Megadeth

[heavy metal kid]

If it wasn't for that air time that RIP got on MTV and radio i'll bet CTE wouldn't be as mainstream as it is really. Hell, Dave Mustaine talks about something similar on the remastered version of the album.

It was like ...And Justice for all, the last step to world domination :p .

[Lord Abortion]

CTE, mainstream?

How so?

[eug008]

Yeh it is mainstream compared to their previous albums

[metallicaman8]

I've been getting more and more into Megadeth lately. I still prefer Metallica, but I find it is a very, very close battle. Dave Mustaine is difinitely a very talented individual, although I find I have a general dislike for his personality.

[heavy metal kid]

CTE, mainstream?

How so?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but CTE was an instant hit: multi-platinum album, maximum position of 2 on the billboard charts, one grammy nomination(RIP got 2), and at least Symphony of Destruction, Sweating Bullets and Countdown to Extincion are still part of the daily playlist of my local radio station.

Not to mention that many of the Megadeth fans got hooked with some song of CTE.

To metallicaman8: Megadeth and Metallica are great bands, very different. Musically Megadeth is better, but Metallica has many pros that Megadeth don't have(Orion is a good example).

His personality's down to the way he was brought up, he was a drug dealer at a young age and had to live with his Aunt who abused him mentally.

Heavy Metal Kid: why the hell don't I have a local radio station like yours?!

[metallicaman8]

I'm aware of that and it is unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I don't like him....accept for his musical ability of course.

[Happy]

Heavy Metal Kid: why the hell don't I have a local radio station like yours?!
Because British radio is blind to good music.

[pep]

Because British radio is blind to good music.

Mexican radio isnt that great either. Maybe its just my location but I only get 80's pop and one hit wonders. Although at night there is a only rock/metal show where I get some Maiden and Sabbath.

[heavy metal kid]

My radio station is actually from San Diego(Rock 1053), but the stream reaches Tijuana.

I can't wait to see you next week in Spain or around September when G.2006.NA starts, or Japan, or Australia, or next year in Europe, or South America, or the another trip through NA.

Take care my Droogs!

Does Japanese release mean a song in japanese???

[Mazeppa]

Megadeth touring the world again? Woohoo!

[Lord Abortion]

Nah, I wouldn't think it would be in Japanese, Dragonforce do that all the time and don't sing in Japanese:p

Does Japanese release mean a song in japanese???
Nah it probably means a song that'll only be on the Japanese version.

[eug009]

Yeh, those lucky Japeneses they get everything. Hey does that mean that the G2 info will be released a day early cause it's the 23rd?

Yesterday i bought PSBWB and was reading the Black Friday Lyrics:

PRESS RELEASE - 07/22/06


GIGANTOUR IS BACK:

'THE MOTHER OF ALL SHRED FESTS'
TO KICK OFF SECOND YEAR IN SEPTEMBER;

MEGADETH RETURNS AS MAIN STAGE HEADLINER
WITH LAMB OF GOD CONFIRMED


GIGANTOUR is back.

The fast and furious traveling festival that was hailed last year by Revolver magazine as "the mother of all shred fests" will kick off its second year in early September.

Look for the tour--the brainchild of MEGADETH frontman DAVE MUSTAINE --to launch in the Northeast and to work its way through 25 major markets before wrapping in mid-October, with Xbox's "Gears of War" sponsoring the trek. MEGADETH will return as the festival headliner on a bill that includes fellow heavy-hitters Lamb of God, plus Opeth, Arch Enemy, Overkill, Into Eternity, Sanctity and The Smashup all confirmed for these mostly outdoor shows. Other second stage artists will be announced soon.

MUSTAINE personally hand-picks all the GIGANTOUR bands, with a sharp eye on true musicianship. He says GIGANTOUR is a great place for like-minded music fans to see a full day of music on two stages without breaking the bank, and he's glad the tour is back in '06. " This is the concert that I, as a heavy metal music fan, would want to see," says MUSTAINE. "It is going to be something to look forward to each year, to see what kind of tremendous talent we can assemble, for GIGANTOUR festivals in the years to come."

