Megadeth

[Chu]

We're falling behind boys :thumb:

[MAthiAS]

instead of jsut going for the whole thrash sound.
"that thrash sound" is what makes Deth my favorite band...

[munky_magik]

Each to their own. While I enjoy listening to their Thrash era stuff, I much prefer listening to the stuff after it as it what really puts Megadeth ahead as a great band for me.
If they had stuck to their thrash sound then I wouldn't appreciate them nearly as much as I do.

I've really grown to respect what munky says, looks like Cryptic Writings is next on my list :)
Thanks man.

[munky_magik]

Although it is my favourite album, I do warn you that it is really detached from the convential Megadeth sound which is why so, so many people dislike it. You should definatly give it a listen to though and form your opinion.

[Master Of Nebulah Frost]

Just buy the god**** System!

Well, I agree completely with your taste in music, so I see no reason why I wouldn't like it...

[munky_magik]

Heh, just treat it as a disclaimer. Cryptic Writings has Trust and She-Wolf on it so you should find at least some things to like, although Live Rude Awakening She-Wolf>Recorded version :)

[Chu]

What album is Symphony of Destruction from?
I like that song, well I have a live video of it, (From Woodstcok '99) the guitarist doesn't look like someone Mustaine would let play for him (Reminds me of Incubus' guitarist tbh).

Edit: Didn't realise I also had the video clip on my HDD :D
The little windmill part at about 2:12 rocks, if only it went longer :(:(:(

[munky_magik]

Symphony of Destruction is from their Seminal "Countdown to Extinction" album. Another very good album, but much more Classic metal than any of the others. It also has great songwriting, but not as great as Cryptic writings IMO.

At '99 I think he would still have had Marty, though I'm not too sure.

Anyway, I'm gonna hit the sack. G'night :wave:

[ThrashMaster27]

Yeah, Marty was their until 1999, so it would have been him. What's up with Martys look anyway? he's got a great Perm!

[Chu]

Yeah, Marty was their until 1999, so it would have been him. What's up with Martys look anyway? he's got a great Perm!
Nah, I reckon he looks sick.
I just remember reading that Mustaine only wants his band members looking 'metal' and imo , the guitarist (Marty) doesn't look very Metal :D

[vashts80]

Marty looked Metal before he cut his hair... :x
By Woodstock, he had already cut his hair a lot shorter than it was (I think it was about as long as Mustaine's was before Marty cut it) and he cut it so that it was slightly lower than his shoulders

[RiceMonster]

Yeah, Marty's old look was pretty awsome. My hair's a bit like that, just brown. To bad he cut it.

[willis2441]

Peace Sells, But Whos Buyin????!!!!

That's what I thought, thanks for clearing it up :D

[Freezing Moon]

Marty used the Jackson Kelly right? I am thinking about getting that guiatar, its pretty cool.

[The Essential]

yep he uses a jackson kelly and a rhoads v as well..

[The Essential]

Peace Sells, But Whos Buyin????!!!!
I AM. :cool:

[Chu]

I AM. :cool:
lol, that's awesome.

[Cowboy from hell]

OMG i bought a guitar mag the other day and Chris Poland was advertising somthing (i think Jackson guitars) and **** does he look aged, hes and old man with short hair (or thats what it seemed like in the image). Some pretty ****ed good work on TSHF though.

whoop

[Lord Abortion]

I wish they were playing Rust in peace

Dawn patrol into rust in peace would be cool as that is really an intro to RIP
A tout le monde will be great aswell

[i_love_my_epiphone]

[AB/CD]

2 days and i get to meet Dave :D

[vashts80]

If they come back here on the final lap of the US in the summer, I'm going to try to go. I was going to go when they came to the Electric Factory back in November, but nobody would take me, and I dunno if there's an age limit. (I'm 13)

I went to that Electric Factory show, it was amazing. And there's no age restriction there. I actually had to go there because the venue in NY had an age restriction. (I'm 15.)

