Megadeth

[El_Goodo]

ANyone got any recommendations on what to add to my collection next? I've got in order;

The System Has Failed
Rust In Peace
Peace Sells But Who's Buying
Countdown To Extinction

My least favourite of the four would be Peace Sells...I just can't get into it as much as the others.

[FatalEnergy]

Killing is My Buisness, then So Far, So Good.....So What

[Happy]

SFSGSW first actually :p

[Tyr]

Which album would you recommend? I don't have any of their albums, just random songs.

[FatalEnergy]

Rust In Peace is just abut everyones favorite.

Although I like Peace Sells the most

Just get Rust in Peace first

[Tyr]

OK, I will get RIP, thanks.

[Txus]

I just learned Hangar 18 on bass, what a fun song to play \m/

[Rattlehead]

noooooooo. chronological order applies to megadeth, when looking for first impressions. who agrees? i mean KIMB kicks so much ***.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

noooooooo. chronological order applies to megadeth, when looking for first impressions. who agrees? i mean KIMB kicks so much ***.
No, either Rust In Peace or Peace Sells first. Then either So Far, So Good... So What! or Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!

[eug008]

Yeh RIP>PS>KIMB

[Apocalyptic Raids]

SFSGSW is way better than KIMB.

[victim of changes]

yea who knos though wat if they actually spent money towords production rathar than drugs :)

[FatalEnergy]

I happen to disagree.


KIMB > SFSGSW

[pate]

PS > SFSGSW > KIMB > RIP

*gets out flame shield*

[Apocalyptic Raids]

You both suck.

especially you pate :mad:

[pate]

*blocks*

I'm the only person on the planet who isn't ga-ga over RIP. It's got four good tracks, IMO. PS, SFSGSW and KIMB are solid all the way through.

[Chu]

<3 Sfsgsw :D

[FatalEnergy]

*blocks*

I'm the only person on the planet who isn't ga-ga over RIP. It's got four good tracks, IMO. PS, SFSGSW and KIMB are solid all the way through.


RIP is solid the whole way through! Like I said before, it's not my favorite 'Deth album, but there's definately no filler.

If you don't like Dawn Patrol you're lame.

[eug008]

Well the bass is good in that song....

[Apocalyptic Raids]

If you don't like Dawn Patrol you're lame.
I agree.

Not liking Rust In Peace in general is lame.

[MeTaLfAcE]

I have the Rust in Peace shirt, so count me in as a fan of that album. A fan of most of their stuff really though.

[El_Goodo]

I like Countdown To Extinction and The System Has Failed more than Rest In Peace and Peace Sells.

[Happy]

I made one of my friends listen to RIP. Now he's a huge metal fan thanks to Megadeth.

[eug008]

Me too except he is still into some other punk bands too :mad:

[Aw3someman]

Me too except he is still into some other punk bands too :mad:
being into punk bands is better than emo and stuff like that.

Btw RiP rules. It is one of Megadeth's and Metal's finest creations.

[pate]

Btw RiP rules. It is one of Megadeth's and Metal's finest creations.

For me, Peace Sells fits that description.

[FatalEnergy]

Peace Sells is my favorite, but RIP is still high on the list.

[Aw3someman]

I like them both around the same. I don't like the last three songs in peace sells much though so... I like RIP better slightly.

[FatalEnergy]

Bad Omen and My Last Words are two of my favorite Megadeth songs. The I Ain't Superstitious cover isn't bad though.

2,000th post. Yay me

[Aw3someman]

They aren't bad, I just don't like 'em as much as the rest of the album.

[eug008]

being into punk bands is better than emo and stuff like that.

Btw RiP rules. It is one of Megadeth's and Metal's finest creations.
Yeh I guess so, anyhows I'm pretty sure he prefers metal over punk which is a good thing

[jane]

In some kind of monster, dave talked about breaking some ones leg or something.What was it about?

[victim of changes]

He broke Phil Sandoval's leg, from Armored Saint, cuz he pushed lars down so dave broke his leg

[Aw3someman]

Damn... And they kicked him out.

[Painshock]

Megadeth is absolutely great! i got into it when i was about 17 when i first heard "Rust In Peace... Polaris" on some old cassette i got from my mate, and ive been caught ever since. of course songs like "Trust" and "Almost Honest" have been getting some radio play and so on, but they never caught my attention as much as RIP did.

[Happy]

Damn... And they kicked him out.
Not for that though.

[Aw3someman]

Yeah I know. For alcoholism.

[Happy]

No, he was too awesome for the band :D

[victim of changes]

lol, dave mustaine is one of the coolest frontmen.

