Megadeth

[FlyingPaul_83]

whoa I just noticed that it changed back :thumb:

[Happy]

yeah, just as I was getting used to it.

[Britton]

It's really weird...the whole layout


so the song 99 ways to kill you're self...is Dave against guns?

[Happy]

I think he is, if you've seen the video.

[Britton]

Yea I watched it last night

I'm learning holy wars rght now

[FlyingPaul_83]

Yea I watched it last night

I'm learning holy wars rght now


Hows it going?

I'm having some trouble with the verse? of holy wars.

I'm not even gonna try to learn the solos.

[Metallion#666]

Holy wars is alot harder than the punishment due, im having some trouble with the beggining.

[RustedPieces]

I can play Dave's parts for the whole song, I play his solo kind of sloppy though.

[MAthiAS]

Hows it going?

I'm having some trouble with the verse? of holy wars.

I'm not even gonna try to learn the solos.
Lol, play the verse in my fake way that sounds nothing like the real way.

[FlyingPaul_83]

Lol, play the verse in my fake way that sounds nothing like the real way.


I wanna see, how do you do it?

[MAthiAS]

I don't know, I learned it by ear. I'll tab it out someday. Maybe.

But it sounds really choppy when played at the real speed.

[smart blockhead]

Those covers are good Mathias. How long have you been playing?

[lightningmetal666]

Yea I watched it last night

I'm learning holy wars rght now


Really!? I was trying to learn that but I took a break to try to learn Pantera's Revolution is my name and AC/DC's beatin' around the bush (I love that song title).

[Happy]

Those covers are good Mathias. How long have you been playing?
I think he's been playing 9 years. But only seriously for a couple.

[lightningmetal666]

I think he's been playing 9 years. But only seriously for a couple.


call me ditsy but I haven't noticed until now that mathia did a cover of some songs. I'll go back and check them out and voice my opinion on them.

[Britton]

What songs did he cover?

[lightningmetal666]

What songs did he cover?


Holy Wars and Take No Prisoners.


I found that both were good but some noticable (but barely) mistakes were made but as the late Jack Black said "Rock ain't about doing things perfect." The only thing that seemed weird to me was his tone. I don't know if it was the recording software he used but the tone seemed nowhere near as scooped as it should've be for the rhythm, particularly in the part just a little bit past the first verse. There's some nice heavy palm muting that sounds killer and wasn't in mathia's cover. He did the chords right but need to pull some more of the mids out for that killer Megadeth tone.


4.5/5 for mathias.:thumb:


BTW Mathias, Superior job on the leads. I've seen the tabs to some of those bends on holy wars, and I was like "How the F*ck am I gonna pull this off ?"

Nicely done.

[Happy]

and Paranoid. A cover of a cover. It was better than the original I must say.

[Happy]

the late Jack Black

He's dead?

[lightningmetal666]

He's dead?


No, but I'm sure his mixture of hyperactivity and mcdonalds will see to that.:lol:

[Happy]

No, but I'm sure his mixture of hyperactivity and mcdonalds will see to that.:lol:
Oh, so you can see into the future.

[lightningmetal666]

Oh, so you can see into the future.


No but I wish I was. I tell ya, I'd be the fattest $100 million lottery winner that I know. I would BUY Marshall (not just the amp but the Company) and ESP.

That would be sweet.

Anyways now that dave's decided to continue with megadeth are there any talks about working on a new album? TSHF was one of his absolute best IMO.

TSHF
:smash:
St. Anger


I think he should take the time for another album while he's still on a roll.

[Happy]

he definately will make another album with them. And tour again :D

[lightningmetal666]

yeah, but is it going to be in the next year or two? (the new album)

I'm not a very patient guy. :)

[Happy]

I'm not a very patient guy. :)
I'm not sure there's no news that I know of but knowing Dave it'll be in the next 2 years.

