Megadeth

[Kingofdudes]

My creation, thats the only new song.

yeah i forgot to mention the Take No Prisoners demo too

[GraveRobbersINC]

*bump*

[Five Magics]

When Megadeth tours "The System Has Failed", who do you think will open for them, or will they just go solo. Hopefully they just go solo because then we all get to see more of them!!

As long as they come to Canada, anything goes for me, but them alone would be killer.

[GraveRobbersINC]

They're supposed to be with Anthrax and Testament for the System Has Failed tour.

[Five Magics]

Ditto!!!

[xFourStringGrenadex]

Man, if they would tour with Anthrax or Testament for TSHF tour, that would be pretty rockin. But I'll agree with Deadsy, them alone would make me happy.

[Reidie86]

lol that sounds like a plan. Oh had an argument with my ex-girlfriend. Is Dave Mustaine's hair red or blonde? I think it's red.

Its deffenatly red :thumb:

[DKMode]

Capitol Punishment.
thanks

[Po0sH]

Man, if they would tour with Anthrax or Testament for TSHF tour, that would be pretty rockin. But I'll agree with Deadsy, them alone would make me happy.

If they toured with MetallicA, that would be the best :thumb:

[dead56k]

I think the coolest would be if all 4 bands did a tour, anthrax, megadeth, slayer, metallica.

[Reidie86]

I think the coolest would be if all 4 bands did a tour, anthrax, megadeth, slayer, metallica.

i think pretty much thats every 1's dream - like clash of the titans, but with metallica. cant see it eva happening tho

[The Sandman]

yeh, most likely it wont happen but we can still hope :thumb:

[GraveRobbersINC]

Dude **** the TSHF tour, just make a Clash of the Titans II :thumb:

[Five Magics]

I think the coolest would be if all 4 bands did a tour, anthrax, megadeth, slayer, metallica.


That would be awesome, but knowing Metallica it wouldn't happen.

[Kingofdudes]

I wouldnt mind checking out Testament if they went on tour with Megadeth

[Platinum_warlock]

i wanna get into megadeth, can some of you help me out and post 20 or so kick *** songs by them?

[Reidie86]

i wanna get into megadeth, can some of you help me out and post 20 or so kick *** songs by them?

Mechanix
Wake up dead
peace sells

Mary jane
In my darkest hour
Holy wars........the punishment due
hanger 18
Tornado of souls

theres a list, i've left off heaps of other good ones, pretty much all of Peace sells but whos buying is awsome, same with rust in peace and cowntdown to extinction. :thumb:

[Reidie86]

almost forgot Take No Prisoners!!! - great song :chug:

[DisposableHeroes]

That would be awesome, but knowing Metallica it wouldn't happen.
Slayer too, Kerry recently called Dave Mustaine a dictator. God knows what else he said about him, its on blabbermouth somewhere

[Mark. A]

I think the coolest would be if all 4 bands did a tour, anthrax, megadeth, slayer, metallica.

[Platinum_warlock]

thanks! :thumb:

[MAthiAS]

meh, Anthrax, Testament, and Megadeth is awesome in itself, **** Slayer and Metallica

[Deadsy]

Yea, in the new guitar world, it had Mustaine talking about how Kerry hates his guts and that he needs some help. Also, they have a little interview with Poland, its pretty cool.

[monkey_chops23]

I'm new to megadeth, but I've always been interested in listening to their stuff. What would the single best ablum be to start off with if I was to go buy one?

[MothEatenDeerHead213]

Rust In Peices.

I personaly think Mustaine has one of the best Metal voices

[Floydfanatic]

dave mustaine is awfull marty friedmen is the only reason they were good.

[Deadsy]

dave mustaine is awfull marty friedmen is the only reason they were good.

Yea, because Marty writes all the songs and everything. :rolleyes:

[bassplayer18]

hey guys! think how about awesome metallica would've been if dave mustaine didn't have a drinking/drug problem and was never kicked out of metallica. i think dave's song writing abilities combined with james song writing abilities would have been.... amazing. and not only that, think about how much of a better band metallica would have been in general if cliff didn't die!!! basically what im saying is, think about how much it would kick *** if the line up was always james, dave, cliff and lars.


and i have a question, who does the solos on holy wars (including the little gypsy part) and hangar 18? is it marty? because those solos kick major ***!!!!

[flappersack]

I'm glad mustaine got kicked out of metallica, cos if he didnt, megadeth wouldnt exist!
Megadeth Pwns!

[Triangle]

exactly. Metallica would of been completly different if Mustain stayed...

[GraveRobbersINC]

Does anyone know of any songs Dave Mustaine uses a Tremolo bar on, I was reading something from a guitar player and he says he's pretty against the use of them.

[Mega_Dave]

and i have a question, who does the solos on holy wars (including the little gypsy part) and hangar 18? is it marty? because those solos kick major ***!!!!

Friedman plays all the solos in Holy Wars except for the last one, that's Mustaine's and in Hangar 18 Friedman plays most of them except for a few.

