Megadeth

[btoto]

I'm getting sick of this clone thing..........someone needs to do laundry

[Sm|te]

I'll say it and I know it's been said before, but Megadeth in almost every way is just a better, more talented band than Metallica. They always have been, even when Dave wrote Call of Ctulu. Think of all of the people who say, "Metallica is metal because they have METAL in their name, therefore making them the best band ever!".

Sad.

[Huber]

Who cares who's better. Either you like them or you don't.

[Chu]

Think of all of the people who say, "Metallica is metal because they have METAL in their name, therefore making them the best band ever!".
I've never heard anyone say that.

[Chu]

looks at fat sweaty women and thinks o god and looks at his guitar
Hahahaha! Well I once read The Chili guitarist has a hard time beating hardons when performing a solo, I think AB/CD just found a cure.

[Lord Abortion]

hello me ...it's me again...

sweating bullets rules!

[btoto]

D@mn ! Only 41 pages??? Why don't you guys discuss anything normal about 'deth??

Each page someone is turning the whole thing into 'tallica vs 'deth thread. I'm fvcking sick of it ! Talk about music guys ! Otherwise this thread is useless !

:upset:

[AB/CD]

ok who likes behind the music i found it interesting even tho it more or less ocnstantly focuses on daves drug addiction

[Josh]

personally, even without having heard much megadeth, i think they are better than metallica, even though i like both. anyway enough of that...what megadeth album should i get as my first one?

[Burdcheese]

Get Rust In Peace

[MAthiAS]

Rust in Peace is their best, Peace Sells is also VERY good. Then if you like Peace Sells more, get Killing is my Business and So Far So Good So What. If you prefer Rust in Peace, get Countdown to Extinction and maybe Youthanasia if you're okay with it not being very thrash. In the end, just get them all.

[Burdcheese]

In the end, just get them all.

Listen to this guy - he speaks the truth :thumb:

[Sleeper]

hello me ...it's me again...

sweating bullets rules!
yessir

[Sleeper]

Rust in Peace is their best, Peace Sells is also VERY good. Then if you like Peace Sells more, get Killing is my Business and So Far So Good So What. If you prefer Rust in Peace, get Countdown to Extinction and maybe Youthanasia if you're okay with it not being very thrash. In the end, just get them all.
I would say youthanasia is my favorite album, but rust in peace is definitly the heaviest album by far.

[MAthiAS]

Does anyone have the original version of the cover (paradox ++) of These Boots? Megadeth does such a great job on it, but the stupid censoring ruins it.

[MAthiAS]

I would say youthanasia is my favorite album, but rust in peace is definitly the heaviest album by far.
Victory has one of my favorite solos ever, and A Tout Le Monde is an amazing song, and Reckoning Day was sick live. A very good album indeed, though probably one of my least favorite from Megadeth.

[Facsimile]

Does anyone have the original version of the cover (paradox ++) of These Boots? Megadeth does such a great job on it, but the stupid censoring ruins it.
I do.

And I just bought Cryptic Writings. I'm shocked. I didn't think Megadeth could get worse than Youthanasia. If it wasn't for Trust, She-Wolf, and a couple of others I would probably only ever listen to it once or twice.
Now I'm really not looking forward to Risk, but I have to complete the collection!

[Pandfair]

Bought Peace Sells and So Far So Good So What a week ago from amazon (£5 each) they should be here soon. What else would you guys reccomend?

[munky_magik]

IMO Cyrptic writings is one of the best cd's Megadeth have put out. The level of wiriting and quality of songs on that cd are amazing.

[Thrash_The_Sabbath]

IMO Cyrptic writings is one of the best cd's Megadeth have put out. The level of wiriting and quality of songs on that cd are amazing.

Yea...that's good recommendation.

personally i'd throw down with most of their earlier work.

[Lord Abortion]

countdown to extinction is my favourite album they have done
Rust in peace second haven't heard cryptic writings or risk...

[floyd.the.barber]

is rust in peace good :wave:

[Lord Abortion]

yeah it rules holy wars and hangar 18 are better opening tracks than on most albums by anyone!

[brooksy1986]

Megadeth are too underated, they f***in ruled in there day. just a pity the new album (i personally think) sucks, why have loads of good metal bands released awful albums, Metallica, Korn(?),Slayer?

[munky_magik]

there's no accounting for taste

[The Essential]

heheh

[btoto]

The Essential, dude I love your avatar :thumb:

[AB/CD]

was watching behind hte music earlier and dave said the best thing ive heard in a long time "its like having sex with a gorilla u dont stop till the gorilla stops" thats gotta be the funniest thing ever

[firemoth12]

I do.

And I just bought Cryptic Writings. I'm shocked. I didn't think Megadeth could get worse than Youthanasia. If it wasn't for Trust, She-Wolf, and a couple of others I would probably only ever listen to it once or twice.
Now I'm really not looking forward to Risk, but I have to complete the collection!

I actually like Cryptic Writings. The entire album. Of course I can say it's not exactly thrash metal but its still a great album. Even Dave Mustaine said he liked the results of it even though it wasn't very thrashy.

[AB/CD]

cryptic writings he was aiming for pop kinda metal i think its 1 of their best albums especially since its got songs like almost honest ill get even she wolf and fff

[btoto]

Is SEVEN on Cryptic Writings???? I fvcking love that song. Especially the end

[AB/CD]

nah its on risk i think

[btoto]

Anyway it's a fantastic song. Well right now I'm learning Holy Wars.....Holy $hit ! How can Dave sing and play it in the same time???

