Megadeth

[MAthiAS]

I've been having a lot of trouble getting the second verse to sound good. "Going to war, give 'em hell!" **** man, I just cannot get that for the life of me. I've got the rest of the song pretty good though.
Yeah, that parts a little tricky. Just keep at it though, there's really no secret to that riff.
I have the album I just want him playing it.
Next time I do some recording I'll do Holy Wars and Take No Prisoners. Course I haven't played those songs in months, so it should be interesting :D

I'm Mathias over on the MD boards... not Matthias, one t.

There's a lot of fanboys and idiots over there, but there's a few cool people. Like Pharaoh, Rhoadster, and Jrtruesdale. FaceInTheSky is there as well.

Do you play those songs with alternate picking? That'll be cool to hear those recordings when you do them. I think the smilies they have of the band members are hillarious. Dave (http://forums.megadeth.com/images/smilies/mustaine.gif)

Yeah, I don't play Holy Wars exactly correct either, because I learned it by ear. Back when I could still tab things out by ear... :upset:

They've got some awesome smilies over there, yeah.

We can if its us playing it, I think.

I don't even have those recordings anymore though lol.

Out of curiosity, do you hammer the 2-5 on E, and hammer/pulloff the 2/3/2 on A during that part? That's what I'm having trouble with. I can't get my A on the E string times right when I go back down the riff on that part. I find I can get it a lot better if I pick it all though.

It seems like it would be hard to play. I tried it when i was 1st starting and gave up. Maybe i should try again now, i meen it dosent sound impossible, just difficult.

Seriously that's what my band sounds like, everything i come up with the drummer buggers with some out of time drumbeat that he thinks is awesome.
He can't play one single song.

I hate playing with drummers like that. Or when you get together with someone for the first time in awhile and you both just end upp playing random bullshit for awhile. I get frustrated and am like "Dude, what can you play?" where he beats around the bush instead of telling me "Nothing, I'm worthless." Then tells me "Well, why don't you play something you made up so I can make up a drumbeat for it?" God that's the worst. Some drummers are so frustrating.

hey hey relax on the drummer. If you want him to learn it give him the song(s) and a couple days to learn it. If he dont know the song you cant really blame him for it. That's just as bad as you not having any of your own material for him to put drums to.

In my band im dying to play Megadeth, but my guitarist doesnt know too much of them. We've only played symphony and peace sells...which is a joke, and the first 20 seconds of Holy Wars until he ****s up and then im left playing the drums to Holy Wars on my own with no guitar.

I do. He always begs me to come jam with him and every time I go ever there, he hasn't learned anything. I tell him to pick a song and learn a drum part to it since I can play pretty much every Megadeth song's rythm, but he just doesn't practice. It's frustrating.

Well I can see how that can be frustrating, maybe he cant play it or is not really interested to learn it. I've always loved to drum to Megadeth. Everytime I watch rude awakening, I always want to play

Yea, thank goodness the guy playing drums in that recording doesn't play drums for my band...he sings and says he can play drums...but evidence might show otherwise...

Oh the multi-tasking drummer :rolleyes:

I don't really like it when drummer's sing... I don't know, somehow it bothers me.

It worked for The Eagles. I don't know any other successful bands with drummers that sing.

NP - Megadeth - Mechanix (Live)

Does anyone else think on this song (from rude awakenings), that dave just totally mumbles and only like 50% of the singing is actually understandable?

I finally paid that bitch for the Rust in Peace book so I should be seeing it in the next few days. I can't wait to nail down five magiks and Take no prisoners.

Those are both my two favorite songs to play. When I'm having just a totally **** day, a couple runs through each picks me up every time.

Can anyone here play the first solo break in In My Darkest Hour? "..But I gotta die first. Please God, send me on my way" - right there. I just started working on it and am already having some trouble getting my timing right.

It's dodgy I can't play it, it just seems Dave did some random improv of hitting as many notes as he could as fast as possible.