[Themadhatter]

He's been talking about it in some of his latest posts:

Now that I have made my decision I know I am going to have an extremely busy next few years, at least three to five with Megs if we get a good record contract, and hopefully at least ten with Gigantour. 2006 will have a new band, a new record, Gigantour North America, and possibly Gigantour Oz/Japan, as well as the DVD and CD for Gigantour, and the Megs DVD and CD from tonight, and what seems to be a Gigantour South America at the end of next year, I will be busy, busy, busy.
--
Anyway, I spent the whole day listening to riffs and thinking about how to start the next record, the artwork, song titles, etc. I think my brain is itching and swelling, and this may be a good thing, or maybe not. Two shows to go, and then it is off to demo-ville.
--
There's more, I just can't find it.

[MAthiAS]

pull some more of the mids out for that killer Megadeth tone.
Dave has a very middy tone man. My tone wasn't that great mainly because of the gear and setup I used. Thanks for the critique though. :)

[SKoRioN]

Hey guys.
I think my music tastes are maturing. I used to bum Metallica etc but recently I've been swinging more towards Megadeth.

Convert meh :)

I've not heard a load and I'm wanting some more to have a listen to. What albums and songs can you recommend for me ?


Cheers :thumb:

[MAthiAS]

Albums... get Rust in Peace first. If you like thrash more, then get Killing is my Business next, if you don't, then Countdown to Extinction.

Should probably get Peace Sells too, even though I think its really overrated.

Songs:
Take No Prisoners
Tornado of Souls
Skull Beneath the Skin
Rattlehead
The Conjuring
Into the Lungs of Hell
In My Darkest Hour
High Speed Dirt
Victory
She-Wolf

[Happy]

I reccomend so far so good so what as your third album after RIP and KIMB.

[Chu]

Should probably just get the entire Discography to be honest...

[Mark. A]

I'm in Web Design atm ha. I hate Dave's tone, his mids are turned up too much.

[Jackson_Guitarist]

First album I'd get is Greatest Hits

[Britton]

he definately will make another album with them. And tour again :D


God I hope so. Everyone else I've missed...Except Metallica

[Jackson_Guitarist]

I think there's gonna be a Giangantour 2.

[Britton]

Their should be. I heard they were great..and looking at the bill I can see why

[Happy]

I think there's gonna be a Giangantour 2.
There will be.

[lightningmetal666]

Really? From the sound of it, it sounded quite scooped. Maybe he's just awesome at palm muting then.


I can get an awesome thrash tone at this eq (bass=10, mid=3, treble=6) on my line 6 spider II and it sound incredibly killer.

What gear did you have? I'm not trying to be picky about your playing because it was awesome, but trying to figure out what went wrong with the tone.

I can't imagine getting any distorted tone out of my Spider II that I would classify as 'killer'.

Schecter C-1 Classic --> DS-1 --> Roland Cube 15 --Line out--> crap sound card

Settings:
Bridge pickup (JB)

DS-1:
Dist - 0
Tone - 12 o clock
Level - Max

Cube:
Metal Stack
Bass - 11 o clock
Mids - 2 o clock
Treble - 2 o clock

Something like that, I think.

[RustedPieces]

Hate Dave's tone!? I know it's an opinion and all but jeez...

[MAthiAS]

I think middy tones are great... I hate the overscooped tone. **** Dimebag for popularizing it.

[Happy]

My dad says he hates dave's solos, how he jams notes together, he thinks he can't play properly :-/

[clairvoyant]

I was able to get a perfect Youthanasia tone on my 5150 something like:

Bass: 7.5
Mids: 3
Treb: 5.5
Res: 7
Presence: 1

For Rust In Peace I'd definitely say high mids though.

[Britton]

My dad says he hates dave's solos, how he jams notes together, he thinks he can't play properly :-/


I'm guessing you're dad is a really good guitar player

[Arise II]

Don't really care much for Dave's tone either, it sounds very thin to me. And the whole scooped out á la Dimebag - he didn't popularize it, 80's shredders did. There are supposedly tons of stories about how aspiring young Yngwie wannabes have dialed in their tone a t a club or something, only to be completely drowned out by the chatter from the crowd cuz they had scooped out the mids way too much

That being said, I'm still amazed at how he managed to have that tone and still not annoy the living sh*t outta me. Hmmm, musta been those arse-kicking solos...