[AB/CD]

take it your learning it on guitar then i tried to learn it on bass gave up after 2 mins just moved onto duke nukem and peace sells

[Po0sH]

A tout le monde is such an awesome song.

[btoto]

Anyway SEVEN is a fantastic song. Well right now I'm learning Holy Wars.....Holy $hit ! How can Dave sing and play it in the same time???

[Po0sH]

It takes practice obviously.

[Iplaythegeeeeetar!]

Dave Mustaine wrote a few songs from Kill Em All, and 2 from RTL. that's all.

Mustaine wrote all of the songs on kill em all. at least all of the solos. how do I know that? their early demos with mustaine have them performing all of the songs off kill em all.

[btoto]

^yeah but it doesn't mean that all solos = all songs !

sorry, my mistake. i just went to megadeth.rock.metal.com and saw that he wrote about five songs off of kill em all.

[AB/CD]

[btoto]

Ahhh anyway

Can we fvcking stop talking about Dave in 'tallica??? :evil:

[AB/CD]

You missed Call Of Ktulu:lol: Dave helped write that. Where do you think the intro riff to hangar 18 came from?

[MAthiAS]

hey I just realized that!

[^Dream~Theater^]

Awesome!! :thumb:

[AB/CD]

hangar 18 sucks

[munky_magik]

I actually like Cryptic Writings. The entire album. Of course I can say it's not exactly thrash metal but its still a great album. Even Dave Mustaine said he liked the results of it even though it wasn't very thrashy.

It doesn't need to be thrashy to be good :rolleyes:

And Dave also helped abit in writing Ride The Lightning(the Song)

[btoto]

You missed Call Of Ktulu:lol: Dave helped write that. Where do you think the intro riff to hangar 18 came from?

You fvcking idiot, we were talking about Kill 'Em All !

Why is everyone reading only the last post of an arguement?! :evil:

[munky_magik]

Becuase not everyone can be bothered reading through pages of the thread. And don't call him a ****ing idiot either.

[btoto]

^it was not in other pages. It was just 2 post above mine.

And in fact, I'd never call someone a fvcking idiot, but lazy people drive me insane

[munky_magik]

You fvcking idiot, we were talking about Kill 'Em All I rest my case. All he was doing was offering information relevant to the subject, no need to loose your head over it.

[btoto]

And why do you always talk about 'tallica ripping off Dave???

Then tell me why In My Darkest Hour sounds like For Whom The Bell Tolls?
Or She-Wolf sounds like Disposable Heroes???

And there are more songs that sound close

[munky_magik]

And why do you always talk about 'tallica ripping off Dave???

what the hell does this post have to do with anything?

[btoto]

I rest my case. All he was doing was offering information relevant to the subject, no need to loose your head over it.

Yes, maybe I was too rude. I'm sorry about it. :upset:

But you did see that he was wrong, didn't you???

Plus everyone knows about that Ktulu-Hangar stuff.

[AB/CD]

i didnt but then both songs suck

[ThrashMaster27]

i didnt but then both songs suck

You're quite the moron.

[ThrashMaster27]

Yes, maybe I was too rude. I'm sorry about it. :upset:

But you did see that he was wrong, didn't you???

Plus everyone knows about that Ktulu-Hangar stuff.

As for you. You're defensive as hell. Why dont you chill out and realise that good metal has come from both camps, so you should quit your bitching.

[munky_magik]

Yes, maybe I was too rude. I'm sorry about it. :upset:

But you did see that he was wrong, didn't you???

Plus everyone knows about that Ktulu-Hangar stuff.

He wasn't wrong, he just wasn't talking about exactly the same thing you were, so you jumped on his case. As Thrash Master said, chill out!

and not everyone knew about hangar 18/call of the ktulu:

You missed Call Of Ktulu Dave helped write that. Where do you think the intro riff to hangar 18 came from?

hey I just realized that!

[btoto]

Ok, let's forget it. I'm sorry

Why does Dave sing with an accent??? I mean, it's not an accent but he sings (especially live) like it's not his native language

[munky_magik]

it's cool, we're just trying to help. Generally if you're more tolerant of other people they'll be more tollerant of you and that's how a good community grows :)

I have no idea for the reason why Dave sings as he does, But me and my friends have aptly named it Dave-Syndrome and it never fails to ammuse.

[btoto]

Haha Dave-Syndrome. That's just awesome ! :thumb:

What is everyone's least fav song concerning Dave's vocals???

Mine is Tornado Of Souls. I love that song but Dave on it is just........ah anyway

[AB/CD]

none

has any1 listened to MD.45?

[munky_magik]

generally I think Dave's voice was worse on the earlier Megadeth stuff.
I've got a few tracks by MD.45, they're nothign special.

[AB/CD]

i think MD.45 was daves best stuff but the remastered verson has 3 extra songs on it including a megadeth demo of them doing the song "the creed"

[Caminero]

Ahh Megadeth, they are one of my fav bands and are playing a rather smallish venue in glasgow next month and i cant go! *cries*

I love RIP PSBWB both great, as for Daves voice - its good most of the time but there is times when his singing/talking is ruined like on Sweating Bulltes.