I've decided to try to take up bass so I'm gonna try to learn that awesome bass intro to Peace Sells and maybe some Holy Wars.

Exactly!!! I've been listening and diggin' some death metal recently (I really like Cannibal Corpse) but I've gotta go back to my thrash roots. I really like what Dave's been doing and his personality has vastly improved for the better. (though the christianity thing I find questionable).


I was just a dollar short of getting the newest compilation album. :angry:
JUST A ****ING DOLLAR!!!! I was really pissed. I'll get it when I get paid on the 10th. That, peace sells and Countdown to Extinction.

I bought it for the DVD but it sucks cos you can't hear Marty's leads in places and his guitar's too quiet.

Yeah I watched the DVD. You can't even hear Marty's solos in Holy Wars, it's like Dave played that entire song by himself.

Hey lightning metal.

I got Peace Sells...But Who's Buying! uploaded.

EDIT: Oooops. No uploads, kinda forgot. I'll send you it now if you didnt get that.

[lightningmetal666]

Hey thanx man. Not that I don't support Dave or Megadeth, but unlike Dave I am very, very broke.

[RustedPieces]

Does anyone here know how Dave gets his tone in Take No Prisoners? I only have Bass Mid and Treble and I have the BOSS Metal Zone if it helps.

[lightningmetal666]

I know that thrash in general you've gotta scoop the mids out. Dave sound like (if he was using a parametric eq) he'd take his mids to 0, I usually put treble to 6 and the bass is cranked. Those are just my interpretation of the thrash tone, not necessarily Daves'.

[Themadhatter]

Does anyone here know how Dave gets his tone in Take No Prisoners? I only have Bass Mid and Treble and I have the BOSS Metal Zone if it helps.

Dave uses more mids than you'd think. For TNP, I set my EQ to:

Low: 5
Mid: 6
High: 7
Gain: 7

[clairvoyant]

Yea, but for a tone like Countdown or Youthanasia those mids are definitely scooped.

[Themadhatter]

Yea, but for a tone like Countdown or Youthanasia those mids are definitely scooped.

Ehh kinda. But I'd venture to say their still higher than most metal bands would like them to be.

[clairvoyant]

Ehh kinda. But I'd venture to say their still higher than most metal bands would like them to be.

Well yea more than these piece of crap "metalcore" bands.

I can get a great Youthanasia-like tone from my 5150 with the mids at 2-3 suprisingly.

[Deth]

I read an interview and Mustaine said he always plays with high mids, so who knows.

Hi everyone, been a while since I posted in here.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Rust In Peace certainly sounds like high mids.

[MAthiAS]

Yeah, he's got a middy tone without too much bass. I usually prefer it that way, so you can distinguish the bass, but the bass is buried pretty deep in most of their songs.

[Themadhatter]

Just because I'm so excited right now: I just ordered my DV8-R. A nice silver one. WOOOT! God I'm stoked.

[MAthiAS]

Cool, I've thought about getting an ESP one for a while now... though I think I'm going to get a Carvin now.

[Happy]

I was thinking about getting a Black DV8 but I decided to save up for a KE3

[lightningmetal666]

Has anyone tried out the new axxion guitar? It looks really cool but I want to know if it plays as good as it looks. (unlike bc rich warlocks)

[clairvoyant]

I was thinkin about buying a DV8 until I played a Dean Custom 450.

Best 600 bucks I ever spent :D

[lightningmetal666]

I bought a line 6 spider II new and I had a chance to get a huge carvin amp for the same price ($299) used. I'm thinking I might've made a bad choice but then again maybe not. Anyways, has anyone seen a DV8 with a floyd rose? I want the DV8 badly but I can't stand fixed bridges. (I guess I'm just too bar happy.)

[MAthiAS]

There is no DV8 with a Floyd. Closest you could come would be a KV2 or a used KV4.

I think you should've gone with the Carvin... because I'm very disappointed with my Spider II. Way too bassy, with any EQ really. Very muddy.

