Megadeth

[Panvium]

Double reply.. sorry.

[Quickdrop]

Nice buy.

[lightningmetal666]

I find tab books to be a waste of money, I just get powertabs.


Yeah, but I don't have a computer at home. Face it, they're a lot more accurate than standard ascii you'd find on tab sites. I will admit though that power tab is the best.

[Quickdrop]

i think Its just funner to own the tab books of the band instead of online tabs.

currently listening to: Hangar 18

[Themadhatter]

Tab books are cool. Nice and cleanly written. Good find!

NP: Peace Sells.

[lightningmetal666]

Actually I kinda like buying the tab books. This way I can learn the songs and the money goes to the band to help them write new awesome songs. In a way, I'm helping Megadeth write some new material.

(Gotta love the whole twist things around thing I just did. :P)

Trust me, its Marty, I can you show you the enlarged pic if you want.

Okay, I'm seding it now.

[Metallion#666]

Yeah he's a conservative Christian now, don't know his stance on the war though.

I don't believe that, Dave would never be conservative, he might believe in god, but he's no f****** conservative. I found out, he is definitely not pro-war either.

[MAthiAS]

No, but I doubt that's true.

Did you guys know Dave mustaine was going to buy Jackson?

Tis false.

He left Jackson for ESP anyways.

[Huber]

ESP's got a nice line-up right now.

[blockheads dead]

I didn't know he had enough money to buy a corporation. Sounds fake.

[MAthiAS]

Yeah, that's why its fake. Dave doesn't have that much cash. Hetfield maybe...

ESPs pretty sweet now...

[Chu]

Sorry, I'm bored there's no discussion going on:
MAthiAS - 574
FlyingPaul_83 - 200

No surprises there tbh.

[FlyingPaul_83]

wow I didn't know I had that many posts.

I'm always behind MAthiAS :upset:

When Dave used Jackson guitars, why did he have a floyd? did he ever use it?

[Chu]

I have better chance of catching you, then you to MAthiAS.. :p

[Happy]

Happy 181
:D


:upset:

[ThrashMaster27]

He was going to buy Jackson or at least a major part of it anyway. It was in an interview quite a while ago, but they screwed him over some how. It was part of the decision why he went over to ESP.

EDIT: I must have been taking crack or something, cause I can see no reference to the point I just made. So ignore that one!

[Happy]

It's a shame. I liked his Jacksons more.

[Chu]

lol I'm so nub, could comeone explain this to me? :p

He never had or used a floyd on his Jacksons. It was a fixed bridge.

Megadeth forums and former fanboyism do that for you. :)

His Korina KVs were so nice, CW era.

[clairvoyant]

Ah yes, good ol' Megadeth forums. I loved the V's he used from the Youthanasia tour. Some of them look so nice....

[MAthiAS]

His Vs in general are very cool. Cept the Y2KVs. Ugh... rounded...

They're not all THAT expensive. No more so than a USA Jackson. I could probably get one for $1600 or so.

Are you denying being a fanboy now?
At least less so.

[Chu]

At least less so.
Megadeth are so good :(

I know this guy who reckons he saw Mustaine in a Cafe in Melbourne the other day (Anyone know where he is at the moment?), and apparantly Mustaine said he would jam with him..

Now this guy is known for lies, and I don't really believe him.
But still that would be so pro...

[clairvoyant]

I highly doubt that Mustaine said he would jam with him.

I could believe him saying he saw him though.

[smart blockhead]

If I was famous I would still jam with normal people. Maybe he did say that. He's probably not a huge dick.

[MAthiAS]

Melbourne Australia? I find that hard to believe, considering he's probably in his home in San Diego with his family for a while now that his tour is over.

[Five Magics]

Are they releasing a DVD, with videos/live shows and stuff like that anytime soon?

[MAthiAS]

Arsenal of Megadeth sometime soon I think

[smart blockhead]

What Megadeth albums are essential? I've got RIP and I really like it.

[MAthiAS]

In order of essential...ness:

RIP
Peace Sells
Killing is my Business
Countdown to Extinction
So Far So Good So What
Youthanasia
The System Has Failed
Cryptic Writings

This in no way represents how I feel about their greatness music-wise though.

[smart blockhead]

Several people have told me that Megadeth sucks today. One of my friends told me that they sucked because "Dave Mustaine is just a sucky person in general" and then he told me to download an As I lay dying song for some "good" music. Personally I thought the song sucked. Another friend just said he thought Dave's voice is annoying, which is understandable. I like his voice though.