Against Metalica, they are better at times and not so better at other times. Megadeth seem to me to be rather cheesy on ocassions, like the artwork and talking on some tunes as mentioned before. I think thats y i prefer metalica, but we can have both :-D its great he got kicked out!

[munky_magik]

Hate to rub it in, But I'm gonna be there in Glasgow :p

[AB/CD]

just wonderin does any1 no if daves ever been asked what it was like hwne he "died"

[IAJP]

Wooow,
/me got "Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?" today.
I may try and get rust in peace sometime soon too :thumb:

[Caminero]

Hate to rub it in, But I'm gonna be there in Glasgow :p

ha! Ahh well. I would love to go but i dont have the cash!

[IAJP]

They're playing in Manchester aren't they, towards the end of February I think.
I might go and see them.

[munky_magik]

ha! Ahh well. I would love to go but i dont have the cash!

Don't worry, I'll be sure to tell you all about it :p

[Andrew Womble]

could someone point me in the direction of a certain Megadeth thread in which a guy made a list of songs that he thinks will get those not into Megadeth into them?

all i can remember about this thread is that it's list had 'Tornado Of Souls' in it.

thanks

[RiceMonster]

What, do you want song recomendations?

[Andrew Womble]

iv got their greatest hits, its just that list had songs on it that arent on the CD iv got

[RiceMonster]

I don't know what thread that is, but search this thread, I'm pretty sure Frail made a list somewhere in it.

And just for the heck of it, I'll make a list
Mechanix
Killing is My Buisness
Peace Sells
Wake Up Dead
The Conjuring
Tornado of Souls
Hanger 18
Holy Wars
In My Darkest Hour
High Speed Dirt
Symphony of Destruction
A Toute La Monde
Trust
Die Dead Enough

[AB/CD]

u should put devils island in that list thats an amazing song

[MAthiAS]

All the songs in the lyrics of Victory.

[Sm|te]

hangar 18 sucks

You sir, are an idiot.

[AB/CD]

wrong your an idiot
i like hanger 18s lyrics i jsut hate all the music throughout the song besides if u listen to it as many times as i did wen i got rust in peace it starts to become ****e

[MAthiAS]

Dude... that song is like all soloing from Marty and Dave, amazing stuff. How can it get old?

[RiceMonster]

As much as I love thats song, pretty much anything can get old if you listen to it to many times. And yes, the soloing between Dave and Marty is awsome.

[CaptainWaits]

Hangar 18 is good, but Tornado of Souls makes that album amazing

[RiceMonster]

Yes, Especially Marty's solo. It's one of my favourite solos of all time.

[CaptainWaits]

Yeh I love it

[metal_milita]

Hey, I want to listen to some good megadeth songs. What would you guys suggest to a total newbie?
Or lets make it easier and I'm just gonna ask you to name your 5 favorite songs of theirs.

[RiceMonster]

Umm... I made a list on this very page...

[metal_milita]

oh thats what that list was. Label it next time.
Well actually this is my first time on this thread so boohoo I thought I'd ask a (what I thought simple) question to get me started. It worked on me for metallica, who'd say it wouldn't fail on Megadeth.

Btw, Mustaine's solo is RTL or Call of Ktulu rocks (I only know him through metallica). Whats the song where he sings WHILE playing a guitar solo (its a megedeth song, I believe)

[ANGUS YOUNG13]

oh man buried alive is one of the most awsome songs ever composed :thumb:

[AB/CD]

promises is way better

[IAJP]

Peace sells..
Is such a good album..

[munky_magik]

Peace sells is totally over hyped IMO. It's good but not that good.

[Freezing Moon]

Peace sells is totally over hyped IMO. It's good but not that good.

I think that it's pretty good, but I didn't at first. The songs I had downloaded as demos I didn't think were alll that great, but when I got the remastered version and listened to it a few times I started to like it. I REALLY like "The Conjuring", for some reason it stands out for me.

[CaptainWaits]

Peace sells is totally over hyped IMO. It's good but not that good.


Peace Sells is close to the bottom in my books

Countdown to Extinction owns the top without a doubt, then Rust in Peace

[RCA]

Peace Sells is the thrashiest, therefore best of Megadeth in my book.

[btoto]

About that Hangar 18 arguement, I think I'll agree with AB/CD. It's a good song, OK lyrics IMO, very good melody but that soloing that starts in the middle till the end ruins that song. I mean, at first I liked it but now I listen to that just till the middle.

Military inteleggence, two words combined that can't make sense - I love it :thumb:

[btoto]

^^I agree, Peace Sells is their best :thumb:

Devil's Island
Peace Sells
Wake Up Dead
Good Mourning Black Friday

These songs are fantastic !

[CaptainWaits]

There's just somethin about Peace Sells that I don't like

I can't listen to that album nearly as much as RIP and CTE

[btoto]

^RIP is very good but I can enjoy only Tornado Of Souls, Take No Prisoners, Holy Wars and RIP on it.

[Lord Abortion]

ahh glasgow I'm gonna be there too man awesome
"i'm safe in the eye of the tornado..."

[munky_magik]

I can't wait :D Feb 3rd can't come soon enough

[Freezing Moon]

I'm in the process of learning Tornado of Souls on my guitar... followed by the rest of the album that I don't already know. The solos are a bitch.