[Kirk's Puppet]

I don't like Dave's tone too. I love Megadeth's lead tone though, especially those on Rude Awakening.

[metalmilitia101]

i adore dave's tones when he solos, but i don't usually like the tone he uses when he plays riffs. i think, like arise, that it is very 'thin', and kind of weak and hollow sounding. really, i listen to megadeth for the solos, although i love their songs too - thats the focal point. who doesn't? :thumb:

[Neoteric]

I was able to get a perfect Youthanasia tone on my 5150 something like:

Thanks, now I can play like Dave :D

[lightningmetal666]

Now that I've bought a zip disk I can save music that ppl send me.


With that in mind I was wondering if you guys could hook me up with some serious amounts of Megadeth. The only albums I own are RIP and TSHF. I've listened to stuff off of CTE and PSBWB, but I want to hear more.

Any help would be appreciated. my email is lightningmetal666@yahoo.com


thanx.

[Britton]

Well I don't have alot but I'm willing to trade.

Dude, I'm having a Bitch of a time getting this stuff to upload. Everytime I try, I get this 1.44 kb file instead of the song. I can't copy anything to the computer so I don't know how to get it to upload. Please help me!

You got all the files in one folder under my music?
Go into the file and highlight all of them, right click then send to zipped folder. All the songs should go to a zipped folder within the album folder and you can upload that.
If that's not it then I can't really help sorry.

[lightningmetal666]

I managed to get one track to copy. But don't worry, I'm a man of my word and I'll make sure you get that whole album if not today. I managed to get you the second track a moment ago. (I think I found a way to save songs to the computer despite the college's difficult security settings ;)

[RiceMonster]

Psst, take down the link, you'll get banned.

[lightningmetal666]

Thanx guys.


I'll have another track off of the album for you shortly happy.

[IAmAnAsshole]

I like Daves tone. It makes a change from EVERY single new metal band that has that over-saturated, digital tone that i really dont like. Its not all about having the tone that sounds the rawest remember.

[Happy]

Thanx guys.


I'll have another track off of the album for you shortly happy.
Awesome. You got the link yet?

[lightningmetal666]

I think you're the only one. There is a lot of people that play guitar. At my school I hear all these kids talking about how they can play the latest Green Day songs and they think they're so good, it pisses me off.

[Five Magics]

...and those are probably the same people that think lars is amazing on drums...

[Chu]

Lars isn't amazing on drums?! :eek:

[lightningmetal666]

Sometimes I feel that this thread belongs in the guitar forum....any drummers out there?



You know, the same thought has crossed my mind a couple of times.


So Britton, have you learned all of holy wars including the guitar solo?

[RustedPieces]

Speaking of Holy Wars, I've been trying to get a Rust In Piece tone. Tell me if I'm getting close. I only recorded up to some of The Punishment Due...
hxxp://s49.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1G9WRJ2BDY9B82FGPWVQWUH5KC

[Five Magics]

I think there should be 2 Megadeth threads. Guitar Megadeth & General Megadeth.

I love how there's a bunch of guitar player's that play Megadeth, but no one I ever jammed with knows more than symphony and if im lucky peace sells

[Thrashman_Metallica]

yea i agree

anywayz ma fav song would have to be holywars and symphony of destruction (i like Marty’s spanish solo in holy wars :smoke: )

[metalmilitia101]

Sometimes I feel that this thread belongs in the guitar forum....any drummers out there?

one hell of a drummer right here :thumb:

[Five Magics]

nice...any 'deth songs you like playing?

[metalmilitia101]

ya know, i hate to say this in this thread but i have not picked up any megadeth tabs yet, although all the songs are seemingly simple. i just started appreciating megadeth about 7 months ago, and since then have been occupied with other things. thanks for reminding me though, i'll pick up some. what songs do you think have the most complex drumming in them?

[FlyingPaul_83]

Rust in peace...polaris maybe?

