Megadeth

[Happy]

I used to love Liar but then it started to annoy me, it's immature.

[eug008]

That breaks my heart :angry:
Why would it do that, acutally I'm not too sure whether they did, maybe the song is an instrumental?

[Chu]

I love instrumentals. There's no such thing as a bad instrumental imo...

Partly because what can make a song bad sometimes is the vocals, and instrumentals are usually a time for the band to show off :D

In the guitar forum, I believe Po0sh (sp?) went to Gigantour and witnessed Washington's Next firsthand, he said that Drover's solo was just shred, I ****en love that :D

[eug008]

:lol:, not a fan of just shred but what the heck, I'll record it for you guys when G2 comes down here.

[Nepenthe]

In My Darkest Hour and Hook In Mouth are praise worthy too. Liar is cool just for the Dave Mustaine rap.

[playguitar]

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

502? Ugh, that song and Anarchy are just terrible duds to me, especially 502. It's just so...lame. And Liar is good for the music, and they lyrics are pretty funny. Everybody hear Megadeth played Take No Prisoners last night in Oakland? I was supposed to go, buy my drummer bailed on me for a ride, and my car is in the goddamn shop.

[Bazarov]

I'm seeing Megadeth tonight. YES! I heard that they might be playing Take No Prisoners as an instrumental? I want the words dammit, if they play it at all.

They did last night, he only sung the last couple "TAKE NO PRISONERS...TAKE NO ****!"

[Bazarov]

Hm.. well that song has quite a bit of riffs, so what ever, it'll make a cool instrumental.

[Lord Abortion]

[Bazarov]

Kill some chavs and your local poseurs. Force them to listen to Slayer and Megadeth as well.

NP: Megadeth - In My Darkest Hour

I hardly give SFSGSW any attention and this discussion about it makes me want to listen.

[Lord Abortion]

take a tape recorder and record one of the new songs for us.

[Chu]

There's way too much good Megadeth to give it all the attention it deserves.

[metallicaman8]

I actually wouldn't mind them turning that one into an instrumental. I haven't actually seen Megadeth live, but I recently watched a video of a show they played a couple years ago and Mustaine's vocals weren't very good. So, getting rid of the vocals is a plus for me. Unless he was having an off night perhaps? If his vocals are still of good quality and his vocals being bad was like a one time thing then I could go either way.

[Chu]

I think Mustaine's voice is at its best right now, he's never really been much of a singer...
But then again, I couldn't imagine anyone else singing for Megadeth.

[eug008]

take a tape recorder and record one of the new songs for us.
123, I read somewhere on the forums that they might play Five Magics at one of their future shows \m/

[Bazarov]

So it was pretty much awesome.
Here's the set list:
Blackmail the universe
Set the World Afire
Skin o' My Teeth
Wake Up Dead
In My Darkest Hour
Die Dead Enough
She Wolf
Take No Prisoners (This was NOT instrumental)
Trust
Hangar 18
Sweating Bullets
Tornado of Souls
Kick the Chair
Symphony of Destruction
Washington is Next
Peace Sells
Holy Wars

I got the setlist and another sheet up paper for Take No Prisoners. The TNP paper has the lyrics on it, the words that the band shouts:
Inflitrate them
Terminate them
Permiate them
ect. ect.

I was in the very front the whole time, which was great. And also Overkill was pretty disappointing... :(

What was Washington is Next like?

[Bazarov]

I liked it, it was long and cool, very cool solos I thought. If I had the ability to record it and post it on here, I would have snuck in a recorder. I feel that their new album will be pretty good, not awesome like previous releases, but not horrible.

[Lord Abortion]

I think they're just playing it as an instrumental because Dave doesn't want to give the lyrics away.

[eug008]

I thought they were playing the full song with lyrics, they only played it as an instrumental at the first show???

[SailAway]

I thought they were playing the full song with lyrics, they only played it as an instrumental at the first show???