[MoX_KIll]

All of them, in this order...
So Far, So Good... So What!
Cryptic Writings
Youthanasia

Some will probably disagree, but I just can't seem to get into Youthanasia much. A few songs here and there, but I choose not to listen to it that often.

OMFG. I haven't heard BTU live yet :( I haven't heard Mechanix live on this tour either. :(

I've only got two recordings though..a boot of the 11/12 Electric Factory show, and the FM radio broadcast of the Detroit show (11/17 I think it was)

[Freezing Moon]

I have the Detroit show too. The only thing I don't like about Megadeth live recently, is that Dave's voice seems higher. I used to really like it, but it's just not what I'm used to hearing.

I would still give almost anything to see them live though.

[DethtillDeath...do..us..part]

Help me out here which of these Megadeths cd's should i get i cant decide
So far so Good So What!
Cryptic Writings or
Youthanasia
Out of those three...i gotta give the thumbs up to SO FAR SO GOOD.Ive been listening to the pissed of rantings and geniusly crafted solos of Dave and Megadeth since Killing is my bussines came out when i was 13.And i gotta say SO FAR has got to be 1 of the best(What Megafreak does'nt like My darkest hour) next to rust and of course Peace Sells,the one that started it all for me.

Peace sells...Ya i bought it...SO..FAR..SO...GOOD>>>SO WHAT!!!

[edgebass5]

Okay, a rather lengthy tale of my first Megadeth show that I found pretty amusing, and you all might too:

My girlfriend's brother gives us a call and says that he's sitting at the bar with a guy who works for Clear Channel radio. He's apparently got 4 tickets/backstage passes to go see Megadeth in Spokane Washington at a concert venue called the Big Easy. He's trying to get rid of them all for $50 ($12.50 per ticket/backstage pass). So we go down there, meet the guy and check out the tickets. They looked VERY legit, but the guy seemed really weird and sketchy. Well, we figure that at the worst its $12.50, a two-hour drive to the show, and if they do turn out to be fake, we'll just turnaround and go home, no big loss. Well, we get to the show, and sure enough, they're fake. Now, here's where it starts getting good; The folks at the Big Easy decided that they didn't want to put us out since we had driven two hours for the show, so they give us all tickets. At this point my girlfriend's brother is still pretty pissed about getting scammed out of backstage passes. He tracks down some security team leader-guy and tells him the story. So, the guy leads us into a little room in the back of the venue where we all fill out a form describing the guy that sold us the fake tickets/backstag passes and write a little narrative about how it went down, where it took place, etc. etc. Afterwords, he says, "You guys have been very cooperative and this really helps us track down these kind of scam artists. To show our appreciation, here's four backstage passes, enjoy the show."

So, for $12.50 we got to go see Megadeth, watch the show from a VIP booth (thanks to the backstage passes), meet Megadeth after the show and generally have a fantastic evening.

No real point to posting this, just thought you guys might get a kick out of my little tale of my first Megadeth concert.

[MAthiAS]

^^sounds awesome!

[edgebass5]

^^^Yeah, it was one hell of a night. It could have ended up a lot worse (i.e. no show at all), but it ended up as being one of the best nights ever.

[Master Of Nebulah Frost]

I wasn't there!!! :thumb:

Where do you live? If you're in Europe, Japan, US, So Am, and I think Australia, Deth are gonna tour there.

[Five Magics]

has anyone seen the results from the floyd megadeth tiebreaker on albums, sadly RIP is losing to Wish you were here. oh well

[Freezing Moon]

Where do you live? If you're in Europe, Japan, US, So Am, and I think Australia, Deth are gonna tour there.

I live in the US, but I live in Idaho. :(

Unless they come to Boise, I don't have much of a chance of seeing them. I'm going to try my hardest though.

drive my friend, drive... next time around in the US... DRIVE! I drove 2 and a half hours, not much, but I'd be willing to drive for as much as it took long as it was less than a 2 day drive. Overnight would still be worth it. **** it, I'd go as far as it takes.

