Megadeth

[FlyingPaul_83]

The solos for Hangar 18 are hard as hell. **** you Marty!


Has anyone ever tried the tremolo solo on hangar 18? It sounds tough, i ma be able to do it, but it will be all crappy, im gonna go try it.

[Lord Abortion]

I will stick it up if we ever get a version recorded
but I dunno if my guitarists are good enough

I plan on covering at least one 'deth song though

anyone got any ides for easier ones- cause we have alot of stuff to learn...

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Maybe Wake Up Dead or Peace Sells?

[Lord Abortion]

wake up dead would be better...

peace sells is overdone

[Happy]

Do Devil's Island

[MAthiAS]

Any of the first four tracks on Peace Sells would be good.

[Drone]

So...today I found out that if Gigantour comes close enough to me, my Dad will drive me and one of my friends to it. I just have a couple of questions, seeing as how it has more than one stage, would that mean that the crowd area would be just one big mosh pit (one for each stage), or would there be some seats available? Or, would this depend on the venue? If the giant mosh pit is the scenario, would any of you with experience be able to tell me some tips for "moshing" ? I am 18 years old, 6'2, 185 pounds and such. I just don't want to be killed in the mosh pit, because that is the only thing stopping me from going to see my favorite band of all time!! Sorry if this post didn't make much sense :(.

[Happy]

If you're 6"2 and 185 pounds you'll be fine. I'm 5"8 and 126 pounds and I've never been hurt in a moshpit.

[Deth]

You will be wailing on everyone else like no ones business.

[vashts80]

I'll be 14 in November and hopefullly it comes to Philly, because Philly is a shorter drive than Camden...I'm 5ft 10 and 225-230..I wear glasses. Any tips on how to not get killed? lmao.

My band did Holy Wars

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Wake Up Dead would also be easier because there aren't many vocals.

[GraveRobbersINC]

My band is going to do Peace Sells, I don't know where you guys are at ability wise but like Vio-lence said Wake Up Dead is a pretty good song to try.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've only been playing two years. I can play some of their harder riffs if I'm nice and warmed up. Not going to go near solos yet.

[GraveRobbersINC]

I've only been playing two years. I can play some of their harder riffs if I'm nice and warmed up. Not going to go near solos yet.
I think it really depends on the album, don't sell yourself short, the first solo in Peace Sells only took me about 15 to get down (still getting it perfect) and I've been playing for less than you.

[Lord Abortion]

symphony of destruction might be cool to do

[MAthiAS]

My band did Sweating Bullets, fun and easy song to play and sing and whatnot.

[Lord Abortion]

given that is one of my favourite 'deth songs
I may do that...

[VicRattlehead99]

My band has done A tout la monde the solo is pretty hard

This will probably be my last post for the summer peace guys! :upset:

[RustedPieces]

The A Tout le Monde solo isn't that hard. I can play all of it, except that sweep picking part at the end

[MAthiAS]

Is my avatar too small to tell what it is?

[Huber]

Dudes with Light-sabers?

[Lord Abortion]

these are the last words I'll ever speak
and they'll set me free...

[RustedPieces]

I love the She-Wolf that Megadeth plays live. When I saw them live they didn't play it so that sucked. But the show was still incredible. Hangar 18 and Holy Wars were amazing.

[NecronomeKon]

Seeing as Megadeth is a great band, I decided to start a thread for them. Hopefully this will get cough*official*cough. So the next Megadeth album is out in September. Do you think they will have a tour to go with it? I really want to see them live.
Mustaine Is a True DEMON and excellent Guitarist. Also surrounded by Excellent bandmembers. Peace Sells and Rust in Peace are essential Thrash Metal albums. :evil:

[MAthiAS]

Dudes with Light-sabers?
Its the picture of Megadeth from Youthanasia, with lightsabers added in.

[RustedPieces]

Its the picture of Megadeth from Youthanasia, with lightsabers added in.

:lol:

[Shattered_Future]

I love the She-Wolf that Megadeth plays live. When I saw them live they didn't play it so that sucked. But the show was still incredible. Hangar 18 and Holy Wars were amazing.

Speaking of live Megadeth, i may be going to the Gigatour if my friend gets tickets...

Is Megadeth headlining or supporting? If they are, i need to get some more stuff by them.

[clairvoyant]

Speaking of live Megadeth, i may be going to the Gigatour if my friend gets tickets...

They are co-headlining along with Dream Theater.

What albums do you have by them?

[Deth]

Hmmm...guess I can't make it out then. Nice idea though.

[RustedPieces]

September 3rd, Gigantour in Toronto! Can't wait!!!

[Lord Abortion]

bloody shattered future and his sexy avatar!

/losing concentration

mmm... finland

[RustedPieces]

Awesome. There's a contest where you can win a DV-8 and 2 backstage passes for Gigantour.

[MAthiAS]

Awesome. There's a contest where you can win a DV-8 and 2 backstage passes for Gigantour.
Yep, that'd be sick to win it. However unlikely...