Lamb of God's Mark Morton says, "Megadeth is one of the main reasons I started playing metal guitar in the first place. To finally tour with them is really exciting and it's a great way to start off our world tour supporting Sacrament . We've been dying to get the new material up and running on the live stage. We've worked so hard on the new record--it's really a great sense of accomplishment to see the new tunes come to life in a live setting. We're really looking forward to this one." The group's Chris Adler says, "Teaming up with Megadeth on GIGANTOUR is a metal dream come true. The lineup represents some of the most proficient metal bands and players from across the world and we are looking forward to joining forces and kicking ***. We're planning on a nice long set, introducing a lot of new and very heavy material from Sacrament as well as keeping the brutal live tracks from our previous albums. We can't wait to take the stage and destroy it."

Last year's inaugural GIGANTOUR was a six-week trek that was hailed by the Miami Herald for featuring "only bands whose musicianship matches their ability to melt faces with sheer volume and power." The Orange County Register agreed, saying, "...it does a heart good to see Mustaine able to buck the chameleon trend of rock and stay firm to his ideals, keeping the music the priority and not the image."

As for joining forces with GIGANTOUR, Craig Davison, Director of Global Games Marketing for Xbox, says, "We're totally jazzed about the partnership between Gigantour 2006 and our forthcoming Xbox 360 blockbuster, Gears of War ! Partnering a music extravaganza like GIGANTOUR with the launch of a mega-hit game like Gears of War captures the excitement around two awesome happenings for fans of music and video games!" Gears of War is a blockbuster video game exclusively for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system that blends tactical action with survival horror. Gears of War thrusts gamers into a harrowing story of humankind's epic battle for survival and is available this holiday.

In other GIGANTOUR news, Image Entertainment will release two-DVD and two-CD sets of GIGANTOUR 2005, which included Megadeth, Dream Theatre, Fear Factory, Anthrax, Nevermore, Life of Agony, Symphony X, Dry Kill Logic and Bobaflex. The CD is out August 22, with the DVD hitting stores September 5--just in time for this year's tour.

[eug009]

I don't know half of these bands :mad: but it seems pretty solid

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Overkill, nice.

If they play they Australian leg I'm keen.

[Bazarov]

Not to fond of those bands... Overkill will be nice to see though. San Diego, I'll for sure be there.

[Lord Abortion]

So...there's Megadeth that are good on there...and...erm....well...Megadeth, really.

[Happy]

I'd go for Megadeth, Opeth and LOG :D

[Mazeppa]

So...there's Megadeth that are good on there...and...erm....well...Megadeth, really.
It's not coming to England though, is it?

Also I read rumours about Kreator possibly making the lineup, which would be pretty darn good.

[Happy]

Dave wants to bring it to Europe so there's a possibility.

[Mazeppa]

:eek:

I'd go to that, anything to see good ol' 'Deth again. Theirs is still the best gig I've been to.

[eug009]

Im not sure about G2 coming there but it says next year they are touring England

I can't wait to see you next week in Spain or around September when G.2006.NA starts, or Japan, or Australia, or next year in Europe, or South America, or another trip through NA.

[Mazeppa]

Well, I guess I'll probably end up waiting 'till next year then.

[Happy]

I can wait that long for Megadeth :D

[Lord Abortion]

They're incredibly good live.

[Mazeppa]

They were incredible live. Like I've said many a time, best gig I've been to in my history of going to gigs.

[Chu]

If Gigantour comes to Aus, I wonder how many Aussie 'Deth heads from MX will go? :D

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Megadeth were awesome when they played here last year. Dungeon supporting was also great.

They did My Last Words, too :D

I wonder how many Aussie 'Deth heads from MX will go?
I might.

[Nepenthe]

They didn't play My Last Words, which would've kicked major ***, but they were terrific when I saw them at Gigantour last year.