Yeah and everyone go vote for Rust in Peace.

[Freezing Moon]

Good plan. I'm only 15, luckily Idaho has redneck laws and I will be getting my liscense any day now. :)

[thelittledrummerboy]

Just bought criptic writings. Sounds Awsome, Its kinda like Metallica, Guns and Roses and Motely Crue ran into each other the the wreckage was Megadeth. Under all that its a :thumb: from me, although im still waiting for Rust in peace to come in, is it worth the wait? :confused:

[Freezing Moon]

Definitly worth the wait. If you liked Cryptic Writings, wait until you hear RIP.

[ArcLite]

Not sure if its been mentioned yet but on their official site they have polls going for what songs will make it onto their greatest hits CD. I already went and voted, moreso for something to do than anything but I guess its news.

[acefrehleyjendell]

I just saw Megadeth play Holy Wars on the show they did with Metallica
and Diamond Head in 1993.

[acefrehleyjendell]

Here's what i think should be on it. In order.

1. Last Rites / Loved to Death
2. Killing is my business... and business is good
3. Rattlehead
4. Mechanix
5. Devil's Island
6. Hanger 18
7. Tornado of souls
8. Symphony of Destruction
9. Countdown to extinction
10. Rust in Peace
11. Trust
12. Moto Psycho
13. 99 Ways to Die
14. Angry Again
15. Kick the chair
16. Die dead enough
17. Peace Sells... But who's Buying?
18. Crush 'em
19. Strange Ways (KISS Cover)
20. Holy Wars

but i think all of you would have entirely different veiws.

[ThrashMaster27]

20 songs? ok.

1. Last Rites/Loved To Death
2. Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!
3. Mechanix
4. Peace Sells
5. Good Mourning/Black Friday
6. My Last Words
7. Into The Lungs of Hell (Yes! I'm aware it's an instrumental)
8. Liar
9. Hook In Mouth
10. Holy Wars....The Punishment Due
11. Five Magics
12. Tornado of Souls
13. Ashes In Your Mouth
14. Addicted To Chaos
15. The Killing Road
16. The Disintegrators
17. She-Wolf
18. Blackmail The Universe
19. Back In The Day
20. New Track

[Reidie86]

my best of would be

1. last rites...loved to deth
2. mechanix
3. the chosen ones
4. wake up dead
5. peace sells
6. devils island
7. my last words
8. hook in mouth
9. in my darkest hour
10 hanger 18
11. holy wars ...... the punishment due
12. take no prisinors
13. symphony of destruction
14. captive honour
15. skin o' my teeth
16. addicted to chaos
17. a tout le monde
18. trust
19. promises
20. disconect
21. die dead enough
22. kick the chair



could have added other tracks too, ie. rust in peace/ polaris, 5 magics, arcatecture of aggresion, ashes in your mouth, reckoning day, blackmail the universe. some more songs from cryptic writings could go on it, but i dont think a "best of" cd should have to have a certain amount of songs from each album, imo songs like she wolf, secret place and the disintegrators are up there with the best of the songs from cryptic writings but dont cut it on a megadeth "best of"

[munky_magik]

Definitly worth the wait. If you liked Cryptic Writings, wait until you hear RIP.
why? because he likes Cryptic Writings doesn't necesarilly gurantee thet he'll like RIP. The sounds are quite distant so there's an equal chance that he won't.

[ArcLite]

Yeah, it moreso guarantees that he'll like Youthanasia.

[jaymz_is_god]

20 songs for a greatest hits album?

1)Rattle Head
2)Mechanix
3)Wake Up Dead
4)Peace Sells
5)My Last Words

8)Holy Wars...The Punishment Due

[shadow_stalker]

what year was rude awakening released?

