I haven't seen it in any shops around me. They have every remaster except for KIMB. :(

[Lord Abortion]

Could you?

[Bazarov]

Alright, I'm uploading right now.

EDIT: You guys can check your email whenever now.

[heavy metal kid]

hey Butcher, could you send it to me, i only have the non-remastered one.

astralmethal@hotmail.com

[Bazarov]

No problem man.

EDIT - Heavy Metal Kid, I got some email back saying that your email address does not exist. :(

[Drone]

Awesome, thanks a lot!! This is great! I especially enjoyed your subject for the e-mail. :D

[Bazarov]

The only thing I don't like is that cover of These Boots, because of the purposely placed beeps.

[Happy]

Thanks a lot Butcher, I'll listen when I get home.

[Easyblue]

Just watched Last Action Hero today for the first time in EONS, I believe the song used in that movie is "Angry Again". Good track.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

oh man, that movie is bad.

Give me Commando anyday :-D

[Happy]

is it actual punk? is it metal?:confused:

/considers purchase......
I'd watch just to hear Angry Again.

[Mother]

Thanks Butcher ... The Remasterd Kicks ***.

[Nepenthe]

I'd watch just to hear Angry Again.

Angry Again = one of my favorite Deth tracks.

[Drone]

It's a good tune, but I wish it wasn't so prevalent in their setlist. They have so many better songs. I wish they would have Last Rites/Loved to Deth as part of the Holy Wars encore.

[Happy]

The KIMB remaster sounds awesome.

[Drone]

Yes, I quite like it. I've heard all of the songs on it now a few times, but Last Rites is still my favorite. :D

[Happy]

Rattlehead and Looking Down The Cross are firm favourites for me.

[Rattlehead]

you damn right!!:D hence the name...:p
i love toooo much Megadeth. still, my list is ridiculously long when i attempt to sort my favourites...

:smoke:

[Nepenthe]

Off of KIMB, I like Last Rites/Loved To Deth and Looking Down The Cross best.

[heavy metal kid]

EDIT - Heavy Metal Kid, I got some email back saying that your email address does not exist. :(

astralmethal@hotmail.com

I havent used it months, that's why it wasn't activated. It should work by now.

[Bazarov]

okay, yay for me, I still have the link. I'll send it to you.

There we go.

[heavy metal kid]

Thanks Butcher, the demos are awesome, in some way even faster than the album versions.

[Lord Abortion]

Rattlehead of course!

[Bazarov]

You, your head!

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Best track off KIMB is The Chosen Ones.

[Nepenthe]

Best track off KIMB is The Chosen Ones.

Lyric wise, easily.

[Bazarov]

Who can't love a song about the rabbits in the Holy Grail?

[Nepenthe]

Who can't love a song about the rabbits in the Holy Grail?

Not I. Not anyone with even the slightest sense of humour either I would suspect.

I might have to finally leave MX now.

Something I said?

[Bazarov]

Not at all, I thought you were using sarcasm... so I decided to post some sarcasm...

NP: Megadeth - Set the World Afire

[Nepenthe]

NP: Megadeth - Set the World Afire

No sarcasm on my end.




Haha, I just realised how sarcastic sounding all of my posts were, including this one.



But really, no sarcasm over here.

[Bazarov]

Bah... now I'm confused. I'm tired so bare with me. You say that lyrically Chosen Ones is the best song on KIMB. Chosen Ones is about the killer rabbits.

edit: post 4747 I guess that's slightly cool.

[Nepenthe]

Hahaha. Yes, you are correct on everything you said. Even the post count edit.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Killer Rabbits ist krieg >:[

[Happy]

It's about killer rabbits? :amaze:
No way...

[willis2441]

so why is this thread so far back?

[Aw3someman]

Wait. Killer rabbits? :weird: Expound.

[Happy]

so why is this thread so far back?
It gets like that.

Maybe everyone's in shock from Killer Rabbits.

[Mother]

So "something that im not" is about Lars Ulrich ...

[Happy]

Yeah. Kind of disappointing, I think it's a bit childish.

[Mother]

yeah me too

[Chu]

So "something that im not" is about Lars Ulrich ...
Not really.. It's about all his past band members who have left him... :p

I said the same thing once :cool:

[Happy]

Did any of them actually leave?
I thought he sacked them all.

[Mother]

In a Vegas show Dave said this next song is about a danish piece of **** i used to play with, then he went into Something that i'm not!


So i heard ..

I think Friedman left on his own ... im not sure about ellefson and im not sure about james macdonohowtospellhisname.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I'm pretty sure Friedman left on his own. It's been a while since I read about it though.

[Happy]

I'm pretty sure Ellefson and James were fired.
Ellefson wouldn't have left his side by choice.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Well the The World Needs A Hero lineup wasn't really fired since Dave injured his arm and they disbanded. Ellefson choose not to come back.

[Rattlehead]

its not about Lars?!? i hope it isn't. is Ellefson the "danish peice of ****"?

[Aw3someman]

its not about Lars?!? i hope it isn't. is Ellefson the "danish peice of ****"?
Lars is Danish. Ellefson isn't the Danish piece of ****. Lars is.

[A-S-S-H-A-T]

when dave was retired (temporarilly) and disbanded megadeth due to his arm injury, him and effelson were in dispute over some financial rights issues, which effelson lost... when the band reassembled effelson was out of the picture

[heavy metal kid]

I thought Ellefson was talking bad about Dave, then he quited and sued Megadeth, then he lost and finally Dave counterattacked making Ellefson to waste a lot of money for nothing.

[Happy]

I think they're over it now though.

[Rattlehead]

Dave's a right cheeky bastard sometimes. Lars was a good friend of his. and its real low to write a load of **** about him. what was the specific insentive?

[Happy]

Lars kicked him out of Metallica

[Chu]

Lars is so much worse to Dave, then Dave to him.

Lars won't actually recognise what Dave did for Metallica (Which might not have been a whole lot in the big scope of things, but I don't think they would have started out so well had it not been for the equal input from all members, including Dave).

[Happy]

Yeah. If they didn't have Dave they would never have got big, or they may have taken some time to get big. When Dave joined he was the only one with balls enough to get the crowd going and push the other guys on.

[Bazarov]

All of the old Metallica videos with Dave still in the band, he's the only one talking to the crowd and trying to rile them up.

[Happy]

That's where James got his stage act from I guess.

[Happy]

Umm, so does anyone know meanings to any other songs?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Hook In Mouth is about censorship, and the PMRC in particular.

[Rattlehead]

does The Disintegrators have any specific meaning?? i love that song soo much.

[Rattlehead]

i asked a question...

/bump

[Mother]

I dont know ...

So half/most the new album was recorded in england ... and after a break for a month they are gonna finish it in LA. Its set to be out before the end of the year and gigantour 2

That's cool. I can't wait. It'll be good if it's like TSHF.

I can't believe Dave's releasing an album so soon.. Maybe he's just got so much energy after giving up drugs.. :p

It has been 3 years since TSHF.

I can't see it being more thrash then TSHF for some reason.

Droogies and She-Wolves!

This is the penultimate day in the studio, and I have been very secretive about where we are/were/are going to be regarding this recording because I knew I would want to invite some of you and that eventually word would get back to the boards about the songs.

Having said that, I wasn’t sniffing around the other guys posts and stuff because I have my hands full with the creation of the next Megadeth record. I found out that Glen, Shawn, and James have all been keeping you in the loop. But you know me; I wanted to share this time with you in some way, other than text and the thought came to have Michael Sarna come over and film the entire process. I met Michael and he agreed, and we are hopefully going to release something surrounding the making of “****** ************”.

Now, I had Michael send three brief clips over for the fanclubbers, and did the same with some snippets of myself, as well as one last time before we leave here. And I am back at the place where I was writing 100% Megadeth riffs for myself and not a label, a bandmate, or for radio anymore. I am not going to say what it sounds like, because that’s like explaining an orgasm to a virgin (excluding kiyardo, who suggests he was a masturbating virgin until nearly 27 or so), or trying to tell a blind person that the Mona Lisa really is an ugly woman by the time you stand in line 6 hours to see her at the Louver.

And to be blunt, I don’t want to deal with anyone saying, “Dave said, 'its RIP2',” because it ain’t!

Now for something completely different: some flesh for you little hungries!

This record will come out hopefully before Gigantour 2 and at least by the end of this year.

We have dates on the horizon, starting around August or September, with a possible festival appearance, and some out of NA Gigantouring at the end of the year.

Shawn did record on some of John Bonham’s old drums and the union is complete between Megadeth and Led Zeppelin.

I choose this studio so that I would be out of my environment and focused, but haven’t really played a thing.

This is lead guitarist David Gilmour of Pink Floyd's previous home, whom also considered using the name Megadeath.

The house and studio is beautiful yes, but also supposedly haunted, and I have fallen three times here, and can’t tell you how, or why I fell, I just did. And I never fall down!

There is a headstone in the basement of all places.


Thanks to all of the wonderful staff of SARM Hook End near Reading UK, to the owners and management of the studio, and the Phillippa the Chef

So, that is it for now. I will be leaving for the airport Wednesday and may see some of you on my way home. And like I said, G2 info coming very soon! We will be taking most of the rest of the month off and starting back up with overdubs in L.A. at the end of the month.

A huge thanks to Jeff Balding, the fifth Megadeth member practically, my personal and business managers who worked so hard to get us over here at a moments notice, to our usual stage manager TJ Rodriguez who handled all of the guitar and bass teching, and to Dave McRobb and Michael Sarna for filming and editing the Megafanclubber’s film clips. There will be more over the course of the next day or so, as we get ready to leave.

Lastly, I just asked Jeff if I could talk to him about one last thing before we left.

I have a surprise for you

COG2 –COG Intl.

[Chu]

It has been 3 years since TSHF.
Jesus, time flies, that long ehh?

*I've been on MX too long, it seriously seems like this time last year TSHF was released. :X

Edit: Also, considering how busy he's been with Gigantour, losing band members etc.

... What does the last thing mean? (The COG2 -COG Intl), "Come on Gigantour 2"? Something about International bands? (or even possibly Gigantour going international?!)

[Happy]

And to be blunt, I don’t want to deal with anyone saying, “Dave said, 'its RIP2',” because it ain’t!

Anyone know what the title is? “****** ************”
Second word seems quite long...

Dave said around when Gigantour was on that they were seriously trying to get it down here.

Is Gigantour always gonna be the same bands?

[Chu]

Nah, variety of bands.

What megadeth albums/songs have 2 words like that?

Actually thats what the album will be called some 6 letter word in the beginnig and a 12 letter word at the end.

Shall we randomly take guesses at what it's gonna be called?

ARCH ENEMY Confirmed For GIGANTOUR 2 - May 5, 2006

ARCH ENEMY guitarist Michael Amott has revealed to MTV.com that his band will definitely be featured on this fall's Gigantour 2 heavy metal festival tour.

"We know we're on ... the main stage, and I know it runs from late August to October," he said, adding that the only other band he knows will be on the bill is MEGADETH — sort of a given, since Dave Mustaine organizes the festival. "We're excited about coming back to the U.S. once again. We're happy we can get work, you know? It's going to be a good tour for us. We did Ozzfest last year and we made a lot of new fans and sold a lot of records. It's great to come out on another big package tour, and I think there's probably a more traditional metal audience out there who could pick up on what we do as well through Gigantour."
I also read a rumour of Opeth and Sevendust.

[Enlighten Me]

God man.. the previous Gigantour was the ****.. Megadeath, Dream Theater, Symphony X, Nevermore... it'll never be that good again :(
I might be in the states during the next one.. i'll have to go!

[Lord Abortion]

I also read a rumour of Opeth and Sevendust.
Who the hell are Sevendust?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I think they're some nu-metal band or something, I recognise the name.

[Happy]

I hope DT play it again.
Megadeth/Opeth/DT would be the best concert ever.

[Enlighten Me]

I keep trying to get into Opeth, but the growling turns me off :(

[Lord Abortion]

Get Damnation then.

[Drone]

You'll get used to it eventually and love it! That's what happened to me, anyway. :D

[GenuineImitation]

I hope DT play it again.

I don't think DT will be playing. They are taking the summer off before they begin working on a new album.

well I guess that's good then. I wanna hear what they come up with next.

Whered you hear that they were recording a new album?

It's most probably somewhere on the MP boards.

Whered you hear that they were recording a new album?


They told us at the DT concert that I went to that they were taking the summer off to spend time with their family, and to work on new material.

[Happy]

DT can produce a record in 2 weeks. They could easily manage it next year :D

[eug008]

Now this sounds good.

[Chu]

Dave Mustaine > John Petrucci in the riff department though.

[Happy]

And JP Pwns him in every other way guitar-wise.

[Chu]

Yeah, but Mustaine's power is in his riffs!
No one can write as good as Mustaine!!

[Enlighten Me]

Megadeth is what riffs is all about, you can't really compare it's different

absolutely, KIMB riffage ftw.

stop comparing, JP is totallty different to DM.

[Happy]

Comparing? I'm stating JP is a better guitarist :p

Unless Dave proves me wrong on the new album with 16ths at 300bpm.

[Enlighten Me]

Dude, even if Dave is capable of pulling that off, it most likely be kinda sloppy.
Plus most of his stuff is pentatonic so creativity is kinda lacking.
So i must agree JP is way better :p

[Mother]

The only problem I have with JP is that most of his solo's are so "Blah" ... all It is is speed.

[Enlighten Me]

The only problem I have with JP is that most of his solo's are so "Blah" ... all It is is speed.

I disagree!
He has alot of tasteful stuff.. Another Day, Peruvian Skies, OverTure1928 are some examples.
btw, whats wrong with speed? :naughty:

[Mother]

I was talking about songs like "As I am" and "In the Name of God" off Train Of tought. He has some good moments too like "learning to live".

[Enlighten Me]

Well yeah ToT is pretty much wankage :p

[Happy]

The only problem I have with JP is that most of his solo's are so "Blah" ... all It is is speed.
If you're basing that on ToT then fair enough because all he does is shred on that album. It's completely different on other albums.

[Chu]

Unless Dave proves me wrong on the new album with 16ths at 300bpm.
Speed = Skill?

I think Speed's just practice....

[Lord Abortion]

Comparing? I'm stating JP is a better guitarist :p

Unless Dave proves me wrong on the new album with 16ths at 300bpm.
Yeah, JP is one of the best, if not the best guitarist in the world, so although Dave is excellent, it's hard to compete with that.

[Happy]

Speed = Skill?

I think Speed's just practice....
Okay, maybe I shouldn't have said that.
But the solo on Spirit Carries on > any solo Dave wrote.

[Hollywood Rose]

Do any of you guys have the limited edition greatest hits thing, that comes with a DVD? It's pretty awesome.

[Happy]

Yeah the DVD's alright apart from the fact you can't hear Marty.

[Chu]

Okay, maybe I shouldn't have said that.
But the solo on Spirit Carries on > any solo Dave wrote.
That may be so. But as I said, Dave's power is in his riffs.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Friedman is better than Petrucci anyway. Tornado Of Souls and Lucretia > *

[FatalEnergy]

Everyone here has totally forgotten Jason Becker, who makes everyone else look like they suck.

[Chu]

Nah, I don't think anyone forgot him, he just didn't have anything to do with the topic.

[Happy]

Imagine If JB had played for Megadeth...

[Enlighten Me]

Imagine If JB had played for Megadeth...

:eek:

[Lord Abortion]

Jason who?

[Chu]

<3 - Best possible reply :)

[Mother]

:confused:

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah...still have absolutely no idea who he is.

[Mother]

He was the other guitarist who played with Marty Friedman in cacophony.



*I feel stupid*

[Chu]

Sorry, but Friedman was just another guitarist who played with Jason Becker in Cacophony.

Becker made Cacophony unique, not just another shred band.

[Enlighten Me]

Man both Becker and Friedman were around 18 when they released the cacophony albums.

[Chu]

Becker was 17 I think, and isn't Marty about 5 years older?

[Lord Abortion]

I don't know who Cacophany were either...

[Enlighten Me]

Well I was wrong, i just checked it out.
And btw Marty is 8 years older than him.

[Happy]

Jason who?
Wow. I thought you'd heard of Becker or Cacophony.

[Chu]

Well I was wrong, i just checked it out.
And btw Marty is 8 years older than him.
Didn't realise Marty was that old :x

[pep]

whatever the case, it was both who made cacophony unique, not just jason.

[FatalEnergy]

I don't know who Cacophany were either...


You've got some major catching up to do.

[Happy]

Agreed. I might upload some for anyone who wants it.

[Enlighten Me]

Cacophony is great, but the vocals suck. the singer screams as if his balls were caught in a blender.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

says the man with a Dream Theater avatar :D

Cacophony is ok but Shred ain't my thing.

[Enlighten Me]

[Mother]

I always Phew was something ou say when you make a lucky escape..


Im off to think about it for a while.

[Happy]

Peter Marrino sucks so bad.
People who think Dave's singing is bad should hear him!

[Drone]

I think it is funny that a lot of the time when people find fault in Megadeth, it is just because of Dave's voice, and never the music. Dave is actually one of my favorite vocalists. His snarl displays a certain attitude and anger that I have yet to find in any other vocalist.

[Happy]

I hated the vocals at first, now he's one of my favourite singers.

[Drone]

I loved the vocals from the minute I heard them. The only ones that get on my nerves a little are his vocals on KIMB. I think his voice is currently in the best shape it has ever been in.

[Happy]

Yeah, He just gets better and better. He can still do the early stuff too, unlike some singers.

[Mother]

His voice will always stand out.

[Drone]

Yes, Tom Araya is a good example of someone who can barely do vocals now at all. It's a shame, too. :(

His vocals were not too bad when I saw Slayer in 2004, but in many live bootlegs I have seen, he sounds terrible. Dave sounded amazing at Gigantour in Montreal, though. The snarls in The Scorpion and in Set the World Afire sounded awesome. Holy crap, I hope I can go again this year! Did you all know that Gigantour is going to be international this time around?

[Rattlehead]

definately, i know what you mean. i love Dave's vocals. if anyone questions them, they don't know what he plays at the same time.... quite brilliant

[Cannibalcorpse1626]

Yeah, Dave has a great voice.

[Enlighten Me]

I too like Dave's voice. Except for sweating bullets which is kinda lame.

[victim of changes]

i've never really doubted dave's vocals but they fit in with the band perfectly, another obvious example of someone who can barely do vocals now is hetfield they keep getting worse, and worse its a shame i still cant wait for their album though.

Dave Mustaine is my favourite singer (and my favourite guitarist/musician).
His voice is so unique, it's hard to describe, and even harder to imitate.

That song owns.

I do a good Dave impression... In my head.

Daves voice on the Gigantour footage (Arsenal) is the best I've heard of him live.

Oh, he definitely can't sing at all. I still like his voice, though.

Nothing's been officially announced. He said it'll come later in the month. I'm hopin' for Symphony X to come back.

Hopefully it gets a bigger reception.

I heard last years was pretty empty at some places.



Next in playlist -Set the world afire (Sweet)

[vashts80]

I'm hoping Opeth are on it. I'd love to see them again, seeing as how I saw them in October but they came to Pittsburgh in Feb and not Philly or Atlantic City.

I've heard rumors about Opeth, especially seeing as how their South American tour was pushed back, but I don't know if Dave would even consider them because they're death metal.

[heavy metal kid]

Hopefully it gets a bigger reception.

I heard last years was pretty empty at some places.


Yep, it was kind of empty in San Diego and it wasn't a big venue.
Some of the rumored bands were Overkill, Venom and Dragonforce i read something about it on wikipedia, but sometimes i just don't trust the wiki system.

but I don't know if Dave would even consider them because they're death metal.

Opeth has dark lyrics, but none of them are like kill everyone or anti-christian, Dave wouldn't have a problem with the band.

[pep]

Hmmm, it may have been said before, but when is the new gigantour site comming up?

[Blue Collar Man]

Hmmm, it may have been said before, but when is the new gigantour site comming up?

I've been checking it frequently but all it shows is that ominous Gigantour2 which just makes me extremely anxious. That would be amazing if Opeth were on it and Dragonforce too. That would probably bring a lot more people.

[Bazarov]

but I don't know if Dave would even consider them because they're death metal.
Opeth aren't death metal. But yeah like Heavy Metal Kid said, Dave would only have a problem with them if they had Anti-Christian, Satan praising lyrics.

[vashts80]

Opeth aren't death metal.
lolz. Just...lolz.

But yeah like Heavy Metal Kid said, Dave would only have a problem with them if they had Anti-Christian, Satan praising lyrics.
...And Venom aren't Anti-Christian?

Guys, use common sense.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

lolz. Just...lolz.
I'd say Butcher is right.

When did Megadeth last play with Venom?

[Bazarov]

lolz. Just...lolz.

No you fool, Opeth are not death metal.

Dave used/likes to like Venom.. there's a few pictures around of him with Metallica, he's wearing a Venom tshirt, maybe that's where he's going with that.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

yeah, Metallica, Megadeth etc etc were all influenced by Venom. I thought he meant they toured with them recently.

It's not like Venom are actually serious about that stuff anyway.

[guitrguy]

No you fool, Opeth are not death metal.
Quoted for truth. Listen to Opeth and Cryptopsy and its clear the Opeth is not Death Metal.

[Mother]

Lol Cryptopsy makes Cannibal Corpse look like just plain Heavy Metal.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

.....that was random

[Lord Abortion]

Lol Cryptopsy makes Cannibal Corpse look like just plain Heavy Metal.
It depends what eras you're looking at, if you're thinking about early CC(first three albums) then nah, but Cryptopsy were much more technical at that point. Cryptopsy are tech-death, really, and CC are still brutal death, although they have elements of technicality nowadays...but you can't say eaten back to life is in any way tech...but The wretched spawn certainly is more so. Cryptopsy just don't stand out much for me...

[Enlighten Me]

Thrash > Death

[Drone]

Opeth was asked to be on Gigantour 2 and they are seriously considering it.

[Mother]

I have a feeling testament may be on the bill

[Crysiss]

Opeth was asked to be on Gigantour 2 and they are seriously considering it.

Oh yayer, I hope they do it.

they better hurry rounding up bands, Summer is just around the bend

[Blue Collar Man]

Hey guys I just read that Arch Enemy are officially confirmed for Gigantour 2 and they are the only band that is officially on it so far. Besides Megadeth obviously. But man, Opeth would be amazing I really hope they join this.

[Happy]

Opeth on Gigantour coming here would be creamworthy.

[GenuineImitation]

If Opeth is on, I defiently need to go.

[Drone]

In the interview with Mikael that I have, he says that he wants to do it, BUT the tour goes through his only time off from touring and his wife doesn't want him to go. :p

From what I know about Mikael's personality, though, I think he will do it. I can't see him turning down a tour with one of the big 4 of the 80's.

[Happy]

He'd be mad to not do it.

[Drone]

Yes. I will be very surprised if he doesn't, but Dave has got to give them the co-headlining spot. It would be pointless to give Opeth 45 minutes, especially if a poopy band like Anthrax (IMO) got the co-headlining spot.

[Happy]

I think Opeth will get co-headliners. :)

[Mother]

So, megadeth just got singed to roadrunner.



I never liked roadrunner ... But still. Its not like I can do any thing about it.

[Happy]

Ugh.
I don't know why, but I don't like this.

[Lord Abortion]

Relax, kids...It's Megadave...he's not going to screw people over because he signed the band to a Major-label company.

[Happy]

Yeah Dave is too awesome to sell out... I hope.

[Neoteric]

Yeah Dave is too awesome to sell out... I hope.
*cough* Risk *cough*

[Apocalyptic Raids]

meh, I don't think what label they're signed to will make much of a difference, even though Roadrunner have pretty crap bands these days.

They used to have some awesome bands back in the late 80's/early 90's though.

[GenuineImitation]

Relax, kids...It's Megadave...he's not going to screw people over because he signed the band to a Major-label company.

I agree. Look at Opeth for an example. They signed to RoadRunner, but they are the same band. Megadeth will always be the Megadeth we know and love.

[heavy metal kid]

did Megadeth really signed on RR? I haven't seen anything on RR page or Megadeth.com.

Im not sure. It sounds like they did from the posts, but it could all be speculation.

[Hevy Tred]

*cough* Risk *cough*

First rule about megadeth, We dont talk about risk.

[Hevy Tred]

No you fool, Opeth are not death metal.

.
[Whine=Hevy Tred]
Opeth are progressive death, with jazz influence (That phrase has been used forever) But you cant lump opeth together with cryptopsy and all that.

They are Opeth for that reason.

Opeth > all

[/bitch]

:rolleyes:



I want to see Megadeth again.

[Chu]

*cough* Risk *cough*
I heard Marty Friedman wrote a lot of Risk, any truth to that?

[Lord Abortion]

Opeth are not Death Metal, seriously.

Harsh vocals do NOT make a DM band...I mean we could call Children of Bodom DM if you took that view, and that would be laughable.

[Happy]

*cough* Risk *cough*
Making a crap album doesn't mean selling out.

[Lord Abortion]

Making a crap album doesn't mean selling out.
Yeah, it's not good, but I can't say it's overtly commercial or anything.

[Happy]

Exactly. Now if he had filled that album with BSB type music, replacing guitar with synthesisers and sacking the rest of the band for the members of Blue, then that would've been selling out.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I heard Marty Friedman wrote a lot of Risk, any truth to that?
It wouldn't suprise me.

[Happy]

It's probably true seeing as he did leave Megadeth to concentrate on a more pop-orientated career.

[Lord Abortion]

I got my copy of KIMB today through the post.

[Happy]

Is it the remastered version?

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, I haven't had the chance to put it on yet, cause of the cricket.

[Happy]

Cool stuff. You shan't be unimpressed.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

The Chosen Ones is great, and probably my favourite of KIMB.

NP: Blind Guardian - Majesty.

best BG song by far, the solo sounds a hell of alot like Tornado Of Souls :cool:

[Enlighten Me]

Is Blind Guardian anything special? The only power metal ive heard was HammerFall.
I mean it's fun and puts you in a good mood with all the choruses and nice melodies but nothing special, you know what I mean?

[Happy]

Try Rhapsody, dragonforce and Sonata Arctica.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, Hammerfall aren't anything special...middle of the road PM.

[Mother]

did Megadeth really signed on RR? I haven't seen anything on RR page or Megadeth.com.


http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=52169



that was my source ... not very reliable.. but still.

[Happy]

Kinda confusing why it's not on the main site then.

[Drone]

Maybe Dave doesn't want it to be put up until he announces it himself. I would 100% bet that is why it's not there.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, it would be that, I think.

[Happy]

There's nothing on the Megadeth site.

Maybe it's a lie...

[Drone]

If you are a member of the forums, you know that he likes to keeps the fans waiting in suspense. He will probably announce it on the Megadeth forums before he does anywhere else. People were making threads about the Roadrunner rumours and the System Lords were deleting them. There has been no other rumur of another label. I would say the Roadrunner deal is legit. We'll all see in due time anyway. I'm almost more concerned about Gigantour!

[Happy]

I think it's a give-away if they're deleting the threads then.

[eug008]

The Megadeth signing to Roadrunner is now official, check the Megadeth Site. And Daves finalizing the G2 lineup so it shouldn't be long now before we know what bands are on the list. I think Dragonforce will probably be cause they are no longer going to be playing on the "sounds of the underground" tour.

For Immediate Release

May 15, 2006
ROADRUNNER RECORDS SIGNS MEGADETH

New York , NY - Roadrunner Records is proud to announce the signing of Megadeth. Already known as one of rock's most forward-thinking bands, Megadeth and its frontman Dave Mustaine have cast a long shadow on the metal and hard rock landscape with millions of records sold worldwide and an undeniable influence echoed in scores of young bands today.

"We are proud to be working with one of the chief architects of modern hard rock and metal: Dave Mustaine. Megadeth and Roadrunner have led parallel careers on the cutting edge of metal for years now. The combination of the two is bound to be lethal," says A&R man, Mike Gitter.

Mustaine says of his new home "It is exciting to be some place you are respected, understood and appreciated. The truth is there's a lot of people I've known there over the years. I'm stoked we're all coming back together again to work on this project."

Megadeth has begun work on its as-yet-untitled Roadrunner debut under the watchful eye of Mustaine and co-producer Jeff Balding (who helmed 2004's The System Has Failed) .

Mustaine is presently finalizing the lineup for Megadeth's Gigantour 2 festival tour of the US .

[Happy]

I wonder how many albums they signed up for.
I can't see Megadeth doing another 8 albums.

[Mother]

I think we are near the end ... I cant see megadeth past more than two albums.

[superdigg]

so what's everyone actually think of the roadrunner deal? roadrunner seems to have several bad bands, i hope they don't influence megadeth too much.

[Happy]

Imagine Dave on the next roadrunner united...

[eug008]

Opeth got signed to them and they didn't change their music.

[Mother]

I doubt megadeth will change ... If they do then i will be very dissapointed.

[Huber]

Roadrunner wont change Megadeth. Dave Mustaine would eat them first.

[Drone]

Haha, Huber that actually made me laugh. Here is what Shawn Drover said about the deal in his very recent post:

"So now it is official, we have signed with Roadrunner Records, which for me personally is something that I am very happy about!! These guys specialize in Metal bands, and have done so for over 25 years now, so with that said I believe this will be a long and solid relationship between Megadeth and Roadrunner."

I don't think there are going to be any problems, and the promotion for Megadeth's new album will help them a lot!

[WeezerTool523]

I doubt a label would change the music they make. The only time Dave changed music for others were when Marty and Nick wanted to make risk more alternative.

[Rattlehead]

I think we are near the end ... I cant see megadeth past more than two albums.
i can! \m/

Roadrunner wont change Megadeth. Dave Mustaine would eat them first.
absolutely. Mustaine is to stubborn to be influenced. which is a quality.

[Drone]

Well, I think he was a little influenced by Lars when it came to Risk. The man is not perfect, but I agree with your statement for the most part and I do admire him for it.

[Happy]

How did Lars influence Risk?

[heavy metal kid]

I think Risk was influenced by the band itself, Marty Friedman was searching for "this" new sound, he got bored of metal.

So I have this strange feeling about MD and RR records, i just hope none of the bands of the label make it to Gigantour, except Opeth and Machine Head.

[Chu]

lol

[FatalEnergy]

Yeah, I am more concerned about Dave's choices for Gigantour 2 being effected by the new label, not the quality of his music.

[Happy]

Hmm. I never thought about that. It'll be interesting to see if RR influence Gigantour at all.

[Drone]

How did Lars influence Risk?

Lars said in an interview around that time period that Megadeth is a good band, but they don't take any risks. The rest is history.

Friedman influenced it even more, but Dave's obsession with Metallica and his desire to prove Lars wrong in this situation still shines through as part of Risk's foundation.