[Reidie86]

I'm new to megadeth, but I've always been interested in listening to their stuff. What would the single best ablum be to start off with if I was to go buy one?

i'd recomend getting cowntdown to extinction, followed by rust in peace. If u havnt heard much megadeth, then Daves vocals on rust in peace might put u off the band. Get cowntdown, and after u have "aquired" a taste for daves vocals get rust in peace, and there earlyer stuff - they rock :thumb:

[bassplayer18]

true metallica would've sounded alot different if mustaine stayed, but they would sound different in a good way!

[Mega_Dave]

They definetly would have been faster and more thrashy.

[Reidie86]

They definetly would have been faster and more thrashy.
i agree with the faster call. "the four horsemen" -> "mechanix" The speed difference is huge

[Five Magics]

Yea, in the new guitar world, it had Mustaine talking about how Kerry hates his guts and that he needs some help.

Didn't Kerry try out for Megadeth way back when Dave first started trying to form the band?

[Kingofdudes]

Didn't Kerry try out for Megadeth way back when Dave first started trying to form the band?

He played a few gigs with them back when they were first starting out, but Kerry said he would never have joined the band.

[FatalEnergy]

Dave could kick Kerry's ***

[Mega_Dave]

i agree with the faster call. "the four horsemen" -> "mechanix" The speed difference is huge

Same with every single other Megadeth song compared to a Metallica song, Megadeth is much faster overall compared to them. That's another reason why Dave and James didn't get along, James wanted everything to be slower and Dave wanted to take thrash metal in a new direction and be faster and more technical.

i chose "the four horsemen" and "mechanix" as an example of the speed difference, cos bar the into "mechanix", and the interlude to the 4 horsmen, they're pretty much identical. The only thing that makes them different is the speed difference (and lyrics)

[Reidie86]

Yea, because Marty writes all the songs and everything. :rolleyes:

:lol: good call :lol: :thumb:

[SB_Haggard]

Dave could kick Kerry's ***

I guess so, he has a friggin black belt and does judo and stuff.

I dont think people give poland eneough credit tho, i mean he writes such awesome solos, some better than marty i find because the ones poland did sort of fit better and sounded more metally. Whereas marty gets really technical and starts wandering keys and doing relatives and then starts making other guitarists feel bad when they watch the notes fly by in powertab.

And i think we should really thank poland for doing such a huge contribution to writing alot of solos on this new album, which i cant ****ing wait to hear

[Five Magics]

Chris Poland is amazing! The work he produced on KIMB and PSBWB is unbelieveable. But I still prefer Marty though. I think its all because of Rust In Peace, the lineup on there was the best ever. Which brings me to my next point, which Megadeth lineup was your favourite and least favourite?

Mustaine/Ellefson/Samuelson/Poland
Mustaine/Ellefson/Behler/Young <-----Least Favourite
Mustaine/Ellefson/Menza/Friedman <-----Favourite
Mustaine/Ellefson/Degrasso/Pitrelli

[RiceMonster]

Agreed. Chris Poland wrote some memorable solos such as my last words, I can't stop listening to that solo. He sertainly isn't better than freindman but many of his solos are great. To bad he Isn't actually back in MegaDeth although, I like his Solo work on Kick the Chair.

[sacrifice93.2]

I think this thread is failing :(. Whats your favorite Megadeth album?

RUST IN PEACE! Tornado of Souls, Holy Wars....The Punishment Due, Hangar 18, man what an AWESOME CD!

[Reidie86]

Mustaine/Ellefson/Samuelson/Poland
Mustaine/Ellefson/Behler/Young
Mustaine/Ellefson/Menza/Friedman <-----Favourite
Mustaine/Ellefson/Degrasso/Pitrelli

i dont have a least favourite, and i like the line up on SFSGSW. The Mustaine/Friedman/Meza/Ellefson lineup is probly my favourite, but at the same time they were also the lineup that recorded risk :confused: (degrasso only toured with that album...... i think thats correct).

I liked the Mustaine/Ellefson/Degrasso/Pitrelli line up, not as much as Mustaine/Ellefson/Menza/Friedman or Mustaine/Ellefson/Samuelson/Poland, but i thaught it was a preety darn solid lineup.

yeah, agreed. Just watching the Rude Awakening DVD , that lineup was amazing on it, but at times a kind of wish that Menza and Friedman were there instead, but Degrasso and Pitrelli do an excellent job on there regardless

[Five Magics]

has anyone seen the album cover of "The System has Failed"? I think it is pretty good and it is typical Megadeth showing Vic on it

[DimebagDarrell]

yes ive seen it :) its very political i hope the album even going to be that way

[GraveRobbersINC]

I think it just looks cool, politics aside.

[Reidie86]

is september 14th the international relese date for the system has failed or just for the US??

[DisposableHeroes]

i think its the international release date too

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

Who do you think Megadeths best drummer was.. I personally think Gars Samuelson was.(R.I.P.)

[Esp Griffyn]

I just heard "Kick the Chair"

its ace!