[Five Magics]

The remastered Killing is my Business album has some really solid playing. You really can hear how great Gar Samuelson is on there since the quality is improved. KIMB drumming > PSBWB drumming IMO.

People do not realize how good Menza is on Rust in Peace. Poison was the cure, Take No Prisoners, Five Magics and yes Rust in Peace...Polaris are all very tight.

[.:Thrashman:.]

dont play kill the king (i play guitar and i can play that)

[Epicurus]

Marty Friedman is genious!

[.:Thrashman:.]

just cant believe that he left megadeth to do pop music:upset:

[Mother]

Yea that sucks.

[Huber]

one hell of a drummer right here :thumb:

/raises hand

[Neoteric]

Lars isn't amazing on drums?! :eek:
Oh the irony.

[Happy]

Oh the irony.
I think that he was being sarcastic. And I think you might just be.

[lightningmetal666]

I think that he was being sarcastic. And I think you might just be.


I'm no drummer but I think Megadeth has far better drumming than Metallica. I have a friend who's a drummer and is in my GB class and he says that Lars has the absolute gayest fills during cool guitar riffs and solos. He says that it totally kills the song IE Sanitarium.

I think that megadeth's drummer sounds a lot better. (and isn't money hungry either)

[Happy]

Any megadeth drummer>Lars. Lars has recycled a few drumbeats from the black album to present. It's quite funny, He can hardly play to save his life. And most of the drumtracks on St Anger were looped on Computer so Lars didn't have to play whole songs.

[fatbandit]

Know what...?

I just listened to Rust in Peace...Polaris and Pull Harder On The Strings Of Your Martyr afterwards.

I think Trivium stole the drum intro :/

:smash:

[Happy]

Maybe. But they're still good songs.
My old drummer trying to play Pull Harder was the most funniest thing ever. He struggles to keep a 4 beat and it was just hilarious.

i wish i had peace sells.

[Happy]

Well.. If lightning metal sends you and Britton the link for the whole album then it would save me having to upload it for you.

[fatbandit]

They are good, yes. In my band, the drummer can... Nearly play Pull Harder. Sometimes me and the guitarist do some fast muted notes to simulate the bass drum, so he doesn't have to :p Sounds better than the double bass to me too... But it looks kind of lame. And having seen them live, the drummer is a bit of a beast. Through the PA, his double bass was just :eek: and he was really steady with them. No mistakes, or being out of time or anything.

:smash:

A few rows from the front.

They're playing again in March. You want to go, and I'll meet you? :)

I don't know if this has been discussed but I think Dave is better at guitar then Kirk Hammet.

[Father_Jack]

I don't know if this has been discussed but I think Dave is better at guitar then Kirk Hammet.


It has been done thousands of times.

The general answer is:

Dave > Kirk - For Riffing

Kirk > Dave - For Solos

And you'll have many people disagree and say Dave does better leads too.

I don't really care :lol:

Are they gonna make gigantour annual thing?

Most probably.

[Britton]

Nevermore and Dream Theater were on that tour too right?

[lightningmetal666]

Well.. If lightning metal sends you and Britton the link for the whole album then it would save me having to upload it for you.


I don't have time to do it today sorry. I'll have a crap load of time tomorrow to do uploads and stuff. Right now I'm on break from work.

How did you like those songs that I sent you? Definitely worth buying the album IMO. I'll try to get you Blackmail the Universe and Back In the Day tomorrow.

[Britton]

I can do BMTU

[lightningmetal666]

I can do BMTU


Sure, that'll save me a bunch of time. (it takes about 30-60 minutes for 1 song to copy to media player so that I can upload them via YSI. :( )


I'll do of mice and men instead then.

[Britton]

Okay hold on one sec

[Bazarov]

Are they gonna make gigantour annual thing?

When I saw them, Dave gave a speech about how he was happy to be back in San Diego, and that Megadeth would be back. And as well he said that depending on the success of the Gigantour would determine if it would be held again, I think it was pretty successful.

[Britton]

Yea I heard about it everywhere

I just couldn't make it. I got to see Tallica so MegaDeth and Slayer
would let me die happy

[.:Thrashman:.]

im just wondering when dave was in metallica did he write motobreath?