They had the full song with lyrics at the 2nd show, I'm not sure of the 3rd.

[HahahitnRun]

And also Overkill was pretty disappointing... :(

Just curious, how so? Bad stage presence, sloppy performance.....

[Bazarov]

Because they only played 5 songs, and nothing off of The Years of Decay. And they played some really stupid song, Oldschool. Which I felt they could have put it Elimination or Evil Never Dies instead of playing.

[heavy metal kid]

Overkill was great, short set but hey, It was good. I also got a picture with the singer.

Arch Enemy was the worst band of the night, I can't see why people seem to love them.

Opeth was great, but they only played 3 songs.

LoG was boring as usual, still they managed to get people of their seats.

Megadeth: Take No Prisoners made my day.

[Bazarov]

Overkill was great, short set but hey, It was good. I also got a picture with the singer.
I really wanted to go meet overkill but my spot was right up on the fence, and I wanted it for Megadeth. Oh well.

[heavy metal kid]

I really wanted to go meet overkill but my spot was right up on the fence, and I wanted it for Megadeth. Oh well.

They were signing stuff when LoG was playing, during that I went out for some drinks and Overkill were walking like normal people outside, jaja that was pretty cool considering that I didn't have to make a long line or get that special wristband that allows you to meet the band.

[Shattered_Future]

I thought Opeth was supposed to do 5? They better...

I'll leave the Arch Enemy comment alone. I won't hurt you for it. :smash:

Glad to see Deth played Die Dead Enough again. Love that song...it was great last year.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Because they only played 5 songs, and nothing off of The Years of Decay. And they played some really stupid song, Oldschool. Which I felt they could have put it Elimination or Evil Never Dies instead of playing.
That sucks :(

[Bazarov]

at least they played Rotten to the Core.

[Chu]

Who decides how long a band plays for?

I mean, does the band decide "We're not being payed for this, so let's only play 5 songs", or does Mustaine decide "I'm too cheap to pay for any more then 5 songs"?

[pate]

I'm pretty sure Dave sets the times.

I like 'Deth's set, having never seen them before. It covers TSHF and most of the classics.

Opeth better play the five song set at my show.

[eug008]

Only 5 songs? Actually that would go for about and hour anyway I guess. I don't really care about the length of the sets besides Megadeth for G2AUS. Hopefully the other bands have short sets and Deth gets 2 hours.

[Happy]

I hope it comes to Europe next year.

I would've loved to see LOG and Opeth with Deth :(

[Tyr]

^^Seconded, except no LoG for me.

[SailAway]

I got the gigantour DVD a few days ago, does anyone else own it? The sound quality is really nice on all of the bands, and the 2nd disc has some pretty funny stuff on it. I like anthrax's birthday song for Dave, and the tribute to dimebag was very good.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Possibly my favourite 'Kill song.

Did your copy say the wrong date and last name for the Dime tribute. Wonderin whether they had fixed it yet...

[SailAway]

Yeah, and it still had those typos.

[6stringed]

Shortly after lead guitarist Dave Mustaine was fired from Metallica due to alcohol problems, drug abuse and personality conflicts, Mustaine, guitarist Greg Handevidt and bassist David Ellefson formed Megadeth. As Mustaine himself says, "I could only focus on one thing [after being kicked out of Metallica]: I wanted blood... theirs."

[pate]

...yes?

[6stringed]

...yes?

what?

[pate]

What was the point of that post?

[6stringed]

As Mustaine himself says, "I could only focus on one thing [after being kicked out of Metallica]: I wanted blood... theirs."

that was the point. duh

[pate]

"Duh." Okay. It was indeed a tad random, you must admit.

yeah, I know it was random

Of course.

I laughed at the Mustainisms for hours.

[alytee123]

Whilst somewhat on the subject of Megadeth vs Metallica, I got the latest issue of Total Guitar magazine today and it has an article on the whole 'Tallica vs 'Deth. Some of its not very thought out and I wonder how much of a 'Deth and 'tallica fan the writer was, for example, I've never heard of a Megadeth album called Countdown To Distinction...