My Last Words is such a brilliant song.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah, it's definitely one of Megadeth's best.

[Neoteric]

Yeah, it's definitely one of Megadeth's best.
It certainly is the best on Peace Sells, but my opinion I guess Jono :)

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I don't know what my favourite on Peace Sells is. It interchanges frequently between The Conjuring, Wake Up Dead, Good Mourning/Black Friday and My Last Words.

[Neoteric]

I don't know what my favourite on Peace Sells is. It interchanges frequently between The Conjuring, Wake Up Dead, Good Mourning/Black Friday and My Last Words.
I've never been a fan fo The Conjuring. Good Mourning/Black Friday and Devil's Island are awesome songs.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I haven't listened to Devil's Island in a long time. I listened to it heaps when I was getting into the band, so I don't have much interest in it these days.

[Neoteric]

It is so fun playing it on guitar.

[Lord Abortion]

Good Mourning/Black Friday and Wake up dead are my favourites on there

[pep]

My favorite on Peace Sells is Good Mourning/Black Friday, although ive been listening a lot to KIMB and its definately better than PS IMO.

[Happy]

I haven't listened to Devil's Island in a long time. I listened to it heaps when I was getting into the band, so I don't have much interest in it these days.
Same here.

And yes it is fun on guitar.

[victim of changes]

G2 doesnt look as good as i expected or wanted

[MegaMustaine]

I really like all the 4 headlining bands. Some of my 4 favorite bands.

[eug009]

G2 site is open

http://www.gigantour.com/

Pretty cool

[FatalEnergy]

G2 doesnt look as good as i expected or wanted


Same here. I'm not impressed.

[RustedPieces]

Man Opeth is on G2 that's all that I care about. Oh and Megadeth of course.

[Happy]

Is Gigantour coming to Europe or what :confused:

[Drone]

Dave said it is.

[eug009]

So it is

[Mother]

He also said something about touring there next year i think.

[Lord Abortion]

I'd much rather just have a Megadeth tour, rather than, let's face it, have to go to London to see them, which is blatantly the only place Gigantour will go if it comes here.

[jane]

Hope megadeth will tour in france

[Mazeppa]

Dave said it is.

Yeah, I'd prefer that too. With support by Diamond Head again, that was great. With a new album in the works, another tour does seem quite possible though.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've already seen Megadeth playing their own show, so I'm more concerned what the lineup will be when/if they come here.

[Drone]

Yeah, I'd prefer that too. With support by Diamond Head again, that was great. With a new album in the works, another tour does seem quite possible though.

Gigantour.2006.NA starts in September and ends in October, with more details coming soon; we have one show in Japan in October, after Gigantour in North America; we are nearing our release date for the details about a very possible Gigantour.2006.OZ; then there will be various dates in the states and elsewhere leading up to the European leg of this World Tour, which may end up being Gigantour.2006.EU. Any dates following this will be posted at either the Megadeth Killing Road page or the "smell the asphalt" page at the Gigantour.com site or at "upcoming shows" section of our official Myspace.

Better than Megadeth and Dungeon, even

I dunno, I think it's more likely to be further up North from London.

I mean Gigantour in Hyde Park just doesn't sound like reality.

[victim of changes]

I'd rather have a just Megadeth tour for the music, i dont wanna wait for all those acts at gigantour to get to megadeth's performance.

[sabbath1991]

yea i agree

[eug009]

You know you can just turn up when Megadeth plays

[Meatplow]

Tornado Of Souls is such an awesome song i been listening to it heaps.

[Mother]

^ its definitely one of my favorites.


NP - MEgadeth - Poison was the cure .. One of the fastest Megadeth songs I can think of

[jane]

Megadeth rules. Can't wait for united abomination.
The system has failed was a great album :Tears in a vial

I heared rumors about "mary jane" being a code name for MARIJUANA
And that is in fact what it is, at least the Megadeth song is talking about that.