I hear the Axxion plays really nice, and I've heard its got the best high fret access of pretty much any guitar out there. Though I haven't played one. Or a DV8-R for that matter.

[clairvoyant]

Spider II's are decent if you have cab in my opinion. The combos arent all that good by themselves.

[needmymetallica]

did anybody know that dave mustaine might be leaving megadeth?

[RustedPieces]

did anybody know that dave mustaine might be leaving megadeth?
Yes we all knew that. I think he'll keep going with Megadeth for at least Gigantour 2.

[clairvoyant]

Its average. You'd be better off with a Randall SS if you are gonna go solid state.

But who knows you might like the Spider II. Try it out somewhere.

[RNR]

Well, yeah. For $600-700 i'd expect it to be average.

[clairvoyant]

For 600-700 bucks you could also try and find a used tube combo amp.

[MAthiAS]

You could do much better for 600-700. I don't know where you got that number from though, the 212 is 500. You could always buy my 210 if you like Spiders...

While we're on the subject of guitars, I might be getting a Jackson JS30KV in about 10 hours. Anybody have experience with this guitar?
No, but its pretty low end. Probably not really worth it, depending your reasons for buying it. I'd at least get the KVX10, but your best bet for an affordable V is the DV8-R.

You could do much better for 600-700. I don't know where you got that number from though, the 212 is 500. You could always buy my 210 if you like Spiders...

I have no idea which ones are which. The one I've played was a fairly big and $650 or so.

Anyways, what would you guys suggest for my next Megadeth album? I have Rust in Peace and Peace Sells.

[clairvoyant]

Get Countdown To Extinction.

For all you Megadeth fans :evil:

I was browsing Amazon Music, I just wanted to see if there was any Megadeth I didn't have (My sister bought me Cryptic Writings tonight, much love :)), I have all Megadeth CDs I want (There are a few like Hidden Treasures and the Best ofs I'm not interested in), anyway, I came across this (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00000JWS5/qid=1128100544/sr=1-29/ref=sr_1_29/104-6550937-6119904?v=glance&s=music) and was wondering if anyone in here has heard about it, or even heard it? And if so, is it worth the money? It sounds interesting to me, but then again.. I thought St. Anger sounded interesting :upset:

[Happy]

Interesting... Never seen it before.

[clairvoyant]

I wouldn't buy it.

[Happy]

holy jeebus. Listen to the sample of Take No Prisoners :eek:

[Chu]

I was looking to dl it from TorrentSpy, but no luck :upset:

It's kinda 4:03am here (Yeah, insomnia, I think.. I work late and early so don't get alot of sleep anyway) and my parents room is right behind the computer room (I have a computer in my room, but it's closer to food here :p), I have no sound, can't listen to the samples, but yeah, if anyone here does run into it somehow * :p *
I wouldn't mind... Listening to it :cool:

[Happy]

It's like a death metal version of Megadeth, I'll look for it on Ares.

[Chu]

yeah, I read the reviews on Amazon (They were saying how bad Death Metal vocals are :o), and it did sound cool, I've always wondered what Megadeth would sound like with some Death Metal Growls...

I was going to ask my mate's band to cover Holy Wars just so I could hear what it sounded like, but I'm very lazy :p

[clairvoyant]

Death metal blows in my opinion. I just don't see whats so good about it.

[Chu]

It's just another way of expression, like rap or emo is to other people.
Not everyone has to like it, some people do, others don't.

[Happy]

Some of the vocals work in the samples and some of them are just terrible.

[lightningmetal666]

Death metal blows in my opinion. I just don't see whats so good about it.


It has some really interesting guitar in it. I've tried learning Cannibal Corpse's Hammer Smashed Face and Stripped, Raped, and Strangled. They have some great sounding and catchy riffs in them. George Fisher's voice is much like Dave Mustaines in the sense that they are an acquired taste. At first I didn't like either, now after listening to them for a while they both rock.