[Happy]

So who "won"?

[eug008]

Yeah, and it still had those typos.
Ah full gay, I'll probably wait till they fix those errors before I buy it.

[lightningmetal666]

I'm pretty sure Dave sets the times.

I like 'Deth's set, having never seen them before. It covers TSHF and most of the classics.

Opeth better play the five song set at my show.


I saw them in San Bernidino (sp?) on Sunday and it blew my mind.


Opeth did a great show; songs included Ghost of Perdition, The Leper Affinity, and Damnation. Oh and Akerfeldt mentioned having a love affair with Gene Hoglan. Strange.

Arch Enemy didn't do too bad, however I sat through most of their set.
They played a couple of my favs. which were: We Will Rise, and The Dead Bury Their Dead.

Lamb of God did like a 1 to 1 and a half hour set. Songs included stuff off the new album (what band doesn't?) Laid to Rest, Now You've Got Something To Die For, part of Ashes of the Wake, Black Label, etc. A pretty damn good set IMO.

Megadeth was the best damn band of the night. They played the same stuff that butcher posted, and the pyrotechnics were badass and f**king LOUD.

Washington is next was a really good song. Dave is demonstrating that he can really sing, plus the dual lead guitar work of Dave and Glen is just sick.

[Happy]

Random interview after sfsgsw..
http://youtube.com/watch?v=sKHuz6m7Fa0&mode=related&search=
He said something there about King Diamond's singer kicking the rest of the band members out and it being a stupid move....

Even though he did it numerous times.

[Lord Abortion]

Dave is so awesome.

Very, very intelligent man, you see alot of metal musicians go on TV and look out of their depths when questions are being asked, but he knows how to deal with it.

[Chu]

And, might I add, he was ****ing high :cool:

[Chu]

I can gladly wait for the album :)

I'm still using The System Has Failed tbh, bloody good CD I haven't quite soaked it all up yet :D

[raYge]

They better go to Canada. In their 80's form. When they were better.

[Happy]

I still think they're about that good, after a brief slip in the 90s

[GurS]

Hey there.

Yeh, Megadeth are cool. Good band, some great solos in there...


Anyway, just like to tell you guys something.

My name is Gur Samuel.


Freaky or what?

[Alt F4]

Tell me something, it's still "We the people", right?

[Chu]

Tell me something, it's still "We the people", right?
Ahaha, excellent :thumb:

[Squirrel]

I've been a fan of Megadeth for a few years now, but more in the sense I had a dozen or so songs that i knew inside out, and then crapload others either by name or sound only.

So today I downloaded a few full albums and came to the conclusion Megadeth really really do pwn hard; they [well, dave mainly] are consistent and excellent players and writers, more so that I ever gave them credit for.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

What albums?

[Squirrel]

Well, all of them tbh.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I still haven't heard the albums in between Rust In Peace and The World Needs A Hero.

Rust In Peace is probably my favourite Metal album ever, though.

[Tyr]

You haven't heard Countdown to Extinction and Youthanasia? I love those.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, RIP and those two are my favourite Megadeth albums.

[Tyr]

:h5:

The same for me. :thumb:

[Chu]

Mmm, favourite Megadeth albums ftw;

So Far, So Good... So What! owns all though :smash:

[MrSigma]

Rust In Peace is superb, one of the best Metal albums of all time.

[pate]

I'm not big on RIP. My favorites are PSBWB, Youthanasia, SFSGSW, and KIMB.

[Bazarov]

I'm big on everything Megadeth has done till Youthanasia.

[ArcLite]

Personally I love Youthanasia. I know most consider that their "sell-out" album, but despite its change to a more radio friendly style I think it was really well done. I never tire of listening to it.

[pate]

It's a really great album. Lately, TSHF has grown on me a lot.

[eug008]

It's a great album, some tracks are poor but the good tracks really make up for it.