[jane]

ahh. Jane, did you have another account, because I seem to think I've seen you around before on here.

Anyway, what is your favorite megadeth solo?
For me, its the "Last rites/loved to death" one.

[jane]

Do you know some track names from the upcoming album?
Those i know are : "Washington's next" and "Gears of war"

[Mother]

tornado of souls
dred and the fugitive mind
poison was the cure


off the top of my head.

[jane]

Every megadeth guitarist have a different style of soloing:
Chris polond :the boots
Jeff young ; in my darkest hour
Marty friedman : tornado of souls
Al pitrelli: Return to Hangar
Dave mustaine: Holy war
Glen drover : Can't wait to hear it

[eug009]

Aww, those were my least favourite Deth guitarists.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

But Drover is playing the others' solos :-\

Wait until they release the new album, guys.

[Chu]

Spose I'm the only one who loves Young?

I think Megadeth were best around SF, SG... SW! though...

[Apocalyptic Raids]

It definitely wasn't their peak, but it's a good album.

[eug009]

It was an alright CD, a few cool tracks but nothing more

[jane]

A great album, the solos are amazing.

[Happy]

Spose I'm the only one who loves Young?

I think Megadeth were best around SF, SG... SW! though...
Nope, I do too.

[jane]

All megadeth albums where awesome

[eug009]

Sorry but I gotta dissagree with you, TWNAH and Risk awsome???

[jane]

Sorry but I gotta dissagree with you, TWNAH and Risk awsome???
RISK and TWNAH are different, but not bad

[eug009]

I guess Risk was good for the genre but TWNAH was just bland and uninteresting

[jane]

I guess Risk was good for the genre but TWNAH was just bland and uninteresting
TWNAH has some good songs like: return to hangar, warhorse...recipe for hate,coming home.

[Mazeppa]

I guess Risk was good for the genre but TWNAH was just bland and uninteresting
Tracks from TWNAH are definitely better heard at a show. I'd agree that on record they're fairly bland but live they were good.

[Mother]

I like dread and the fugitive mind.

[GenuineImitation]

What do you guys think of Youthanasia?

[Happy]

It has it's good points and some really bad ones too.

Kinda meh all round.

[GenuineImitation]

I really like it. At first I thought it was meh as well, but i guess it grew on me.

[eug009]

Youth isn't bad, I liked quite a few tracks on that CD

[pate]

It's a damn fine album.

[Nepenthe]

A Tout Le Monde, Elysian Fields, and Reckoning Day are some of my favorite Megadeth tracks.

[Chu]

I guess Risk was good for the genre but TWNAH was just bland and uninteresting
Dread and The Fugitive Mind?! When?!

Nope, I do too.
Speed ftw; :cool:

[Happy]

Indeed. Shred suits Megadeth well.

[eug009]

Dread and The Fugitive Mind?! When?!


DATFM, Return To Hangar were good and Moto Psycho was OK but the other 8 or so tracks were just pretty much ****. The solo's were pretty cool tho (Moto Pshyco and RTH)

[Nepenthe]

Dread And The Fugitive Mind is an excellent song.

[Daven]

My band can play that song! :)

[Chu]

Same. First Megadeth song I learnt fully :cool:

[eug009]

Peace Sells was the first Megadeth song my band played

[Apocalyptic Raids]

First Deth song I learnt would have been Peace Sells.

[FatalEnergy]

You wussies!:p

My band plays around with The Conjuring a bit, and that's fun.

The first 'Deth song I think I learned was Last Rites/Loved To Deth

[heavy metal kid]

My band plays Take No Prisoners :cool: , but some of the riffs sound pretty sloppy.

The first Megadeth song I learned was Peace Sells.
The first Megadeth song that I learned and considered it a real challenge was My Last Words.

btw, I play bass.

[FatalEnergy]

My band plays Take No Prisoners :cool: , but some of the riffs sound pretty sloppy.