[AB/CD]

Feb the 2nd i get in backstage and an hour before every1 else :p

[MAthiAS]

Peace Sells is the thrashiest, therefore best of Megadeth in my book.
Killing is my Business is more thrashy than Peace Sells. And I like KIMB more than Peace Sells. Rust in Peace will always be my favorite of theirs though. IMO:
Rust In Peace
KIMB
SFSGSW
Peace Sells
Countdown to Extinction
The System Has Failed
Youthanasia

of the ones I own. Youthanasia, I'm sorry, but its just got 3 songs that I absolutely love, and other than that its mediocre as a Megadeth album. Other songs I love are Trust and 99 Ways to Die.

[Lord Abortion]

countdown is the best followed by RIP IMO
KIMB i haven't listened to enough to make a judgement

[AB/CD]

rust in peace isnt really that good i only got it cos of holy wars and that was the only song i knew at the point (mate forced me to listen to it thougt it was amazing bought the album) but i didnt htink it was great so i downloaded some songs thought holy **** and got risk which i think is better than rust in peace and peace sells

[MAthiAS]

Like what you want, but most people here including myself say that RiP and Peace Sells are thrash classics, and that Risk sucks.

[CaptainWaits]

countdown is the best followed by RIP IMO


That is where my opinion stands as well

[MAthiAS]

IMO South of Heaven > Reign in Blood, and Metallica albums only have a few good songs per, and thats only on the early stuff, so RiP > all. I say RiP is the best because its the first with Marty (definitely their best lead guitarist), Menza, and it was still thrash, whereas Countdown was less thrash, so less good. As far as MOP and RIB again, for 86 thrash albums, I think its Peace Sells > Among the Living > Reign in Blood > MOP.

[Andrew Womble]

could someone explain to me the supposed fued between Dave Effellson(?)(their bassist) and Dave Mustaine?

[Lord Abortion]

how can you rhyme "polaris" with "scare us???"
i love that song but the rhyme is bloody awful!

[btoto]

^I'm not sure but I think it started when Mustaine invited Junior back to the band and at this time the last album was just finished completely by Mustaine. And Junior said he wanted money too from that album although he didn't take part in recording/producing. So, Mustaine asked him to fvck off plus he was so mad that in his interviews later he said that junior couldn't keep time in studio (worst insult towards a musician IMO) during 'deth years. And that's how it all went on....

[btoto]

how can you rhyme "polaris" with "scare us???"
i love that song but the rhyme is bloody awful!

Launch the polaris
End doesn't scare us

What's wrong with this rhyme???

[Lord Abortion]

because its po-lar-is not pole-air-us
isn't it?

[btoto]

because its po-lar-is not pole-air-us
isn't it?

Ok, but rhyme is not an important thing, you know. Too much of rhyme can even ruin a song. Often people care about the meaning behind lyrics. A few rhymes can be enough :thumb:

[Lord Abortion]

yeah I know...

"Brother will kill brother
spilling blood across the land
killing for religion
something I don't understand"

[IAJP]

I'm gonna listen to some songs off Rust In Peace now :cool:

[Lord Abortion]

cool...

[btoto]

yeah I know...

"Brother will kill brother
spilling blood across the land
killing for religion
something I don't understand"

123

BTW, let's talk about 'deth's lyrics. I personally don't like them. Especially 80's albums. Musically they're my favourite but lyrically I find them dumb. Just whole thing about dark things, death and $hit like that.

Although I love lyrics of Peace Sells and Mechanix.

[Lord Abortion]

I like 'em
sweating bullets and holy wars being my faves
also symphony of destruction
"payed by the alliance, to slay all the giants"
is one of my all time favourite lyrics!

[CaptainWaits]

yeah I know...

"Brother will kill brother
spilling blood across the land
killing for religion
something I don't understand"


It's funny how those are the Megadeth lyrics I hear most

[acefrehleyjendell]

"dunn dunna dunn dunn, dunn dunn dunn, dunn dunna dunn dunn dunn,
you take a mortal man, dunn dunn dunn, dunn dunn dunn, dunn dunna dunn dunn dunn, and put him in control, dunn dunn dunn, dunn dunn dunn, dunn dunna dunn dunn dunn, watch him become a god, dunna dunn, watch peoples heads are rolled"

who can honestly say they don't sing symphony of destruction like that lol.

or "DUNN dulla DUNNA, DUNN da DUNN, da DANNA" Guess what that is?
Holy Wars. I have a habit of singing guitar riffs instead of the lyrics.

[btoto]

Hey guys did you hear the lates news?

Poland is suing Dave because he released 3 demo tracks from Rust In Peace with Chris' solos. (he recorded them before they got Marty).

[munky_magik]

any validity on that?

[linkotim]

megadeth= cool
i like them a lot
i need more megadeth cds

[btoto]

any validity on that?

Of course, but only if you can read russian

http://www.megadeth.ru/forum/index.php?act=news&id=43

[munky_magik]

Damn. That's practically the only translation my browser doesn't have :upset:

[btoto]

Damn. That's practically the only translation my browser doesn't have :upset:

Ok, I don't feel like translating the whole thing. But I can translate main things.......just for you :thumb:

"A few months ago ex-Megadeth guitarist Chris Poland and his mangement and lawyer sued on megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine. On the recent re-production of album Rust in Piece, Mustaine included three new demos without the permission of Poland. Mustaine included these demos because he thought that "Chris would be grateful for such a "commercial", accept it as a sign of respect and it will show to the fans the thruth: how big was these solos' (Poland's work) role on Marty Friedman".