[Nepenthe]

I listened to CtE for the first time in a while last night, and I've forgotten just how much I love that album. The harmony solos in the title track and Ashes In Your Mouth give me such a nostalgic feeling.

[Chu]

No, he was too awesome for the band :D
Hell yes.

October is gonna be a great month

[jane]

He broke Phil Sandoval's leg, from Armored Saint, cuz he pushed lars down so dave broke his leg
Dave is f***ing cool. I think he practice karate or something

[Happy]

Not just Karate. He has something like 9 black belts in different martial arts.

[jane]

Dave is god

[Happy]

I know.
Anyone to get into a fight with him is virtually commiting suicide.

[jane]

I would like dave to kick james hetfield's a**

[eug008]

Never gonna happen, their cool about it now (I think)

[Happy]

I think Dave did before he left.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, that was pretty much the moment when Megadeth became better than Metallica would ever be, cuase they're fuelled by Dave, and his emotions, and Metallica are fuelled by Lars' greed and wankery

[jane]

Yeah, that was pretty much the moment when Megadeth became better than Metallica would ever be, cuase they're fuelled by Dave, and his emotions, and Metallica are fuelled by Lars' greed and wankery
And Dave wrote almost all the solos and some riffs for "kill'em all" : metallica's best album

[Aw3someman]

Well he wrote some of the solos for Kill 'Em All. And many of the riffs for The Four Horsemen. But Kill 'Em All is nowhere near Metallica's best album. MoP or RtL are in that position.

Megadeth I think were always thrashier and way cooler than Metallica. Especially Dave, which makes them, in my eyes, better.

[Happy]

He wrote all but 2 solos :p

[Chu]

And Dave wrote almost all the solos and some riffs for "kill'em all" : metallica's best album
I actually think either of the demoes (Power Metal, or No Life 'Til Leather), are better then Kill 'em All. They're both sped up versions of Kill 'em All, with Mustaine on Lead guitar.

Of course, the quality is extremely poor (It's even worse then mine when I set up a microphone in my shed! :p), and the songs aren't as complete as they are on Kill 'em All (And they're not all there), but it's just some of the little subtleties in the songs. I always thought Kirk pwned the Jump In The Fire solo, then I heard Mustaine's and realized why...

[Nepenthe]

Plus, Power Metal has the coolest cover art of any Metallica album (save perhaps MoP).

[Mikesn]

I actually think No Life 'Til Leather is better then Kill 'em All.

I agree, actually.

[Morfiend]

Megadeth is great and I have a feeling their latest will be the best album since Countdown (RIP is the best though).

[Chu]

Plus, Power Metal has the coolest cover art of any Metallica album (save perhaps MoP).
I really like Ride :smoke:

So, **** bands, except Megadeth for the Aus leg of Gigantour, pointless now.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Too long have Australian Metal fans waited for a touring Metal Festival…
Too long have they felt envious of U.S & European headbangers…
Too much like Yoda does this press release sound…

Enter GIGANTOUR, the fast and furious traveling festival that was hailed last year by Revolver magazine as "the mother of all shred festivals" will kick off its first trip to Australia in October.

The brainchild of MEGADETH frontman DAVE MUSTAINE, GIGANTOUR will savage its way down the East Coast in October. MEGADETH will make their triumphant return on a bill that includes fellow heavy-hitters Soulfly, Arch Enemy, Caliban and more.

"This is the concert that I, as a heavy metal music fan, would want to see," says MUSTAINE who handpicks the acts personally. "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."

Having not being to Australia since their 2002 sold out tour, Soulfly will be making their presence felt on GIGANTOUR with their fierce, unrelenting, heavy and foreboding sounds. As expected of Max Cavalera, it is metal for the daring. Never safe and always engaging,

Metal titans ARCH ENEMY - whose dynamic cocktail of melody and aggression has earned them massive critical acclaim, a rabid worldwide fan base and a slot on this summer’s GIGANTOUR in the US. Arch Enemy gathered an army of fans on their 2005 tour and are set to light a fire under the *** of metal fans that missed them last time.

Rounding off GIGANTOUR is German’s finest Metalcore exponents, Caliban. Named after the wild, deformed slave in Shakespeare's “The Tempest”, Caliban are currently at their most creative ever. Brutal guitar staccato-salvos, complex alternate bombastic and clear walls of guitar, beautiful harmonies that consistently flair up and incredible rhythm, combined with this one of the most dynamic live shows going around that will knock the socks off every metal-core fan.

Make no mistake…this is the Metal event of the year…this is GIGANTOUR.

indeed

[eug008]

This CANNOT be 18+, the only metal gigs in Brisbane which are under 18 are always the shitty metalcore gigs which all the goths and slipknot kids go to.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I don't think I'll go.