If I didn't listen to bands because I thought their singers were annoying, I wouldn't listen to any metal. :)

Yeah, so Megadeth is much better than As I Lay Dying. Punch your friend.

[Themadhatter]

Lol so typical. Saying one of the most talented bands in metal history sucks then reccomending As I Lay Dying? Your friend is a tard.

Essential albums:

Get Countdown To Extinction dude. AWESOME album! It was the album that first got me into the band, and it just plain rules. If you can't find that, go for Youthanasia, Peace Sells But Who's Buying, or So Far, So good, So what.

Muwhaha, my mates used to be exactly like that (Although they don't like As I Lay Dying) but I made them listen to some Megadeth songs and their opinions changed (Although they can't stand Dave's voice on KIMB :().
But I will have them fully converted soon!!!

Its happened before.

[clairvoyant]

Megadeth dominates As I Lay Dying. As I Lay Dying is just another generic _____core band. Megadeth was one of the/is the greatest metal acts ever.

[RustedPieces]

I think it's cool that Megadeth has still stayed relativley close to their roots. They're one of the only bands besides maybe Slayer and Kreator that have done that.

Have you listened to Youthanasia, Cryptic Writings, or Risk any lately?

But World Needs a Hero and System Has Failed were definitely more metal Megadeth albums than the 3 I mentioned.

Yes I was just thinking about TSHF. I meant at the present date.

[MAthiAS]

Kreator and Slayer have strayed as well.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Pretty much all the thrash bands strayed from their roots. I guess Testament have stayed kinda close out of the bands that have not broke up.

[RNR]

I couldn't only play thrash for 10-20 years. I don't blame them.

[MAthiAS]

Didn't Skolnick leave for a while though?

And Exodus' new album is badass, great stuff.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah, Exodus and Destruction have had the best reunions.

[heavy metal kid]

does anyone of you have heard the live version of My Last Words?
It's my fav. Megadeth song and i haven't heard live at all.

[MAthiAS]

They played it some on the BTU tour. I haven't heard it though, they didn't play it at my show :(

[RiceMonster]

I couldn't only play thrash for 10-20 years. I don't blame them.
Same. I don't think I could keep playing the same style of music for ten years even.

[RNR]

Yeah, I guess that would go for every music style.

[MAthiAS]

True. Its hard to name many people that have stayed in the same style over a long period of time in one band. I guess Maiden would be pretty close.

[heavy metal kid]

that song is pure power, it surprise me that they didn't included it in the greatest hits or in the live albums.

[MAthiAS]

I'm not really surprised, but it is a great song.

[RNR]

Maiden never sold out, though their style changed a little. Compare Women in Uniform to 2 Minutes to Midnite (that's a very possitive change, by the way).

No, I swear he was going to by Jackson, It was in a 2000 Guitar world interview. But then Fender bought it out. I'm kind-of glad he did'nt, because ESP's are alot cooler.

[Metallion#666]

True. Its hard to name many people that have stayed in the same style over a long period of time in one band. I guess Maiden would be pretty close.

I dont no, Megadeth stayed pretty steady over their career. I mean they did'nt stray from metal at all, in the late' 90s the tempos slowed a bit, but it was still bad-@$$ metal, their only low point was Risk, which kind of sucked, but the re-issue is suppost to kick @$$.

Umm...

Cryptic Writings and Risk were definitely not metal.

Maybe some of Cryptic, but it wasn't overall a metal album.

Don't type like a retard, and you're wrong anyway.

[RustedPieces]

Risk wasn't even close to metal.

[Themadhatter]

Risk and CW owned! Maybe not metal, but it's Megadeth. Imo, a nice break from the thrash was cool. Both solid albums I think.

[MAthiAS]

They took a permanent break from thrash with CTE...

Cryptic Writings still owns.

[RiceMonster]

Cryptic Writtings is not bad. I like to listen to Trsut or something every now and then.

Schecter C-1 Classic.

I may sell it though, in favor of a Carvin. I'm pretty much overhauling my entire rig now, or saving to.

[Metallion#666]

Nice,
Right now I have a Fender Katana (flying V), a BC Rich Bich, and a Washburn Tabu Series. I'm playin all these trough a s h i tty a s s practice amp. I love the fender though. I'm gonna save up for an ESP, or a washburnd Dimebag Darrell sig.

[MAthiAS]

If you want a Dimebag sig get a Dean, they're so much better. I've looked into ESPs a lot lately, since I've been after a high end guitar for a while now. I started out looking for Vs, RRs, Kellys, and Warriors, now I'm pretty set on a V for various reasons.

I love my Schecter but the thing is so damn heavy, my leg falls asleep while playing sitting down.