[MAthiAS]

20 Song greatest hits eh? Greatest hits... can't pick my favorites, gotta pick the greatest...

Last Rites/Loved to Deth
The Skull Beneath the Skin
Rattlehead
Mechanix
Wake Up Dead
Peace Sells
Good Morning/Black Friday

In My Darkest Hour
Holy Wars
Hangar 18
Tornado of Souls
Symphony of Destruction
Sweating Bullets
A Tout le Monde
Angry Again
Trust
Die Dead Enough
Kick the Chair
Back in the Day

I tried to go for the more memorable songs, as opposed to my personal favorites.

[heaven or hell?]

what year was rude awakening released?

2002, i think

[MAthiAS]

2002, i think
Yeah, or at least the concert was in 2002, I'm pretty sure. Because they cancelled that show in Argentina because of 9/11 and this was the show they did in its place, so they released it.

I just repped all of you guys... now go and vote against Metallica in the album polls.

I saw megadeth last night in glasgow, they were f*ckin awesome! I have the bruises as proof

[Lord Abortion]

Some words on last night
I was 2 rows from the front near the PA right - centre and my ears are still ringing.
Megadeth were incredible!
highlights included the huge sing- alongs that were a tout le monde and sweating bullets, the cheer that greeted the latter was magnificent...
unfortunately there were some feedback problems on Dave's mike which made some lyrics sound odd at the start...
the best songs were sweating bullets, hangar 18, holy wars, tornado of souls,wake up dead, skin o my teeth, the scorpion ...well they were all bloody amazing
in a tiny venue the atmosphere was brilliant and We went away deafened and happy at the electric performance by Dave and the band
Diamond head supported and were fantastic too ...
For a support band to get a sing along is unusual and at least three is wierd, but we all knew the words to am I evil?, it's electric and blown to pieces...
they later joined 'deth onstage for backing vocals in the superb rendition of Back in the day.
all in all that was an incredible gig and long may they continue!

[Lord Abortion]

that was odd as much as maiden are my favourite band it seemed a bit strange to me

there was some stuff I didn't recognise like angry again and trust
and they could have dropped In my darkest hour because it's crap
Polaris would have been great in it's place loved the mechanix and peace sells mix that was brilliant seeing as there was no rattlehead or looking down the cross

[AB/CD]

Also, refusing to debate the matter hints at immaturity.

if only i knew then what i know now


Lord_abortion has recomended either 'rust in piece' or 'Holy wars' (can't remember which it was), the only one i have so far is peace sells, what would be a good one to get next?

Rust in Peace... Holy Wars is the first track on RiP. Lord Abortion, sounds awesome. One thing about when I saw them, with Exodus, it was pretty sick how they sung Back in the Day together, being as how they're both thrash legends. Anyway, sounds like a hell of the show, as always from them.

[shadow_stalker]

ah i got confused then

ok i'll look into getting rust in piece

thanks

RIP definitly won't dissapoint. I used to listen to it all the time, then I kind of stopped for a while. I recently started listening to it more, and I decided to try to learn as much of every song on the entire CD on guitar as I possibly can.

Nice. Take No Prisoners is a really fun song to play because the riffs are pretty much never repeated throughout the whole song, and the solo is short and sweet.

[AB/CD]

ok well i actually cant judge the show in glasgow but i think the belfast show was class cos it was my first concert and stuff

[DethtillDeath...do..us..part]

Im starting this thread with hopes that as a collector myself i can stir up some other collectors out there.Im interested in seeing what every other die hard Deth collector out there..has,needs,wants to sell,trade or buy items that i mite have copies of at the time.

So tell me what you have sitting in that dark closet of Deth collecting dust.Whether it be vinyl,cd's,promo's,test presses,bootlegs and so on.Im interested in hearing about it all from the plain jane to the ultra rare.

PEACE SELLS...YA,I BOUGHT IT

SO FAR..
SO GOOD...
SO WHAT........................MegAMarC

[Freezing Moon]

kill the king is a cool song, anyone else like it?