[Apocalyptic Raids]

It would be cool to have a DV-8, although I'd rather a Jackson King V or RR5.

Actually, for anyone in here who has a v-shaped guitar, I am guessing you can play just as good standing up? I can't :(. I can only play really good when sitting down with my Warlock.

[Drone]

Gigantour is going to Montreal! I can go!!! Now I just need to wait for the tickets to come out...

[RustedPieces]

So... has anyone here played the "Axxion"?

[MAthiAS]

It would be cool to have a DV-8, although I'd rather a Jackson King V or RR5.
/has an RR5
/is considering selling it to buy a DV8 or KV2

IMO the Axxion is **** ugly.

[Huber]

/has an RR5
/is considering selling it to buy a DV8 or KV2

IMO the Axxion is **** ugly.

Definetly, DV8's look way better.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah, the Axxion looks pretty crap and he didn't use it live when I saw them.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I think that the axxion looks very cool. It's a new design and it is cooler than most shapes out there IMO.

[Deth]

I hate the look of the axxion. Not to mention the crappy name of it.

[Lord Abortion]

so...

I seem to be the only one who does not know one end of a guitar from the other

[Deth]

One end is pointy, if that helps.

[thegreatsouthrentrendkill]

One end is pointy, if that helps.

not always...

[Deth]

Well, thiner than the rest.

[MAthiAS]

I was cruising the Gigantour site and noticed how many of the other bands fans are there. This is going to be very kewl because I believe you will meet and make new friends or get some good sparring in. I personally hope the former.

I have also confirmed another band for the Stage 2 and that announcement will come later today. I am also thinking about adding another band to each stage, which could mean moving someone from Stage 2 to Stage 1, and I also have my sight on a really kewl new school band that does old school metal (actually two), and a veteran act for Stage 2.

Stay tuned, its gonna get real busy here before we leave for Europe on Monday morning. We are going to change our set list up for this summer (we have to in some places because we have less time than when we headline) and I think you will be surprised because they are some older songs. And I can't wait to see all of you awesome Droogies and She-Wolves again real soon.
Sounding a bit more like Dave...

[RustedPieces]

I hate the look of the axxion. Not to mention the crappy name of it.
I think the name is kind of cool. In case you didn't know its pronounced "Action" and the XX's represent 20 years of Megadeth.

[Deth]

I did not know either of those things. Still, just writing axxion makes me feel stupid.

[Arise II]

I want this

http://espguitars.com/images/gallery/dv8graphic.jpg

And anyone who doesn't recognise where the graphics are from is a total poseur

[GraveRobbersINC]

It's from TSHF right, and why does Dave not have tremolo bars on any of his guitars anymore!

[Deth]

That is one awesome guitar. I want a RIP one though.

[MAthiAS]

I like this one http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/fg=102/g=home/search/detail/base_pid/516765/
And the all white one

[Deth]

I prefer the white one myself. For some reason I'm not really a fan of sunburst finishes unless they are really good.

[vashts80]

If I was going to get the DV8, I'd try and get the BTU themed one. That one is awesome.

[MAthiAS]

If I was going to get the DV8, I'd try and get the BTU themed one. That one is awesome.
That's custom ESP dude, you can't get it without shelling out a ton of cash. And IMO the BTU looks like shat.

[RustedPieces]

I love the V Dave uses in Rude Awakening.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I always liked his Jacksons better.

[onobighurt]

It would be cool to have a DV-8, although I'd rather a Jackson King V or RR5.

Actually, for anyone in here who has a v-shaped guitar, I am guessing you can play just as good standing up? I can't :(. I can only play really good when sitting down with my Warlock.
:thumb: ive got an rr5 and i can play standing up. it just takes practice and comfort

[MAthiAS]

I always liked his Jacksons better.
I think it is a Jackson in Rude Awakening. Could be wrong though.

ive got an rr5 and i can play standing up. it just takes practice and comfort
Could you do me a favor and post a picture of its fretboard? I need to see if something is off on mine.

[Happy]

I think it is a Jackson in Rude Awakening. Could be wrong though.



It definately is. Love the "shut up!" next to the pickups.

[vashts80]

Life of Agony and Bobaflex have both been confirmed as the next two Stage 2 bands. We're waiting for one more band ("new school band that does old school metal") and maybe another if Dave moves one of the 2nd stage bands to the first stage.

This is shaping up to be an awesome festival, I need to get tickets to the Atlantic City show in August.

[RustedPieces]

It definately is. Love the "shut up!" next to the pickups.
Yeah that's what my avatar is.

[Suicide_Punishment]

Do you guys Think Youthanasia,Risk,and cryptic writings is worth getting ? There on sale at Hmv but dont know if it's worth it....i havent heard anything off them


*Edit* Just donwloaded Crush Em....All i can say is :confused:

[Cunha]

Do you guys Think Youthanasia,Risk,and cryptic writings is worth getting ? There on sale at Hmv but dont know if it's worth it....i havent heard anything off them

I would get Youthanasia and skip on those other 2.