I don't like any of the other bands.

[E sharp]

This CANNOT be 18+, the only metal gigs in Brisbane which are under 18 are always the shitty metalcore gigs which all the goths and slipknot kids go to.

GOD AMEN.

im 16 and this would be the first and best gig i would go to.

[eug008]

I don't think I'll go.

I don't like any of the other bands.
I thought you liked Overkill?

EDIT: G2 Thread, Now for G2AUS details

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Overkill aren't playing the Australian one, are they?

[blue3]

I don't think I'll go.

I don't like any of the other bands.Are you insane?

[eug008]

Overkill aren't playing the Australian one, are they?
No, atm it's only Deth, Arch Enemy, Soulfly and Caliban. Hopefully they will have some good local acts or i'd just be goin for deth

[pate]

I believe it said more acts will be announced, but that could just be local bands or something.

[eug008]

Noice we have an under 18 G2

[pate]

Noice we have an under 18 G2

Sweet. 18+ shows are lame, even though I'm 19 so I have no personal stake in the matter.

[eug008]

Hopefully it will be cheaper than the US shows cause they got heaps more bands, This would pretty much be a Megadeth show for me tho

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Are you insane?
I've already seen Megadeth, and I probably won't be able to afford it anyway.

and Megadeth won't get as much set time, I think.

[eug008]

I'm sure they will get a full set as their headlining

[E sharp]

tix on sale on the 22nd of aug.. cant wait. any idea on the cost?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I'm sure they will get a full set as their headlining
I don't think they will play for as long as they did last year. Last year there was only one support band who played for about 20 mins. Megadeth played for about 2 hours.

[eug008]

I hope they get a full set anyhows, I am expecting the tix to be about $80 or so, how much was the previous tour?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

The previous tour was around $65.

[Happy]

That's pretty cheap.

[Aw3someman]

tix on sale on the 22nd of aug.. cant wait. any idea on the cost?
$35 where I live. I'm not going though. All I would go for is Megadeth and Into Eternity. I'll wait till next year. I'm hoping for a more prog/thrash/power metal oriented Gigantour. And I absolutely HATE arch enemy.

[Happy]

I'd still go if it I was just going for those two.
I could mess about with friends during other bands, like I did at Download.

[Aw3someman]

How was Download btw?

Megadeth is 90 minutes and Into Eternity is 15 min. I'm broke and need money for gas and 5 cd's in the near future. I'm gonna have to pass because that just isn't worth my time and mostly money.

[Happy]

I didn't go this year, I went in 2005.

[eug008]

Next years lineup won't have Deth, I think.

[pate]

That wouldn't surprise me too much.

[Happy]

How comes?

[Aw3someman]

Next years lineup won't have Deth, I think.
What? Why not? That would surprise me... Dave doesn't have any ideas of retiring yet. Well I'm not sure that they're touring for United Abominations. If they do, then I wouldn't expect them to be on Gigantour next year. I'd just catch them on their UA tour.

[RustedPieces]

I paid $45 Canadian for floors last year. I think they'll do Gigantour next year for sure.

[eug008]

I'm pretty sure Dave said that it might be the last Gigantour that Megadeth plays at this year, their not spliting up or anything tho

[Huber]

I think Megadeth will play it again. They'll still be touring in support of United Abominations when it comes around again so they would I think.

[RustedPieces]

I think Megadeth will play it again. They'll still be touring in support of United Abominations when it comes around again so they would I think.
Yeah that's what I'm thinking.

[PECOAE]

I definitely wanna see them live, but the only album I know (and LOVE) from Megadeth is Rust In Peace...

Help?

[eug008]

Peace Sells, Killing Is My Buisness cause they are teh best and The System has Failed cause they will be playin **** off that on tour i guess

[Aw3someman]

They usually play a LOT of Peace Sells and Rust In Peace. Some Killling Is My Business, The System Has Failed, and Countdown to Extinction. That's all most of the time.

[Happy]

It's a couple off of each album live usually.
And they always end with Holy wars.

I think, or maybe Peace Sells.

[FatalEnergy]

They only play Peace Sells, Wake Up Dead, Holy Wars, Hangar 18, and Tornado of Souls.

The are the only songs I've heard them play from PS and RIP live, and I've seen them three times.

[playguitar]

They usually ALWAYS play these songs. Wake up Dead, Peace Sells, Set the World Afire, Holy Wars, Tornado of Souls, Hangar 18, In My Darkest Hour, Skin of My Teeth, Symphony of Destruction, Sweating bullets. Maybe A Tout Le Monde, Reckoning Day, Stuff of TSHF since they were supporting that on Gigantour and the tour with Exodus. They'll probably do some new material on this tour, since UA will be coming out soon. Maybe Hook in Mouth, and Mechanix too.