/noob style post

That was the first Megadeth song I ever heard. I downloaded it and somehow lost/deleted it. I think I'm going to get it again, because its pretty cool.

[IAJP]

At the moment my favourite Megadeth song is Hangar 18
:amaze: what a song!

[Bartender]

My favourite Megadeth song, now and usually, is Train of Consequences.

Apologies for the useless post, I accidentally clicked my way into this thread and felt I couldn't leave without posting something. So I latched on to whatever the post above me said.

[shadow_stalker]

im listening to hanger 18 at the moment, it is really cool, maybe a bit overdone on the guitar solos...nah, they are pretty impressive

i think my fav megadeth song is either 'moto-psyco' or 'die dead enough'

[munky_magik]

After having seen Holy Wars live, I've decided that it is my current fav :)

[IAJP]

That's what's so good about Megadeth, a lot of the guitar solos are really over the top and unnesecary, but they work.

[shadow_stalker]

i hated holy wars live for 1 reason soon as i heard that intro i thought aw **** this night is over

why? :confused:

[IAJP]

Is so far so good so what? Good?
I have Peace Sells.. and R.I.P and both are amazing.
Just thinkin' about getting it :)

[AB/CD]

holy wars is always the last song they play live its amazing live but its just the fact that when it starts u no its the last song and in this case its the last time ill see them

[Burdcheese]

Only 4 days...

I'm so excited.

Also looking forward to the day after - "sorry I can't hear you, I was at a Megadeth concert last night" :D

[AB/CD]

i no all about that my hearing didnt come back till about 3pm the next day

[MAthiAS]

kill the king is a cool song, anyone else like it?

/noob style post
Yeah, its a simple riff but its really cool. The chorus riff is pretty sweet, reminds me of I Know Jack.

Anyone like 99 Ways to Die? Another great song thats not talked about much.

i hated holy wars live for 1 reason soon as i heard that intro i thought aw **** this night is over
Well... you might've said the same at Peace Sells, because Holy Wars always follows it. They always save like Sweating Bullets, Symphony, Peace Sells, and Holy Wars for the end. It was cool on this tour how they threw Back in the Day at the End. And then in the beginning you've got the classic Set the World Afire and Wake Up Dead, so its a good mix of old and new.

99 Ways to Die is an awesome song. Hidden Treasures is pretty cool overall too.

[Deconstruction]

hidden treasures is pretty cool i like truth (especially the Spanish version that was on the remastered version)

[munky_magik]

I Still need to get hidden Treasures :-/

[Freezing Moon]

Who has heard the bootleg of their first ever concert with Kerry King?

The quality is pretty bad, and there is a computerized voice advertising inbetween songs, but it's definitly worth hearing.

[AB/CD]

see the belfast gig was class until i got headbutted during kick the chair

[MAthiAS]

see the belfast gig was class until i got headbutted during kick the chair
I read that as "i got headbutted by a chair"

I don't have Hidden Treasures, just 99 Ways to Die. What else is on there? And is HT an official album or B-sides or what?

[munky_magik]

Hidden Treasures is just B-sides and rare tracks I think.
Angry Again is on it, as is the Duke Nukem theme I think..

[Freezing Moon]

Hidden Treasures is just B-sides and rare tracks I think.

Hidden Treasures is cover songs. It's pretty sweet, I especially like their cover of Paranoid.


Nobody has answered my question about the bootleg concert.

Not me.

[DethtillDeath...do..us..part]

the only megadeth album i have is peace sells :upset:

but im planniong on getting rust in peace (due to advice from this thread :thumb: )
Ya you cant go wrong there.Thats Megadeth at there thrashing peak.When i first picked up Killing is my bus i really did'nt care for it that much(now it's one of my faves)Really Peace sells is the one that got me hooked when it came out in 86.When i heard "peace sells"and "wake up dead" for the first time i was amazed and the rest is Megadeth history they have been my fav for many years now.While rust has got to be there best display of pure musical talent and incredible lyrics you should also check out SO FAR SO GOOD as this album is ****in great(has a sound unlike any other) the whole album stomps gotta love Mary Jane,502,In my darkest hour,set the world afire...like i said the whole thing kicks @ss.