[Dude3]

I should hopefully be seeing Megadeth on Gigantour this year. Just curious,
What is usually in their setlist?

[FlyingPaul_83]

is it worth driving 7-8 hours to see megadeth and dream theaTER

[Dash]

Im thinking of buying a dave mustaine signature ltd black flying v for $1000, has anyone had one, are they good?

[RustedPieces]

I should hopefully be seeing Megadeth on Gigantour this year. Just curious,
What is usually in their setlist?
Dave said that they're changing their setlist for the summer, and that its going to be surprising because a lot of them are old songs.

[GraveRobbersINC]

I would get Youthanasia and skip on those other 2.
I like Cryptic Writings, I don't know about Risk I've never heard it.

[Happy]

I'd say get all of Megadeth's albums. I find i like all of Megadeth's songs.

[NoHero9]

I have been away from mx for ages, I didnt know there was an official megadeth thread, or I would have posted aplenty, for Megadeth is life for me, easily my favorite band.

As for the albums, yes definitely get them, I have all the albums and listen to them all regularly. I just wish I had the remixed and remastered version of Youthanasia, I want Absolution, If anyone has a link or something for it, or even a powertab, or something, please let me know A.S.A.P!!

[Five Magics]

Do you guys Think Youthanasia,Risk,and cryptic writings is worth getting ? There on sale at Hmv but dont know if it's worth it....i havent heard anything off them


*Edit* Just donwloaded Crush Em....All i can say is :confused:

I would get all of them if you can, Cryptic Writings is easily Megadeth's most underrated album, and I actually like Crush'em, it's not really Megadeth as we know it but it is still a good tune, remember the album was named "Risk" for a reason

[MAthiAS]

They're adding Rattlehead and another RIP song to the setlist, hopefully Five Magics!!

[RustedPieces]

They're adding Rattlehead and another RIP song to the setlist, hopefully Five Magics!!
Yeah I just read that too.

[Happy]

Five Magics, sweet. I hope they play Take No Prisoners+ that setlist at Download.

[FlyingPaul_83]

They're adding Rattlehead and another RIP song to the setlist, hopefully Five Magics!!


that would be cool if they added five magics, my favorite song at the moment

[NoHero9]

good mourning/black friday will remain in my heart forever. I love playing it, as well.

[RustedPieces]

Guys, we should do what they're doing the the Metallica forums. Make a cover of a Megadeth song. Get one person to do drums, another for rhythm, another for lead etc.. We're trying to get all the Official threads to do this.

[MAthiAS]

I would do Holy Wars... but my sound card is so bad I can't record anything audible.

[Dude3]

Guys, we should do what they're doing the the Metallica forums. Make a cover of a Megadeth song. Get one person to do drums, another for rhythm, another for lead etc.. We're trying to get all the Official threads to do this.
Yeah, their doing it in the Tool thread too. It sounds awesome.
I could contribute some guitar to the thing. I don't know much Megadeth, but I could definately learn it.
Do we have people who could contribute other instruments?

[Deth]

I would do bass, but I've already pledged myself to the Opeth thread. Sorry guys.

[Thor]

I would do bass, but I've already pledged myself to the Opeth thread. Sorry guys.
Yeah that's too bad. I think it's a good rule to say that you can only work with one band.

[Deth]

I agree to that.

[Dude3]

What song should we do? I know we have a while until we decide this, but what the heck.

[RustedPieces]

Sorry but I can't record at all until the summer gets going. But for easy songs you could do Sweating Bullets, Symphony of Destruction, Dread and the Fugitive Mind, or She-wolf.

[NoHero9]

I know loads of megadeth, Rythm, some mustaine solos, if I figure out how to record **** and upload it I would love to do this, im in for any action, once i figure out the recording sh'it.


edit: I can do all of sweating bullets, and She wolf, rude awakening version, love the solo. devil's Island, although I must still learn Chris polands solo. I dont know, I just know lots.

[MAthiAS]

I could do guitar parts for Holy Wars or Take No Prisoners, Sweating Bullets too, I'd have to relearn the solo though. I'd have to record it with my friend's 8-track.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Hmm, well I don't really have much of an idea when it comes to recording, and I can guarentee my sound would be ****.

[Mr.P.]

I could do bass, I know lots of Megadeth but my amp and microphone are both pretty ****ty

[Five Magics]

I basically know every Megadeth song on the drums, I would love to do Holy Wars...or even Five Magics!!, but I got to get a recording thing on my comp. and firgure out how to upload it. Does anyone know how to upload a song onto here?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Have a look in Ramsey's Metal Competition thread, there is a link to a free recording program there.

[NoHero9]

alright, now that I can record and upload, I would be thrilled to do a cover, lets decide on a song, I could do rythm guitar, some leads, and give vocals a good shot, maybe. I look like dave mustaine, why not try to sing like him? :)

[RustedPieces]

I'd like to see KIMB, Hangar 18 (if you can pull it off), and Holy Wars.