[Happy]

im just wondering when dave was in metallica did he write motobreath?
James Hetfield wrote Motorbreath all on his own but Dave probably came up with the solos.

[.:Thrashman:.]

yea that was wat i was thinking
im just trying to imagine if metallica gave mustain a second chance and he stayed loyal to dat chance how would metallica be then with dave cause they made the best thrashies music with him

[superdigg]

yea that was wat i was thinking
im just trying to imagine if metallica gave mustain a second chance and he stayed loyal to dat chance how would metallica be then with dave cause they made the best thrashies music with him
but then we wouldn't have megadeth :upset:

really, i think metallica did okay without him, there's no telling what MAY have happened if he stayed.

[Happy]

I don't even wanna think of a world without Megadeth.

[Britton]

That would be awful

[lightningmetal666]

Megadeth's music will always be more complex than metallica's but I say it's a pretty close tie as far as coolness goes.


Ok, happy. I guess I'll get to work on getting you some more of TSHF. These computers are so slow that it takes 20-30min. for1 song to copy into media player.

[Britton]

Who was I supposed to send bmtu to?

[lightningmetal666]

Who was I supposed to send bmtu to?


Happy. I'm trying to give him all of TSHF but I can only do it like 1-2 tracks at a time.

[Britton]

Are you YSIing?

what's his Email?

[lightningmetal666]

Are you YSIing?

what's his Email?


Yeah I'm using YSI but I've gotta rip it off of the cd first and that takes for ever.

his email is Jevgenji_hershplinikov@hotmail.co.uk

[Britton]

Okay I just sent it

[lightningmetal666]

I'm working on giving him some more at the moment.

[Five Magics]

yea that was wat i was thinking

I would be really pissed if Dave joined Metallica again. For starters, Megadeth would be done, and it would seem that Dave would value Metallica more than Megadeth by going back. There are both great bands in their own right, so let's just leave it at that.

Well said.

Though the thought of what dave would've written had he still been with metallica refuses to escape my mind.

[MAthiAS]

It wouldn't be any better than what he wrote with Megadeth, most likely much worse.

[Britton]

That would suck if he went back

Caue I would hate both bands for that

I would like to see the big four tour together though

[FlyingPaul_83]

That would suck if he went back

Caue I would hate both bands for that

I would like to see the big four tour together though


:confused: who are the big four?

[Britton]

Metallica
MegaDeth
Slayer
Anthrax

[metalmilitia101]

man that would kick so much @$$ its not even funny.

if dave was in metallica, i doubt if they would have become more refined and make stuff like master of puppets and ajfa and stuff like that. i don't know though, obviously no one can. i'm just glad we have megadeth, and i'm glad we have metallica. plus kirk is such a nice guy, i love seeing him in metallica, he adds alot.

[.:Thrashman:.]

[Britton]

^ that made no sense

Welcome to MX

[heavy metal kid]

Metallica
MegaDeth
Slayer
Anthrax

Yep, those are the big Four of Thrash, but there are better thrash bands than those.

For the first time i played Take No Prisoners with a band(audition), now i'm officially a Bass Player.(Congrats. to Me :thumb: )

[Juicy_Forlorn]

Metallica
MegaDeth
Slayer
Anthrax
I've seen 3 out of the 4 already:cool:

[Britton]

Cool how long have you been playing?

[heavy metal kid]

about two years, but i play 24/7, it was very hard, but hey here in Mexico Thrash is dead, few people keep it alive.

[Britton]

You live in mexico?

I'm trying to learn spanish

[heavy metal kid]

Yep, in Tijuana, before that i was on a transition, but i'm staying here, is better for my education.
Spanish is hardest Lenguaje to learn, really.

[Britton]

I heard english is

[heavy metal kid]

I heard english is

Nope, is spanish.
The Grammar, time conjugations, verbal acentuations....Too much rules.

The band was surprised with my audition, most of the guys played For Whom the Bell Tolls.
And i was surprised too, the band knew Take No Prisoners, they are true thrasheads.