Finally Chris demanded $9.500 and stopped all relations with Musataine and whole Megadeth."

I hope that was clear enough :upset:

[btoto]

Oh you lucky guy, I found it in english. Here you go:

[munky_magik]

Thanks alot :thumb:
Dave doesn't seem able to get along with anyone.

[Andrew Womble]

nobody gonna answer my question on page 45?

[munky_magik]

I'm not sure but I think it started when Mustaine invited Junior back to the band and at this time the last album was just finished completely by Mustaine. And Junior said he wanted money too from that album although he didn't take part in recording/producing. So, Mustaine asked him to fvck off plus he was so mad that in his interviews later he said that junior couldn't keep time in studio (worst insult towards a musician IMO) during 'deth years. And that's how it all went on.... you mean an answer like that? :rolleyes:

[btoto]

Well, about that Poland stuff. I still can't believe that 2 guys who spend writing music, sharing food and touring together for many years can sue eachother. It's ridiculous !

I could never expect such a thing from him. Probably it was his cunning lawyer biatches who convinced him while he (Chris) was drunk or something.

Anyway, why only $9500??? Such a little sum.

[AB/CD]

well poland doesnt drink anymore and he is still friends with dave anyway wouldnt have worked on system has failed if he wasnt so being friends would explain the ittle sum

[munky_magik]

It might have happened after their collaboration so that might ruin that theory.

[AB/CD]

never thought of that

does any1 no what songs they r doing on this tour?

[munky_magik]

if you check back through this thread you'll be able to find a recent setlist somewhere.

[AB/CD]

ah righto cant wait for this concertonly like 2 weeks away

[munky_magik]

where are you seeing them?

[Isaacsass89]

Although I love lyrics of Peace Sells and Mechanix.

Strange, I think mechanix is one of their worst songs, lyrically. (still an amazing song). Some of the songs on SFSGSW have some decent lyrics, such as in my darkest hour and set the world afire. Countdown as well has some good lyrics. Megadeth lyrics are decent, and not really better or worse than most other thrash lyrics anyway (IMO).

[btoto]

I love Mechanix lyrics because they're funny and different. Different I mean, it's about $ex as far as I know however it's not described in a stupid way. The first time I read the lyrics I even laughed a bit. :thumb:

[AB/CD]

seein them in Belfast first time they have been here in like 8 years apperantly

[Iplaythegeeeeetar!]

Hey, I love megadeth, and to play their songs, but I'm having trouble playing poland's solos. It seems to me he uses a technique, but, I don't know. Can anyone help me out?

[AB/CD]

just piss about with em ya no i dont play guitar i play bass and ellefson does some pretty awkward stuff so i just piss about with it and eventually youll ust get it

[Iplaythegeeeeetar!]

just piss about with em ya no i dont play guitar i play bass and ellefson does some pretty awkward stuff so i just piss about with it and eventually youll ust get it
all right, thanks... i guess...

[AB/CD]

if u want my advice ignore my advice i never know what im saying half the time lol but emm i actually dont think theres a technuiqe to it

[btoto]

Who cares about Chris' technique (yes, he's the best for me in Megadeth)??? I mean, just get the tabs, learn a few solos by him and after that you'll know all of his tricks. Guitarists can always sound different in their songs, but they all have their "specific" tricks. You just need to learn some of his stuff and then you'll automatically dig into it.

Sorry, couldn't explain any better :thumb:

[Iplaythegeeeeetar!]

Who cares about Chris' technique (yes, he's the best for me in Megadeth)??? I mean, just get the tabs, learn a few solos by him and after that you'll know all of his tricks. Guitarists can always sound different in their songs, but they all have their "specific" tricks. You just need to learn some of his stuff and then you'll automatically dig into it.

Sorry, couldn't explain any better :thumb:
great explanation, but, i mean, how does he play those solos so fast without doing pull-offs or hammer-ons or tremelo picking?

[btoto]

^It is called speed picking I guess. I can't explain how he plays that fast because I never tried his solos. :upset:

I need to spend more time on learning 'deth's stuff.

[MAthiAS]

Marty's leads are much harder than Poland's leads IMO. Not really for speed, but for sweeping and some tough legato runs.

Lyrically, I like Megadeth a lot. Sometimes the lyrics are shat, but the music makes up for it tenfold. Other times the lyrics are very good. Dave seems to write a bit more abstractly than other thrash bands, and I like that.

[btoto]

MAthiAS
--------

Marty's stuff is easier. IMO Poland's solos are the hardest on Megadeth albums.

Marty just uses various styles as you said and different scales.

However, technique vise Poland is harder..............again IMO

BTW, I recently read that as soon as Chris was kicked out from 'deth, he recorded a solo album named Return To Metropolis with his brother on drums which showed his great songwriting skills. Apparently, album was also filled with a few 'deth-like riffs and some serious shredding. I want to hear it :upset:

[ForiegnPenguin]

I saw that at Newbury Comics but didn't have the money to buy it. I'm surprised Gars isn't on drums.

[MAthiAS]

REally? I'll have to check that out. Anyone here like MD.45? I've never actually checked them out either. I've heard they're like exactly the same as Deth.