[MegaMustaine]

Does anyone here know the She-Wolf Rude Awakening version. I was wondering if that would be extrememly difficult for a 1 1/2 year player to play, i can mostly only play rythm megadeth such as the classics (Holy Wars ect.) but I'm wondering how difficult it would be for me to take on all of the little lead parts in the Rude Awakening version.

Obviously that stuff looks difficult, but I just don't know how difficult until I try it.

[RustedPieces]

Mustaine's solos are not that hard, but I have never tried the other ones.

[fatbandit]

Righto. I play bass. I want to be in with the R&M official threads competition. I got ousted from Metallica, so I wouldn't mind doing some Megadeth. Unfortunately, I've not really listened to much. So if you guys want to enter the competition, consider me for bass duties, hehe. I'd have to be sent the song to learn (if the Met thread does the Four Horsemen, how about Mechanix? :lol: )

Anyway. Your call people.

If your thread's band are interested, hit me up on MSN: dark____nation@hotmail.com (4 underscores). From there, we can discuss my ability and recording etc, yus? :)

Cheers!

:smash:

[RustedPieces]

So if NoHero9 is doing the rhythm and possibly lead and vocals, and fatbandit is doing bass, that means you just need a drummer. Any drummers in here?

[Five Magics]

I can basically play any Megadeth tune on the drums, which songs are we to do? and how are we going to pull this off? Furthermore, how do we import the recordings onto here?

[RustedPieces]

which songs are we to do?
You can do whatever song you want, but remember its a competition so you might want to pick a challenging song.

and how are we going to pull this off?
Just find a bunch of guys that can play good.

how do we import the recordings onto here?
Well just say someone does rhythm guitar, they can send you the file and you can record drums over it, then you send it to the person doing lead or whatever. You can just send it to them through e-mail or something, or put it on http://www.yousendit.com.

[fatbandit]

Right... Basically, if everyone picks the same song, and everyone records themselves playing along to the same CD version of it, it should eb easy to put together, right?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

What song are you going to do?

[fatbandit]

Hehe, I wouldn't know. I don't know any Megadeth... I'm waiting for people to get into gear to suggest songs and send them to me so I can learn something!

[RustedPieces]

I would like to see you guys do Killing Is My Business. Fatbandit, if you need to hear it heres the link:
http://s51.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=14OG4AF8LEH2F02A0SWY1ZBCEV

[Five Magics]

I would like to see you guys do Killing Is My Business. Fatbandit, if you need to hear it heres the link:
http://s51.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=14OG4AF8LEH2F02A0SWY1ZBCEV

Killing is my Business....that would be sweet. First off, who knows any 'deth song on guitar, bass, and vocals?...I was thinking of doing either Holy Wars, Wake Up Dead, or Ashes in Your Mouth. If anyone has any other ideas of what we should be play and can play, just name them.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Peace Sell would be a good one. Not too hard.

[Mr.P.]

Trust, Take No Prisoners, My Last Words or Peace Sells would be pretty kickass, and I know them all on bass.

[MegaMustaine]

Yeah Mr.P you guys should do Take No Prisoners, and the obvious choices which are Holy Wars, and Hangar 18.

[FlyingPaul_83]

Five magics, Take no prisoners, hangar 18

[acefrehleyjendell]

If anyone's seeing Megadeth on their up-coming european tour, look out
for the support band Dungeon, they kick major ***, probably the best Australian metal band ever.

[vashts80]

I know most of the Megadeth songs in the vocal department, but I'm like, the shittiest singer ever. :\

[RustedPieces]

I know most of the Megadeth songs in the vocal department, but I'm like, the shittiest singer ever. :\
Well its better then no vocals.

[MAthiAS]

I could do Holy Wars or Take No Prisoners on guitar. Maybe we could try and get some rough tracks at least up here this weekend to see what we've got going.

[RustedPieces]

If you guys did Take No Prisoners and pull it off I would be impressed.

[Sausage_Wielder]

Are you going to do vocals or leave those out?

[fatbandit]

Well, give me a song still, and I'll have a look at it, but as long as we remain undecided, its going to be hard.

[MAthiAS]

How long do we have to do this thing?

[fatbandit]

I'm not sure. I'd need something generous to learn a Megadeth song from scratch anyway, a few days probably, without a big run at it (exam time next week). I think we'll have enough time though, I don't think the other threads are doing too well in this stage either.

[MAthiAS]

I've got exams coming up in a couple weeks, so maybe I can squeeze in a recording before them or after them I'll have loads of time.

[fatbandit]

Right, well I'll buy a Megadeth CD soon to get listening to some of these tracks. Suggestions?

[MAthiAS]

Rust in Peace

[MegaMustaine]

Yeah, basically everything people are suggesting is from RIP.

Referring to Alice_In_Chains, I don't understand how you guys responded to his question. Vocals- Yes? No?