[jane]

They always start with the first track of the new album, then they will play some classics : wake up dead, trust, hangar 18, in my darkest hour,...
and finish with holy wars (and silent scorn as outro)

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Wake Up Dead, Peace Sells, Tornado of Souls, Holy Wars, Symphony Of Destruction, In My Darkest Hour, Sweating Bullets, Hangar 18/Return To Hangar and A Toute Le Monde are songs you can expect to be played pretty much everytime.

[victim of changes]

Mustaine wont play a lot of the great stuff off of peace sells for his christianity.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Mustaine wont play a lot of the great stuff off of peace sells for his christianity.

And to that: :rolleyes:.

I love "Cryptic Writings". Megadeth's best. And yes, at one point, or another I've heard nearly all of their stuff. I just don't have much of an appetitie for real thrashy stuff.

[Nepenthe]

I think Cryptic Writings is great for what it is.

[Tyr]

Yeah, it is good, but not their best. In fact I think it is one of their weaker albums.

[Happy]

Mustaine wont play a lot of the great stuff off of peace sells for his christianity.
What 1 song?

[FatalEnergy]

Bad Omen, GM/BF, and The Conjuring. Apparently Anarchy in the UK either.

[eug008]

That sucks cause GM/BF and The conjuring are kickass, couldn't he just change the lyrics or somthing?

[FatalEnergy]

It wouldn't be the same if he changed those lyrics. They rule too much.

[playguitar]

Wake Up Dead, Peace Sells, Tornado of Souls, Holy Wars, Symphony Of Destruction, In My Darkest Hour, Sweating Bullets, Hangar 18/Return To Hangar and A Toute Le Monde are songs you can expect to be played pretty much everytime.

They played Return to Hangar (a ripoff in my view) since Megadeth broke up from the Rude Awakening line up.

[pate]

Well then it must be a ripoff for them to play Peace Sells or Hanger 18.

[playguitar]

Well then it must be a ripoff for them to play Peace Sells or Hanger 18.

That doesn't make any sense. Return to Hangar is a cheap imitation of the greatness Hangar 18 is. It's like the Unforgiven 2...Lame.

[pate]

They played Return to Hangar (a ripoff in my view) since Megadeth broke up from the Rude Awakening line up.

The Rude Awakening lineup was the same lineup that recorded Return to Hanger.

[playguitar]

The Rude Awakening lineup was the same lineup that recorded Return to Hanger.

Yes...so? I'm saying the song is a ripoff of another Megadeth song, and you shouldn't rip yourself off, because it just comes out terrible.

[pate]

It sounded like you were saying it was a ripoff that they played it because they split up with the lineup that recorded it.

[playguitar]

It sounded like you were saying it was a ripoff that they played it because they split up with the lineup that recorded it.

No...It's just a ****ty song.

[pate]

I like it, but whatever.

[playguitar]

What'd you guys think of the new cover? Who else here thinks that it's intensely gay? And reminiscent of Peace Sells...What happened to the winning Vic, or the one pulling his visor and stuff off his face, that was cool art. The front of this cover doesn't have Vic, it has emo art angel Vic. Damnit Mustaine, write metal again.

[Chu]

He hasn't really stopped...

[playguitar]

He hasn't really stopped...

Of Mice and Men? Come on. Or what about Risk. Or really I should say, good metal. No?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

They played Return to Hangar (a ripoff in my view) since Megadeth broke up from the Rude Awakening line up.
It's a sequel, not a ripoff you idiot. It's obviously supposed to be Hangar 18 Pt. 2.

How the **** can you rip yourself off? :rolleyes:

[playguitar]

You can rip yourself off by making a ****ty sequel song to Hangar 18 with a similar sound, with similar lyrics and song structure...idiot. Ooh...

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Shut up.

[playguitar]

Shut up.
Bam! Then I add spice, a little tomato, and we got ourselves a pizza.

[eug008]

Posted by some guy on the Megadeth forums

So I was at the record store yesterday, and the cashier handed me this CD as I was leaving. On the cover it read ROADRUNNER RECORDS and on the back it read “The Definition of Dominance and there were 15 tracks. 15 songs from 15 different bands. There was some Hatebreed, Dragonforce, Opeth, Still Remains, you name it… but… there wasn’t 15 tracks. After the 15th song played through and finished, did the disc stop? No… there was one more track. Song #16, a 30 second long snippet of some real fast, trashy riff, then it cuts out…

It has been rumored to be a snippet off the new Megadeth album :cool:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9NPDQOH0

[Chu]

Of Mice and Men? Come on. Or what about Risk. Or really I should say, good metal. No?
Ummm, just because he makes one or two non-metal songs, doesn't mean he's stopped making metal. Plus, afaik, Friedman had a lot to do with Risk.