[RiceMonster]

To be honest I didn't think Kick the chair was all that good, It sertanly isn't a bad song, but I don't find myself ever wanting to listen to it.

[Esp Griffyn]

its got an ace performace. Its also the first Megadeth song Ive ever heard.

*isa megadeth n00b*

[Hangar_18!!]

best megadeth songs are hangar 18 and return to hangar

[Arise]

best megadeth songs are hangar 18 and return to hangar

Good ones. but not the best.

Best:

My Last Words
Loved Til Death
Rattlehead
Holy Wars
New World Order
Into The Lungs Of Hell
Set The World Afire
Five Magics

[Five Magics]

Who do you think Megadeths best drummer was.. I personally think Gars Samuelson was.(R.I.P.)

here is my order of who was my favourite out of the drummers:

Nick Menza (he lasted the longest, and his work on Rust In Peace is top-notch and better than any other 'Deth album)

Jimmy Degrasso (close 2nd, but watching the Rude Awakening DVD made him seem like first cause he played all the songs sooooo very well)

Gar Samuelson (He is amazing too, Maybe he would have been higher if I seen a DVD or some videos of him playing or if he played in Megadeth longer)

Check Behler (cant say he was great, I didnt think he fit the band at all)

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

I liked Gars sort of jazz feel in the first two albums. But anyway I've been meaning to pick up rude awakening. Is it worth buying?

[Five Magics]

Oh ya. It's a definite buy. The musicianship is perfect. Jimmy Degrasso is amazing in it, the way he played all of Gars' songs were perfect and he added his own touch in it which were: The Mechanix, Wake Up Dead, Peace Sells, & Devil's Island. The only little flaw and I do me little is Mustaine's voice live. His voice has obviously changed throughout the years (as would anyones) and it was harder for him to sing the older songs ( i think anyway). But, it is worth buying no doubt!!!

[Mega_Dave]

Yes, definetly buy the RA DVD, it's amazing and it made me appreciate Megadeth so much more, I've watched that DVD hundreds of times, best 30 bucks I've ever spent in my entire life :smoke: .

[wales'llqualifyforworldcup2006]

Does anyone know what the new album will sound like? Or even when it's coming to the UK?

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

haha nice I shall go search for it once I get enough money.

[Kingofdudes]

Does anyone know what the new album will sound like? Or even when it's coming to the UK?

They have released 3 of the tracks from it, check them out.

[wales'llqualifyforworldcup2006]

is it on the official website? if so I'll check it out godspeedingly

[wales'llqualifyforworldcup2006]

just heard Die Dead Enough, and souns like something off Countdown to Extinction, at least it's better than Metallica's new album

[Five Magics]

I hope everyone doesn't start comparing "The System Has Failed" to "St.Anger"

[wales'llqualifyforworldcup2006]

there is no comparison to compare with anyway, TSHF is better than St Anger. Period

[Kingofdudes]

there is no comparison to compare with anyway, TSHF is better than St Anger. Period

wow thanks for granting his request.

[Five Magics]

That's fine if u think that, but the Megadeth/Metallica debate has been done to death, and it doesnt solve anything. Let's just simply enjoy the great band that is Megadeth! and only talk about Megadeth in this thread.

I can't read about Metallica or Megadeth on the forums without hearing people arguing over who is better.

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

I actually enjoyed that thread becasue people actually thought that the musicians in Metallica are better than Megadeth.

[METAL_HEAD_MIKE]

^^Year well Dave is a ****en lord!

[paco999]

megadeth has alot of good songs

in my opinion these are the best

holy wars
symphony of destruction
architecture of aggression
5 magics
hangar 18
return to the hangar
ashes in ur mouth
set the world on fire
my darkest hour
peace sells
devil's island
reckoning day
trust
recepie for hate even though the talking part is sort of annoying
and i think into the lungs of hell is pretty good

but i also like metallica but they blew it with st anger
o well

[Dreth]

Rust in Peace is my favorite album, best line-up, heaviest/fastest music of theirs is in there also, and the beautiful Tornado of Souls is just breath-taking, being such a big fan of theirs I gave up on them back with the stupid Greatest Hits crap after the disbandment, so I wasn't aware they were alive until I read this thread, it's sad all the crap Megadeth went through over the years but at least they didn't mess up as badly as Metallica, I'm gonna buy this record no matter what, I bought Risk and learned to like it (not love it) so this can't be so hard, after World Needs A Hero, this should kick ***.

[Arise]

Does anyone know what the new album will sound like? Or even when it's coming to the UK?

I've already got the entire album (it leaked about a month ago).

Its pretty **** good actually. Not as good as any of their thrash albums, but def. the best they've released since RIP. ****, it even has some thrash songs on it.

It will be released internationally on September 14

[Led Guitar]

How do you got it?

[Arise]

How do you got it?

This guy at my old forum (TabCrawler) posted a link were you could dowload the whole thing in a package

[Mars Volta]

Ive had PSBWB for ages and I liked that but I just got Rust in Peace on Thursday and I love it.