The first Megadeth song I learned was Peace Sells.
The first Megadeth song that I learned and considered it a real challenge was My Last Words.

btw, I play bass.

I play bass too. In My Last Words, Ellefson does a lot of strange bass runs and stuff during the "You! Next to Die!" part that I still can't figure out by ear. There's no bass tab for Skull Beneath the Skin, and he has a lot of bass fills in that song that hard to get.

[heavy metal kid]

That was one of the main reasons why I considered My Last Words a challenge, when MXtabs was up, there was a tab for MLW I learned and then eliminated the erronneous lines.

Then, when I got the Guitar Pro I downloaded the MLW tab and combined it with the MX tab, the rest was pure ear because both tabs had the verse wrong.

I still don't know if it is 100% right, but I play it along with the song and fits perfectly.

[FatalEnergy]

There's a bootleg from '84 with Kerry King on it, and Mustaine and Ellefson do this little instrumental called Quicksand, and I've really been wondering how it's played, but the quality is so bad I don't even want to try to learn it by ear. Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

[eug009]

Could you up it?

[FatalEnergy]

My friend borrowed the CD. I forgot that he still has it. Once I get it back I'll put it up.

[eug009]

Sounds great thanks

[FatalEnergy]

It's strange though, because it really sounds just like a bunch of chromatic scales. Although very, very fast.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

It's strange though, because it really sounds just like a bunch of chromatic scales.
Well, Kerry King was involved after all.

[pate]

Q: What does Araya yell before the solo in Expendible Youth?

A: KERRY, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!


We are so lucky that Kerry never joined Megadeth.

[eug009]

:lol: Agreed, Megadeth solo's would just be complete crap

[FatalEnergy]

Imagine Hangar 18 with Kerry King.



That would be painful. :lol:

[blue3]

haha.. yeah. I saw this top 10 guitarists show on Much More Music yesterday and Dave was 3rd and they played the Hangar 18 video.

[Nepenthe]

Hangar 18 with Kerry King would sound like a fight between a cat and a guitar. It would give you a ****ing headache.

[eug009]

haha.. yeah. I saw this top 10 guitarists show on Much More Music yesterday and Dave was 3rd and they played the Hangar 18 video.
Thats a pretty killer video, Marty's solos are a million times better than Dave's solos tho

[blue3]

Yeah, but it was a viewers choice list, so more voted for Dave, I guess.

[Nepenthe]

Well, Dave's rhythm playing is 5 times better than Marty's.

Nice list.

I was expecting Mercyful Fate and maybe Diamond Head there, though.

[heavy metal kid]

I couldn't see it, what bands are on the list?

Nah, Mercyful Fate is a Lars Ulrich favorite, not a Mustaine favorite, besides MF could be a bit "Satanic" for Dave.

[Chu]

Well, Dave's rhythm playing is 5 times better than Marty's.
There aren't many people who can hold anything to Mustaine's rhythm in my opinion... :p

7. Megadeth
8. Anthrax
9. Slayer
10. Pantera

Whats with Metalica being there? And whats with Slayer and Pantera there aswell, I thought they hated him???

[heavy metal kid]

Dave Mustaine HAD issues with Metallica and Slayer, but he always had massive respect and admiration to the rest of the Big Four of thrash.

I'm kind of dissapointed with that list, if he was on MX he would be bashed till no end. Not that the list is bad, but all those bands are overrated.

[Mother]

Oshi .. sorry guys I did'nt know you had to be a member.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Maybe John Petrucci...
His rhythm playing? :-\

[Chu]

Yes, his rhythm playing... Is there something weird with that?

I love his Lead work, but his rhythm really shines to me (Same with Mustaine actually).

[Apocalyptic Raids]

There's nothing wrong with it, but he doesn't really touch Mustaine.

[Nepenthe]

Yeah, I don't consider Petrucci much of a rhythm player. Dave is one of the best there is as far as rhythm goes though.

His list... sucks.