I already posted this in the "other" catagory but this is where it needs to be.If anyone is interested i have an incredible 10 disc set of live one of a kind footage that was shot during the 1990 "RUST IN PEACE TOUR" it has been on tape for some time now just sitting around but has now found its way to dvd.This footage includes Dave and the band in the dressing room,onstage,in an airplane,motel room on so on(hours and hours of never before seen footage) any one that is interested leave me your contact info and i will send you the list which includes everything on the 10 discs,as it's way to long to list here.For those of you that havent seen my first post im a long time fan and huge collector of Megadeth.Let me know what your after and if i dont have a double of it i can most likely find it depending on it's rarity.


Peace Sells...Ya i Bought it....

SO FAR...SO GOOD...SO WHAT!!!!!

I read that as "i got headbutted by a chair"

I don't have Hidden Treasures, just 99 Ways to Die. What else is on there? And is HT an official album or B-sides or what?

Yes Hidden Treasures is an official album that came out in March of 95.The US release included the tracks(1)No more Mr nice guy(2)Breakpoint(3)Go to hell(4)Angry again(5)99 Ways to die(6)Paranoid(7)Diadems(8)Problems

The Japan release has a different cover and like all Japanese releases there is bonus tracks,which include(1)A Tout Le Monde(2)Symphony of Destruction(demo)(3)Architecture of Agression(demo)(4)New world order(demo)

And yes they are all covers and movie tracks that where previously unreleased.Hope this answers all your ?'s.If you want i can send you cover pics of both.

I have a few boots with Kerry,and you can definately tell it's him.I met him at a place i worked at when i was in high school,pretty cool guy.I hooked him up with my discount and he gave me backstage passes for me and my friend.

There first boot that your refering to is called "Burnt Offerings"

Yeah, that's the one. The version I got was just called "First Ever Gig With Kerry King.. etc." Burnt Offerings is one of the songs though. It has an interview with Mustaine at the end of it, if that defines it at all.

[high_speed_dirt120]

who would you say was megadeths best second guitarist?

[btoto]

Chris Poland :thumb:

[munky_magik]

Pfft, Marty > all

[Burdcheese]

Pfft, Marty > all

I second that, if for Hangar 18 alone.

[btoto]

No ! Chris > Marty > Al > Glen > Dave

Al's stage performances were so hot ! :naughty:

[i_love_my_epiphone]

Pfft, Marty > all

I third that

[Freezing Moon]

Pfft, Marty > all

Agreed. Nobody fit as well with the band.

[MAthiAS]

Marty > Chris > Al

Not throwing Glen in there because he's just for the tour, though I think he did a killer job.

[high_speed_dirt120]

Chris poland wrote some alright solos and was a good player, but friedman did some amazing stuff. Rust In Peace Album has some crazy sh*t (Hangar, Lucretia, Prisoners)

[shawnson]

wooooo got my first megadeth album today! :thumb:
peace sells... but who's buying? i was blown away witht he awesome riffs and solos. i'm thinking of picking up rust in peace and so far, so good, so what sometime soon.

Get Killing is my Business too. IMO its got Mustaine's best riffage.

[shawnson]

yes, i've been recommended that one also by my megadeth-loving buddy.

[Freezing Moon]

yes, i've been recommended that one also by my megadeth-loving buddy.

Yes. Recommended order for you:

Rust in Peace
Killing is my Business
SFSGSW
Countdown to Extinction

After that any random order you want. Just my suggestion.

