Megadeth

[Metallica_nick09]

Anyone who has spent even a little time exploring thrash metal knows that Metallica are not the true representation of thrash or whatever. Also, lets drop this 'cause arguing with a moron who has "#1 Metallica Fan" as a usertitle is never gonna get you anywhere.

dude you got to learn to chill he is just sticking up for the band he loves

Anyone willing to YSI Mary Jane and 502 to me?

or

Okay Jack, Im uploading the songs.

Good idea. But don't be put off if you don't like Killing Is My Business. the 2nd album's nothing like it, but in a good way.

[Dreww]

Yeah. I'm pretty open minded about metal bands from this era. They can go from something I totally hate to something I totally love and vice versa.

[Happy]

Hey Father Jack did you get the songs? YSI spazzed out so I don't know if you got them.

[metalmilitia101]

that's true. the guys in the bands themselves usually function in erratic manners too, lol

Nah, must not have worked. Megaupload > YSI.

I know it's slower but it never fails like you send it does.

I'm trying to be more like that. I was getting to a point where if it didn't sound like slayer, I wouldn't listen to it. Now I actually getting into different metal genres all together.

[Scuba_Steve]

(has anyone watched the documentery on megadeth on vh1 behind the music:confused: )
nope, that sounds cool though.

As for him on the Some Kind of Monster DVD, I think that metallica shouldn't have released it to the public, especially without james being there, if they had something to say to him they should have done it in private.

[RustedPieces]

Apparently that was edited to make Dave look bad. Apparently Lars was even more closer to tears but of course they didn't show that.

[Britton]

That's funny

I can totaly see him crying

does anyone know where I can finnd that>?

[Ostrich Man]

Good idea. But don't be put off if you don't like Killing Is My Business. the 2nd album's nothing like it, but in a good way.

That's true.

KIMB was poor studio quality cos the band blew most of their budget on drugs...

I prefer their later albums.

[Britton]

Did they do lots of drugs?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yes.

[Ostrich Man]

While a member of Metallica as lead gutarist:

"Dave was an incredibly talented guy, but he also had an incredibly large problem with alcohol and drugs"
"He'd get wasted and become a real crazy person, a raging maniac, and the other guys just couldn't deal with that after a while. I mean, they all drank of course, but I guess they could all hold their liquor better than Dave, and I could see they were beginning to get fed up of seeing Dave drunk out of his mind all the time."
- Brain Slagel

So they fired him.

Also, after recording "So Far, So Good...So What?" Mustaine underwent drug rehab, and the band disbanded for a bit in 1988.

So yeah just a few drug problems.

[superdigg]

what did you guys think of mustaine in the some kind of monster documentary?
he was a blubbering little girly-man, but then so was everyone else in that documentary. that scene where lars keeps yelling "f*ck!" was priceless.

[.:Thrasher:.]

Did they do lots of drugs?

well in the doc i bought of megadeth behind the music by the second album gars n nick poland were pawning all there stuff cause they were about flat broke so thats why dave fired them and on other reasons
also dave and david were flat broke and had HUGE money problems

he was a blubbering little girly-man, but then so was everyone else in that documentary. that scene where lars keeps yelling "f*ck!" was priceless.

that was the best
he is the only person who can piss of james:lol:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Its Chris Poland, and Mustaine fired him for stealing his guitars.

[.:Thrasher:.]

Its Chris Poland, and Mustaine fired him for stealing his guitars.

oh s hit did i call him nick sorry
anyway so was it chris and mustain who fired him
yea then later on chris got fired cause he started pawning to and the drugs which were sending them to bankrupcy

Hence the song "Liar"

And vice Versa, I love it. I've seen the behind the music of them and I love how James told Lars, "Do you want to hear the lyrics, then go F**king sing it.":lol:

[Happy]

I wouldn't be so sure, James and Lars seem like pretty angry people.

[lightningmetal666]

I wouldn't be so sure, James and Lars seem like pretty angry people.


All the more inspiration to write angry music. You know that you're making great angry music when the guitarist(s) are regularly breaking strings and the drummer is replacing drum heads left and right. :thumb:

Yeah, the whole therepy was like 2 hours long. And it was edited to make it look like Lars wasnt really affected by Dave leaving. And yes Lars left the session crying, but that didn't get shown. I would kill to see that whole session without editing.

Yeah, same here. I wanna see Lars cry for his horrible drumming in St. Anger.

I can understand why Dave still wanted to be in Metallica, but he actually formed a better (as far as technicality goes) band so he should just be happy with that.

and boy could i argue about technicality but since this is a megadeth thread i'll zip the lip lol. i love both bands, and i hate to see people argue about which is better. just go your own ways and don't cross other people's paths.