[FatalEnergy]

Yeah, the list looks more like a suck up list than a real influence list.

Lame.

[Lord Abortion]

Jon Schaffer's Rhythm is better than Dave's, but not by much.

hehe, Dave's top two metal bands aren't even metal:(

[FatalEnergy]

Yeah, but I can see how the first few bands were actually influences on him, but to name the rival bands of Megadeth is kind of retarded.

[Nepenthe]

It's probably just him going even further to let the world know he's a good guy now and doesn't hold any grudges.

[FatalEnergy]

That's lame. Especially since Megadeth was formed pretty much on the complete hatred of another band. Dave's lost his edge.

[Nepenthe]

And Set The World Afire is evidence of that.

[Happy]

Yeah he said he forgived them and apologised etc.
Probably his way of showing that.

[Nepenthe]

That's pretty much what I was thinking.

[FatalEnergy]

It's sad though. I miss the real pissed off, snarling, evil, drug induced Mustaine.

[Happy]

Or maybe he's just in love with the Metallica stuff he wrote :p

[Nepenthe]

I think everyone does.

[Chu]

Or maybe he's just in love with the Metallica stuff he wrote :p
Wouldn't you be too? :p

I saw a talk with Mustaine on YouTube, I believe, recently, where he was talking about rhythm guitarist who are better then him..

He said AC/DC and Metallica :thumb:

[Crysiss]

better at playing rhythm guitar parts or just rhythm guitar players in general?

[Chu]

I'm not really sure, but I'd say he meant better rhythm guitar players.

[FatalEnergy]

In terms of skill and technique I think he's way better than both Malcolm and James. I don't get it.

[Chu]

He didn't actually say James, he just said "The guy from Metallica", although said "Malcolm Young from AC/DC"..

[FatalEnergy]

I must say Malcom Young is a very solid guitarist, but isn't anything spectacular, and James screws up live a lot.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Malcolm rules.

[Chu]

Malcolm rules.
Correction, AC/DC rules \m/

Australians ftw;

Do you have school or anything mate? :p

[FatalEnergy]

I love the Bon Scott era. They kind of lost me after Back in Black though.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Do you have school or anything mate?
Nah, I don't have TAFE on Mondays.

[Chu]

I don't have TAFE on Tuesdays :cool:

Start at 4:30 today, what are you studying?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Music Industry (Technical Production). You?

[Lord Abortion]

To be honest, I think Dave may have been making a joke when he said James was better than him.
Cause that's a blatant lie if he was being serious.

[jane]

Yeah , Dave>james

He's probably just sucking up to them again, no way Hetifield is better that him

[Happy]

Yup, Hetfield sounds really messy live.
I dunno why people say he's as great a rhythm player as they do.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I think he's a pretty good rhythm player.

he sounds pretty good live from what I've heard.

[Happy]

Meh I don't know, maybe it's Kirk.

[Mother]

He's probably just sucking up to them again, no way Hetifield is better that him


Or maybe he is just bieng Humble

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Or maybe he is just bieng Humble
Yeah, I think you're right.

[GenuineImitation]

Meh I don't know, maybe it's Kirk.


My old guitar teacher says kirk was the sloppy one. I have never seen a Metallica concert in person, but from the live footage I have seen, James seems to do a good job.

Dave is 200X better than James though.

[Chu]

Music Industry (Technical Production). You?
Software Engineering.. Hopefully I can transfer to ANU though... Not really learning much at the moment.

[eug008]

Yeh Kirk is pretty sloppy, that's why he uses the wah for almost every solo nowdays

[jane]

Dave is better than James because Dave can play fast solos

[eug008]

And Dave's rhythm parts are harder than Hetifields

[Lord Abortion]

I feel Dave is totally individual in that he isn't a rhythm player, nor is he a lead player, he does both.
That's the main difference between Megadeth and Metallica's guitar sound(apart from the obvious quality gap), in that 'deth are much closer to say, Maiden and Priest than Metesticle are

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I think Mustaine is much more a Rhythm player.