[ForiegnPenguin]

Yet another cd I constantly see but never have bothered to pick up.I really should though. I think I heard Dave doesn't sing on it.

[Magicaltroll]

hey anyone know what cd i should pick up next by these guys, i have RIP and countdown to extinction, havent listened to CTE yet though. but what other 'deth cd should i get?

thanks in advance

[munky_magik]

If you like Thrashier stuff, go for Killing is my Business....and buisness is good and Peace Sells.
If you're not thrashs centred I would reccomend Cryptic Writings, it's not thrashy at all but it's one of their best efforts IMO.
Also for just heay metal try The System has failed, and The World Needs A Hero.

[Lord Abortion]

TSHF is excellent...
best song on that is truth be told IMO

[munky_magik]

I really like Truth be told untill it breaks into the solos.
I love Die Dead Enough.

[Lord Abortion]

I really like Truth be told untill it breaks into the solos.
I love Die Dead Enough.
TBT sounds like a great shout along - crowd participaion song for live shows
die dead enough too...

[munky_magik]

ah well, Only need to wait 13 days to find out :)

[Lord Abortion]

yup booking train tickets tonight
and will be sitting in Glasgow station for most of the night afterwords until trains start in the morning...

[munky_magik]

my, how I envy you :p
this is where knowing so many people that can drive is so helpful.

[Lord Abortion]

yeah I hope to be able to drive by Download festival but it's gonna be a tall order
ah public transport is crap in England

[munky_magik]

It's not too bad
I've used to trains to get to the Carling festival for the last 2 years and they've been alright.

[acefrehleyjendell]

only 3 more months *headbangs*

[AB/CD]

Anyone here like MD.45? I've never actually checked them out either. I've heard they're like exactly the same as Deth.

MD.45 is exactly the same as deth cos its all daves material. that album they done was amazing and Dave sings on the remastered copys but Lee Ving or some1 sings on original

[JH LU KH RT]

Does anyone know if this is DAves last tour, cause i would be pised when i went to the show it was sold out!

[AB/CD]

dont htink so this is daves last tour under the name "Megadeth" but far as i no he said hed be doing a solo career

[munky_magik]

and because we believe everything Dave says :rolleyes:

[AB/CD]

dunno about u but i believe everything he says

[munky_magik]

seriously? Dave is the biggest bullshitter that I know.

[^Dream~Theater^]

dunno about u but i believe everything he says
Thats why your a fanboy

[Chu]

So...
I'm going in to the city in a few hours... I want another 'Deth album. :thumb:
I have Rust in Peace and So Far, So Good... So What! so what should I be looking for (Question to experienced Megadeth fans? :P) I'm interested in a Thrash album, but not sure which I should get, suggestions please!

[munky_magik]

Try Killing is my Buisness....And Buisness is good. That's the last of their really thrashy albums. Countdown To Extinction is another great album, but more Classic Metal than thrash.

[Chu]

Yeah, well, that's the album I was after when I got SFSGSW, sorry, I didn't say in my post, Australia has what I would call, the worst taste in music. I had to order SFSGSW from Europe... So yeah, I have a problem looking for their early work :(
But, the albums I do know I can get are The World Needs a Hero, Cryptic Writings and I guess Countdown To Extinction.
I'll order in Killing is my Buisness.... And Buisness is good.definately though.

[Burdcheese]

Finally got Rust In Peace today.
No idea why its taken me so long to get it...

[RiceMonster]

Finally got Rust In Peace today.
No idea why its taken me so long to get it...
Good job. Rust in Peace is my personal favorite Megadeth album.

[MAthiAS]

Try Killing is my Buisness....And Buisness is good. That's the last of their really thrashy albums. Countdown To Extinction is another great album, but more Classic Metal than thrash.
What? KIMB was their first album, and their most thrashy. Its also IMO their second best album, after Rust in Peace.

[munky_magik]

What? KIMB was their first album, and their most thrashy. Its also IMO their second best album, after Rust in Peace.
I meant it was the last thrashy Megadeth album that he didn't have.

[MAthiAS]

I meant it was the last thrashy Megadeth album that he didn't have.
Oh I see. Sorry about that.

What do you guys think is more worth the money... Cryptic Writings or The World Needs a Hero? I like Trust a lot, but off TWNAH there's Dread and the Fugitive Mind and Return to Hangar. Those are the only songs I've heard off either, cept Almost Honest, which I really don't like.

[munky_magik]

I would pick Cryptic writings over TWNAH as IMO it has a lot better songs and is jsut generally better quality.
It's not very metally at all thoguh so that puts a lot of people off of it.

[Chu]

In other news, how good is Mary Jane!
I dunno, I'm addicted to it now, I can't stop listenning to it, especially at the 3:00 mark where he breaks out with the "FORGIVE ME FAAAATHER, FOOOR I HAVE SINNNNNED" and then the 'solo' although, not really a solo? I guess that's Mustaine, right? I can't really tell the difference between the two guys...

[AB/CD]

the songs good for a while i used to love it but now when i have sfsgsw playing i always skip it and listen to 502 instead ya no its just 1 of them songs u end up playing out

[Chu]

the songs good for a while i used to love it but now when i have sfsgsw playing i always skip it and listen to 502 instead ya no its just 1 of them songs u end up playing out
Yeah, I can see that happening :(

Also, how good's the picture at the back of the SFSGSW booklet? 80's! I love it.

[AB/CD]

do u mean the 1 on the back of the cd cover aswell i like it cos if u look at dave and compare him to peace sells and kiling is my business u can see how much he changed like he got a bit of weight on himself and face looks a hell of alot different

[Chu]

I have neither of those albums :(
I want them though, I'm trying to see if my mum will gimme the car for today so I can run into the music store (I couldn't get the car yesterday :()

[AB/CD]

both good albums i never used to like peace sells but when i started trying to learn peace sells on bass i had to listen to it and got into it from there

[MAthiAS]

SFSGSW is underrated IMO. Into the Lungs of Hell is my all time favorite instrumental, its better than any of Tallica's easily. Set the World Afire is classic. Anarchy was a cover, and a pretty cool one I'd say. Mary Jane, I agree with the dude above who likes it. 502 is a nice little song. In My Darkest Hour is another classic. Liar, I personally love it. And Hook in Mouth is just awesome.

[ForiegnPenguin]

Yeah, that is a great album. I love Set the World Afire.

[RiceMonster]

I've only heard In My Darkest Hour and Set the World Afire of that album. Both great tracks.

[AB/CD]

best song off that album is hook in mouth just an amazing song

[MAthiAS]

My favorite is Into the Lungs of Hell. I don't know, I think its amazing. In My Darkest Hour is a very close second, then Hook in Mouth.

[AB/CD]

my only problem with hook in mouth is i cant find a completed bass tab for it

[CaptainWaits]

Yes Hook in Mouth is a great song, as is 502 i'd say

[AB/CD]

502 is good spec the start i always thought it was a proper siren but i had my headphones on yesterday and realised it was ellefson or some1 making the noise

[metalcore]

brother will kill brother, spillin blood across the land!

[AB/CD]

where the **** did that come from no1 mentioned that song for ages lol

[goddess_of_desire5353]

megadeth is probaly one of my favorite metal bands
i have all of their cds except killing is my buisness and buisness is good
other then that i have them all
my favorite is probaly peace sells but who's buying or the system has failed

[Lord Abortion]

Um, I don't much like In my darkest hour, they are playing that on tour
they should do anarchy in the U.K that would be cool

What's the deal with TWNAH?
is it a proper album because it hasn't go remade yet :confused:

[acefrehleyjendell]

Um, I don't much like In my darkest hour, they are playing that on tour

What's the deal with TWNAH?

Why would it even need to get remastered when it only came out
3 and a half years ago.

It sounds fine the way it is. Most of them do. The only remasters i think
make a real difference are risk, cryptic writings and youthinasia.

[Lord Abortion]

ah cool... (relative megadeth n00bness exposed)

[acefrehleyjendell]

ah cool... (relative megadeth n00bness exposed)

Well the only way to cure that is to be "CRASHING, THRASHING TO MEGADETH" Rattle your godamm head.

[Lord Abortion]

doing so sir!
Rattle Head
"A dose of metal you need
To bang your head til you bleed
It's time for snapping some neck
Slashing, thrashing to Megadeth" :thumb:

[Caminero]

I have...
PSBHB
SFSGSW
RIP
CTE

and i want more, but not much after CTE, i want Killing is my business but is it good? I aint heard nothing from it.
And why the **** do they insist on long titles grrr

[Lord Abortion]

CTE rules, but RIP is currently my favourite Dawn patrol leads perfectly into RIP...P

[MAthiAS]

KIMB is amazing. IMO its their second best, after Rust in Peace.

And I'd recammend getting The System Has Failed, its quite good too. Maybe you wouldn't like Youthanasia, but you'd probably like TSHF.

[Lord Abortion]

Eight days to go and two days off too NICE!!!

[ForiegnPenguin]

They might come to Ozzfest I'm hoping, along with Maiden. Oh that would be nice.

[Lord Abortion]

They might come to Ozzfest I'm hoping, along with Maiden. Oh that would be nice.
very nice
Just got youthanasia last night

a tout le monde is brilliant...

[ForiegnPenguin]

The first four tracks are perfect along with Victory and the title track.

[Lord Abortion]

The first four tracks are perfect along with Victory and the title track.
victory is quite cool referencing all the old songs...

[ForiegnPenguin]

Yeah, and the solos are sick.

[acefrehleyjendell]

Hey Droogs, Guess who won a Mustaine King V Jackson on ebay for
$500 AUD ?. I can't wait to bust out with Symphony and Angry Again.

It's totally jet black and only has Dot inlays and Jackson Pickups but it
sounds great, and it's FAST, REALLY REALLY FAST.

I guess i'll have to learn the rest of Holy Wars, not just the main riff.

[(LOKI)]

one week 2moro I'm goin 2 c megadeth :thumb: diamond head supportin, they will be evil

[acefrehleyjendell]

Doesn't it seem a bit incestuous or kinda full cricle that Diamond Head
are supporting the band that they pretty much created through their
music?.

I've still got about 3 months to go until Megadeth make their way down
under, I hope they bring a US band along like Lamb of God.

[(LOKI)]

well I dont realy mind as I get to see both bands

[Jamie FT]

hey all, I haven't posted in here in AAAAGGGGEEEEESSSSS

what's up? I'm seeing megadeth a week on friday in birmingham, anyone else coming?

