to most people surrouding him.

[Chu]

He talks such a load of **** and is generally a bastard to most people surrouding him.
With reasin, I think.
But do you think you could give me an example of him talking ****? It's not that I doubt what you are saying, I really do respect your opinion, and trust you, but I haven't heard him talk **** or anything, so I'm kinda wondering if there's an example of this somewhere?

[munky_magik]

Well; You have all the times he's slagged of Slayer, Metallica etc...
The whole 'injured arm' ordeal, which he later said was just an excuse to disband the currentline up.
That Ellefson is an awful studio bassist that can't keep time.

Stuff like that.

[Chu]

That goes back to with reason I think.
I don't understand why he would slag Slayer, after all Kerry helped him get Megadeth on their feet, right?

Edit: Thanks man. Maybe he is a bit of an ******* :p
But he still is a pretty **** good musician.

[munky_magik]

There's been a massive feud between him and Slayer(mostly Kery King) for years now, I don't think anyone knows what it's about either.
I don't care what he's like, the man can write some hella mean riffage :cool:

[Happy]

Didn't he say he didn't want to argue with Metallica and Slayer after the death of Dimebag Darell?

[Chu]

Didn't he didn't want to argue over it anymore after the death of Dimebag Darell?
And he hasn't, or has he?
I guess the oppurtunity for him to argue with someone hasn't really come up since then.

[ThrashMaster27]

He never said Dave Ellefson was a bad studio Bassist, he actually defended him many times when the producer and Marty Friedman wanted him replaced.

[Five Magics]

all this talk about playing Megadeth songs, is it true to think that most Megadeth fans are musicians? Because there music can get very technical,not to say that there aren't any fans who don't play any music

[munky_magik]

He never said Dave Ellefson was a bad studio Bassist, he actually defended him many times when the producer and Marty Friedman wanted him replaced.
After he and Ellefson split he said that he couldn't keep time for ****.

[MAthiAS]

Once you've played the songs as often as he has, and practiced as hard as he has it isn't that big an accomplishment. Also, Dave is probably one of the biggest assholes in the music business .
Course you have to practice enough to get to that point though. I guess you could argue he wrote it so its gonna be easy for him, but hey, he writes killer riffs that's why he's awesome.

He might be an asshole, but I'd say he is one in the best possible sense of the word. A badass would be a better way to put it. Its not much of a coincidence that he was kicked out of Metallica and every Megadeth member over the years left.

[ThrashMaster27]

After he and Ellefson split he said that he couldn't keep time for ****.

Probably true. Still, doesn't stop him being a creative Bassist. A lot of people like Dave because of his attitude. I can't say it really bothers me really, I just think he's an amazing Guitarist.

Oh, do we have any Drummers here? I've recently picked up the drums and was wondering about a couple of the more easier 'Deth songs on Drums.

[Chu]

Rust in Peace...Polaris, for sure :p
On the remasters, Dave gives a little blurb about it (The demo version) and says the drum beat he wrote back in his 'Panic' days! Which says to me the guy could have been an accomplished drummer too.

[Deth]

With the feud between Mustaine and King, King is the one at fault. He even said in a recent magazine (I can't remember which) that Dave was a c0cksucker. That was his exact words.

[Sleeper]

There both amazing guitarists.

[VicRattlehead99]

Well does any one know what the fight between dave and king is about ?

[MAthiAS]

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=32802

That's what I could find on Mustaine vs. Slayer, from both perspectives. Dave doesn't really talk much about it though. Dave's a total badass in his interview though. Kerry comes off as a total hypocrite IMO, he says he doesn't care and then talks about it for a whole page.

[Huber]

Kerry King should just keep tape over his mouth.

[Chu]

There would be no sense in getting old members back, because if that happen then it would have to include David Ellefson (bass) and I shall never play with him again.
Bit harsh.

[MAthiAS]

Bit harsh.
That's not harsh, its not like he said "...and I'll never play with him again because he's a rhythmically impaired greedy asshole who can't write for **** and is every insult in Liar times two." He just said he wouldn't play with him again, didn't bash him.

Kerry King should just keep tape over his mouth.
And over his cueball.

[Chu]

And over his cueball.
I just finished both articles.
I guess it wasn't really that harsh, and they are musicians so yeah...
What is Ellefson doing these days anyway? I always thought he was a heaps good bassist.

I didn't really understand why King hates Mustaine?

[MAthiAS]

1) King hates everyone except Slipknot.
2) It seems they had an arguement at Clash of the Titans.
3) Apparently Mustaine said something about King sucking at guitar. (Truth hurts.)

[Chu]

Yes it does! :)

I can't see why people like Slipknot, to be honest, just not my thing.

[MAthiAS]

Yeah, I'd expect a thrash figurehead to hate Slipknot, but then again, King's an idiot.

[VicRattlehead99]

Yeah king is not much of a guitarist anyway and slipknot is to socialized for me to like there not that bad but little 8-10 year olds listen to slipknot i just cant stand that.
And Elfeson i heard is with soulfly now.

[Chu]

The old Slipknot, like Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat. I can listen to, I think it's their best work and they should have definately kept going in that direction, but I dunno.

[RustedPieces]

I can't stand Slipknot but Zakk Wylde said that their good musicians so i'll take his word for it.

[VicRattlehead99]

Really kerry king and zach wylde said slipknot was good a good band who else?

[RustedPieces]

Kerry King is an asshole.

[MAthiAS]

And while I respect Zakk as an artist, I don't agree with him that much.

[RustedPieces]

Same here

[KittensInMicrowaves]

Yeah king is not much of a guitarist anyway and slipknot is to socialized for me to like there not that bad but little 8-10 year olds listen to slipknot i just cant stand that.

I own every megadeth album, and I still like slipknot.... you're trying to diss a band by saying 8-10 yr olds listen to them, you realize that half the people on this board aren't even 18, you are a RETARD and you've probably heard exactly 2 slipknot songs in your life

[Arise II]

Yeah king is not much of a guitarist anyway and slipknot is to socialized for me to like there not that bad but little 8-10 year olds listen to slipknot i just cant stand that.

Nah, apparently, he's in some project called F5

[Lord Abortion]

kerry king DOES suck- hanneman does all the solos and **** in slayer

does ashes in my mouth sound like aces high by iron maiden in the middle or am i going mad???

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Hanneman doen't do all the solos. Although Hanneman writes all the good songs.

[Lord Abortion]

Hanneman doen't do all the solos. Although Hanneman writes all the good songs.

I stand corrected I only have reign in blood and seasons in the abyss :p

[ThrashMaster27]

The Seasons In The Abyss and Reign In Blood inlays show you who does which solo(s) on each song. I don't know how you got that logic messed up. Jeff writes the majority of their good songs. Kerry was better in the very early days when he had a spot of creativity about him.

[Lord Abortion]

my logic is messed up because I listned to my ex- guitarist, who hates kerry king

I never thought to contradict him...

[Deth]

kerry king DOES suck- hanneman does all the solos and **** in slayer

Never noticed the similarity if it's there.

Mustaine > King

Okay I infact own slipknot(self Titled)and vol#3 what i mean about the age thing is litte kids come to my school thinking that if they like slipknot they will be cool and i just dont like kids like slipknots an alright band with good solos for this day and age because no other bands on the radio and tv never really play solos and i give slipknot props for doing that there just not my favorite band

[VicRattlehead99]

Was Dave Friends with Dimebag Darrel or Zakk Wylde?

[KittensInMicrowaves]

Nor are they mine..... Megadeth is far superior in every aspect cept vocals maybe

I still need to buy The System Has Failed.... is it as good as I've heard?

[DisposableHeroes]

I'm going to lock myself in my room for a few hours, so what Megadeth solo tab should i take with me?

[VicRattlehead99]

Hmmmm.......Ashes in youre mouth

[VicRattlehead99]

Yeah it has a few good ones i particuly liked black mail the universe.

[MAthiAS]

Was Dave Friends with Dimebag Darrel or Zakk Wylde?
I'm pretty sure he was friends (or at least on good terms) with Dimebag, don't know about Zakk. Zakk and Dave and King are all similar in a way of attitude, but Dave's way smarter than the other two.

[RustedPieces]

I'm pretty sure Dave and Zakk didn't hate eachother but when Mustaine made fun of Kerry King it got Zakk mad.

[Huber]

Were Dave and Zakk ever in bands or tour with eachother or something?

[RustedPieces]

No bands. As for tours i'm not sure

[MAthiAS]

Megadeth was on Ozzfest 98.

[Crysiss]

megadeth rocks

[KittensInMicrowaves]

hey new topic:

we all love Megadeth, but we all have to admit, they make the occasional ridiculously cheesy song, with that in mind, what is your fave "cheese" song by Megadeth? you can choose something from Risk, but its not encouraged, because most of the album was cheesy.....

mine is Psychotron... oh man, the lyrics crack me up everytime I hear it:

part bionic
and organic
not a cyborg
call him psychotron!!!!!!

:lol:

Nice.

[Hevy Tred]

Does anyone else think megadeth makes the WORST videos ever? i mean peace sells, was practically daves mouth for 5 minuets, then sweating bullets... i try to forget it..

I wont doubt that megadeth is my favorite band, but the videos just... suck!

[RustedPieces]

Die Dead Enough was pretty cheap looking.

[Hevy Tred]

Go download Sweating bullets, and buckle your seatbelt for the funniest 5 minuets since watching retarded people battle to the death

[Freezing Moon]

I like the Holy Wars, and Hangar 18 (kind of) videos, but yes, everything else pretty much sucks. Especially Sweating Bullets, ugh.

[RustedPieces]

Yeah i've seen it.

[Huber]

What's the Mechanix remix 2002? I've never heard it.

[vashts80]

I thought the Sweating Bullets video was actually pretty funny in the sense of what the song was about.

[Deth]

Yeah, he even asked Darrell into the band in 1989, plus he hosted Headbangers Ball in his memory after he died.

[Hevy Tred]

What's the Mechanix remix 2002? I've never heard it.


Mechanix IS, in all reality, The four horsemen (by metallica) only played much faster

[Deth]

I think the remix is just the remasteredd version of the re-released version of KIMB, so it's just a better sounding version of it.

[Hevy Tred]

Im listeing to KIMB right now, (straight off the cassett) and it sounds great to me, what was remastered?

[Deth]

Just re-EQ'ed and stuff I believe, plus it had some demos on it. The same treatment that the rest of the albums got.

[Hevy Tred]

Oh i see, i was hoping they didnt reverb it to death (wich has happend before)

[Deth]

Everything sounds much better on the re-releases, and I give Dave credit, he did a great job.

[clairvoyant]

A Tout Le Monde was a GREAT video.

But the rest suck, Trust and Symphony Of Destruction are average...

[MAthiAS]

Train of Consequences, Of Mice and Men, Wake Up Dead, and Peace Sells had awesome videos. Die Dead Enough and Sweating Bullets on the other hand...

[KittensInMicrowaves]

Holy Wars video is incredible

[Freezing Moon]

Train of Consequences, Of Mice and Men, Wake Up Dead, and Peace Sells had awesome videos. Die Dead Enough and Sweating Bullets on the other hand...

Oh yeah, I forgot about the Wake up Dead video. That's the one where the fans are breaking down the fence right? If so, great video. I haven't seen Of Mice and Men, but the song is cool.