[Chu]

Honestly, what's a poor track on TSHF?

[Bazarov]

The Scorpion... that other song where Dave goes.."you didn't make metal, buddy, metal made you."

[Happy]

The Scorpion's probably my least favourite on the album but I wouldn't call it a poor track.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Kick The Chair is the best off TSHF.

[Bazarov]

Pretty much the only song I like on it.

[Chu]

The Scorpion... that other song where Dave goes.."you didn't make metal, buddy, metal made you."

I love both those songs :(

The Scorpion's one of my favourite's from TSHF....

[SailAway]

My kingdom, I'm sorry but that is just the one megadeth song I thought was horrid.

[eug008]

I love both those songs :(

The Scorpion's one of my favourite's from TSHF....
Yeah same here, I thought it was great.

My Kingdom was pretty gay on epic proportions.

[adamstartin]

I love both those songs :(

The Scorpion's one of my favourite's from TSHF.... hehe same, i dont think i disliked any track from that album.

[lightningmetal666]

Countdown to Extinction has really started to grow on me. I didn't really like it until recently.

[Drone]

The System has Failed is excellent for me. It's very consistent. The only thing I would change would be to take I Know Jack and Shadow of Deth as well as My Kingdom off the list. Then it would be perfect.

[eug008]

I Know Jack and Shadow of Deth were alright, not really songs tho...

[metallicaman8]

Countdown to Extinction has really started to grow on me. I didn't really like it until recently.

Finally! Someone agrees with me. I've always loved that album, actually I find it to be their best. Some of the albums before it may have had slightly better instrumentals, but the differnce between the vocals in RIP and CTE is amazing. Dave got way better. No to mention the songs are better thought out too, while on other albums it was just constant shredding CTE had more thought put into it. Excellent stuff.

Well, without putting down your opinion (like CTE aswell), the tracks are just much more simplified and don't really have a certain kickass tone to them. The solo are still amazing, but the main riffs are pretty bland compared to pre-RIP, even I can learn to play most of those songs easily.

Ashes in Your Mouth completly rules though!!!!

[Five Magics]

Ashes in your mouth is the 1 song that could have EASILY been on RIP, and we wouldnt have known the difference

Ah, you make a valid point my good man, but you see there's more to songs then just how kickass they are. While the riffs may have been a little on the bland side compared to their previous works the song structure and overall song writing skills had improved. That combined with the immense improvement in the vocal department is why I prefer it.

[eug008]

[SailAway]

I want to hear WN for myself, so it will be a lot easier if its not posted anywhere haha. I also wanted to be surprised when I went to gigantour but I just had to look at the setlists.

I like to listen to CTE when I feel like I've had my fill of RIP type shredding.

CTE to me is more about the song structure than about 'well lets see how fast I can play today'. Dave is a really talented guitarist, and sometimes I feel that he allows his technical style of playing get in the way of the structure of his songs.

Besides as was aforementioned, just because a song is easy to play doesn't make it a bad song. Symphony of Destruction is one of my fav. songs to play for ppl because it has good lyrics, and is one of their most recognizable songs.

[Chu]

No one around me plays, or even knows of Megadeth (Well, I have done a fair bit of introducing, most people listen to TSHF, but nothing else), it's kinda cool I reckon, I can play awesome music, and when someone asks, I can say it's Megadeth \m/

[Bazarov]

Plenty of people I've talked to around my part of town have heard of megadeth but have the Metallica-is-better-than-Megadeth virus. I have no problem with people likeing Metallica more.. but when people say that Hammett is a BETTER guitarist than Mustaine or Friedman, it kind of bothers me. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that Mustaine & Friedman have more skill at guitar.

I would agree with that.

But as far as Lead goes, Mustaine even admits he only uses pentatonics, Hammett does the same (Without admitting it, or has he?) yet seems to cop a lot of **** for it :confused:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

As leads guitarists I don't think either are very special. Mustaine's strength has always been rhythm.