[Britton]

LoL Maybe that's why I'm having so much trouble

[Huber]

Nope, is spanish.

Every linguist I've met will disagree. It's actually one of the easier ones. Dramatic languages are harder to learn than Romantic ones. I think they said a couple of Chinese dialects were the hardest.

[cowboy_from_hell]

I've seen 3 out of the 4 already:cool:

I've seen the whole lot, Slayer twice and the rest once. All thanks to Download '04 and '05

[Happy]

Hey guys who sent me links: Thanks :)

[naw mean mang?]

spanish is actually pretty easy. i took it as my second language and if u think about it its similar to english but much more simplistic. english actually has a lot of strict grammar rules that are hard for people that speak other languages to catch on to.

[Happy]

Isn't Japanese pretty difficult?

[RiceMonster]

Isn't Japanese pretty difficult?
My friend is learning to speak it, and he says it isn't to hard.

[Britton]

I heard it was some African dialect...not sure though. And this one
chick I no said Russian is the hardest (she speaks 5)

I sent someone BMTU it might have been you happy

I saw Metallica. but missed MegaDeth

[Happy]

Yeah it was me.
I've seen Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and In Flames.
I only have to see Iron Maiden to have seen my 5 Favourite bands.

[Britton]

Awsome Dude

I could miss anthrax and slayer (not really but I could) But I have
to see MegaDeth. and Tallica again

[Happy]

You're probably gonna hate me for this but I had the chance to watch Anthrax but instead I laid on the grass and sunbathed.

[Britton]

It's cool

was there a girl with you?

[.:Thrashman:.]

u all luky
i havent seen 1 concert in ma life and im prob 1 of the biggest thrash head around

[.:Thrashman:.]

britton man ur all around these forums lol

(soz for the 2 post in a row, i forgot)

[FlyingPaul_83]

u all luky
i havent seen 1 concert in ma life and im prob 1 of the biggest thrash head around


have you ever posted in The titans of thrash thread?

Theres some true thrashheads if you wanna talk to them.

Not saying that you're not a thrash head, but those guys know a lot abpout thrash. I'm scared to post in there because I don't know much about thrash.

But back to megadeth........I finally got the verse down for holy wars :cool:

[.:Thrashman:.]

wat u play

[FlyingPaul_83]

I play guitar.

The intro is pretty fun to play. I'm thinking about learning the spanish style solo, but I think I'm gonna learn the whole rythm part before I learn any of the solos.

[.:Thrashman:.]

i love the ryth in 2:41 in to the song
i learnt how to play it its very easy

[metalmilitia101]

haha i like you thrashman, i can't understand anything you say but i have the feeling you are a true thrash fan

[.:Thrashman:.]

haha i like you thrashman, i can't understand anything you say but i have the feeling you are a true thrash fan

I do my best lol
Still cant believe that marty left megadeth to do POP when he was in 1 of the biggest thrash metal bands eva:(

[RustedPieces]

Off topic, but whenever I look at your name I think it's trashman.

[.:Thrashman:.]

thankyou

[MAthiAS]

I do my best lol
Still cant believe that marty left megadeth to do POP when he was in 1 of the biggest thrash metal bands eva:(
Pop is the rox. \m/

Megadeth were hardly thrash when he left too.

You gotta learn to type man... and metalmilitia101 and thrashman, I wish you'd change your names because I get you confused with metal-militia and ThrashMaster27 from the thrash thread.

[Britton]

LoL That's funny

now in the Tallica thread there is some guy with the name Damage Inc

[metalmilitia101]

Pop is the rox. \m/

Megadeth were hardly thrash when he left too.

sorry man, didnt know there was a metalmilitia. ah well


so i heard dave mustaine was a christian??? but he is still touring with megadeth? i don't understand

[Britton]

Ye neither do I but apperently he found god (I didn't realize we lost him)

It can happen though

[MAthiAS]

so i heard dave mustaine was a christian??? but he is still touring with megadeth? i don't understand
Those things are totally unrelated. What's not to get? And use single punctuation.