His solos are good, but he always chooses a more Lead oriented player to compliment him.

[jane]

Dave was always as good as the other guitarist

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I never said he wasn't.

[pate]

Well, as Dave puts it, he is a good lead player, but a much better rhythm player, whereas the other guitarist is the opposite.

[jane]

Dave likes to play speed solos, when the other guitarist uses bending,palme muting, sliding...
Exemple : holy war

[Aw3someman]

Dave wasn't as good in soloing as Marty though. Marty wasn't great at rhythms but at solos...

[Mother]

There are some rumours going around that this could be the artwork for the new album.

[jane]

cool
My favorite megadeth cd cover is peace sells

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Where is Vic? Looks like a fake to me.

[Drone]

Vic is on the United Nations building. You can see his face if you look closely. :)

I think the new artwork is awesome. It reminds me of the old Megadeth albums, but without Vic being a major presence.

Still can't see it

[Drone]

Ok.

Do you see the missile that is hitting near the center of the building? That is where Vic's nose is, and if you look up you can see the trademark glasses and then look down you can see his stapled mouth. His whole body is not present on the building, just his face. You should be able to see it now, it's not hard to spot. :D

[Happy]

I don't like the album artwork.

[pate]

I do. It's kind of cool.

[FatalEnergy]

I like it, but it looks fake.

[Lord Abortion]

I would suspect it was fake, the album title isn't even on

[pate]

...yes it is.

[Lord Abortion]

Okay, I'm blind...sorr-eee

[pate]

No prob. It's kind of small and hard to notice...just like *name*'s necropenis.

[Lord Abortion]

That would be Jono.

[Drone]

I don't think it's finished. I like it except it seems to have so many colours going on, and it is a bit too bright for a Megadeth album cover. Not everyone can be pleased, though.

[Aw3someman]

This album cover is featured in the Gigantour ecard
http://www.gigantour.com/ecard

[victim of changes]

Favorite Megadeth covers are Peace Sells..., CTE, and TSHF

[Nepenthe]

I think it's a good cover. I'm glad Dave's decided to go back to good covers, Cryptic Writings isn't terrible, but Risk is pretty bad.

[FatalEnergy]

Everything about Risk is bad

[El_Goodo]

I'm looking for a deth song to cover with my band, were a trio I play guitar and sing. What I'm looking for is a song that would be easy to sing and play, i.e. not a song like Holy Wars where Dave is playing an ungodly riff but still manages to sing.

So far I'm leaning towards Symphony Of Destruction.

[LostChild]

Sweating Bullets is as easy as it gets to play.

In my personal opinion, though, it's not that good of a song.

[blue3]

Yeah, Symphony of Destruction would be a good one or Peace Sells.

[El_Goodo]

Sweating Bullets is as easy as it gets to play.

In my personal opinion, though, it's not that good of a song.

Ah I like that song, but my drummer does not.

[El_Goodo]

Am I the only who finds it amazing the things Dave can sing and play? Haha

[LostChild]

Ah I like that song, but my drummer does not.
I think Dave gets into the vocals a bit too much. Like when he says, "And smile it's black toothed grin," I just find it so silly.

I'm all for putting your all into the vocals, but in that perticular song it just didn't come off right for me.

[jane]

What I'm looking for is a song that would be easy to sing and play.
Victory

[Happy]

Am I the only who finds it amazing the things Dave can sing and play? Haha
No I do too, especially the whole of RIP.

[FatalEnergy]

Apparently that's why they have never played Poison Was the Cure Live. The music and vocals are timed strangly, so Dave couldn't do it too well.

[Happy]

Well I guess that's okay, it's the worst song on RIP.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

That doesn't suprise me. I've seen a video of them doing Take No Prisoners live, and that was pretty impressive.

[FatalEnergy]

Well I guess that's okay, it's the worst song on RIP.


It's my favorite!

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Poison Was The Cure is probably my least favourite on the album, but it's still a great song.