[Happy]

Damnit Mustaine, write metal again.
So what was TSHF?
Pop-punk?

You can rip yourself off by making a ****ty sequel song to Hangar 18 with a similar sound, with similar lyrics and song structure...idiot. Ooh...
Yeah I mean Megadeth are the only band to ever have used the same song structure in 2 songs.
It's not like it's important. So what if he ripped his own song off?

[Aw3someman]

You can rip yourself off by making a ****ty sequel song to Hangar 18 with a similar sound, with similar lyrics and song structure...idiot. Ooh...
You my friend... are a dumbass. Not only do you fail to recognize that Return to Hangar 18 is a sequel, which should be obvious from the very name, you also fail to realize it is impossible to rip off your own song. Plagiarism isn't defined as using your own material. You can't rip off material that you created and have the rights too. Plagiarism is using somebody else's ideas and presenting them as your own. Mustaine when he wrote a sequel to Hangar 18 wasn't plagiarisng (ripping off) his own work. He simply took a popular song he had created and changed the song structure and the lyrics slightly to make a similar song that represents the same style that the original song was created with. He created a sequel. :smash: There's a new idea nobody's ever heard of...

[Lord Abortion]

It's a sequel, not a ripoff you idiot. It's obviously supposed to be Hangar 18 Pt. 2.

How the **** can you rip yourself off? :rolleyes:
Well, when a person feels very special, they can...

[playguitar]

You my friend... are a dumbass. Not only do you fail to recognize that Return to Hangar 18 is a sequel, which should be obvious from the very name, you also fail to realize it is impossible to rip off your own song.

He created a sequel. :smash: There's a new idea nobody's ever heard of...

Sequels always suck. You can rip off your own song, he did. It's a lame attempt at recapturing the magic hangar 18 has. I didn't say he plagarized, he ripped it off, there is a difference. Ripping something off is taking an idea, (whether it's your own or not) and changing it a bit, making it different, but you can still tell it's just a pale imitation of one of Deth's greatest songs.

[playguitar]

So what was TSHF?
Pop-punk?


Yeah I mean Megadeth are the only band to ever have used the same song structure in 2 songs.
It's not like it's important. So what if he ripped his own song off?

It's not pop punk, it's a couple of okay songs, with a couple of really bad songs.

It's not just the same structure that bothers me, it's that he tried to make another good song out of a great song, and failed miserably. I think it's really lame with lines like "still two words that can't make sense!", and how it fails to be a good sequel at all. It's like Zorro 2.

[playguitar]

Ummm, just because he makes one or two non-metal songs, doesn't mean he's stopped making metal. Plus, afaik, Friedman had a lot to do with Risk.

I know, but he needs to come out with just an *** kicking, balls out, metal record. There's not enough of that around today.

[Lord Abortion]

Uh, Dave did...it's called The System Has Failed.
Where have you been?

NP-Trust

[playguitar]

Uh, Dave did...it's called The System Has Failed.
Where have you been?

NP-Trust

I've been listening to TSHF. Of mice and men? Die Dead Enough? Back in the Day? Not *** kicking metal.

[Lord Abortion]

Okay, oh wisdom inclined one, tell me why the hell not, and in your oh so valuble opinion, what is?

[playguitar]

Okay, oh wisdom inclined one, tell me why the hell not, and in your oh so valuble opinion, what is?

The Conjuring, Holy Wars, Looking Down the Cross, Set the World Afire, Take no Prisoners. You know, songs that sound metal.

[Lord Abortion]

I rate the Scorpion and Back in the day higher than all those songs except Holy wars.

[playguitar]

I rate the Scorpion and Back in the day higher than all those songs except Holy wars.

We must have different musical tastes. Or there is something terrible wrong with your mind. It's one or the other, but I'm leaning towards the latter.

[Lord Abortion]

Heheh, seriously though. You like the NWOBHM?
What's your favourite band from that period?
Other than Maiden and Def Leppard, who are the best band of all time and vomit inducing, respectively.

[playguitar]

There's too much good stuff, but a few are bands like Venom, Maiden, Priest, Angel Witch, Diamond Head, Blitzkrieg, Motorhead, I don't really know if Mercyful Fate counts in here, but they're kick *** anyways, Saxon, Girl School, and Tygers of Pan Tang. It's freakin hard to find some of those groups damn records, but it's worth it.

[Nepenthe]

Angel Witch are the kings of NWOBHM. Raven kicks *** too.