Hmm, most of my mates think Megadeth>Metallica by far. I would say that neither Mustaine or Hammet would be that good of a lead guitarist but Mustaine hasn't really ever been the Lead guitarist for Megadeth where as Hammet is so that may be why he cops a lot of ****. Another thing about Hammet is that he usually uses the same scale run in almost every solo .

[Happy]

Hammett has to use wah to cover his playing. Dave doesn't.

[Chu]

Another thing about Hammet is that he usually uses the same scale run in almost every solo .
Heh, I'm not really that knowledgable of things guitar, I just play a guitar...

But isn't that the pentatonic scale? I don't really know what a run is... I don't really know any theory either, so I'm probably wrong, but I would definately want to know this, so if you could explain? :)

Edit:
Hammett has to use wah to cover his playing. Dave doesn't.
Yeah.. Dave can play music too :p

[Happy]

Yeah Kirk uses the Em pentatonic all the time.

[Chu]

And Dave just uses the pentatonic in different keys?

[Happy]

Dave probably uses the Em pentatonic a lot too, I've never really looked.
But his solos have much more variety and are more interesting.

[pate]

Dave uses Pentatonics in interesting, different ways instead of the same way every time.

[Chu]

But Hammett's first solo in Fade To Black is quite a bit different to the second, or even third solo.

[E sharp]

What type of shoes does Mustaine wear in the Holy Wars clip?
i want to get a pair

[Chu]

I am an 80's metal fashion victim!

I still wear the white sneakers with the tight jeans, I ****en love it.
I often get mistaken for an emo because of the jeans, but that's cool.

Edit:
go to this bands site and listen to it,

http://www.myspace.com/krusaderrrr

There's a myspace music finds thread somewhere you should probably post there, you'll get more people who check it out that way.

The Four Horsemen (4:10)
Blackened (5:03)
Harvester Of Sorrow (3:49) (btw I really hate this solo)
Dyers Eve (3:49)
Damage, Inc. (3:54)
Creeping Death (2:53)

I'm sure I could find it easily many more times.

btw I'm not saying all of his solos are bad, he has a few good moments. Daves solo's jsut seem more enjoyable but he was never the lead guitarist tho which probably is a good thing, imagine Hangar 18 without Marty :confused:

EDIT: hmm seems like the tab didn't come out that well, you get my point I guess.

[lightningmetal666]

Yeah Kirk uses the Em pentatonic all the time.


I've seen both use different scales than pentatonics.

Kirk-Harmonic Minor, Natural Minor
Dave- Chromatic (unless he was just using passing tones)

[MrSigma]

dave has awesome vocals. way better then hetfields.

[HahahitnRun]

i find dave's nasely vocals add a lot to the atmosphere, while James just has a pretty standard vocal style (not bad, but don't stand out)

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've seen both use different scales than pentatonics.

Kirk-Harmonic Minor, Natural Minor
Dave- Chromatic (unless he was just using passing tones)
That's still not a huge variety.

[victim of changes]

Dave's vocals have always worked great with Megadeth, i love his vocals, and Hetfield's vocals fit in perfectly with Metallica's first 5 albums, but now its a shame he blew his voice out

I'm not sure, I'm about to watch it now, I only skimmed through it because of School.

[Happy]

bump

No they haven't fixed the Dimebag date, It's still 1965-2005.

[eug008]

Damn, the producers really ****ed up there. I'll still get it when G2 comes down under, hopefully it'll be fixed by then.

[Chu]

No they haven't fixed the Dimebag date, It's still 1965-2005.
So ahh, what's wrong with that?

Didn't he die in 2005? :confused:

/Knows nothing of Dimebag.

[eug008]

Nah, he didn't. They also got his middle name or somthing wrong and put "Enimies" as the title of Enimies Of Reality by Nevemore :mad:

[Happy]

So ahh, what's wrong with that?

Didn't he die in 2005? :confused:

/Knows nothing of Dimebag.