[RustedPieces]

No, but its pretty low end. Probably not really worth it, depending your reasons for buying it. I'd at least get the KVX10, but your best bet for an affordable V is the DV8-R.
Well I would just be getting it to just play by myself, not any gigs or anything. And it's only for about $350 CAD.

[Happy]

I can't find the Megaded songs on Ares. Guess I'll just buy it.

[Chu]

I found all the songs on Limewire, and have 99% of Sympthony of Destruction, and 56% of Holy Wars, but the Source went offline :upset:

[lightningmetal666]

Really?

What guitar do you have now? I don't know... its my view that unless you need a guitar immediately, or won't be able to afford a better one for a very long time, then you shouldn't bother getting guitars that aren't going to satisfy you completely.

I have a freakin' Squier Bullet right now. :upset: I've only been playing for about 2 years and a couple months, so I don't really need anything too great. Plus I'm a jobless bum so I don't have much money.

[MAthiAS]

You live in Canada? I don't know what the prices are like there, but I'd go for maybe a Dean at least. I'm prejudiced against non USA Jacksons after my RR5.

How much is that guitar anyway?

Maybe you could just get a nice Jackson JS-1 which are about $200 US.

I've played them and they aren't that bad. Just made me want to get the more expensive models though. (not cuz the guitar sucks but the more expensive models are cooler.)

[Happy]

I have a freakin' Squier Bullet right now. .
Is that like a Squier Strat?

[RustedPieces]

How much is that guitar anyway?
I'm getting it off ebay and it costs $289.99 USD I think, so that will be around $340 CAD.
Is that like a Squier Strat?
Yes, but somehow it's even worse.

[MAthiAS]

Its pretty crap, I think its plywood.

Or you could wait and try to find an LTD V-250 (I think that's the model name) on eBay, its kind of the LTD precursor to the DV8, they look like solid guitars.

Both around the same price, and way better than that Jackson you're talking about.

[lightningmetal666]

Hey if you really got your heart set on an esp and lack cash (don't really know your budget) maybe you can get like a F-50 or something like that.



Found this Jackson (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7352678642&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBI%3AIT&rd=1) you might like (I sure do anyways but can't even afford this right now)

It's not a V but still looks and sounds cool.

[MAthiAS]

He's obviously not got his heart set on an ESP considering he's talking about buying a Jackson.

Sorry, thought he was talking about getting a DV8. My mistake.

[FlyingPaul_83]

Its easiest with your second finger. I'll give you some more tips later, but I'm late for school right now.


alright cool.

[Happy]

alright cool.
Just out of interest how long had you been playing before you started sweeping?

[FlyingPaul_83]

like 2-3 years, why?

I'm not very good mind you, but I am going to practice like crazy all this weekend.

[Happy]

like 2-3 years, why?

I'm not very good mind you, but I am going to practice like crazy all this weekend.
I was just wondering 'cos I've been playing 1 1/2 years and I can barely do 3 string sweeps.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I can barely do 3 string sweeps aswell, thats why I'm gonna practice sweeping all weekend, so I can get good enough to even start thinking about trying to play that solo in hangar 18. I know it wont take just a weekend, but thats the only time I have to play guitar :(

I can't do them very well but here are some cool sweeps I've memorized that are 5 string sweeps:


e:------------------12h17\12p8------------
b:--------------13--------------10--------- Loop this one a few times
g:-----------14--------------------9------- and amaze your friends
d:--------14-------------------------10----
a:-/12h15-------------------------------12-

Have a nice guitar filled weekend. The first sweep should help you practice the hanger 18 solo (sorta)

[heavy metal kid]

^^i already knew of that, i thing he's just messing around.And if Megadeth ends, it wouldn't be so bad, they made great albums.

the only bad thing is that not many people had the luck to see them live.

[Britton]

True

[FatalEnergy]

I know this question has been awnsered before but, I know Peace Sells isn't tuned to 440. Can somebody tell me what it's tuned to?

[Themadhatter]

I don't know what 440 is, but it's a quarterstep down.

[FatalEnergy]

I don't know what 440 is, but it's a quarterstep down.