[lunchbox320]

u guys should go to ultimate guitar to find dirt on the ellefson ****. u should hear what dave mustaine says about him hes like he was never my best friend and now hes countersueing ellefson man mustaines such a basterd its awsum

[Arise]

Yea, I've read about that. looks like he's goin' down the same filthy path as Axl vs the Gunners and Phil vs Pantera

Oh, and Led Guitar, just do some searches on the net or on whatever p2p prog ya got. From what I've heard, its all over the place

[little_devil2021]

don't think i'm weird 4 sayin this, but i just bought my first megadeth cd last sat. i got rust in peace, and the guitar parts are friggin awesome. the only other thrash i've heard is metallica's old stuff, so i'm still gettin used to mustaine's singing, cause it's so different from hetfield's. but all in all, megadeth is awesome!

[dizafacekiller]

megadeath sux they have the worst lyrics

[Five Magics]

megadeath sux they have the worst lyrics

It's Megadeth.....what's wrong with the lyrics? How many songs have you heard by "Megadeath" to make a claim like that?

[Arise]

megadeath sux they have the worst lyrics

Actually, that would be Manowar (or any other power metal and)

And although KIMBABIG has some seriously cheesy lyrics, the music makes up fer it

[RiceMonster]

megadeath sux they have the worst lyrics

If you don't like MegaDeth then stay out of this thread

[MAthiAS]

megadeath sux they have the worst lyrics

megadeath might suck, I"ve never heard em...

Megadeth on the other hand, totally own.

Megadeth > "megadeath" > you

anyway, to the people that have the new album, how is it? better than TWNAH?

TWNAH wasn't bad, and was better than Risk, so I expect Megadeth to be getting better again, quite the contrary of Metallica.

also, anyone else think that SFSGSW is just as good as their other thrash albums? I personally think RiP is their best work easily, but their first three albums are just a tiny cut below it, and I think they're all on the same level, I can't pick a favorite.

[Five Magics]

honestly, for some reason I just cant get into SFSGSW, I dont know why, maybe its that they have Check Behler on drums and Jeff Young on Guitar. The only song I like from it, and its one of my favourites is "In My Darkest Hour". My favourite of the first three is PSBWB, followed by KIMB.

[MAthiAS]

In My Darkest Hour is an amazing song, yeah... I also just LOVE Into the Lungs of Hell, along with the rest of SFSGSW... Hook in Mouth, Set the World Afire, its all great

[SB_Haggard]

Mustaine from the new (october) guitar world

Mustaine: (about SFSGSW) The songs were brilliant but the playing and production were terrible. Jeff Young had just come in on guitar and he hadn't really established a solid equilibrium yet.....Plus Ellefson and I were out of our minds on heroin every day.

[SB_Haggard]

Everybody should really pick up that guitar world the article with mustaine is HUGE...its got the guy from phish on the front....good lesson from Anastasio on improv too..

[RiceMonster]

I picked up that mag for the soul reason that it had the big section on mustaine

[Arise]

Well, first off, anybody who says SFSGSW is afiller album should be shot in the rectum. Apart from Liar, its a prime example of what thrash should be. Sure, the production is ****ty, but that doesn't change the fact that the songs ****ing rock! And why people always say thet their version of Anarchy... is the worst one ever recorded, I'll never understand

Secondly: The new album is pretty **** good actually. in fact, I dare almost say, its the best post-thrash album they've recorded - it even has a few thrash tracks on it. Apart from a few songs (like "The Scorpion", if anybody have heard it). Its an all-out kickass CD.

Myself, I really don't care for anything Megadeth released after they stopped playing thrash (except for possibly CTE, whichis a pretty good album, despite a few filler tracks). IMO, after CTE, Dave sold out like a 2$ taiwanese hooker.

I'm happy that he's finally decided to take a step back in the right direction :thumb:

[Five Magics]

IMO, Megadeth writing more stripped down mainstream stuff after Rust In Peace was due in large fact to the music scene during that time. CTE, Youthanasia, Criptic Writings, & Risk were much different than there traditional stuff, but it was still good but not as good as before.

[Kingofdudes]

glad to hear that megadeth have got a new album due for release.'the system has failed' i think it's called and i think i heard that chris poland is back in the line up. i'm looking forward to it.

Countdown to Extinction was a more mainstream album, but anyone think "Ashes in your Mouth" should have been on Rust In Peace? The song is hands down miles ahead of any other CTE track.

i kinda know what u mean, cept i think it sits well on countdown. its clearly the best track on the album, but then again i reckon there all good traks :)

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

NEWS!!!!

MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine has announced the addition of guitarist Glen Drover (EIDOLON, ex-KING DIAMOND) to the group's ranks.

bad *** :)

oh i didnt even realise he wasnt on vocals, who was?

lol

has you heard this new guy for megadeth? i still think marty would be best.

I'd rather have Marty back myself, but I doubt that's going to happen, this new guy should probaly do just fine.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

he is. but back to MEGADETH TRIVIA TIME

he played on the album yes, but he didnt have the intention of rejoining the band.