Nah it was something like Dec 6th 2004.

[ghettoeddo]

i ordered the gigantour DVD

[Happy]

Haha if you get stuck at the parental code thingy, it's 0000.

[ghettoeddo]

oh. thanks.

*confused*

[Happy]

On the extras disc there's a thing where you have to know a password to watch it or it's blocked by the parental control thingy.

It took me ages to figure it out.

[ghettoeddo]

haha dang
taht'll come in handy thanks

[Lord Abortion]

I really like the new album cover.

[ghettoeddo]

the system has failed?

[Happy]

United Abominations.
or something like that.

[Tyr]

Any clues as to when it's going to be released?

[Lord Abortion]

UA, dumbass:p

[Happy]

Any clues as to when it's going to be released?

Like November?
I can't remember. It's either that or sometime next year.

[ghettoeddo]

UA?

this is news to me...O_O

[Tyr]

Like November?
I can't remember. It's either that or sometime next year.

Right. Let's hope it'll be this year, at least.

[lightningmetal666]

Like November?
I can't remember. It's either that or sometime next year.

I heard a rumor that it would be around Halloween.

[eug008]

No, that was it's original release date but it has been pushed back to "early next year".

[lightningmetal666]

No, that was it's original release date but it has been pushed back to "early next year".

Then Dave lied to us when I was at Gigantour. Damn liar. :lol:

[Eliminator]

i think dave mustaine should make it his business to learn how to sing

[Phazon Eater]

My girlfriend saw megadeth at gigantour about a week ago.
She paid $30 along with 50 other people to meet Dave Mustaine (and the rest of megadeth) and take pictures with them. Im not sure if they had this available at all the gigantour shows, or just the milwaukee one, but they also said that the pictures would be available online 3 days after the show, which has passed, and will be available for 6 months to download. They handed her a piece of paper with the address that the pictures can be found at, and when she types it in her browser it says the page isnt available on the server.

The address is
http://gigantour.com/megadethphoto/milwaukee.php

I don't know if or why a big venue (or megadeth) would rip her off like that, but its not available to view for her. The signing/meeting was available through FYE also. If anyone has been to this show or has taken pictures with megadeth and CAN or CANNOT view them, lemme know, or if anyone has any luck with the link, or if anyone has any suggestions

She was given a number also, it is 34.
I don't know what it's used for, but they wrote it on the back of her slip with the address on it.

Appreciate all help, thanks.

[Chu]

UA?

this is news to me...O_O
Check it out! Track listing on Wikipedia (Although they shrunk it? :() looks intense.

i think dave mustaine should make it his business to learn how to sing
Meh, I don't think he (or anyone in this thread either) really cares what you think. If you don't like it, don't listen to it, easy.

Edit: I found a game called Frets on Fire, which is a PC clone of that Guitar Hero game for PS2, I've only briefly looked at it, but I'll give it a further review later.

[Happy]

i think dave mustaine should make it his business to learn how to sing

It's never gonna happen.

I don't really see a problem with his voice anyway.

[eug008]

Check it out! Track listing on Wikipedia (Although they shrunk it? :() looks intense.


It's full of ****. I mean c'mon, the last time I checked the tracklisting it was

1. United Abominations
2. Gears Of War
3. Washington's Next
4. Vermont's Next
5. New Hampshire's Next
6. New York's Next
7. South Carolina's Next
8. Arizona's Next
9. Colorado's Next
10. Florida's Next
11. California's Next
12. Yeeehaaaa!!!! (Japanese Bonus Track)

The only confirmed tracks are the 4 tracks listed atm and the song they are playing at gigs is Washington's Next, not Through the womb or some ****.

[Happy]

are you sure that tracklist weren't from Uncyclopedia? :lol:

[GenuineImitation]

I just saw Megadeth on thursday and I have one word to say about it:

"Whoa" - Neo

They were so great i was speechless after the show. My friend caught a Dave Mustaine pick and we were in the front row.