[Lord Abortion]

There's too much good stuff, but a few are bands like Venom, Maiden, Priest, Angel Witch, Diamond Head, Blitzkrieg, Motorhead, I don't really know if Mercyful Fate counts in here, but they're kick *** anyways, Saxon, Girl School, and Tygers of Pan Tang. It's freakin hard to find some of those groups damn records, but it's worth it.
Well, Priest and Venom aren't really part of the NWOBHM, nor Motorhead, because they were around before in Priest and Motorhead's case and a little after in Venom's.
Angel Witch and Tygers are pretty good, as Are Diamond head, I saw them supporting 'deth last year. They were excellent.
You might want to try Samson, who had Bruce "God" Dickinson singing for them before he joined Maiden, and maybe Toad the wet Sprocket, Wytchfynder, Preying Mantis, heh, Maybe even Ethel The Frog

[Happy]

Why all the terrible names?

[Lord Abortion]

Because it was the 80's?

[Happy]

Of course.

[pate]

Ollie wins this thread.

[Lord Abortion]

I win every thread.

[pate]

So true.

NP: Eidolon
The Drovers are awesome.

[Chu]

I'd say Back in the Day is some *** kicking metal.

I really like Blackmail the Universe too :p

Aussie Ticket Details/Prices

http://www.ticketmaster.com.au/eventprofiles/profiles.asp?profileid=2977

$86 \m/

[blue3]

Expensive, but probably worth it.

[Happy]

I don't really think it's that expensive for what you're getting.

[blue3]

I guess. The Who concert I'm going to was 130 dollars..

[Chu]

I dunno, in my opinion I'd only be paying to see Megadeth, and as they have another CD coming out, maybe they'll do a tour which will be cheaper and have a longer set time.

[eug008]

Thats pretty much the same deal with me but since they are touring now they probably won't come back for another year so I'll probably go.

...only kidding. I enjoy Crush 'Em from time to time.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've only heard Insomnia from that album.

I don't really intend to hear anymore, either.

[eug008]

Thats probably a good idea, never really liked anything off that CD

[Happy]

I think the only thing I can stand is Crush 'Em.

[Drone]

Not even Prince of Darkness? I love that song!

[victim of changes]

Risk was the first megadeth album i bought lol.

[jane]

Not even Prince of Darkness? I love that song!
Risk is a good album.

[Aw3someman]

I think the only thing I can stand is Crush 'Em.
I like Prince of Darkness and Crush 'Em.

[Happy]

Not even Prince of Darkness? I love that song!
I forgot that was on there :p

[Retrovertigo]

I just started listening to some Megadeth yesterday, I forgot how kickass Holy Wars is. Not to mention Return to Hangar 18 and Rust in Peace.. Polaris

[eug008]

Rust in Peace.. Polaris is just ace

[Happy]

Yeah, I think they should play that one much more live.

[jane]

By the way, who did the solo in "rust in peace polaris demo" ? (in the remastered CD). Was it marty? This solo sounds strangely for a fredmanian solo .

[Happy]

According to the booklet, it was Chris Poland.

[jane]

Wasn't chris fired in 1986?
So rust in peace polaris was recorded before 1986?

[Happy]

I'm not sure. Either there's something wrong with the book, or Mustaine got Poland back for the demo.

Or it could be that old. Doesn't sound that old in the demo though.

[Lord Abortion]

Risk is teh ghey, really.
It's like Cryptic Writings and TWNAH without the good tracks that are on those two.
Like Trust, Use the man, Return to Hangar, etc.

[victim of changes]

I dont have TWNAH wats everyones opinion of that?

[Chu]

I like it. The whole album is good.

Then again, I like Risk :smoke:

[FatalEnergy]

Ewwwww.

That is all.

[pate]

I hate risk, but like TWNAH a lot.

[Nepenthe]

TWNAH has it's moments, Risk, on the other hand, does not.

[pate]

Exactly.

[eug008]

Quorthonace said it, I'm not really a fan of either albums but TWNAH>Risk

[jane]

TWNAH > Youthanasia

[eug008]

No Way, Youth is quite a solid album while TWNAH is not

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I haven't heard Youthanasia.

TWNAH is kinda average, though.

[jane]

Almost all youthanasia's songs are ballades.

[eug008]

Are you kidding? 2 or 3 of the albums 12 songs are ballads, I agree that a fair number sound a bit ballady but their actually not (thats what I think anyway)

[jane]

I like it. The whole album is good.

Then again, I like Risk :smoke:
Yes, risk is good

I like every thing from dave mustaine

I downloaded the md54 album (dave mustaine with another band in 1996) last week : its not metal, but still kicks a**

[Happy]

yeah it's pretty cool.

ps. Md.45 :p

[victim of changes]

bought that a few months ago its pretty good.