[another guy]

alright **** it im just gonna make a new thread for the trivia question.

[Five Magics]

alright **** it im just gonna make a new thread for the trivia question.

I think the inspiration came from the fact that Rust in Peace came out during the cold war era or the height of it anyway. And what it signifies is that I think Dave got the album title from a quote he seen somewhere (dont know where), and I could be wrong with this is "May all your nuclear weapons rust in peace".

[GraveRobbersINC]

^yeah I was reading the insert for Rust and it says it was from a quote that went something like that. I think it was from the title of a book though, mabye I'm thinking of Peace Sells.

[MAthiAS]

^yeah I was reading the insert for Rust and it says it was from a quote that went something like that. I think it was from the title of a book though, mabye I'm thinking of Peace Sells.

yea, it's in the inset for the Rust In Peace re-master. he saw it on a bumper sticker it said "may all your nuclear weapons rust in peace" or something similar

[SB_Haggard]

**** you guys beat me to the answer....but does anybody have all the remasters and have put them together on the sides to make out the pic of vic? For that reason alone makes me wanna get all of them just for the picture, cause all i got PS, CTE and RIP.

what? You cant type the word D@mn?

**** you guys beat me to the answer....but does anybody have all the remasters and have put them together on the sides to make out the pic of vic? For that reason alone makes me wanna get all of them just for the picture, cause all i got PS, CTE and RIP.

what? You cant type the word D@mn?
thats what makes me wanna get all the Iron Maiden remasters, i wanna make out Eddie's head! imagine having Vic and Eddie next to each other in your cd rack. oh man, remasters here i come. i am such a tool, but if i could see vic and eddie next to each other in remaster form i would die a happy man.

[flappersack]

^^^
good god, i would die a happy man also - that would be heaven in the form of cd cases

[GraveRobbersINC]

dude I want the Maiden, Priest, and Megadeth remasters for that reason. Does anyone know what the priest sides make?

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

Judas Priests is black with fire on the sides and spells "Judas Priest" in sort of chinese lettering, Iron Maiden's show Eddie's face going across them all.

[SB_Haggard]

Great...now i gotta go out and get all those cds too lol

[Mega_Dave]

Vic's face in CDs isn't worth my money, neither is Eddie's.

[SB_Haggard]

No...but the music is...the pictures are just an added bonus

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

i already have all the studio albums (megadeth, maiden, priest) so buying all remasters is a waste of money really, i have some of hte priest and maiden remasters...kind of wish i bought them all, but i dont think about it to much.

Why don't you just sell the originals and buy the remasters, sounds kinda weird but you could think of it that you're losing original pieces of greatness or gaining better quality.

thats what my mate has done i bought all the deth albums he had that i didnt have off him so he could buy the re-masters at 5squid per cd i aint gona moan :lol: it was only peace sells, youthanasia and risk though

Dude, you paid money for Risk?!

[peacesells454]

is chris poland back in the new album

[ThrashMaster27]

is chris poland back in the new album

He laid down solos and lead parts for a few of the songs I think, but he's not going to be touring with them.

[DimebagDarrell]

Dude, you paid money for Risk?!

yes :upset: i forgot how rubbish it was. He wouldnt sell unless i bought that too but i still think i got a good deal on it

[Led Guitar]

A tour isnt confirmed is it, I hope so, cause I wouldn't miss them for anything.

[Mega_Dave]

Same here, I never seen them and this is like my second opportunity in a way.

[Arise]

I would KILL to see Megadeth. I juwt hope they do a world tour.

Although, really, all you're getting is DAVE: I mean, ****, this time, not even junior is on the train

[Hardest_Rocker]

ahh, finally megadeth is calling it quits. One down, so many to go...

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

^^

what are you talking about?

anyways, if any of you would like to hear their new lead guitarist Glenn play, get King Diamond's "house of god" album, he simply shreds on that one.

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

I would KILL to see Megadeth. I juwt hope they do a world tour.

Although, really, all you're getting is DAVE: I mean, ****, this time, not even junior is on the train

Junior wont be back, he's currently in the process of sueing Mustaine over money from past tours etc...

Dave was recently asked if he'd ever consider asking Jason Newsted to join and he said yes but he dosent think Jason could commit to a full tour as he has duties to fulfill with Voivod (im still wondering why he is with them lol).

PS: ive seen Megadeth 3 times (98', 01', and 02') and they are machines on stage...they just do not mess up, everything is so well executed. one hell of a live show always.

[Reidie86]

6 days to go! -cant wait till the new album comes out

jason newstead in megadeth, that'd b funni, dave and jason could exchange " i hate metallica" stories :lol:

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

well Ellefson was a canidate to audition for Metallica but never did to my memory.

anyone else realize recently what ripping songs "recipe for hate...warhorse" and "losing my sense" are...i put this album on often and it always suprises me how these two are such neglected tracks. While i still feel "promises" is TWNAH's shining moment, these two get little if no recgonition. Great lyrics and leads by Al and Dave.

[ATC]

isnt menza gonna tour with them this time round?