[Britton]

How are they not related?

Christians are disciples of God and Mustaine's group
doesn't seem to be very Godly

[drummer247]

man you can still be godly and play hard music like that its your aditude it your way of life i think god listins to megadeth man he likes dave daves defily getting up there with god and cernal sanders

[.:Thrashman:.]

Pop is the rox. \m/

Megadeth were hardly thrash when he left too.

yeah im going to ask admins if i can change my name to .:Thrasher:.
(nice spotting)

[Britton]

And shouting **** yeah!?

Of course you can play hard music and have God still love
you...but I'm not sure that Dave loves God back...I could be badly
mistaken though. People change and I'm sure Mustaine has changed alot
over the years. I hope it's true

[MAthiAS]

And shouting fusty walrus! yeah!?

It is true now stop being a closed minded 12 year old.

[Happy]

Dave doesn't play Good Mourning/Black Friday amongst other songs live anymore because of his Christianity. He also refused to play because a black metal band was on the same bill as megadeth once. I forget how it was resolved.

[metalmilitia101]

and finally my question is answered lol.

btw...of COURSE you can be the best christian ever and still play badass hard music.

[Britton]

I never said you couldn't. I'm glad to hear that the man who makes
the most baddass music on the planet is Christian.

Sorry about my twelve year old closed mind offending you.

[.:Thrashman:.]

yea so hes Christian
thats good to no
anyway im a big megadeth fan just havent been updated on the news for a long time(long). and i went to there site and found out that David Ellefson went :(

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Old news.

[.:Thrashman:.]

Old news.

well yea i said i havent been updated. anyway why did he leave

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I was actually taling about Dave being a christian, but I gues the comment still applies.

He didn't want to come back when Mustaine originally asked, and then earlier this year he tried to sue Mustaine for $20 million, so I can't see him being in Megadeth again. I think it will be a long time before Mustaine forgives him.

[Happy]

Does Dave even have $20 million?

[fatbandit]

So I got told Ellefson is now in Soulfly :confused:

If that's true, I'm SO going to see them when they come to Sheffield (which is soon). I wouldn't otherwise. I'm not a huge Soulfly fan, but I like Ellefson. Might get to meet him :eek:

:smash:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I doubt Mustaine would have 20 million.

Also, Ellefson isn't in Soulfly anymore.

[.:Thrashman:.]

wat 1 day he decided to leave and sue mustain?
(did he originally leave then came back ?)

[Apocalyptic Raids]

No.

After the band broke-up due to Dave's injury, they all went their separate ways. Then when Dave reformed the band, he asked all the members from the Rust In Peace line-up to rejoin for The System Has Failed. They all refused, although Nick Menza was originally going to tour with them, but he was injured.

Then sometime this year, Ellefson tried to sue Dave.

[.:Thrashman:.]

because he was forcing them
man ellefson shouldent be so greedy

[superdigg]

dave doesn't have 20 million? i thought that, in Some Kind of Monster, it said that 'deth sold 19 million albums. surely 19 million albums < 20 million bucks?

also, aw, why did the RiP guys decline? probably could have made TSHF better.

[Happy]

19 million albums doesn't mean he has $20 million, it has to be split amongst the guys, spent on band expenses ect. And don't forget only a small percentage of the record sale actually goes to the band. I'd be suprised if Dave had $2 million.

[.:Thrashman:.]

that and he had a huge a drug and alchool addiction

[IAmAnAsshole]

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=25532

"Mustaine's suit, which seeks damages to be determined, was filed in response to Ellefson's original action, filed July 12 in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, which alleges that co-founding guitarist David Mustaine breached their long-running partnership agreement. He claims Mustaine wrongfully took the lion's share of the band's gross income (estimated at more than $200 million since 1984) for himself and cut Ellefson out of the band's music publishing and merchandise revenues "

Dave is loaded. :wave:

[fatbandit]

Dudes, you know you get money from record deals too? ;)

Robbie Williams recently got signed in England for £80m. That's a huge contract, but if 'Deth got even a fraction of that for like a 6 album deal, they'd be loaded. Plus merchandise, music sales and the money Dave probably makes on like... Gigantour.