[Chu]

Dave Mustaine in a non-metal band?!

I'll have to check it out... :p

[victim of changes]

its metal but its nothing like megadeth

[eug008]

Are you guys talking about the normal or re-mastered version (the normal version dosen't have Mustaine on vocals), cause I reckin the other guys vocals are horrid

[jane]

Are you guys talking about the normal or re-mastered version (the normal version dosen't have Mustaine on vocals), cause I reckin the other guys vocals are horrid
In my version, its dave who sings

[Happy]

I haven't heard the Md.45 with Dave singing. When I first heard it I was like :eek: Mustaine can sing like this? Before I realised it was another guy.

[jane]

Dave Mustaine in a non-metal band?!

I'll have to check it out... :p
MD45 is something like punk, or hard rock

[Meatplow]

Okay someone recommend me a Megadeth song that will blow my socks off.

[jane]

Okay someone recommend me a Megadeth song that will blow my socks off.
Loved to deth
Wake up dead
Good morning ...black friday
In my darkest hour
Rust in peace (entire album)
Skin o my teeth
hi speed dirt
ashs in mouth
killing road
victory
absolution
.... In three words : All Megadeth dicography

[Meatplow]

.... In three words : All Megadeth dicography

Heh thanx. Will get there in time been meaning to for quite a while.

[eug008]

I'd go for somthing off Rust In Peace, the whole album is pretty much god

[Meatplow]

I've listened to Peace Sells a fair bit and songs like Sweating Bullets and Tornado of Souls, which i quite like.

[eug008]

Do you prefer the Thrashier or Metal"ier" songs?

[jane]

Heh thanx. Will get there in time been meaning to for quite a while.
It was a hard question

[adamstartin]

I think countdown to extinction or the system has failed are my favourites. Rust in peace is ok, but the other two are just brilliant.

[victim of changes]

Countdown and TSHF are my two most listened Megadeth albums at the moment.

[Happy]

I haven't listened to CTE in ages. It's a shame, it's a great album.

[Drone]

Billboard.com as well as Blabbermouth have been spreading possibilities of United Abominations being pushed back to 2007...:(.

[Aw3someman]

UA has been pushed back to november/December.

[FatalEnergy]

where did you hear that?

[Chu]

I haven't been listenning to Killing is my Business/Peace Sells/SFSGSW recently. I've discovered a love for the other 'Deth records though, each one has awesome songs.

[playguitar]

Listen to Rust in Peace first then Peaces sells if your want to get into Megadeth. The other albums are good, but those have the strongest material on them, and no duds. KIMB, has worse production, overall just less memorable songs, and SFSGS has a few duds (502, Anarchy), and so does CTE (Physcotron). RIP rules!!!!

[eug008]

UA has been pushed back to november/December.
Actually it has been pushed back to early 2007

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=56952

This sucks so bad :mad:

[victim of changes]

Thats not too much of a wait, just hope the dave does what he needs to do.

[Happy]

Sucks that it's been pushed back.
Oh well, at least I can pick it up at the same time as the new Metallica CD.

[Tyr]

Sucks that it's been pushed back.
Oh well, at least I can pick it up at the same time as the new Metallica CD.
I hope it takes priority over Metallica when you will listen to the albums.

[Happy]

Of course it will, I know that already.

[Tyr]

Then I can stop worrying over the balance of the universe.

[victim of changes]

United Abominations will own

[eug008]

I have high hopes for that album

[Happy]

Same here. I can really see it being a contender for their best album.

[FatalEnergy]

Ehhh...I'm not sure. We will see.

[pate]

*ordered G2 tix today* w00t!

[eug008]

****, my goal for today is to go order them.

[victim of changes]

Wow 5th page for megadeth huh, the new artwork looks a lot different than anything else they've done, you can pre-order United Abominations at Gigantour.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I wasn't aware the official artwork had been released.

[eug008]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Abominations is the artwork and other info. Got my G2 tickets a few days ago :cool:

[Bazarov]

I can't wait to see these guys with Overkill this Saturday. I'm so stoked! Second time seeing them.

[playguitar]

I saw the G2 set list and wasn't too impressed.

[Bazarov]

It doesn't matter who's playing there, I pretty much hate everyband there besides Overkill and Megadeth, and I'm willing to put up with them to see those 2 bands.

Also, I'm glad to see only one song under 6 minutes for the new Megadeth album, now hopefully the songs won't be boring, I can't stand long songs that are boring. I can't stand boring songs.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Abominations is the artwork and other info. Got my G2 tickets a few days ago :cool:
>:|

That artwork is ****.