[Arise]

6 days to go! -cant wait till the new album comes out

I have 130 $ to live on til mid-december

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

isnt menza gonna tour with them this time round?

why yes he is :) , he had to audition to get his spot back! Dave sent him a copy of the new cd and Nick said he fell in love with it and made sure he had all of his chops back to impress Mustaine, im glad to see him back! I was lucky to see him one of the three times i saw them, even though DeGrasso was amazing live as well.

[mechajesus]

So... They are offically touring again? I had heard about speculation on Dave's part but never a final answer.

I gotta see them, can't live without never seeing one of my biggest influences live.

[Spaceman Spiff]

from what i hear there will be quite an extensive tour for The System Has Failed, not sure when it will be starting though.
and the album is way better than Metallica's "return" as this is actually a decent metal album, not all songs are great though, but the best song on the cd, Blackmail The Universe.

[Five Magics]

"recipe for hate...warhorse" is a very very underrated song. That song is amazing!!!! I especially like the first solo where it sounds like a spanish guitar of some sort and then on the next solo its on electric....truly deadly. That heavy part before the next part of the song is solid too. "Losing my senses" is good too, very under-rated again. I still cant believe people dont give that album more respect. I agree "promises" is one of the album's best. But my favourite is Dread and The Fugitive Mind, that song is one of the reasons that got me into Megadeth big time. When I heard it on the radio as a promo for capitol punishment, I was blown away, that double-bass part did it for me. And then 4 and 1/2 years later, I end up owning every 'Deth album.

[Growleron]

Hmm troubles in megadeth :S but some great songs like my last wors and tornado of souls

[Maneatingbrick]

Hi, i ma new megadeth fan.

I never got into them for 2 reasons

1) I hated the spelling of deth

2) The only song id heard was crap (forgot its name though)

But recently i gave them another try and now im in love with the bastards.

[Pr0j3c7:z3r0]

They will tour.

But the new album sucks. The 3 songs alot of people have heard already (Kick The Chair, Blackmail The Universe and Die Dead Enough) are the best on it. It really does suck, by st. anger proportions. And ellefeson is sueing :(

Dude, how would you know what sucks and what doesn't? Especially when the CD hasen't been released yet. Also, the best song I've heard from the CD thus far has been The Scorpion(which is on The System Has Failed Promo CD along with the rest you quoted...).

Even then, I've only heard those 4 songs out of 11 on the CD and I can't judge the rest of the CD. Although, from what I heard, I think it sounds as good as Risk, but not as heavy as their earlier CDs, but still good.

Don't judge unless you've heard the ENTIRE thing, and even then, don't judge from one listening--some of the greatest music has to be heard a few times to really feel the music.

very much so. i brought the album with me tonight when i was working (pizza delivery) and as usual i always love it more and more. People also leave out the wonderful lyrical aspect of Dave Mustaine, TWNAH has some wonderful well thought out lines that people overlook...espically on the tracks we talked about. TWNAH is an album that did have to grow on me, as when it came out i was still in high school and stuck in the "its its not fast i dont like it" phase lol, but as time has ran its course i find myself ejoying songs by my favourite bands that i onced used to skip over on the albums, Promises being a key one. i bought Cryptic Writings when it first came out and ive been a diehard fan ever since :) im glad you enjoy those more obscure tracks, i tire of people praising Rust In Peace over and over when they have so much more to them than just one album.

[cacophonyz]

rust in peace IS a great cd but i would recommend peace sells over it.peace sells is just an excellent cd.not a bad song on it(alot of people dont like i aint superstitous,but me personally,i love it).not to mention 3 of megadeths finest songs-wake up dead,devils island,and peace sells-are all on it.great track from beginning to end.

[Five Magics]

TWNAH is an album that did have to grow on me, i tire of people praising Rust In Peace over and over when they have so much more to them than just one album.

I hear ya, some people on hear are saying that the new album the TSHF isnt that great....they probably listened to it once through if that. I remember getting CTE, and thinking the same, but then after a few listens it turned out to be solid. ALL music takes time to get use to and like. And ya, Rust may be my favourite, but really ALL their albums (including Risk) are at the least, good.

[Arise]

I've heard the entire thing. Four of the songs suck, the rest is solid ****ing gold. \m/

[DimebagDarrell]

there been a us megadeth tour confirmed for october/november time no dates have been annouced yet thought but a band earshot are gona be supporting them.

[Reidie86]

good call, losing my sences and recipe for hate...warhorse are up there with my fav tracks on TWNAH at present, because untill latley i havnt been playing them to "deth" - unlike the rest of the album. the album is pretty darn solid, the only track i dnt like much is "when" - i hate to say it but its such a rip off of "am i evil" in some parts :(

your call about dave being a great lyracist is a good one :thumb:
"heindsight is always 20/20"
"kill a man ur a murder, kill many, your a conqurer, kill 'em all your a god"
the man is a lyrical genius :lol: :thumb:

[Arise]

the man is a lyrical genius :lol: :thumb:

****ing A! I really don't understand peoole who claims his lyrics are an atrocity (sp)

Military intelligence, 2 words combined that cant make sence"

[Five Magics]

the album is pretty darn solid, the only track i dnt like much is "when" - i hate to say it but its such a rip off of "am i evil" in some parts :(

I actually like that song it has some killer parts to it. I think Dave deliberately made the song that way, and I think he said somewhere that it was some kind of tribute to Diamond Head.