[FlyingPaul_83]

Right, well I'll buy a Megadeth CD soon to get listening to some of these tracks. Suggestions?

Rust in peace or peace sells...but who's buying :thumb:

[LarsAgi007]

I have just bought my first Megadeth CD a few days ago, I cannot think of mind what CD it is, it has 1000 times goodbye on it, Promises, I think 11 tracks, A really good album though :thumb:

[Six Foot Revolver]

Right, well I'll buy a Megadeth CD soon to get listening to some of these tracks. Suggestions?
Countdown to Extinction is the album that got me into them :thumb:

[LarsAgi007]

The World Needs A Hero.

Yes, thats the one.. Its really good, Mustain is more skilled on guitar than I thought... Are any of his solos faster than the ones on the album I have do you know? Not that its important or anything...

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I have just bought my first Megadeth CD a few days ago, I cannot think of mind what CD it is, it has 1000 times goodbye on it, Promises, I think 11 tracks, A really good album though :thumb:
Nice, I love Return To Hanger. If you haven't already, try get a song called Hanger 18, and spot the similarities. :D

[Lateralias]

I didn't like Return to Hanger 18 on Rude Awakening DVD... kinda ruined Hanger 18 for me... they didn't flow well together for some reason

[ThrashMaster27]

Hmmm, I'm not too keen on The World Needs A Hero. Probably not the best album to get started on Megadeth. Return To Hangar is a borefest for me until the breakdown and I agree it does kind of spoil Hangar 18.

Yes, Daves soloing is faster in earlier albums, but not quite as good if you ask me.

[Lord Abortion]

Right, well I'll buy a Megadeth CD soon to get listening to some of these tracks. Suggestions?
rust in peace or countdown to extinction

oh and mathias... loving the cloud-ness :thumb:

[Echleon]

I got PSBWB on Thursday.

My third 'Deth album after RIP and CTE.

[RustedPieces]

I didn't like Return to Hanger 18 on Rude Awakening DVD... kinda ruined Hanger 18 for me... they didn't flow well together for some reason
Why does everyone spell it 'Hanger' its 'Hangar'

[Lord Abortion]

would love to join the music

but already singing for the maidenthread

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Right, well I'll buy a Megadeth CD soon to get listening to some of these tracks. Suggestions?
Dude, why enter for Megadeth when you aren't very familiar with them?

[ThrashMaster27]

Why does everyone spell it 'Hanger' its 'Hangar'

I suppose it's much like Metallica fans spelling Kirks Hammett's name wrong.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

When people say "Hangar", it sounds like "Hanger".

For me anyway :D

[MegaMustaine]

No one answered my question

recording- will there be a person singing the lyrics? or is it just instrumental?

[RustedPieces]

No one answered my question

recording- will there be a person singing the lyrics? or is it just instrumental?
No one knows yet.

[fatbandit]

I boughts me Rust In Peace today. Just on my first listen through.

Mustaine's vocals remind me of Patton's singing vioce sometimes.

[RustedPieces]

That's an amazing CD. Probably the best thrash CD I know of.

[Knifeboy]

Are you guys doing a cover for the cover competition? I'd love to do vocals for a megadeth song

[FlyingPaul_83]

I boughts me Rust In Peace today. Just on my first listen through.

listen to five magics, incredible song.

[MAthiAS]

Are you guys doing a cover for the cover competition? I'd love to do vocals for a megadeth song
Yeah, hopefully Take No Prisoners

[RustedPieces]

Why dont you guys get started then?

[Knifeboy]

Yeah, hopefully Take No Prisoners


Good good.. Do you need vocals?

[MAthiAS]

Why dont you guys get started then?
I would, but I can't record at home.
Good good.. Do you need vocals?
It'd be good to have em.

[Knifeboy]

Consider me in

[RustedPieces]

You guys only have until July 1st so you might want to hurry up.

[fatbandit]

Right, looks like I'm back with the 'Tallica lads. I believe there'll be someone else in here to play bass though?

[MAthiAS]

Here's an interview with Dave you guys might like. Nothing really new said, but its kind of cool. At the end he talks about the undecided future of Megadeth. http://www.rattleheadhq.com/news.html

[RustedPieces]

That was cool. Thanks.

[MAthiAS]

****, my drummer is sick, maybe with mono, this will make it tough for me to get recording soon. I should be able to make the deadline though, I'll have at least a week without school or exams before the deadline.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Who is doing what?

[MAthiAS]

No clue really, just I'm planning to record the guitar. Or at least some of it.

[Five Magics]

how do put your part on here?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

No clue really, just I'm planning to record the guitar. Or at least some of it.
lol, I would be up for Peace Sells rythm. I wouldn't be able to play Take No Prisoners well enough.

[RustedPieces]

how do put your part on here?
You record it and then you put it on http://www.yousendit.com and you put the link on here.

[MAthiAS]

Awesome, I've got recording capabilities from home now. While my tone isn't amazing, its listenable. I'm working on getting Take No Prisoners done. I'll definitely get that done this weekend, if not tonight, and if possible I'll do Holy Wars.

Oh yeah, I'd be up for learning Peace Sells leads this weekend too.

Damn that first sweep part in the Take No Prisoners solo is tough for me to nail, its the only part of the song that's really going to require a lot of takes for me.

[FlyingPaul_83]

What program do you use to record?

[Deth]

Since fatbandit has gone, do you need a bassist?

/not so subtle hint

[MAthiAS]

What program do you use to record?
Audacity

Creeping Deth, you're welcome to do the bass parts if you're up to it :)

[Deth]

What song are you doing? I can learn whatever it is and have the recordings up by Monday or Tuesday, no problem.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I think they are doing take no prisoners

[Deth]

Can be done.

I'll have to play with a pick though, for that Jr. sound.

God I hate picks.

[MAthiAS]

Yeah, Take No Prisoners is for sure right now. Peace Sells and Holy Wars might come together though.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I am most certainly up for Peace Sells, just tell me when you finish getting Take No Prisoners organised.

[MAthiAS]

There's one of my attempts at Take No Prisoners, its not perfect, and the tone takes away from the piece a little bit. I'm going to record some more takes, but if someone wants to record drums or bass or whatever, that one will work.

I really screwed up the first two phrases of the solo :lol: That bend is so off :lol:

[FlyingPaul_83]

you're better than I'll ever be.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Great playing Mathias. Although the sound was pretty crappy. I would suggest way less mids, and maybe a little less bass.

:thumb:

[MAthiAS]

The funny thing is the mids were already fairly scooped. I definitely need to turn the bass down some though, you're right about that. The bass kind of breaks up the recording. Course, its not going to be great quality considering my setup, unless I can record at my drummer's place. That might not be possible for a while though.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

ahhh, I figured the mids would be way up. haha. I guess more treble in that case. What is your setup?

[Metallogy]

I suggest trying the DS – 1 Distortion Pedal by Boss, it can provide a great range of tones, especially for thrash metal and when you’re playing through a tube amp it’s great as a pre-amp.

It’s not that toneless fuzz distortion that takes away musically like many pedals a la Metal Zone. The tone know on it will allow u to boost your treble or bass cutting the other end of the EQ ranging from many different tones. Just try it out at a music shop, and it’s a steal for 70$, you can do so much with this pedal.

Also I’m seeing Megadeth on the Gigantour! I can’t fcuking wait! Anyone else going?

Some of the rythm parts were a little off. And it seems like there's a little bit of clipping going on, turn down your levels... Other than that, wow.. I wish I could play like you

I have one, and believe it or not the tone was much worse using it.

What is your setup?
Schecter C-1 Classic --> Line 6 Spider II --> Mic Input

Some of the rythm parts were a little off. And it seems like there's a little bit of clipping going on, turn down your levels...
Yeah, now I realize how important a Compressor is. I'm going to record some more takes today and try to clean it up a bit.

Also I’m seeing Megadeth on the Gigantour! I can’t fcuking wait! Anyone else going?
August 24, section 302.

[FlyingPaul_83]

tickets go on sale in about 20 minutes for my showing:

July 30th

[RustedPieces]

Yeah there is clipping. Too much bass I think is the problem. But that was kick *** man.
Was it you that said they were going to sing Knifeboy?

[MAthiAS]

http://s44.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=17R248FV42SXT10I5PCJYITK5T
There's one I did today. I cut back on the bass and mids a bit, and gave a slight boost to the treble. Let me know what you think of it. I'm still not 100% satisfied with my playing though, but it'll come.

[RustedPieces]

Listening to it...
The tone is much much better...
The playing is pretty amazing but it has some minor rough areas...
Overall its really good.

[Deth]

Mustaine uses a tone with lots of mids, so if that helps, that's good.

On another note, good news and bad news:

Good News: I now have the adapter to record, so no problems there.

Bad News: My pick skills are in disarray and TNP is harder than anticipated. I'm pulling double duty with Opeth, and they have the higher priority. So.....my bass tracks will be up on Wendesday or Thursday.

EDIT: I would download that recording Mathias, but I'm on dialup, and that file is pretty big. Could you compress it or something.

Much appreciated.

[MAthiAS]

Bad News: My pick skills are in disarray and TNP is harder than anticipated. I'm pulling double duty with Opeth, and they have the higher priority. So.....my bass tracks will be up on Wendesday or Thursday.
Face in the Sky said he could do the bass parts, so if that's going to be a problem for you, you could pass it off to him.
The playing is pretty amazing but it has some minor rough areas...
Yeah, there are a couple sloppy spots, I might try to clean it up some more, especially the second part of the solo. But if someone records other parts on there I can live with it.

I'm starting to record Holy Wars tonight too, I'll probably have a recording up either tonight or tomorrow. I had one recording where I nailed Mustaine's solo, but tried to improvise Marty's clean one and failed miserably :lol:

[FlyingPaul_83]

I have good news. My cousins mom(my aunt) might give me a free ticket for the gigantour. If not then I'll just buy one myself.





(worthless post.)

[Chu]

Grr, I really wanna hear Mathias :p
But 18mb.. :o
Compress...!!

[clown_phobia]

I'm listening to Holy wars... i'd say they're one of the best thrash bands easily!

They're not that heavy in my opinion but the lead guitar is good, and the riffs are quality.

[FlyingPaul_83]

can you guys pull off Five magics?

[always4satan]

yeah they're tour i bet you ****ers are happy. but you know dream theater is going to blow them off the stage. megadeth doesn't even have an original member besides dave mustaine and he's crippled. so **** it. they're both getting the same set length

[Apocalyptic Raids]

yeah they're tour i bet you ****ers are happy. but you know dream theater is going to blow them off the stage. megadeth doesn't even have an original member besides dave mustaine and he's crippled. so **** it. they're both getting the same set length

Crippled? What the hell are you talking about? Why would you come to the Official Megadeth thread if you don't like Megadeth? Just doesn't make sense to me. :confused:

[rybass]

I'm seeing them with Dream Theater Aug. 6th.

[rybass]

yeah they're tour i bet you ****ers are happy. but you know dream theater is going to blow them off the stage. megadeth doesn't even have an original member besides dave mustaine and he's crippled. so **** it. they're both getting the same set length
Mustaine basically is and always was the band so it hardly matters.

[RustedPieces]

Mathias I'm not doing the vocals, you must have been confused. I was just asking if Knifeboy was doing them.

[MAthiAS]

**** you, crippled? Thinking of Becker? Who by the way still pwns Petrucci even without muscular function. Dream Theater's live show is crappy, Alexi was right. I almost hope I'm going to one of the Anthrax shows.
Grr, I really wanna hear Mathias
But 18mb..
Compress...!!
I posted an mp3 of my Holy Wars in the thrash thread. I'll convert Take No Prisoners to mp3 later today. My monitor display is ****ed right now, don't know what the problem is.
can you guys pull off Five magics?
Considering the new deadline is August 1st, its definitely a possibility.
Mathias I'm not doing the vocals, you must have been confused. I was just asking if Knifeboy was doing them.
Ah, that's what I was thinking of. My bad.

[RustedPieces]

The Holy Wars you did was good but you played it too fast. :)
You should try to something new too, like Back In The Day or The Scorpion.

[MAthiAS]

The Holy Wars you did was good but you played it too fast. :)
Yeah, I know. I didn't play along with the song, so the timing was bound to be messed. Obviously I'm going to re-record it, just wanted to get a rough one out there to see how it sounded.

I think Kick the Chair would be cool too.

[RustedPieces]

This sucks.. I broke my B string.

[rybass]

It's pretty much impossible for me to break my B string.

[MAthiAS]

I haven't broken a string in years.

[RustedPieces]

How many songs are you planning to do?

[Chu]

I posted an mp3 of my Holy Wars in the thrash thread. I'll convert Take No Prisoners to mp3 later today. My monitor display is ****ed right now, don't know what the problem is.
Cool thanks man :)

[Deth]

I will pass off my duties to face in the sand if he comes in the thread and says he wants them. I don't want to abandon them and leave no one to play them.

I would go with another song, now you've been given an extra month.

[RustedPieces]

I recorded some of Holy Wars, I stopped right before he starts singing, but the reason I recorded it was to show you the tone that I would have if I was going to record a song for this thread. Yousendit is down right now so i'll put it up when its back up.

EDIT: Holy Wars (http://s50.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=09IJ6E4MLOQQ21CU1NBDRB1MA ) Theres some static in the background and you can hear me picking, but whatever.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Ask him in the Thrash thread.

There's my .wav of Holy Wars. I didn't get around to converting it today, I probably won't even bother, I'll just try and learn the clean solo this week and post a final take most likely by next weekend, and probably another Take No Prisoners take. I'm going to try and learn Peace Sells and something off TSHF (Back in the Day?) too, lets talk about what other songs we want to do. Oh yeah, if we all have time I'd like to do Five Magics too. With summer coming up, I'll have the time to do it, and I think that song would be awesome to cover.

[Funtison]

im new, but i know that Megadeth is the ****ing ****

Back in the Day would be sick!
How about something from SFSGSW? I wonder if you could do Liar?
*Still waiting for your Take No Prisoners .mp3 :p

[James Van Halen]

Did Dave Mustaine really become a christian or is this just a rumor?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yes, he is Christian.

[Five Magics]

How many songs are we going to do?

After this week, I will be much more available for all the drum tracks. Im basically going to be playing them straight from the record.

I think someone mentioned doing Five Magics?

[Funtison]

i heard that the Holy Wars Mp3 is pretty good, ill have to check it out

[Arise II]

Doing Five Magics would be crazy, hose rhythm changes are insane

[Funtison]

do poison was the cure, that is one kik *** song

[RustedPieces]

So the songs are:
Take No Prisoners
Holy Wars
Five Magics
?Back In The Day?