[jane]

Everything about Risk is bad
I like this album

[eug008]

Ya, same with Five Magics and Rust in Peace... Polaris, aparantly he said that playing Rust in Peace... Polaris while singing was like having sex on a bicycle?

I'd go with Peace Sells except the "Peace Sells But Whos Buying" part might be hard

[jane]

Am i the only one who loves RISK?

[eug008]

I'd say so

[jane]

Prince of darkness is one of my favorite mega songs

Wouldn't Dread and The Fugitive Mind be easy?

[Neoteric]

Prince of darkness is one of my favorite mega songs
I don't like that song at all :(

The Docter Is Calling is my favourite off that album.

[jane]

Insomnia is also cool

[Aw3someman]

I love Prince of Darkness...

Any thoughts on the new album cover for U.A.
Why don't they have the winning vic?

Try Dread and the Fugative Mind, all the song is easy including the solo.

[jane]

Reckoning day is easy and fun to play

[Aw3someman]

Try Dread and the Fugitive Mind, all the song is easy including the solo.
That's a good one. B/c Symphony has a hard solo if your band is just starting out and probably if you only have three ppl.

[Atica]

That's a good one. B/c Symphony has a hard solo if your band is just starting out and probably if you only have three ppl.
Well, I think you are right and thats also a very good song. I said Dread... because it was the second song we learned with my band, and we had like 1 month playing together.

[adamstartin]

Kill the king is piss easy

[Happy]

That's a good one. B/c Symphony has a hard solo if your band is just starting out and probably if you only have three ppl.
Meh they could always make up an easier solo or skip it altogether.

[Neoteric]

Meh they could always make up an easier solo or skip it altogether.
Like I do with every Megadeth song I learn :p

[eug008]

I love Prince of Darkness...

The new cover is the shitz, it's pretty damn good

[FatalEnergy]

I wish I could see a larger version of it

[Happy]

Like I do with every Megadeth song I learn :p
Heh I'm guilty of it too although I know I can play a few of them.

[Aw3someman]

Heh I'm guilty of it too although I know I can play a few of them.
The hardest one I can play is Holy Wars... The Punishment Due. And that is a pain. There's waay harder ones though.

[FatalEnergy]

Take No Prisoners is probably the most difficult 'Deth song I know. Killing is My Buisness is somewhat of a difficult song too.

/plays bass

[El_Goodo]

Try Dread and the Fugative Mind, all the song is easy including the solo.

It sounds like a pretty sweet song, the song itself doesn't really need to be easy, we just have three people, and I sing and play guitar. And I cannot play alot of the things Dave does while singing. But that song sounds like it could be done!

[Enlighten Me]

I tried doing the Skin O My Teeth solo the other day. I pretty much failed.

[Happy]

I can play Take No Prisoners :cool:

I want to learn Good Mourning/ Black Friday but it's a bit too hard for me.

[eug008]

Me too, unfortunatly noone else in my band can so we can't play it :mad:

[El_Goodo]

Hmm I'm leaning towards covering the song Trust now. Maybe cutting down the intro, and the acoustic interlude part.

But the riff in that song is making me crazy, I can play it looking at the tab, but once I try and play it without the tab with the song, I play the first part then totally forget it haha.

[heavy metal kid]

Me too, unfortunatly noone else in my band can so we can't play it :mad:

I can play it...and my band also :cool: , but it doesn't sound as good as Megadeth.

[eug008]

Dude, that acoustic break part is pure awsomeness

[Rattlehead]

I can play Take No Prisoners :cool:

I want to learn Good Mourning/ Black Friday but it's a bit too hard for me.
started playing that recently. good fun to play. i love that song, the intro is enchanting. and eerie.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I learnt the clean intro to GM/BF a while back. I think I've forgotten it now, though.

[Happy]

Me too, unfortunatly noone else in my band can so we can't play it :mad:
Mine neither.
I'm far superior :cool:
