Megadeth

[Aw3someman]

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.
*cough*DragonForce*cough*

Yeah they do have some crap bands like Opeth and some of those emo/Hot Topic related bands.

[GenuineImitation]

What do you have against Opeth? Im not saying you have to like them, Im just curious.

I actually just dislike the obnoxious fanboyism that goes on at my school. I sat down and listened to their music and thought it was pretty meh. Not great but not bad. But music is all subjective so w/e

Its better than the Fall out Boy and AC/DC fanboyism at my school.

[blue3]

Its better than the Fall out Boy and AC/DC fanboyism at my school.hah, that's the same with my school.

[Bazarov]

Its better than the Fall out Boy and AC/DC fanboyism at my school.
I'd rather deal with that than, the kids at my school who think that Job For A Cowboy is grindcore and Children of Bodom is black metal.

So yeah, Killing Is My Business...and Business is Good!, the verse is one of the coolest riffs I can think of right now.

Using infra red, targets on you, aimed at your head :cool:

[gillygan]

I showed one of my good friends who dosn't listen to a whole lot music megadeth. He ttally loves it. I was so excited for 'em :)

[Bazarov]

Yeah it's cool when you start to get your friends into your music. And if it's Megadeth that's a plus.

[Moses]

My band is doing a cover of Devil's Island. It's going pretty good. I'm taking Mustaine's solos on keyboard (actually they're kinda gay so I'm just gonna make up my own) and my lead guitarist is taking Poland's.

[eug008]

Dave won't put **** bands on Gigantour because of Roadrunner, he's not an idiot.

[Happy]

Haha I'd like to hear it with keyboards.

[Mother]

haha .. like the norther keyboard solo of tornado of souls eh.

[Happy]

I still haven't found that.

[Mother]

i can send it to you if you want.

[Happy]

That'd be cool if you can

jevgenji_hershplinikov@hotmail.co.uk

Thanks.

[Mother]

k sent

[Happy]

Many thanks.

[Lord Abortion]

I hope to be covering Mechanix soon.
I love the lyrics too much.

It's almost as good as Rattlehead...and that's saying something.
/has spent last few days with KIMB on all the time.

[Happy]

I really don't like the KIMB lyrics. They're just a bit immature in places.

[Chu]

I hope to be covering Mechanix soon.

/has spent last few days with KIMB on all the time.
Heh, I want to cover some Megadeth, but I don't want to ask my* band to learn the songs :p

Unfortunately, this band is a bunch of stoners, and like most stoners, they practice once every 6 months (...And they're all better then me, and I play for maybe 6 hours a day.)

*Not my band, but I was asked to play Lead guitar.

[MetalOz]

My old band used to cover Holy Wars but the breakdown with Friedman's acoustic bit always sounded like crap so we never performed it in a club or anything. Although we did Symphony of Destruction with no problem :)

[Lord Abortion]

That's because Symphony is easy.

[Enlighten Me]

Symphony has a kick *** solo though.

[MetalOz]

That's because Symphony is easy.

Exactly! And the funny thing about it, the crowd went crazy over it (this was 10 years ago mind you...)

[Happy]

Man i really should learn SOD.

[GenuineImitation]

Symphony is a real fun song to play. I think I have the whole thing down minus the solo. I have about a quarter though.



On a side note, Megadeth is now my second favorite band after Dream Theater.

[Happy]

Basically the way it is for me :thumb:

[Chu]

Heh, same as me, although the line between Megadeth and Dream Theater is very thin.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Megadeth would be in my Top 5 somewhere. I'm not sure though.

[Happy]

Heh, same as me, although the line between Megadeth and Dream Theater is very thin.
I always thought you didn't like DT...

[victim of changes]

I prefer Megadeth, i love DT though they are just incredible.

[Happy]

DT own Megadeth at everything but heaviness (and riffs before someone says anything :p )
But it's all down to preference :)

[Blue Collar Man]

I was just thinking about how it seems like how all the huge Megadeth fans are also huge DT fans just like myself. I guess it's true.

[Happy]

DT & Megadeth on Gigantour would've been perfect if it had come to England :(

[Blue Collar Man]

Yup it was pretty much perfect. Especially with Symphony X too.:)

[Chu]

I always thought you didn't like DT...
Pfft, I love DT, I love Awake, mmm riffs :)

[Happy]

Yeah it has some great ones on it, like Lie :dribbles:

[Chu]

Indeed, if you look through the DT thread, talking about favourite pieces of work by DT Members or something similar.