[Arise II]

Why are we only picking songs off RIP? (well, cept for BITD)

[Arise II]

Why are we only picking songs off RIP? (well, cept for BITD)

[RustedPieces]

Because those are the best songs?

[MAthiAS]

Five Magics would probably be a July project, I don't know it yet, but I finish school next week so I'll have time to. Maybe I'll start learning it tomorrow, I've got a half day and might even just take the day off. Same deal with Friday. I think Five Magics would easily be the most impressive of the songs we're talking about.

Okay, two ideas to throw some different spins on these songs.
1. Turn the clean Holy Wars solo into a bass solo, because I'm feeling too lazy to learn it :p
2. Get multiple singers to lay down tracks for Back in the Day, from this thread and the thrash thread, like Deth did live.

[RustedPieces]

Speaking of live Megadeth.. Did you guys see them on BTU tour?

[MAthiAS]

Yes.

[RustedPieces]

Ok did they play the song "Black Sabbath" by Black Sabbath when they were coming out? Because they did at the one i went to. I'm just curious.

[MAthiAS]

I don't remember exactly. I'm pretty sure the song on the PA right before they came out was either Run to the Hills or Pretty Vacant. I don't remember what was played while they came out.

Edit: I'm looking at the tab for Back in the Day now, this song is pretty straightforward, so I should be able to learn it pretty fast. I'm still deciding if I want to learn the solos or improv them.

[Arise II]

When I saw them, they played both Run To The Hills and The Number Of The Beast (On the PA, that is)

[RustedPieces]

Edit: I'm looking at the tab for Back in the Day now, this song is pretty straightforward, so I should be able to learn it pretty fast. I'm still deciding if I want to learn the solos or improv them.
Alright

[wicked_child]

try to learn the solos first, if you can't nail em right, then try to improvise. :)

[Arise II]

BTW, does anyone know anything about Mustaine's signature SD pickup?

[MAthiAS]

He uses JBs, I don't think he has a signature, unless its brand new...

[Arise II]

He uses JBs, I don't think he has a signature, unless its brand new...

That's my point exactly, they started developing one for him back in December 04. But there has been no updates since

[MAthiAS]

Then no, I don't know anything about it.

[RustedPieces]

Has anyone tried his signature strings?

[MAthiAS]

Nope, I think they're 10-52, and my guitar is set up for 10-46. Maybe when I get it set up next (its actually overdue now), I will.

Here's my rough Holy Wars, in mp3 format and correct timing.
http://s45.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1N8YL2RAXA4ZZ1D45K3U57CS77

[Chu]

/me downloads :)

So, anyone got any thoughts on something from SFSGSW? :p
I think it would be awesome... :p But maybe that's just me.

Edit: Holy :o Mathias, you own! Good work man, this is awesome.

[Arise II]

Into The Lungs Of Hel would be fun. And not to hard either. Set The World Afire would also be kickass, tis my fav 'Deth song :)

[GraveRobbersINC]

Wooo just ordered my tickets to Gigantour :)

[Apocalyptic Raids]

[MAthiAS]

Marty's bends in the actual song sound pretty off to me.

[RustedPieces]

Yeah I think Set The World Afire would be cool to do. Mathias you should also do the solo rhythms. By the way how long have you been playing?

[vashts80]

I've always wondered, is the acoustic solo by Marty the acoustic part at 2:15 until 2:25? I never noticed that. rofl

[MAthiAS]

Mathias you should also do the solo rhythms. By the way how long have you been playing?
Something is wrong with my computer or Audacity or something, I can't overdub without seriously ****ing up the recording. It gets this weird effect, almost like tremolo, but it just cuts up the recording. I'll post an example of what I mean later. The same thing happens if I try to play back something in Audacity, without exporting it to WMD.

My time playing has been a little weird. I first picked up an acoustic guitar at 6 years old, but only over the last year/year and a half have I really started taking guitar seriously and improving. I think it was around that time that I got my first good teacher.

[Josh]

seeing as you use Audacity as well, is it possible to edit just vocals or guitars or drums or bass on their own? (if you're editing a complete song)

[RustedPieces]

No. If its saved as an MP3 then the vocal tracks, guitar tracks, and everything else gets mixed into one thing so you can't edit them seperatly.

[MAthiAS]

But you could send it as a .aup file and do it.

[RustedPieces]

Yeah or a .WAV

[VicRattlehead99]

Hey guys i am back online so what is up?

[MAthiAS]

Not much, getting some recording started and deciding on covers to do, and the like. I started learning Five Magics today...

[Funtison]

Angel \m/

[Funtison]

Yeah or a .WAV

dude, i love your AV

[Funtison]

ordering Gigantour tickets on the 25th, i can't wait

and getting Gratest hits in 3 days, well, now its 2

[VicRattlehead99]

What songs are going to be on the greatist hits album?