:smash:

[Happy]

Hmm I guess so. Can't somebody post it on the Megadeth forums?
"Dave how much money do you have?"

[lightningmetal666]

Dave: Well, let's just say I can have any girl I want. ;)

[Britton]

And that's all you need

[FlyingPaul_83]

Hmm I guess so. Can't somebody post it on the Megadeth forums?
"Dave how much money do you have?"


He'd kick you off the forums or something. He seems like a pretty scary guy.

[Britton]

Naw I've heard he's really cool

other then breaking peoples lgs and stuff

[Happy]

He'd kick you off the forums or something. He seems like a pretty scary guy.
I don't have any posts on the forum anyway. I'm too scared to post.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I don't have any posts on the forum anyway. I'm too scared to post.


:lol: me too. I dont know what to say. :lol:

[Britton]

LoL

My friend and I make up all these jokes of Dave breaking peoples legs...
it's almost one of those things you have to see to get

[Happy]

Because he broke that dude who dissed Lars' leg right. Methinks he should've just saved us all and broken Lars' so he could never play drums again.

[Britton]

That would have been so cool!

I wonder what Tallica would be like without him?

[RustedPieces]

That would have been so cool!

I wonder what Tallica would be like without him?
There probably wouldn't be much of a Metallica without Lars. He is a crappy drummer but he is a good business man.

[Britton]

Yea..that's true.

I bet Dave could have drummed better then Lars (I wouldn't be suprised
Dave has talant)

[Happy]

Yea..that's true.

I bet Dave could have drummed better then Lars (I wouldn't be suprised
Dave has talant)
You never know, I'd say he probably is seeing as he writes a lot of drums for Megadeth ( I think)

[Britton]

I havnt heard that but The man is amazing with music

[Happy]

Well on a hell of a lot of songs the only credits are "Mustaine"

[Britton]

Yep. that's true

I want to see Dave and James H jam together

[fatbandit]

Drummers are often not given writing credits, in many genres and bands.

Just a sad fact.

However... In the Remastered RIP, he mentions about 'My Creation' that it was a beat he'd been playing around with since High School or something stupid like that. So I guess he drums.

:smash:

Well I guess after being around drums for 20+ years you are bound to learn at some point.

[FatalEnergy]

Then why does Lars have songwriting credits on almost every Metallica song?

[Happy]

Then why does Lars have songwriting credits on almost every Metallica song?
He writes lyrics I think and tries to write guitar parts. And the drum tracks.

[fatbandit]

I didn't say no drummers get recognition. Just some don't get writing credits.

And he arranges the songs, like structure and stuff. Him and James write most of them. He tells James what sounds like arse.

:smash:

How would he know what sounds like arse? Doesn't he ever listen to his own drumtracks?

[Britton]

Owned!

Okay back to MegaDeth

[smart blockhead]

Do you guys think Dave is as good of a lead guitarist as Kirk?

[Britton]

He's not as good a lead player but he is a better all around player.

And can we please stop with these conversations

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I think Lars gets writing credits because he helps arrange the songs.

[smart blockhead]

What do you guys think is the best album cover? I like Rust In Peace and the original KIMB.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Probably Rust In Peace, although none of Megadeth's artwork is particularly great.

[MAthiAS]

Youthanasia and the Remastered KIMB.

[Sph]

The System has Failed is cool but the best is probably Rust in Peace

[smart blockhead]

I was just watching the Hangar 18 video if anyone wants to see it.
http://24.104.40.88/MetalZone/hangar18.wmv

[lucstone]

I think Cryptic Writings was way too under rated. That album was good, man!!! It IS good!!!

[smart blockhead]

I don't really care for much of their stuff post RIP.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I don't really care for much of their stuff post RIP.

CTE? TSHF?

those albums are great.

oh yeah CW?

:smash:
Same as Rust in Peace.. Polaris, he says it was his drum rhythm (At least for the intro of the included [Demo] song), I think he took drumming lessons some time in his life?