[pate]

I caught Glen Drover's pick at my show. He intentionally threw it to me, as we had been exchanging winks and sly grins throughout their set.

[eug008]

Guys, found a torrent with a Hi-Quality live recording of Washington's next + the gig. I'll post the song after I upload it.

[Mother]

is the torrent a Video or an audio??

[eug008]

Audio, but the quality is really good judging by the sample (still downloading). Should be done sooner or later.

ok heres the good quality version of the song

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0XDFD3CN

[Mother]

super

[SailAway]

I payed $30 to have my picture taken with them too. Its not a scam put in denver instead of the show you went and they have pics up from it. They are just really slow for some reason.

[eug008]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bjgSMCBqEI

:lol:

[Mother]

Yeh i saw that before, wtflol ... What happened there?

[Chu]

I wish I had an endless supply of guitars so I could do that :(

[ghettoeddo]

just watched the gigantour dvd and i was disappointed

[eug008]

Yeh i saw that before, wtflol ... What happened there?
His earpiece thingo or whatever wasn't working and he culdn't hear what he was playing or somthin.

Why you dissapointed ghetto?

[Happy]

It's too short.

[eug008]

True, true. I'll still pick it up anyway.

[lightningmetal666]

True, true. I'll still pick it up anyway.

That's the 2005 DVD right?

I wanted to get it to see Dream Theater and Nevermore. Jeff Loomis doesn't get enough credit. I was pissed when I read that Mustaine turned down Loomis when he auditioned for Megadeth.

[Happy]

Well think if Loomis got in Megadeth there might no have been Nevermore.

when did he audition?

[pate]

Before RIP. He was only something like 17, and he himself says that his playing wasn't great, so I doubt he'd have lasted long.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I thought it was the audition for SFSGSW?

[eug008]

Yeah me too :confused:. I'm pretty sure he said that he was too young, so he hired his guitar teacher. (Jeff Young)

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Jeff Loomis tried out for Megadeth after Chris Poland was fired in 1987.
indeed

[pate]

SFSGSW totally slipped my mind. I knew it was after Poland, but skipped a step.

[Chu]

Yeah me too :confused:. I'm pretty sure he said that he was too young, so he hired his guitar teacher. (Jeff Young)
I would ****en love to have Jeff Young as a guitar teacher.

[Happy]

Wow, so Loomis was the guy Dave's referring to in the SFSGSW booklet where it says about some kid who couldn't play the solos, but he'd get his guitar teacher to teach him them.

[Chu]

Dave Mustaine has confirmed that the band's upcoming album, "United Abominations", will include a cover of LED ZEPPELIN's "Out on the Tiles".
Not really a Zeppelin fan, but it's still kinda cool, Mustaine's going back to where he began?

[eug008]

Interesting.

[Lord Abortion]

I finally heard washington's next...it sounds brilliant.

[Deth]

Anyone have a setlist from Gigantour they want to share? I'm going tonight and want to know what to expect.

[Lord Abortion]

It's actually pretty similar to the one for the TSHF tour.
It's back here someplace.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah, I'd predict it to be pretty much like the Blackmail The Universe tour, with a couple less TSHF tracks, the new song and another RIP track (from what I can tell).

[eug008]

Anyone have a setlist from Gigantour they want to share? I'm going tonight and want to know what to expect.
They post teh sets on the Deth forums. Heres the latest.

After Peace Sells, Dave asked how much time they had left:
"7 minutes? I suppose we could fit two songs in, but we'll have to play this one really fast" And then Mechanix started and the crowd went insane. It was one of the best live moments I've seen.

[MrSigma]

is there going to be another gigatour next year? i couldent go this year do to personal stuff but i really want to go next year if they are doing shows

[pate]

Dave said that there will be future Gigantours, but this is the last year Megadeth will be on it.

[blue3]

Damnit, why?

[eug008]

He wants to hold off touring for a while, although he expects to tour heavily following their new album.