[Mega_Dave]

Dave is definetly the lyrical/musical master, he's written basically every Megadeth song by himself and they're **** good.

[Reidie86]

i love all the lyrics to Peace Sells too

"what'dya mean i hurt your feelings, didnt know you had any feelings"
"what'dya mean im not kind, just not your kind" :chug:

[Arise]

"what'dya mean im not kind, just not your kind" :chug:

Coolest line in the history of mankind

[PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]

I love in R.I.P. the song when he's like "Bomb shelters filled to the brim...Survival such a silly whim" god i love that song.

[Mega_Dave]

^^^ I think that's Rust In Peace...Polaris.

[SB_Haggard]

Hey its september 11th, I wonder if dave realized that his new political album (based on what ive seen of the artwork) is being released around the same time as 9/11

[metalheadmustaine]

They'll never come to India.......<sob>


i don't think they'll come to canada either....but if they did i'd be there

[metalheadmustaine]

Countdown to Extinction was a more mainstream album, but anyone think "Ashes in your Mouth" should have been on Rust In Peace? The song is hands down miles ahead of any other CTE track.


i have to agree....ashes in your mouth sounds kinda outta place on cte

[metalheadmustaine]

How many people have the original Megadeth albums, how many have the remasters, and how many have both?

I have some of the originals, Peace Sells, Rust in Peace, SFSGSW, CTE and Youthansia.


i only have CTE....i have cryptic writings if it's being reastered.

[SB_Haggard]

You either have it or you dont... theirs no if's involved

[mechajesus]

Hey its september 11th, I wonder if dave realized that his new political album (based on what ive seen of the artwork) is being released around the same time as 9/11

Probably intentionall. I'd bet that he wanted to release it ON 9/11 but they made him push it forward a little to avoid any backlash.

[CreepingBlack]

Dave Mustaine sucks compared to Metallica

[Armor O'Malley]

Well, got The System Has Failed in the post today and I must say that first impressions are quite good. It's not really the return to Rust In Peace that Kick The Chair seemed to hint at many months ago, I would liken it to The World Needs A Hero. But yeh, so far... :thumb:

[mechajesus]

Dave Mustaine sucks compared to Metallica

Please share something intelligent next time.

[DimebagDarrell]

MASSIVE BUMP FROM PAGE 6!!

ICED EARTH Bassist Quits To Join MEGADETH

ICED EARTH bassist James MacDonough has officially left the band to join MEGADETH as their touring bassist. MacDonough's statement on the matter (as posted at Iced-Realm.de) is as follows:

"A while back I had heard that MEGADETH might need a bassist, so I contacted them via email and much later got a response, to my suprise. Before I knew it, I was on a conference call with Dave [Mustaine]. I sent in some video of me playing a couple MEGADETH songs and I got a call a couple of days later. Everything with ICED EARTH has been up in the air as far as touring, so I told [ICED EARTH mainman] Jon [Schaffer] about this when I got the first email back, and being my older bro, he told me to go for it. Unfortunately, I won't be able to play with ICED EARTH in the future because this will be a very lengthy tour, but we'll see what happens down the road. I am keeping in touch with Jon and maybe something in the future will happen.

"MEGADETH has always been one of my favorite bands and I have a lot of respect for Dave and what he's done for music. I feel honored to have been picked for this endeavor."

MEGADETH's lineup for the upcoming tour will be as follows:

Dave Mustaine – Guitar/Vocals
Glen Drover (EIDOLON, ex-KING DIAMOND) – Guitar
Nick Menza – Drums
James MacDonough (ex-ICED EARTH) - Bass

[SB_Haggard]

Hm...thats interesting...thanks for the update

[PinkFloyd]

Yo man

[SB_Haggard]

Yo.

Quick question, there's a megadeath video which looks as cheesy as hell, set in an Area 51 style environment, but the song is amazing. Can you tell me what its called?


Probably Hanger 18, but I dont know because I've never seen the video.

[SB_Haggard]

Ya it is, im pretty sure it is, at the beginning it plays dawn patrol and its got Vic flying a space ship and then their in like a warehouse and the double bass skins have like these biohazard symbols on them

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Thats the one, ill keep my eye out for that track now. Dave looked the man in that video. cheers guys :thumb:

Radioactive symbols on the double bass, but yeah I really want to see that. The only Megadeth video I've seen is Symphony of Destruction.

[Armor O'Malley]

Seeing that video got me into Megadeth, that song blew me away! :)

[SokeSleezy]

their new album is certified crack!!! just seen the video for "Die Dead Enough" yesterday too,good ****....its one of the best songs on the album..

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

St.Louis....November 20th :) last day of the first leg of the tour!!!!!!!!! my thrid and hopefully best time seeing them!