[MoX_KIll]

I cant find Killing is my Business anywhere

[MAthiAS]

Yes. Recommended order for you:

Rust in Peace
Killing is my Business
SFSGSW
Countdown to Extinction

After that any random order you want. Just my suggestion.
Agreed. Actually, after that go Youthanasia, The System Has Failed, Cryptic Writings, The World Needs a Hero. Somewhere in there pick up the Rude Awakening DVD too.

I cant find Killing is my Business anywhere
Probably because it was re-released in 2002, not in 2004 along with the others.
www.amazon.com

[MoX_KIll]

I cant order from online stores my mom doesnt trust the internet :upset:

Ouch. If you have a good local store, they can probably order it for you.

If you're into trading, I can help you out too. :cool:

i no all about that my hearing didnt come back till about 3pm the next day
that's nothing
i was two rows from the PA and I still have ringing in my ears...

Arrgggghh how dare you forget good old Peace Sells ??? :evil:








:thumb:

[Master Of Nebulah Frost]

They only songs I really like off R.I.P. are 'Holy Wars...', 'Hangar 18', and 'Five Magics'.

[munky_magik]

That was the album the guy had just bought.

My fault :upset:

[shadow_stalker]

i would get that album just for Hanger 18

[MAthiAS]

If you have a good local store, they can probably order it for you.
Yeah.

They only songs I really like off R.I.P. are 'Holy Wars...', 'Hangar 18', and 'Five Magics'.
No Tornado or Rust in Peace? Those two and the ones you said are the greatest, the others are all good songs that kind of complete the album.

[Chu]

Rust in Peace is an amazing album, imo.
I love Take No Prisoners, just the intro riff. Speed metal at its finest indeed.
There's not one song on the album I can't listen to. Except maybe for that stupid My Creation song, I don't like that, has a nice intro riff though...

[vashts80]

Does James play with a pick? I can't tell from the Philly bootleg :\

Edit: And IMO...

For a more thrashy album, get KIMB, PSBWB or RiP...for a fast album, TSHF or SFSGSW (IMO)...for a more experimental album, get Youth or Cryptic, and if you want a more rock type album, Risk.

Hidden Treasures is awesome as well...Rude Awakening is good, kind-of like a live best-of, except Dave's voice is messed...it's pretty high on most songs

[MAthiAS]

The System Has Failed is definitely not a "fast" album. Its got some thrashy songs, but most are in the style on Countdown and Youthanasia. I pretty much disagree with you totally here. For thrashy albums... get any of the first four. For some good heavy metal with some thrash elements, get any of the others. And don't get Risk.

And yeah, Dave sings higher live, and sometimes he cracks. I like it though.

For the most part I like Dave's voice, but sometimes live, at least on the recent live bootleg I have, he sings a little too high for my liking. I think a lot of it might be how complex and fast lots of the riffs he is playing are. It's really hard (for me at least) to sing and play at the same time. Especially Megadeth songs.

Yeah, true. If you ask me, Dave can sing however he wants, the music is still awesome.

[Freezing Moon]

Yeah, true. If you ask me, Dave can sing however he wants, the music is still awesome.

Couldn't agree more. Some people hate his singing, I like it, but I would listen even if I thought it was just ok.

[ArcLite]

I wouldn't begin to call him a talented singer. However, I happen to like it with his songs...I guess for some reason its just part of what I like about Megadeth. It just wouldn't be Megadeth without Dave's crap singing.

[MAthiAS]

Its not really crap singing, Dave's just got a kind of weird voice. It wouldn't suit any other band but Megadeth.

[Freezing Moon]

Its not really crap singing, Dave's just got a kind of weird voice. It wouldn't suit any other band but Megadeth.

123. It fits Megadeth perfectly though, imo.

[ArcLite]

Its not really crap singing, Dave's just got a kind of weird voice. It wouldn't suit any other band but Megadeth.

This is true, but I have noticed numerous times on pretty much every album where he fails to hit a note or is sharp or flat etc. His singing makes the band, but I wouldn't call it good.