[Metallion#666]

My bich weighs a f u c kin ton, but for some reason I like heavy guitars. I think for my next guitar I'll get a DV8

[MAthiAS]

Can anyone remind me what songs Dave does his thing where he records two vocal tracks, one normal and one weird? Definitely on the earlier records, I can't recall specifics though right now. I just heard another song with it, and remembered the technique. I think its really cool.

Are you talking about one where the two different vocal tracks are played simultaneously? One where theres two different tracks (i think) is "Take No Prisoners". Theres one track with Dave singing normal and another one thats deep.

Don't know any simultaneous ones. Is he doing both parts on one track in Take No Prisoners? That would be hillarious to see him beat down Zakk Wylde. I think a fight between James Hetfield and Dave would be awesome too.

[MAthiAS]

He would own James so hard. I heard somewhere that he actually did punch him out back in the day.

I don't know how the tracking is on Take No Prisoners, but that's not what I'm talking about. I read about it in the notes for either KIMB, PS, or SFSGSW, but now I can't remember at all.

The vocals are extremely different. Megadeth is also much faster than Metallica. Metallica did have Dave as a composer but only for one album.

two to be exact, i think my reply was pointless, rice monster hates metallica. :upset:

[RNR]

Overall Megadeth is better. They thrash better, play every intrument better, and never released St Anger (that's the main one there).

Metallica is still great though.

[smart blockhead]

two to be exact, i think my reply was pointless, rice monster hates metallica. :upset:
What other one did he compose songs for?

[MAthiAS]

the Metallica Instrumentals are better than Megadeth ones also metallica have more variety in their music, despise the powerchord abuse.
No and no. Megadeth only have one instrumental in the first place, and I'd say Megadeth have more variety throughout their career.

[smart blockhead]

i agree completly with your comment, except for the St. Anger stuff, i think Risk is as crappy as St. Anger.

I've never heard Risk. I think i'll take a listen.

At least Risk didn't completely fail at what it tried to do.

See what Tallica's next album is then argue with us.

[heavy metal kid]

No and no. Megadeth only have one instrumental in the first place, and I'd say Megadeth have more variety throughout their career.

Have you heard absolution?
Megadeth was always metal, different thought, and metallica was more experimental.

[RiceMonster]

Well, you had some excellent points, and a valid opinion. I don't really want to argue with you at all, since you know what you're talkign about.

I like a few Metallica songs, but other than that, I pretty much hate them and most of their annoying fans.

[heavy metal kid]

I'm not talking about the success, i'm talking about how great musicians with such a talent make such a bad album(both bands).

Risk = Not metal

Just listen to Crush Em and Breadline for proof.

Indeed, but the riffing was kind of thrashy, they really messed up with the structure of the songs.

OMG :lol:

right now I have been listening to Megadeth a LOT more than metallica, and I like megadeth a LOT more at the moment.

[Themadhatter]

Risk rapes. I love that album. It's deff not on my Megadeth playlist, but I still listen to it. It's a solid album, just abit astray from what Megadeth always was to me. And yeah, Metallica trying to return to their roots with St Anger vs. Megadeth's return with The System Has Failed. We all know who's got metal running through their veins here.

[Slapping Penguin]

I hate Lars so much. He ruins Metallica. I listen to there soft songs eg One and Fade to Black and all you can hear is KABAM, CLINK CLUNK, POOSH POOSH
SHUT THE HELL UP LARS, JUST GET OFF THE DRUMS. He thinks if he hits the drums harder he will be better. Rust in Peace is the best. That kicks the crap out of any Metallica album.

I feel the same way. But bad drummers have always been 'in'. Ringo, Lars, Meg White...

Motorbreath is one of the thrashiest songs on KEA written by Hetfield.

[RNR]

Of course. But Dave's and Metallica's roots were the same. Ride The Lightning is similar to Kill em All and that was mostly Metallica.

You are aware Dave was also part of Megadeth? Everyone thinks that Metallica sucked Black Album+. In my opinion, Megadeth never had a downfall other than Risk which was just slightly overlooked (in my opinion!). While Metallica was releasing The Black Album in '91, Megadeth had just released what is said to be their strongest album (RIP) with CTE on the way in less than a year.

Really though, this is coming from a totally hardcore Megadeth biased fan, so take what I say with a grain of salt. Your entitled to your opinion!

[MAthiAS]

Lol yep. I think Jack's an alright songwriter and guitarist actually...

[clairvoyant]

Load is actually a decent album. It reminds of Youthanasia somewhat.