440 is the pitch

[vashts80]

I believe it was MAthiAS who said Mustaine has never had a trem on his guitars before. The V he uses on Rude Awakening (I'm watching She-Wolf atm) had a trem on it. It's a V with rounded edges, not sure who makes it though.

[MAthiAS]

More than likely its a fixed bridge. Its probably a Jackson Y2KV.

rolling finger tips?

[MAthiAS]

Oh yeah, you pretty much want to make sure you're muting the string immediately after the note is played. Rolling fingers a really hard technique to get down at first, especially over three strings; its considerably easier over two strings. You can also try muting with your picking hand, I do that a lot with three string sweeps in general.

The motion itself is pretty self explanatory. You're just rolling your finger over so that the notes don't ring out, moving it so that one end of the finger is up at a time and then reversing, then back. Its pretty awkward and unnatural having your fingertip off the fretboard and the meat of your finger on, so that's something to remember.

And the same kind of stuff applies as with all sweeping, starting slow and perfecting it and working up to speed. I don't know how you are with the picking technique, but I'd advise getting comfortable with one hand at a time. Since the arp before that one rolling finger one is the same picking motion exactly, its pretty convienient to do.

And I already told you to use your second finger. That's what I find easiest, though it could be different for you, so experiment with your third finger as well. But I have so much trouble rolling my third finger... makes playing Serrana very hard for me :(

I don't know how much of that is actually helpful, but hopefully you can take something from it. :thumb:

No problem, good luck with that. :thumb:

The first solo was pretty easy, but this solo with sweeps is giving me some diffuculty.

[MAthiAS]

Yeah, Marty's solos always give me trouble. His phrasing, exotic scales, and just general dexterity he's got screw me over every time. He does all these motions that feel so strange to me.

That's why he's there and I'm here though I guess.

[clairvoyant]

I love Marty solos, but I can only play a few off of Youthanasia, and thats it! And I can't even play those very well (except A Tout Le Monde)

It's weird if you ever see a video live, he picks then pushes down the string and fingerpicks it. :confused:

I watched an instructional video of his, and he said he didn't use scales, which supirsed me and confused me. What he says he does is he pretty much bases everything around the chord being played. I've tried to do it, but it hasn only worked out for me in pre-planed solos :(.

He makes his own scales by ear.

And following the chords is used religiously in jazz. You just gotta start with slow simple progressions and know the fretboard like the back of your hand.

I can't improv it like that, but I try and do it in my melodies as much as possible.

[Britton]

I hope he does too. They were here a couple of weeks ago
and I couldn't see them :upset: so I would really like to see them before
they call it quits.

another thing wasn't MegaDeth kinda dave's solo career any way?
I mean sure he had a lotta talant (Friedman for example)
but when I think MD I think dave....is that wrong? :confused:

Altho ellefson was in megadeth for a good while, I just always think Dave and Marty.

[Britton]

Yea that's mostly how I think of them...probably cause I play Guitar

[MAthiAS]

I think its more because Junior only has two good bass riffs per album. And though Menza is good, he didn't bring anything too unique to the table. Cept Hangar 18 lyrics lol.

If you mean Melodic Control. Yeah he says he doesn't use strict scales. I found it hard to follow in places, I think it's me though, I need to be come more advanced first, then I'll try it again.

there's a movie from 1981 called Hangar 18, is that what it's based on?

I don't know, is that movie about aliens?

[Happy]

I haven't seen it, only found out about it today so I'm interested in seeing it.

[Hale_of_Gunfire]

Peace sells has to be the best megadeath song ever along with hanger 18

[RNR]

There are some that I prefer more than those. But those are great songs.

[MAthiAS]

I hate it when people spell deth wrong.

[heavy metal kid]

Take No Prisoners, My Last Words and Tornado of Souls are better than those imo, Peace Sells is good but is relative simple; Hangar 18 is indeed great but just for the solos.

[Chu]

I hate it when people spell deth wrong.
Same :upset:

Did anyone read an interview a while ago and the media person asked Mustaine what the band name meant?