[CaptainWaits]

hey all, I haven't posted in here in AAAAGGGGEEEEESSSSS

what's up? I'm seeing megadeth a week on friday in birmingham, anyone else coming?

No :upset:

They're not coming anywhere's near Western Canada, so not only I won't see that show, I wont see any show of them

[Jamie FT]

OH NOES! and it's the last ever tour! man it sucks to be you :upset: = you

[MAthiAS]

Yeah, and the solos are sick.
One of my favorite Deth solos. Victory is definitely my favorite song off of Youthanasia.
I hope they bring a US band along like Lamb of God.
I doubt they'd bring LOG. They're on tour now, and they'll probably be back on Ozzfest.

Exodus was a great choice for them to tour with.

[VeedBok]

No :upset:

They're not coming anywhere's near Western Canada, so not only I won't see that show, I wont see any show of them

yeah that sucks i really wanted to see them

[Josh]

i had the chance to go see megadeth in february, but i cant be bothered, mainly because i would end up spending about £100 by the time i got the ticket and travelled to glasgow by train. my mate ollie (Lord Abortion) is going, and so's a teacher at my school.

my favourite songs are moto-psycho and train of consequences

[RiceMonster]

I saw Megadeth in October. Damn it was good.

[Burdcheese]

Only 14 days to go... :D

How is it still January?

[AB/CD]

im seeing em on wednsday for free and gets to go back stage so lick my *** :lol:

[vashts80]

I saw that at Newbury Comics but didn't have the money to buy it. I'm surprised Gars isn't on drums.

Gar died on July 14th, 1999.

I wish I could have gone to the November 12th show in Philly :(

[btoto]

Question to those who've been to 'deth concerts:

does Dave ever improvise??? Well, something like seperate guitar solos or just........uh you got the idea :thumb:

[CaptainWaits]

OH NOES! and it's the last ever tour! man it sucks to be you :upset: = you

Yes it does :upset:

[btoto]

I live in asia and they probably won't come here too.

So, sucks to be me too :upset:

If Dave doesn't come to us, we will go to him :p

[Robb-Himself]

megadeth is the best simply u got every thing in there... alothough ive never been to a megadeth tour i seen some of their concerts in vidoes its brutal people drop kick off the stage . But that just makes it all the more better. I usually run into people who are like man i love megadeAth with the A fags. Megadeth is the best espically tornado of souls and Dread and a Fugitive mind

[CaptainWaits]

I live in asia and they probably won't come here too.

So, sucks to be me too :upset:

If Dave doesn't come to us, we will go to him :p

Your in Asia eh, where abouts??

[WeezerTool523]

I finally found a store that carried Killing is my business... so I bought it :). Great CD thats brings the Megadeth count to 6!

[btoto]

Your in Asia eh, where abouts??

One of the ex-soviet countries that became independent in 1991. A very little country you won't even find it on the map. :upset:

[CaptainWaits]

I finally found a store that carried Killing is my business... so I bought it :). Great CD thats brings the Megadeth count to 6!

The only Megadeth Albums I need now are "Risk", and "The World Needs A Hero",....but I don't know if I'll ever end up getting them

[Lord Abortion]

Well I need Risk, cryptic writings and TWNAH
to complete my 'deth collection...
no money though so what is the best out of these three IYO?

[ArcLite]

I'd say Cryptic Writings is the best of those, then Risk, then TWNAH.

[ThrashMaster27]

Cryptic Writings. Risk is obviously the last of the pile, cause it's crap. The World Needs a Hero is pretty good in parts, but not so much to call it a decent album. So get Cryptic Writings, easily the best of the three.

[Lord Abortion]

O.K one week today 'til 'deth in Glasgow...

[acefrehleyjendell]

I just downloaded a video of Kick the Chair live in ST. Louis

[Lord Abortion]

so does anyone have a perticular song they want to hear on tour??
I would really like to hear holy wars...

[ArcLite]

I'll second that, and Wake up Dead.

[munky_magik]

O.K one week today 'til 'deth in Glasgow...
I know, I can't wait :D

[AB/CD]

ahhh my mate JP got a bootleg DVD of a concert in Philly from November and wake up dead and holy wars r on it so they should be playing both at the concerts.

[playguitar]

They usually play Holy Wars last. When I saw them at the Warfield Dave came out on stage and started to play the intro reeeeaaaally slow. It was so slow you couldn't tell what song it was. He gradually got a faster and faster until they went full speed, it was great.

[MAthiAS]

Yeah, he did something like that at the show I saw in Philly.

They always play Holy Wars last, and they always play Wake Up Dead. Wake Up Dead was sick live. A song that surprised me (both that they played it and how cool it sounded) was The Scorpion. Live it just has a chugging edge to it that I think it lost on the album.

[RiceMonster]

Yes, Wake Up Dead, was the highlight of the performance when I saw them.

Deffinetly Cyrptic Writings, it's my favorite out of the new 'deth albums easily, it's a lot better than it is said to be

[MAthiAS]

Yeah, same here. Kick the Chair was great too. And Reckoning Day.

[munky_magik]

Cryptic writings is just my Fave 'Deth album. It's really a showcasing of Dave's writing skills and IMO it contains some of Marty's best moments. It's a whole world away fromt their thrash sound but to me it is by far their most mature and intelligent release. It's like they actually put some thought into what songs and styles to incorporate into the album, instead of jsut going for the whole thrash sound.