[blue3]

Alright then.. I guess I'll have to wait awhile to see them live.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Damnit, why?
Don't worry, I'm sure you'll see them sometime >:-]

[blue3]

so, I saw Slayer before you.. !!

[eug008]

the one thats about to be released?
Yeah, strange tho because their new album comes out at the start of next year and Gigantour is late the same year :confused:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

so, I saw Slayer before you.. !!
:'(

[Chu]

On MEGADETH's upcoming album, "United Abominations":

"There's a couple of little things that need to be finished, but as soon as they're done, we'll start mixing it. What I can tell you though is that this new album isn't anything like 'The System Has Failed' (2004). I love this album! This album makes my nipples so hard you could use them to cut glass. I'm totally excited by this album. But having said that, I'm not going to tell you what it sounds like, because if I say it sounds like this, you're only going to say that it sounds like that. We should just sit down, have a couple of drinks and listen to it together. It's only then that know what I'm talking about, and I can watch as the album socks you in the face! (Laughs)"

"'United Abominations' will be released in March. I hate those phrases which say sometime early next year, maybe, could, unknown, as of yet and temporarily. If I have to get out there like The Naked Cowboy (who is otherwise known as Robert Burck) in Times Square (New York) and sing in my underwear, this album will be released in March. While there's a lot of girls that would line up to see me singing in my underwear, I would like to avoid that and see the album come out officially."
:D:D:D:naughty:
Heh, should be cool.

[eug008]

Nice

They're also gonna play another new track at a show on halloween.

[blue3]

:'(

yeah you better cry about it. Seriously though, damn Megadeth.

[Mother]

March :(

[pate]

Ya rly. :mad:

[Chu]

I can wait until March, there's so much good music out at the moment imo. :D

How were glens solos ? especially in hangar 18.

[eug008]

Because I'm feeling generous I'll upload Hangar 18 off some boot from this year for you.

Judge for yourself.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/jyjvo1

[Apocalyptic Raids]

He played really well when I saw them.

[Mother]

yeh ... he nailed preety much all the solos when i saw them.

[pate]

Glen nailed them all. His crowd interaction was awesome. I was basically right in front of him, in front of big speakers, so his view of me was very clear, and there wasn't anyone else close to me, being that far to the side. He gave me thumbs up a couple times, smiled at me during two solos, and when he was throwing out his picks at the end, when it came to his last one, he waltzed over toward me and thew it right to me. :) :)

[jane]

Oh ! thanx !:thumb:
Yeah, his play is awesome

[Happy]

toward me and thew it right to me. :) :)

And you dropped it? :lol:

[pate]

I sure hope he did.

And yes, I caught it. I had to fight with some other guy who ran over after he threw it. Needless to say, he left on a stretcher. :lol:

[eug008]

According to some interview us aussies are getting another new song \m/

[Mother]

We are going to start practicing the song "Gears of War" for the Microsoft X-Box party we are playing at on Halloween. We will prolly just go over it for a few days and break it out in OZ, but ya never know.

So Aussies who are going to the gig ... take a recorder or something.

[eug008]

What I said just above. My phone has a recorder so I can do that I guess, quality won't be the best though :mad:

[Chu]

Who has Cryptic Sounds? :smash:

It's ****en awesome, thanks eug008.

[eug008]

No problem, if anyone else wants I can get them the link.

[Chu]

It's all good man, I have almost forgotten I have Cryptic Writings tbh :)

[pate]

Thanks man.

[E sharp]

Does anyone know who sings the oldie part on "Set the World Afire"? I know its the song is called "I don't want to set the world afire", but i don't know who sings it.. there are a number of artists when i look for it.

STWA is my fav song from SFSGSW btw

[The_Riddler]

I am sorry, but you all probably know about this already, but I just got to see it by searching Dave Mustaine interviews...Dave Mustaine on ****ing Duck Dodgers? I am not a big fan of Megadeth, but HOLY ****, this just made me love them that much more