[Chu]

Meh, it's Megadeth, that's all that matters to me :cool:

Also, I'm glad to see only one song under 6 minutes for the new Megadeth album, now hopefully the songs won't be boring, I can't stand long songs that are boring. I can't stand boring songs.
Wow, I just looked at the song times.

I think this is going to be an amazing album.

Edit: It's gonna be 'Deth doing ****en prog, that's why Mustaine did Gigantour with DT last year, he wanted to learn some virtuoso shiz from Petrucci \m/

At least, I wish.

[eug008]

Holy **** just saw how long the songs will be, is Megadeth goin like Prog/Thrash Metal of somthing?

EDIT: They played a new song :amaze:

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=57889

Still no bootleg yet :mad:

[Chu]

Holy **** it's an instrumental. :chug:

**** yes \m/

Edit: Wasn't Set The World Afire originally called Megadeth? :confused:

[eug008]

Actually im not too sure it is, when I was going through the gigantour/megadeth forums I think I remember someone saying that Dave just played it as an instrumental because he hadn't figured out how to sing the words too it.

[Lord Abortion]

Is that a Black Sabbath cover I see there?

[Chu]

Actually im not too sure it is, when I was going through the gigantour/megadeth forums I think I remember someone saying that Dave just played it as an instrumental because he hadn't figured out how to sing the words too it.
Leave it as an instrumental :angry:

[Lord Abortion]

Instrumentals are for fags and girls.

[Chu]

I am a fag then.

I love my instrumentals. :naughty:

[eug008]

I didn't really like Into The Lungs Of Hell so no instrumental for me. But looking at the song length it would have to have lots of instrumentalish parts?

[Chu]

I love the whole So Far, So Good... So What! album, Into The Lungs of Hell is the perfect album opener (Right next to Fight Fire With Fire :cool: ), musical orgasm.

What about Silent Scorn? That's a pretty cool instrumental too :chug:

[Happy]

Silent Scorn is pretty cool.

I prefer Into the lungs... more though.

[jane]

Silent Scorn is pretty cool.

I prefer Into the lungs... more though.
What about absolution

[Drone]

I'm not really big on the song title "Shadowy Death." Is this a confirmed track listing?

[Nepenthe]

Into The Lungs Of Hell is so good, as is Set The World Afire. If the rest of the album could've been as good as the opening tracks, it'd have been a masterpiece.

[HahahitnRun]

Into The Lungs Of Hell is so good, as is Set The World Afire. If the rest of the album could've been as good as the opening tracks, it'd have been a masterpiece.

Hook in Mouth is definetly on the same level as the opening tracks and the cover of Anarchy in the UK is also a pretty fun listen.

[eug008]

Anyone got the new track yet? I'm about to begin my search.

Looks like this is indeed the last Gigantour for Megadeth

http://www.popmatters.com/pm/blogs/popwire_post/5202/the-guitar-is-god-at-dave-mustaines-heavy-metal-festival/

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Anyone got the new track yet? I'm about to begin my search.
Has a new song been released/leaked?

[Chu]

Well, he played Washington's Next at Gigantour, so I spose it's sort of been released.

[eug008]

Yeah, amazing how I couldn't find it anywhere

Heres what someone said about it

I would place it more towards RIP simply because most of the song is fast. It's got complicated guitar riffs and its pretty long. I can tell that it's probably going to be favorite in the upcoming album. I went to go pre-order the UA CD but after buying the last years Gigantour DVD, I didn't havge enough money so I guess i'll just have to wait until it comes out next year. The crowd for the Boise show was a decient size. I suppose that there isn't a large metal scene here, the crowd in CA was a lot larger. But An interesting fact that I heard during the concert, Dave announced that he used to live in Idaho. He gave us a friendly "Howdy Neighbor". Maybe that's why they decided to start in Boise this year.

They also played the full version of it with vocals at the latest show.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Well, he played Washington's Next at Gigantour, so I spose it's sort of been released.
If they're playing new songs on Gigantour, then I'm sure bootlegs will appear in a couple of weeks.

[Chu]

They also played the full version of it with vocals at the latest show.
That breaks my heart :angry:

[playguitar]

SFSGSW is a pretty good album. Set the World Afire and In My Darkest Hour are flippin genius, Mary Jane is great, Hook, Liar, and Lungs are pretty good, but 502 is just terrible, and so is Anarchy.

[Chu]

I don't think 502 is the greatest, but it's not bad..

Mary Jane is the highlight in my opinion, could it almost be considered prog? The riffs change so much, isn't that the definition of prog? :confused:

Edit: In My Darkest Hour is pretty good too.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

The only track I don't really like much on SFSGSW is Liar. The rest range from amazing to damn good.