Everything about Lie, is my favourite work by a member of DT (Obviously Petrucci, more so because of the solo, but the whole song kicks major ***).

Petrucci + Mustaine would be the **** imo, I just wish they would release their cover of Cemetary Gates...

[Happy]

I'd kill to hear that.

[Rattlehead]

DT own Megadeth at everything but heaviness (and riffs before someone says anything :p )

no waay. although i love some DT, i dont like the guitar tone. and also, having listened to DT alot, i still cant quickly recall any particular riff. they arent nearly as catchy as megadeth riffs, IMO.

IMO, Megadeth are a far, far better band. lyrically, they are better too. the Glass Prison lyrics seem annoyingly easy to write, to me. and as a prog band, i dont think DT have nearly as much character and feeling as Megadeth.


Petrucci + Mustaine would be the **** imo, I just wish they would release their cover of Cemetary Gates...
wow, that would be incredible. that would be extremely incredible. *slobbers*

[Chu]

Don't you remember?

When Gigantour was in, wherever Dimebag's from (Sorry, I don't think too much of him, I don't know where he's from), Dream Theater covered Cemetary Gates, and Mustaine played the solo... Someone said it would be released on DVD, but I'm still waiting.

[Happy]

Mike Portnoy's lyrics leave a lot to be desired. He wrote TGP. His best lyrics would be A Change of Seasons but overall, Petrucci is a better lyricist.

Chu: yeah, I heard about it but I've never seen or heard the actual song

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I think they were planning a Gigantour dvd, but maybe that was cancelled in favour of Aresenal Of Megadeth?

[Chu]

[...]but overall, Myung is a better lyricist.
Fix'd.

Learning To Live ftw;

maybe. or just simply delayed/postponed.

[Happy]

Fix'd.

Learning To Live ftw;
Myung doesn't write enough lyrics.


I sure hope there is a Gigantour DVD. Not doing it because of Arsenal would suck.

[Stoo]

I got Arsenal yesaterday. Not watched it yet though...

[clairvoyant]

I think Megadeth needs to release a DVD of something pre 97

[eug008]

Fix'd.

Learning To Live ftw;

Yup Myung is easily the best lyric writer in DT, Learning to Live has the best lyrics (in a DT song)

[eug008]

And the Gigantour DVD is meant to come out arond the start of Gigantour 2

[Chu]

New (http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=52572) Megadeth Videos. :thumb:

[eug008]

BTW heres the site

http://www.image-entertainment.com/detail.cfm?productID=43524

84mins and 3 disks? Shouldn't it be just one?

[GenuineImitation]

No anthrax clips? Im kind of disapointed with that... I'll still get it anyway.

[Happy]

84 mins? Is that it from a huge concert like that?

[GenuineImitation]

84 mins? Is that it from a huge concert like that?


It does seem a bit short.

I wish there were a few more Megadeth, DT, Symphony X and Nevermore songs.

[dr._feelgood]

Does anyone know when Gigantour 2's line-up is going to be announced?

[pep]

No Anthrax? hmmmm...

The Megadeth setlist isnt what I expected.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

84mins and 3 disks? Shouldn't it be just one?
3 disks is probably so the can separate the concert footage, back stage stuff and documentarys or something.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah it has some great ones on it, like Lie :dribbles:
SFAM has some great riffs too...Home and Beyond this life especially.

NP-Tornado of souls.

[Happy]

I never used to appreciate the TOS solo, until now.
It's a masterpiece.

[eug008]

Does anyone know when Gigantour 2's line-up is going to be announced?

Should be announced soon as dave is "finalising" the bands in the tour

[Blue Collar Man]

I never used to appreciate the TOS solo, until now.
It's a masterpiece.

Definatley a masterpiece. Especially the part at 3:50. It's such a well crafted solo that I often overlooked when I first heard it. It's probably my favorite solo of Marty's or even of Megadeth.

[Aw3someman]

Definatley a masterpiece. Especially the part at 3:50. It's such a well crafted solo that I often overlooked when I first heard it. It's probably my favorite solo of Marty's or even of Megadeth.
I think Marty has better solo's but it's definetly one of Megadeth's finer solo's

[DimeRanG]

I never used to appreciate the TOS solo, until now.
It's a masterpiece.
I loved it the first time I heard it. It is so well-written it is just inspiring.

[Nepenthe]

That solo still gives me goosebumps, 5 years after hearing it for the first time. As does the rest of the song following it.

[Bazarov]

The solo on Hangar 18 at 3:15 is my absolute favorite Megadeth solo.

[eug008]

Marty=God

But I like the 2:48 solo in Hangar 18 better

[Happy]

Definatley a masterpiece. Especially the part at 3:50. It's such a well crafted solo that I often overlooked when I first heard it. It's probably my favorite solo of Marty's or even of Megadeth.
It's kinda difficult for me to play too. I can't stretch from the 10th to 17th fret :(

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Lucretia and Tornado Of Souls own any other Megadeth solos.

[Happy]

Is it me or is the whole of RIP extremely difficult to play?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah, it isn't exaclty easy.

[Happy]

I think the only song off it I can play fully is Take No Prisoners.

[Hevy Tred]

I really wish marty wouldnt have quit. he was a genious. You should check out some of his solo ****, and his instructional videos. Hes a goddamn...god

My favorite solo would have to be the second one in Set the World Afire

[Happy]

His solo stuff and work with Becker is amazing.
Much better than his Megadeth stuff.

[Nepenthe]

Marty didn't play on Set The World Afire.

Yeah, the Lucretia solo is good as well. I'm not sure why so many people dislike that song, I quite like it.

[Hevy Tred]

Whoops i meant that as a new paragraph, wasnt jeff young on for SFSGSW, or was it poland? I think poland left after peace sells...

[Happy]

T'was Young.

[Lord Abortion]

Take no prisoners is possibly my least favourite track on there..apart from Poison was the cure.

[victim of changes]

Poland did leave after peace sells...

[Bazarov]

Marty=God

But I like the 2:48 solo in Hangar 18 better

Actually yeah that one is awesome as well.

[Nepenthe]

Take no prisoners is possibly my least favourite track on there..apart from Poison was the cure.

I agree on the Take No Prisoners, but not on Poison Was The Cure. I like that song.

[Happy]

I used to, don't now.

[Nepenthe]

I assume I still do. I haven't given anything off of RIP a listen in months. In fact, I haven't given any Megadeth a listen in probably 4 or 5 months.

[Drone]

I listen to Megadeth every day :D.

[eug008]

TNP is a great track IMO

[Bazarov]

I listen to Megadeth every day :D.
Everyone should.

[Lord Abortion]

I listen to them alot...but possibly not as much as I should.

/shame.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I don't listen to them nearly as much as I used to.

[Enlighten Me]

I love Take No Prisoners, kickass riffs.

Five Magics Has some crazy solos.

[Father]

I dont think i will ever get fed up of Tornado of souls.

[Happy]

I listen to Megadeth every day :D.
I used to.
I still love them, but it's something I can't manage.

[Drone]

Well sometimes I can't either, but if I am at my house all day then I have no problem managing it. I also like both Poison Was the Cure and Take No Prisoners!

[Bazarov]

I don't listen to them nearly as much as I used to.
Was it you that said that RIP was the best metal album? If so.. do you still think that?

[GenuineImitation]

I think RIP is one of the best metal albums.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Was it you that said that RIP was the best metal album? If so.. do you still think that?
Equal best with Painkiller and Bonded By Blood.

[Bazarov]

Okay.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I did used to considering it the best though.

[Chu]

Can't stand Bonded By Blood :p

[Apocalyptic Raids]

If you don't like Bonded By Blood, you are not my friend.

:p

[Bazarov]

When I first heard it.. I was like, "meh, nothing special." But now I really love that album.

[Britton]

When I first heard it.. I was like, "meh, nothing special." But now I really love that album.



That's how all of their albums have been with me.


I still have learned to like the world needs a hero though...

[Chu]

If you don't like Bonded By Blood, you are not my friend.

:p
Pffft :p

Meh, I find the guitar boring and the vocals to be somewhat annoying.
I know a few Exodus fans, and when I told them I couldn't stand Bonded By Blood, they said I should check out any one of their newer albums (My main dislike is the vocals, so maybe they got a new vocalist since?), or something similar.

To be honest, I was quite gone, and much of that night has become a blurr.. :p

[Apocalyptic Raids]

The guy who did vocals on BBB (Paul Baloff) is dead, and BBB is the only album he is on. Try some songs off Fabulous Disaster, I think you would like that.

That's how all of their albums have been with me.

*go's to bed*

[eug008]

Thats pretty much the same with me, i didn't really like BBB but "Tempo Of The Damned" by them is quite good. Scar Spangled Banner is a sick song.

[Chu]

Someone once did a Featured Artist on Exodus (Apocalytic Raids' maybe?), and included a mailing list of a few songs...

He had a little bio for the songs, and one of the songs Kirk Hammett helped write... For some reason the name 'Tempo of The Damned' rings a bell, if it is, I had a listen.. I didn't really like it :p

[Happy]

I think RIP is one of the best metal albums.
Same here.
I was amazed when I first listened.

Yeah, I did a write-up on them once :D (http://www.sputnikmusic.com/forums/showthread.php?t=392191).

The song which Hammett had a hand in writing was Impaler, which is off Tempo Of The Damned. The riff he contributed is the same one that in under the first solo in Trapped Under Ice.

[Happy]

Hammett only contributed to one Exodus song? :eek:

I'm a stoner, my memory isn't too bad considering! :p

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Hammett only contributed to one Exodus song? :eek:
Well there is about another half-dozen demo era Exodus songs which were never recorded on an album. He may have contributed some more there. Fun fact: While drinking one night Kirk, Gary Holt, Paul Baloff and Tom Hunting decided to each cut their hands and pressed them together. Gary and Paul wrote the song Bonded By Blood about it, and Kirk still has the scar on his hand.

Now that I think of it, I remember hearing that a couple of parts of Creeping Death may have been in early Exodus songs, but I'm not sure.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, Metallica stole the bridge from "Dying by his hand" for Creeping Death.

[Happy]

And I bet there's millions of people like me who didn't even know that :eek:

[GenuineImitation]

Yeah, Metallica stole the bridge from "Dying by his hand" for Creeping Death.


They stole that? Thats the best part of the song and they didnt even write it.

[eug008]

Impaler is a boring song IMO

[eug008]

Has anyone heard any of Chris Polands stuff?

[victim of changes]

No, but Friedman's.

[dr._feelgood]

Does anyone know when Dave's going to announce the Gigantour line-up?

[eug008]

Damn I really need to hear some of Poland

[WeezerTool523]

Does anyone know when Dave's going to announce the Gigantour line-up?

He said by the end of the month, but I don't see it happening :\

[Happy]

He has to.
You can't have a festival with no line-up :confused:

[pep]

He´s taking too long..

[eug008]

Agreed

[Happy]

Imagine if Gigantour doesn't happen this year :eek:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Doesn't bother me :D

[Happy]

Why, because it doesn't come to Australia anyway?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Damn straight. Although there were rumours that Dave was trying to bring it our way.

If Unholy Alliance can some, I don't see why Gigantour can't...

[eug008]

Whaaa is Unholy Alliance coming? And yeh Dave was trying to bring G2 down to AUS

[eug008]

Is anyone a member of the deth fan club???

If you are you need to post some of the studio vids for us

[eug008]

OMGOMGOMG found the site

http://rock945.com/skin/event.php?sectionId=178&contentId=14670&PHPSESSID=9b949fe2e019d72bc32648fa4f293127

Sales also wants to take the tour global and said following its U.S. run, the Alliance will return to Europe, followed by stints in Japan and Australia — although, he noted the lineups would be different on each leg.

So does that mean it's comming to AUS?

[Happy]

I hope Gigantour does tour the world.

It'd make up for me not being able to go Download.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, it would...and there would be actual good bands there. Not like the perhaps five that are at Download.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

So does that mean it's comming to AUS?
Yeah, although no one knows which bands will be coming. Well, Slayer is a given, but other than that....

[Happy]

Yeah, it would...and there would be actual good bands there. Not like the perhaps five that are at Download.
I counted 6 :p

But yeah i guess Gigantour would own it if the line-up was announced...

[Lord Abortion]

Cathedral, Cradle of Filth, Dragonforce, Satyricon, Opeth, A7X

You are right.

[eug008]

Dragonforce = On Ozzfest not G2

[Happy]

:confused:
We were talking about Download anyway.

[Rattlehead]

i've been repeatedly listening to Peace sells recently. i always loved it, but i love it five times more now. a real work of art, IMO. that and KIMB are my favourite albums, even though there isn't a singal deth album i don't like. except maybe risk, but thats still good.

[GenuineImitation]

Peace Sells was the first Megadeth song I ever heard. Its still remains a personal favorite to this day.

[Happy]

Same here but I just don't like it that much. I don't get why everyone loves it.

[eug008]

:confused:

Whoops, My mistake

Peace Sells is my 2nd favourite Deth album, Conjuring, Peace Sells, GMBF are all awsome songs

[Happy]

I love the album but for some reason I just can't sit down and listen to it.
I played it far too much when I first got it.

[The_Oath]

My favorite Megadeth album is Rust in Peace, pretty much all the songs are very listenable. I bought Peace Sells a while ago, and just couldn't get into it as much. About a week ago, I tried out Peace Sells again, upon my second evaluation; I find it is a damn good album. The Conjuring, Good Mourning/Black Friday, and Devil's Island are ace songs.

[Lord Abortion]

Peace sells isn't one of 'deth's best...Good Mourning/Black Friday, Devil's island, and wake up dead are great, but the title track is overrated.

[Mazeppa]

Peace sells isn't one of 'deth's best...Good Mourning/Black Friday, Devil's island, and wake up dead are great, but the title track is overrated.
Yes it is, after years of listening it remains their most interesting albums really.

[Chu]

I think SF, SG... SW! is severely underrated here. :mad:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

It is a good album, it just takes a while to appreciate.

[eug008]

I only like In My Darkest Hour and Mary Jane, the other tracks were quite meh. Has anyone noticed that they sound quite simallar (Mary Jane and In My Darkest Hour)

[Chu]

Mary Jane, my favourite 'Deth song :chug:

How can you not love Liar?! It's just so.. Groovey... :p

[Bazarov]

So June 10th, Ellefson is coming to a local venue with his band F5 and the guy who's organizing the concert is trying to get Dave Mustaine to come down from Fallbrook, which is probably about 20 minutes away from the venue. If Mustaine comes down that'd be awesome.


Heavy Metal Kid you should try to go to this. It's only like 10 bucks... and it's a small venue, if Mustaine doesn't come down, we'd at least get to meet Ellefson. Which would be awesome.

[eug008]

I seriously doubt that Mustaine will go to a gig with Ellefson

[Happy]

I think SF, SG... SW! is severely underrated here. :mad:
Indeed it is. We all need to learn to love it more :mad:

Mustaine might go, I heard they settled it.

[Lord Abortion]

I really think that might be one of those amazing moments where they get onstage and play a 'deth song...

SFSGSW...it's a little meh for me, there are some great songs on it though.

[Happy]

Mustaine on stage playing with Ellefson?
When Ellefson's not allowed to even mention Megadeth?

[Lord Abortion]

Mustaine on stage playing with Ellefson?
When Ellefson's not allowed to even mention Megadeth?
Yeah, I suppose...but it would be nice...

[Mazeppa]

Mustaine on stage playing with Ellefson?
When Ellefson's not allowed to even mention Megadeth?
lol, on pain of lawyer attack

Shame though :\

[Bazarov]

I don't think that they'll play songs together. It would be awesome. But there's going to be "San Diego's Official" Megadeth tribute band called Rattlehead at this concert, and if Ellefson and Mustaine actually got up and played along that would be tits.

[eug008]

If he goes someone has to film it

[Bazarov]

Well, I'll definitely be taking pictures. Hopefully someone will have a recorder and puts it up...

I should ask on Megadeth's forum. Dave posts on there everynow and then....

[heavy metal kid]

Heavy Metal Kid you should try to go to this. It's only like 10 bucks... and it's a small venue, if Mustaine doesn't come down, we'd at least get to meet Ellefson. Which would be awesome.

It's in San Marcos, it's a decent vacation trip, i don't like F5 that much but the chances of meeting David Ellefson are big(it's a small venue right?)

[Bazarov]

Yeah man, it's small. And if you go, yes you will be able to meet Ellefson, there's no back stage or anything, he'll have to walk through the crowd to get up on stage and stuff, and I don't think he'd sit in his vehicle to hide from fans until it was his time to go up on stage.. :lol: or will he?

[heavy metal kid]

Maybe, when the band is big, they usually enter until they have to play(even if the venue is a crappy bar). But I doubt he's gonna do that.

[Bazarov]

Well, I've seen Cryptopsy and Agent Steel at that venue both of those bands were just sitting down mingling with the crowd, but who knows. TJ is quite a bit of a drive to get to San Marcos though....

I hope this Rattlehead band isn't crappy though, I'm going to be expecting a lot from them.

[heavy metal kid]

Usually, the tributes bands aren't crappy. I hope they aren't.

[eug008]

Tribute bands.... pffffttt

[eug008]

When about is this thing on anyway

[Rattlehead]

Well, I've seen Cryptopsy and Agent Steel at that venue both of those bands were just sitting down mingling with the crowd, but who knows. TJ is quite a bit of a drive to get to San Marcos though....

I hope this Rattlehead band isn't crappy though, I'm going to be expecting a lot from them.
ooooh anyone heard any Rattlehead? what Deth era do they cover? (the early, it would seem, in consistency with their name)

[Meatplow]

Listening to Peace Sells quite a lot lately.

[Neoteric]

Listening to Peace Sells quite a lot lately.
Welcome to the forums!

[Rattlehead]

Listening to Peace Sells quite a lot lately.
good. so have i. i've listened to it to the stage where i know the exact point at which the next song comes in, and the note with which it starts :cool:

[Meatplow]

Thanx frogs and nice to meet ya's.

Awesome @ Rattlehead. Damn fine album, can't say i've heard much else by them though aside from Cryptic Writings and a handful of their most popular songs.

[eug008]

Yeh probably when is this concert on?

[Happy]

Rattlehead?
:confused:

[victim of changes]

Hey i got SFSGSW off a kid from my school the other day and from what ive listened i was expecting less out of it.

I have no idea, but I'll be seeing them this Saturday, and I'll be meeting Ellefson as well. I'll have to post pics. But I don't have a digital camera so I'll have to wait till film is developed.

[eug008]

Sounds cool

It's my favourite 'deth album.
I think it's underrated.

[Drone]

It is pretty underrated. I actually enjoy all of the songs from it, but that is because I am a huge Megadeth whore, haha! I wish they would give us some sort of new song snippet or at least something to keep up with Metallica and Slayer!

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, but Metallica have sucked since 1986, and Slayer have sucked since 1990(Seasons?) and Megadeth rule ALL the time.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I honestly haven't heard enough 90's Megadeth to judge. I haven't heard anything between RIP and TWNAH.

outside a bunch of random songs of course.

[Father]

nah its better this way .... If i hear a bit and it souds good then i might die with the anticipation for th whole thing.

EDIT - To Drone

[Drone]

Yeah, I guess I can agree with that. OK then, he should announce the Gigantour bands! :p

[Happy]

I'm sure we won't have to wait too long to hear some new Megadeth stuff.

[Drone]

I imagine it will be around September.

[Bazarov]

Yeah, but Metallica have sucked since 1986, and Slayer have sucked since 1990(Seasons?) and Megadeth rule ALL the time.
I'd take God Hates us All or St. Anger over that filth Risk, anytime, but I get what you're saying.

[eug008]

Megadeth did release about 1 or 2 **** albums

[Father]

I was listening to "A secret place" and the part from 3:58 to 4:03 sounds like that part from an avril lavinge song.

[Lord Abortion]

I'd take God Hates us All or St. Anger over that filth Risk, anytime, but I get what you're saying.
Yeah, I hate the direction Metallica went after they gave up on thrash, about halfway through AJFA.
And Slayer are a little meh for me, especially when you get to say, oh, whatever the one with the really gay, Pantera-esque name was?

[Chu]

It's my favourite 'deth album.
I think it's underrated.
I knew it. :cool:

'Tis indeed an awesome album, my favourite Megadeth album, and my 2nd favourite album of all time (Behind Ride The Lightning, which Mustaine had a part in writing anyway)

[gillygan]

I'm sure we won't have to wait too long to hear some new Megadeth stuff.

I hope. Imo System has Failed was feckin amazing.

[ghettoeddo]

he's a great riff-writer. so great.

[eug008]

I hope. Imo System has Failed was feckin amazing.

Yes, System Has Failed had quite a few awsome tracks.

Check out this festival in Japan that they are playing at, damn those Japanese people are lucky, look at the set

[ghettoeddo]

i wish i was japanese.
just kidding.
i just wish i was in japan

[eug008]

Whoops forgot to post the link

[ghettoeddo]

[eug008]

Megadeth, Slayer, Dragonforce, Opeth

[Happy]

I was listening to "A secret place" and the part from 3:58 to 4:03 sounds like that part from an avril lavinge song.
Avril Lavigne stole it.


OMG AT LOUDPARK :eek:

Why can't they bring that here :(

[Father]

^yeh i know she stole it.


those lucky Japs ... First they get marty and now this. wtf

[Happy]

Actually it was Marty then Paul Gilbert and now this.

It's amazing, if the line-ups like that next year I may have to consider a holiday to Japan.

[Lord Abortion]

That Festival looks pretty good, but there's a few crappy bands on there too.

[Happy]

Yeah hopefully they'll stay in Japan.

[Bazarov]

So I'm getting ready to head off to see F5 and that Megadeth tribute band. Gonna meet Dave Ellefson. And hopefully Mega Dave as well. :cool:

[Happy]

I doubt he'll turn up.

[pep]

They still have issues with each other?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

who cares

[Shattered_Future]

Ok, this seems like the best place to ask...does ANYBODY know anything new about Gigantour 2?

[eug008]

Dave won't turn up, trust me

[eug008]

Ok, this seems like the best place to ask...does ANYBODY know anything new about Gigantour 2?

All we know is that Arch Enemy and Deth will be on it, thats it

[FatalEnergy]

I never heard anything about Arch Enemy, and let's hope they aren't on it. They suck! Yeah, I said it.

[Element of LED 435]

I never heard anything about Arch Enemy, and let's hope they aren't on it. They suck! Yeah, I said it.
amen brother

[pep]

Im getting kinda pissed at megadave for not revealing the G2 lineup

[Father]

By megadave you mesn the megadeth site webmaster or dave mustaine.

Because the webmasters username on the forums is megadave.

[Bazarov]

Yup, I hate Arch Enemy... I was bummed to find out that they are going to be at G2. So yeah, Mustaine was a no-show, oh well, I've met him before so I wasn't bummed at all. But I got pics with Ellefson, and got his autograph, which was awesome.

FATHER: Mega Dave (or Megadave, I'm not sure if it's one or two words, not really a big deal) is also Mustaine's fan given nickname.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, Megadave rules and we are but his faithful Droogies:D

[Shattered_Future]

I never heard anything about Arch Enemy, and let's hope they aren't on it. They suck! Yeah, I said it.

Oh no you didn't! :mad:

So no new news? Goddammit...

[Happy]

New news in the Megadeth thread?

:lol: good one.


But seriously I want to hear some new stuff already :mad:

[Bazarov]

I guess on the megadeth forums if you paid that 30 some odd dollars to have a special membership fan club thing, Dave sent out people clips of riffs he has made.

[Happy]

Why on earth haven't they been leaked yet then?

Or is there nobody willing to pay the 30 dollars?

[El_Goodo]

I just bought the Countdown To Extinction album for $10.00 and it I am extremley satisfied! The first album I bought by Megadeth was Rust In Peace which I love dearly, then The System Has Failed which was an incredible album, and then I got Peace Sell's...and besides the title track I found it to be a let down, and the worst Megadeth album I own.

I'm really getting into Megadeth alot lately, and Im starting to favour them alot more than Metalica. Before I considered them to be pretty much equal. But Dave's lyrics are way better than Metallica's, and the songs are great, and not to mention The System Has Failed kicks St. Angers *** (and I like St. Anger) but sadly St. Anger sold more just because of the name attached to it.

[Happy]

You think Peace sells is their worst album?

It's like the fan's favourite but each to his own I guess.

[Lord Abortion]

I don't rate it too highly.

However, it's still better than the mid-nineties albums.

[Bazarov]

How could any metalhead not like Wake up Dead?

[FatalEnergy]

My Last Words is my all time favorite Megadeth song, but really how could you not like Good Mourning/Black Friday?

[eug008]

Peace Sells a bad album??? It's one of my favourites

[El_Goodo]

Well nothing stands out to much on that album alot of the songs sound similar. I do like Wake Up Dead especially the sudden change near the end of the song, and I love Peace Sells. And Good Mourning/Black Friday is pretty good. I didnt say it was a bad album, I said that it was the worst album I own and I own Countdown To Extinction, The System Has Failed, and Rust In Peace I think one of my main problems with the albums is that the vocals are really buried under the wall of sound that the guitars and drums create.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Eh, I don't really see how all the songs sound the same. Good Mourning/Black Friday and The Conjuring sound completly different to the Title Track and Devil's Island for example.

[Happy]

Eh, I don't really see how all the songs sound the same. Good Mourning/Black Friday and The Conjuring sound completly different to the Title Track and Devil's Island for example.
Agreed.

Oh and buy the mid 90's albums. You'll change your opinion on Peace Sells being the worst album you own.

[Rattlehead]

My Last Words is my all time favorite Megadeth song, but really how could you not like Good Mourning/Black Friday?
yeah, same. the bass in MLW is soo cool.
"you! next victim! you! your turn to die!" oooh yea.
and i learned GM/BF. :cool: that is such a great song. fun to play, too. the intro is magical.

[Happy]

The bass for that song is pretty difficult.

I'm not sure if I can play it...

[Meatplow]

Hmm all my friends hate Megadeth, the bastards...

I had a party the other night, and everyone was singing along to Master of Puppets by Metallica. Then i put Peace Sells (as in the song) on and a friend of mine started saying "F*cking Dave Mustaine agh, hes a cunt". I said "Its an awesome song, i don't care if hes a c*nt". He then started prattling on about respect and how he got kicked of Metallica and yeah. Anyone else get this much?

[Happy]

Yes people who assume he sucks because he was kicked out of Metallica are f'in idiots.

[victim of changes]

Mustaine is a god hes just one of the coolest frontmen and he just kicks so much ***

[El_Goodo]

Hmm all my friends hate Megadeth, the bastards...

I had a party the other night, and everyone was singing along to Master of Puppets by Metallica. Then i put Peace Sells (as in the song) on and a friend of mine started saying "F*cking Dave Mustaine agh, hes a squirrel". I said "Its an awesome song, i don't care if hes a c*nt". He then started prattling on about respect and how he got kicked of Metallica and yeah. Anyone else get this much?

I was talking about Megadeth to my friend today and I told my friend he got kicked out basically because he was a drunk and his response was "They were all drunks." It was a very hypocritical thing to do, in my opinion.

And speaking about Dave Mustaine there are some sweet videos of him on Youtube including him on Duck Dodgers, and wasting everyone on Rock N' Roll jeopardy.

[Lord Abortion]

It's amazing when you think how massively superior Megadeth are to Metallica.

[Bazarov]

From my understanding though, Dave got really drunk at thrashed someone's house and usually got really violent when he got drunk so Metallica decided to get rid of him... not just because he was a drunk.

[Chu]

Yeah, Megadave rules and we are but his faithful Droogies:D
Hell yeah. Mustaine for president.

He's so good at what he does. \m/

[Bazarov]

Hell yeah. Mustaine for president.

He's so good at what he does. \m/
I saw Randy Rachtman (sp?) wearing that shirt once, I wanted one really badly.

Thats weird, most of my friends are big Megadeth fans and like them way more than Metallica

[Happy]

Yeah but a lot of people think the other way.

That's why Metallica are so big :)

[eug008]

Metallica are overated

[Happy]

Indeed they are but a lot of people don't know what's out there, thus think Metallica are gods.

[eug008]

Those fools

Anyway here are the rumoured bands for G2 off the gigtour fourms

Dave aint announcing, so lets all compare notes and rumors about who's playing, lets see:

Overkill (Likely)
Sevendust (mabye)
annihilator (turned down last year, so you never know)
Testament (lots of rumors)
Exodus (they opened for Megadeth last year on tour, will they come back?)
Judas priest (unlikely)
Anthrax (highly possible).................................. am I missing any? anybody heard or read any rumors? And no more wish listing, I am sure its pretty much decided anyway! Edit- and Opeth (for sure)

[Bazarov]

I hope Testament, Sevendust, Arch Enemy nor Opeth are on G2.

[Happy]

How comes?

Opeth UK tour sounds good...

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, I might hit them up in Glasgow when I go up there to Uni.

[Bazarov]

How comes?

Opeth UK tour sounds good...
I'm just not a fan of either of those bands. If Overkill or Exodus is on the bill though, that'd be killer.