[clairvoyant]

Its a nuclear fallout term used to describe a million deaths, I believe.

Mega=Million
Deth=Death without an "a"
So, i think your right.

1. holy wars
2. train of consequences
3. angry again
4. sweating bullets
5. peace sells
6. polaris
7. crush
8. hangar18
9. insomnia
10. a tout le monde

those r my favorite songs (Not in order)

[heavy metal kid]

How many Megadeth albums have you heard?

I know those are your favorites, but Crush 'em and Insomnia aren't posted very often on favorites lists.

There was a concert over here, Manchester I think, where the ticket company had printed the name wrong on every ticket. Needless to say Dave was pissed.

Hmm, after reading most of this thread i see that most people hear mostly old stuff (KIMB - RIP) but really i think they upholded their image pretty well as apposed to other bands (metallica :().
I agree that their old stuff is amazing, but CTE,Youth and Cryptic are great albums as well.. (Risk and TWNAH could have been better)
And as far as TSHF... wow some really good material, kicks the ****ing **** out of st.anger...

Yeah you pretty much nailed it there.

They did go away from their Thrash images with CTE and Youthanasia, but they are still quality albums. And obviously Thash > General Metal so yeah everyone prefers early megadeth.

[MAthiAS]

Its all great except Risk, just the thrash is better.

I still hold that Cryptic Writings is their best non-thrash album.

Trust, She-Wolf, Almost Honest, FFF.. Those are my favorites.

I saw an ad in the newest guitar player with Dave adveritising Tascam product. So how many/which songs has Metallica recorded that Dave claims he wrote/helped write?

There are metallica songs that he really did help write. Ie, Four Horsemen, Ride the Lightning (song), and a bunch of stuff off No Life 'Till Leather.

I never said he didn't write some of them, but some of the songs he says he's wrote (Call of Ktulu) that it can't be proven.

[lightningmetal666]

Oh Call of the Ktulu can be proven. Look at the credits on the RTL album and the RTL guitar book. You'll see mustaines name up there.

I'm sure there's more but I don't have my cd's on me at the moment.

The only song I can think of that Dave has claimed writing, without Metallica acknowledging it themselves is Leper Messiah I believe... Well I think I read on MX somewhere Dave has claimed he helped write it, but I don't know the authenticity of that...

[Lightning_Rider]

Hey guys, I don't really post in here but I love Megadeth :D .

Anyways I looked a few pages back but I didn't see anything relating to this so I'll bring it up here.

What's with the big announcement or whatever Dave has planned for his show in Argentina? The way he's been talking on the Megadeth site it seems as if Megadeth's going to be finished? :confused: And it sounds like Mustaine is either gonna go solo or have a new band?

Does anyone have an speculation on what's most likely to happen? I don't want Megadeth to retire, they (even though it's basically Mustaine now) are awesome :(

[MAthiAS]

What's not to get?

[Lightning_Rider]

I dunno, I was just wondering if you guys had any thoughts on this...

[superdigg]

I dunno, I was just wondering if you guys had any thoughts on this...
I don't think he'll be going completely solo - he'll either have a solo project AND continue megadeth, or just continue megadeth. if he was to announce the end of megadeth, it would be most unwise for him to do so at a MEGADETH CONCERT, dontcha think?

and yes, i realize that megadeth has basically always been a solo project of mustaine, with the switching of lineups and such, i guess a real solo project would just be non-metal stuff that doesn't need the megadeth name on it.

I dunno, I was just wondering if you guys had any thoughts on this...
I don't know, I hope he continues with Megadeth. It's kind of 50/50. He's not really saying anything before he announces it.

Well I wish him well whatever he decides to do. It would kinda kill this thread though if he did disband Megadeth.

I'm want them to stay together so I can see them live more than wanting a new album. Although a new megadeth album would rock.

I want to see them live but my finances say that'll happen when hell freezes over. :upset:

I hate being broke.