Except for the fact that Youthanasia completely steamrolls Load.

actually i'm aware that Megadeth is better than Metallica.
This theme was argued on both threads(metallica and megadeth), i'm a fan of both bands also, but i recently make an observation, in the metallica thread many posters(not all) think that metallica is way better than megadeth and in this thread they think Metallica is garbage, also almost all of the megadeth fans are always comparing megadeth with metallica.

My point was, Megadeth is better than Metallica overall, but still Metallica is very near to Megadeth.

[MAthiAS]

That's a fine opinion, a lot of people agree with you, even in this thread.

But I still think that Megadeth were one of the thrash greats, and that Metallica were poor at best when compared with the rest of the thrash movement.

[heavy metal kid]

But I still think that Megadeth were one of the thrash greats, and that Metallica were poor at best when compared with the rest of the thrash movement.
exactly.
Metallica wasn't a 100% thrash, they touched more technical, melodic and progressive sounds, so comparing them with the real titans of thrash wouldn't be fair.

[MAthiAS]

They didn't touch anything remotely technical, and IMO they didn't really touch anything progressive either.

Orion was kind of Progressive, AJFA is a fair(least) technical album.

Cause he wanted to push Megadeth in a different direction. And so did Marty.

I know Marty kinda liked it. He was upset cause he wanted to be really extreme, like the poppy songs be really freakin pop and the heavy songs to be really freakin heavy.

[Themadhatter]

Maybe. He's gotten really fast over the years. And, STFU RISK OWNS! Download I'll Be There and Wanderlust! Cool songs.

Nah.

I kind of think Dave MIGHT have been able to play them because he can play pretty goddamn well. He has to be able to because of how fast the music Megadeth plays is.

I think it might have been a little better if it had been the way he wanted. Instead what seemed to come out was more of a mix between the two getting a sort of KISS/Nickleback sound.

[clairvoyant]

Okay well maybe, but theres no way Dave can write a solo like Marty. :P

does anyone of you have heard the live version of My Last Words?
It's my fav. Megadeth song and i haven't heard live at all.


I saw a live video of it i think from the BTU tour(which I saw and gigantour ;) ), but it was cool except dave played the intro horribly.


Which reminds me, i recently downloaded and saw a live gig from 84, where the leads were played by kerry king. woah what a show. Dave played songs not just from KIMB, but also from Peace sells, and the peace sells ones were played different, for instance The conjuring didn't have that tapping part in the intro, and Devil's Island was played like 3 times faster. Woah what a show.

no problem, it would be cool to have, but keery king isn't the greatest thing.

[Po0sH]

no he's not, but hey i thought it was cool because i read about how kerry helped megadeth out while he was in slayer, and as i was watching, the guitarist didnt look anything like poland so it had to be kerry, and the people on the deth forums confirmed it. its a cool video, bad quality though.

[Chu]

No and no. Megadeth only have one instrumental in the first place, and I'd say Megadeth have more variety throughout their career.
Dude, there's 2 Megadeth Instrumentals!
One from SFSGSW, Into The Lungs of Hell.. Bloooody sick song imo.
And one from TWNAH, I dunno the name of it though, but it's a pretty good song.

If you have ever heard Mustaine with Metallica (On Power Metal or No Life 'Til Leather) I think it might just change your mind about Metallica. The quality of the albums are horrendous yes (Recorded in their bassists garage?), but what do you expect from a demo... The songs are played about 1.5 x the speed of their later releases on Kill 'em All, and imo there's no contest between Mustaine and Hammett as to who's the better guitarist.
I'd never heard Mustaine do Jump in The Fire before and always thought the first little 'solo' (if you can call it that? It's like 2 bars..) Hammett did amazingly well.
Then I heard Mustaine doing it on No Life 'Til Leather... What can I say :o

Meh, I love Metallica.. But yes Megadeth is better...

The one on TWNAH is Silent Scorn.

Rhythm(sp)-I would say Take No Prisoners
Solos-Hangar 18

[Metallion#666]

maybe Killing is my business

[Themadhatter]

Take No Prisoners

[Metallion#666]

good song.
How about TOS.

[clairvoyant]

I think the hardest would definitely singing and playing Holy Wars at the same time.

The hardest Megadeth solo to me has gotta be Tornado Of Souls (if you play the exact studio way) or getting Marty's feel right on Poison Was The Cure.

[MAthiAS]

Take No Prisoners isn't that hard really on rhythm. Probably something off KIMB or PS for rhythm.

As for leads... Five Magics is a bitch, and Tornado is too. Some Poland solos are probably pretty hard too, because of his pinky.

I hate Marty and his phrasing too... learning Concerto right now...