Yeah, one quote that stuck out for me was when dave said "Seeing everything you [metallica] touch turn to gold, and everything I touch turn to ****". I thought, WTF?, Megadeth are like one of the highest reguarded thrash/metal bands. I would never think of Megadeth as an inferior (sp?) band to metallica in any way IMO (well maybe a little in record sales but whatever), and it seemed he was being a little harsh on himself.

it's true about reputations though. you ask someone on the streets who metallica is probably 98% of people will know them. megadeth....wayyyy less. and its not as if megadeth is that much worse of a band, its just the issue of who makes more popular music.

[Father_Jack]

I kinda know what you mean. Like if some R n' B whole from school asks what I'm listening to and I say metallica they are like "Oh, like Enter Sandman", but if I say Megadeth they are like :amaze: :confused:

Again this isn't a popular way of looking at it, but its partly due to the post-black album era. if you said to a random person in the street "Creeping Death", they probabily wouldn't know it was metallica, but if you said "Enter sandman", most would know it's metallica.

I couldn't see most people recognising a megadeth song title.

[lightningmetal666]

It does that a lot I guess. I guess this is what happens when a guy leaves a famous band to start another really awesome band. You can't really talk about one band and not the other.:)

I'm in Texas so they really don't care if yu have a permit...so I drive alot
I just needed to get it.

I'm working on those solo's but sense I've gotton so fast so quick my muscles
are really week. So I'm taking a break from guitar for a week or so (fingers
are so sore) so I'm just working on theory

Yep chromatics and scales and basic chords are it for a good solid half

then all of a sudded my playing gets tons better...and I had been waiting

That's very cool, and I do it always when I play guitar, I'll play the same riff, or solo so many times over, even if I think I have got it (I usually find I don't though :upset: ), but I'm sort of wondering, is there anything I can do to learn to compose my own music? (I know the obvious answer; theory, and I am trying that too, but it's not working so well :confused: ) if I write a song I'll find it's usually always just gay powerchords.. And it's kinda boring me...

Edit: I have most difficulty with picking speed, unfortunately.
I always thought my fretting hard would suffer more, so focused so much on that initially, but now I'm fairly confident in my fretting, I find it's my picking that is holding me back at the moment.

[Britton]

It just takes practice man lots of practice.

To make songs theory really isn't required you learn theory for a better
understanding of music But I wouldn't say it's necisary to make you're own
songs.

I was unable to make my own music (with it sounding good) for the longest
time...but that's only cause it takes time and playing and patiance. theres
stuff you know already that will help you write a song and you don't even know it. For me it's not to hard to make the music..but it's really hard to make word fit to it.

So think of tricks you know find a song that sounds some what what you would like to make then more or less copy that type of structure and just jam and let it build. Never be afraid to try something new expose you're self
to all different types of music

and most of all just be inspired. When you have something and you think it's
ready let some one hear it and ask for opinions

I don't know if this helps...I'm not good with words

Tab things by ear. Start with simple things, but things that you like. For example, I started by tabbing out loads of hardcore punk. Then move on to more complex stuff... like anything... it takes practice but you really get to analyze a song and it gives you ideas for original material, plus having a good ear is a must for being able to translate ideas from your head to your guitar.

Then move on to more complex stuff... like anything... it takes practice but you really get to analyze a song and it gives you ideas for original material, plus having a good ear is a must for being able to translate ideas from your head to your guitar.
It's a great excercise that. Personally I enjoy figuring out Mozart's piano sonatas, but just do whatever takes your fancy.

That's very helpfull info. It allows you to devlope you ear. while
teaching you song sructures and stuff

[Happy]

Hmm I think I may start tabbing by ear.

[Britton]

You really should man it's actually fun.

I did several simple arpeggio type stuff first

[Happy]

I'm thinking of doing it so it can help me identify intervals better. ect. for A level music. Also I need to learn to read sheet music quickly.

[Britton]

I've gotton pretty darn good at that sense my little injury started happening

[Happy]

Little injury? care to eloborate?

[metalmilitia101]

Hmm I think I may start tabbing by ear.

it's not that difficult as some people make it out to be. i usually tab by ear, just because the tabs on the internet these days are mostly horrendous

[Britton]

Little injury? care to eloborate?


I've been getting really fast as of recently (last two weeks)
So my palm has been able to keep up with the speed. SO it's
extremely sore and very difficult to play..so I'm taking a break
and just doing theory

It's nothing serius at the moment but I don't want to take any
chances

[Happy]

Oic, to both of you.
I haven't really had any guitar injuries.

[Britton]

Thank god This isn't too serius

I'll be back at it in a week or two

[Mazeppa]

Once I got I thing that was like a blister, but worse becuase it was trapped under that tough layer of skin which you develop on your fretting fingers. That was so sore I had to avoid playing for a week :(

[MAthiAS]

Thank god This isn't too serius

I'll be back at it in a week or two
If you get it again I'd say its probably a technique problem. Just remember that if it comes back in the near future.

[Britton]

My buddy gets those pretty often

he plays on like 20's on the high E string

Well I think it's ust getting too fast but Thanks I'll keep that
inmind

[Mazeppa]

My buddy gets those pretty often

he plays on like 20's on the high E string

Haha, that's exactly what I was doing. Playing right up in the region of 20, and I was playing it over and over again. When it was sore I even tried playing with a plaster on my finger :lol:
Needles to say that failed.

[Happy]

I've never actually got blisters, my guitar teacher told me I would but they never happened.

[MAthiAS]

Lol, like me and callouses. My callouses suck.

[Toaster]

Yeah, I can't develop real calluses.. my fingers sweat too much, I think. :lol: I know, that's pretty gross but it's my reality.

[lightningmetal666]

I've never actually got blisters, my guitar teacher told me I would but they never happened.


Our bassist in my GB class actually got a blister underneath his callous. How the fu*k do you do that?



NP: Shadow of Deth

[Five Magics]

why do people generally dont like TWNAH? I think its a very underrated album, especially the song "Promises".

[Britton]

Lol, like me and callouses. My callouses suck.


Mine are pretty wimpy

But I use light gauges

[MAthiAS]

Yeah, I can't develop real calluses.. my fingers sweat too much, I think. :lol: I know, that's pretty gross but it's my reality.
Yeah mine too, and I take too long showers though I do my best.

I mean, I practice 4-7 hours a day on 10 gauge strings and put alcohol on my fingertips every night, I don't know why mine are so crappy.

[Mazeppa]

why do people generally dont like TWNAH? I think its a very underrated album, especially the song "Promises".
It struck me as a little bland really, rocked live though.

That's what I managed, it's painfull.

I mean, I practice 4-7 hours a day on 10 gauge strings and put alcohol on my fingertips every night, I don't know why mine are so crappy.
Strange that you don't get proper callouses.
Also, I wish I had that much time to practise each day :-/

[Toaster]

Yeah mine too, and I take too long showers though I do my best.

I mean, I practice 4-7 hours a day on 10 gauge strings and put alcohol on my fingertips every night, I don't know why mine are so crappy.

4-7 hours a day?? Honestly? If you're serious you're pretty dedicated. I can hardly find 3 hours a night, if I'm lucky.

[FatalEnergy]

I'm a bass player and I use 110 gauge strings, so I have some mighty big callouses. I practice about 3-5 hours a day, depends on how much homework I've got

[MAthiAS]

4-7 hours a day?? Honestly? If you're serious you're pretty dedicated. I can hardly find 3 hours a night, if I'm lucky.
Yeah, I've been practicing way more since school started, weird as it sounds. Over the summer it was 3-4 hours a day. I never do homework at home, at least before midnight, so it gives me the time.

Sometimes I'll fall asleep though and only manage 2-3 :lol:

I usually like to dedicate at least 6 hours a day to music though, between piano and guitar. I post on here during my 10 minute breaks I have to take every hour because of my leg falling asleep.

If I get a new guitar I'll put 13s on it so I can get my callouses going, and strengthen my fingers some more.

I would love to be able to tab by ear, but I have no idea where to even start...
If you guys (Who have already been a big help! :D), could show me the right direction where to start, please?

Lol, like me and callouses. My callouses suck.
Wow, taking into account your cover of Holy Wars, you do the huge bends.. Maybe I'm just thinking about myself here (I do bends with one finger usually), but they would hurt your fingers if you didn't have strong callouses? :confused:

Edit: MAthiAS did you look at the albums I had to offer?
I don't have a way of printing the albums I have out like you have (Unless I did it all manually, whih would be a bitch), but if you want either of those 3 albums I previously mentioned I will upload them, I also have heaps of 'Singles' by those bands (Singles are just songs I have from albums, but not the full album, if you get what I mean).

[Thrash em all]

i think that cryptic writings was a cool album

I listen to both.

I'm not a fan of techno or anything...but props if you can sit down for
hours and edit that stuff.

I could edit it. I could make a living out of it. Editing music doesn't really bother me no matter what it is.

Well he does have a few Black Belts and is known for breaking someone's leg when they tried a fight with Lars in the Metallica days.

Me buddy and I make so many jokes about that.

Like we talking about something then all of a sudden we'll bust out the Mustaine
leg thing

[Happy]

I hope I get to learn how to break legs in ju-jitsu. So many people will suffer.

[Britton]

Are you doing ju-jitsu?

[Happy]

Not at the moment but for P.E. at our school we have to do a term of it. I'm not complaining :)

[stevo_13]

:) Good luck to anyone saying that to his face.
I'm sure if anyone said that to his face he would probably beat the **** out of them

[Happy]

Anybody actually know how many black belts Dave has?

[Metallion#666]

"I see you D-i-c-khead"
"What? you go get your alowance from your mom,

"Ok, so I'm gonna have the people around you beat your fvckin' brains in so I can play guitar, alrigh. . . .DUH!
"you see, I'm up here behind this microphone and I can say WHATEVER...I...WANT!"

~or something very similar to that.