[DimebagDarrell]

Right this is for english readers. i recently got kerrang magazine and they couldnt have made a much more mess off the megadeth review:

1: its not even the megadeth cover they have one the review its a mayhem one
2: they called the song blackmail the world
3: i think they called one die dead now, as well
4: apart from giving it 2k's it didnt even get the main review
5: they had this articile where it was the 50 heaviest albums EVER and get this a killswitch engage song got 9th place :angry: and peace sells was somewhere near 18th!

[ThrashMaster27]

Yeah, but you're forgetting nobody gives a **** what Kerrang! says these days.

[DimebagDarrell]

it was good a few years ago but its all gone mainstream :( they had a 50cent gig review last week!!!!! :upset:

[ThrashMaster27]

Meh, they're like Roadrunner....past it.

[Mark. A]

their new single is awesome, i hope this cd isnt like st angerIt will be nothing like St Anger.

[SB_Haggard]

Whens the international(or canadian) release date

[Armor O'Malley]

Should be out now, it is in the Uk anyway.

[DimebagDarrell]

yes it came out in the uk today i know cauz i got it

[Armor O'Malley]

yes it came out in the uk today i know cauz i got it

I think it actually came out in the UK last week cos Play.com had them in stock since at least the middle of last week and I got mine on Saturday. :)

[RockerGav]

The new album is amazing, don't you all agree?

It's like a hybrid of RIP and CTE, but Mustaines vocals have improved IMO.

[Paranoidd]

Whens the international(or canadian) release date

I'm in Canada, I downloaded it two weeks ago, with all the back catalogue remasters.... :upset:

Too many albums, not enough money. I know, I suck.

Hell yeah man, NY on the 10th, HAVE TO SEE THAT!

ok an unrelated to Megadeth question, but related to shows and all... A friend and I want to go see CoB with Lamb of God and Fear Factory... but the venue only has like Floor Standing and Mezzanine Standing, and us both being rather small, have no chance of surviving a Lamb of God style mosh... so, would there be like the Wall of Death and all in the Mezz?

Hehe, one of my personal favs of that album

Whaddya think of the instrumentals? Not exactly shred, but still pretty ****ing cool. They remind me of "Anthrax's Intro To Reality"

Yeh instrumentally it's top stuff. On a shred/Megadeth related note, I got Marty Friedman's 'Dragon's Kiss' album today, and it's very excellent. :thumb:

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

I got it too, and I can honestly say I like it as much as Countdown to Extinction

me too, its got songs that represent every flavor of Megadeth's past and a new direction for some as well, Dave and Chris really rip these leads on here...i am more than impressed!

[ricksdmf]

Metallica Who? Megadeth is the ultimate king. Nov.2 Denver, Front row just like last time.

[GraveRobbersINC]

Anyone pick up the system has failed today? I would have only I was dumped with homework and didn't have time to ride my bike to a store.
EDIT: I see you have, but are there any songs similar to kick the chair, I loved that song when it came out.

well, a friend got the cd today, i heard it and there are some songs kinda like kick the chair. i really like die dead enough. this is probably one of the best new albums that has come out for a long while.

[Cunha]

Hopefully i'll pick the album up tomorrow. and with any luck, i'll get to see them in Boston.

Nov.2 Denver, Front row just like last time.

The System has Failed is an amzaing album! I love it!! the lady at the record store sold it to me yesterday cuz I almost did a buy out when the Remasters came out lol

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

i couldnt agree more, every time i put it on i love it more and more!

[Hardest_Rocker]

I've always despised Megadeth (look at my message history) but this ablum (as far as 30 second samples go) sounded kinda cool. I almost bought it. I'd rather have Aerosmiths self titled and Back in Black though. Perhaps I'll give Megadeth YET ANOTHER chance. Last one. This ablum better be good.

Trust me, it is. it blows their last 2 albums away

[FrailandBedazzled1979]

i cant see how a fan of Metallica and Slayer could not get into Megadeth, its almost a given. I hope you look into them more.

[Hardest_Rocker]

I just dont like Mustains voice back in the day. Plus hes immature and insulted Metallica childishly recently. He sounded heavier on this album though which caught my interest.

[Armor O'Malley]

Hehe, no, I meant "I Know Jack" and "Shadow Of Deth"

I wish you could buy Dragons Kiss oustside Japan/US :(

Ahhh right, yeh they seem cool as far as I've heard, although they haven't attracted me quite as much as some of the other songs.

And Dragons Kiss...well I'm outside Japan/US (the UK), and I was able to get it - www.guitar9.com has it, and they ship internationally. :thumb:

I just dont like Mustains voice back in the day. Plus hes immature and insulted Metallica childishly recently. He sounded heavier on this album though which caught my interest.

please, dont judge a band by the actions of the members. Just listen to the music, that is all that matters. Mustaine had every right to say what he did about Metallica if you have any knowledge of what they did to him you would understand.

I just *borrowed forever* my friends System has Failed. I love it its a kick behind album.