[vashts80]

Does anybody know where James plays with a pick? :x

I know that Ellefson played with fingers but then switched to a pick around Youth or Cryptic (or maybe it was RiP, can't remember), but I dunno about James. :\

[Reidie86]

james played with fingers, but had to take up using a pick 4 songs like holywars etc.
ellefson played with a pick while he played for megadeth, but before that he was a finger picker

[Chu]

Its not really crap singing, Dave's just got a kind of weird voice. It wouldn't suit any other band but Megadeth.
I think his vocal sound is cool.
Initially I think it's what put me off Megadeth for a while, but I just loved the music I didn't care for his vocals.
Now however, I think his voice is awesome, definately not going to be a duplicate of him :p
I think his voice adds a catchiness to the vocals, I always find myself humming Megadeth lyrics to myself.. Especially "I spread disease like a dog, discharge my payloooooooadd!!"

[Lord Abortion]

Dave sings brilliantly IMO
that vocal sound takes some getting used to but it sounds great
listen to sweating bullets for proof of this

[shadow_stalker]

yeah first time i heard 'sweating bullets' his voice annoyed the gell out of me but it got the sound of the song got stuck in my head so i had to find out what it was

[MAthiAS]

Yeah I know. Dave's vocals really have to grow on you, especially songs like Sweating Bullets. Kind of like how CoB's vocals have to grow on you.

[Lord Abortion]

it's like that for alot of bands
slayer, cradle of filth, cannibal corpse...

[MAthiAS]

it's like that for alot of bands
slayer, cradle of filth, cannibal corpse...
Yeah... we really need a new topic in this thread.

So... favorite Poland solo? Marty? Al?

[Lord Abortion]

meh I don't know much about guitaristry my fave solos are poland ones
the way they do the drum / guitar solo thing on hangar 18 is great (at end)
just learned that on my drums...

[jaymz_is_god]

I love the Holy Wars solo.

[MoX_KIll]

best song IMO is 99 ways to die or Wake up dead

[MAthiAS]

I love the Holy Wars solo.
There's um, 4 solos in that song.

Holy Wars is definitely my favorite Dave solo, and Marty's clean one is awesome too. Marty's solos are best in Five Magics and Tornado of Souls though.

[willis2441]

my favorite song from megadeth would be peace sells,but i havent heard many of their songs,could you guys recomend me some good albums from them?i know rust in peace is good.

[MAthiAS]

Peace Sells is a good album, Rust in Peace is their best, Killing is my Business is their thrashiest and also very good, Countdown to Extinction is great, but with less of the emphasis on thrash/speed and more just good heavy metal. I'd recamend those first, if you like those, then check out So Far So Good So What if you like the thrashy ones, and Youthanasia, Cryptic Writings, and The System Has Failed if you prefer their more straight metal stuff.

[Reidie86]

Yeah... we really need a new topic in this thread.

So... favorite Poland solo? Marty? Al?

best solos

dave: holy wars, hanger 18
chris: good mourning / black friday
marty: tornado of souls, symphony of destruction.....all his solos are awsome from rip and cte
al: dread and the fugative mind

[willis2441]

I learned the Symphony of Destruction solo. It's super fun to play.

What solo's can you guys play? So far I can only do Symphony because I haven't really tried anything else.

[ArcLite]

I can play Holy Wars top to bottom...no I can't. I actually can play a few off of Peace Sells. Wake Up Dead is a fun one.

[Reidie86]

i play "at tout le monde" and "peace sells" with my band, the solos in those two arnt too hard at all.

i didnt put sysmphony's solo as one of martys best cos its hard, i just really like it, imo it fits the song perfectly

[jaymz_is_god]

I saw Megadeth live last night, it was bloody awesome!

Tell me about it, I seen them last week. Unbelievable.

[shadow_stalker]

best song IMO is 99 ways to die or Wake up dead

im gonna make a short film called 99 ways to die :thumb:

it will be full of blood and it will have that song on

[shadow_stalker]

Yeah I know. Dave's vocals really have to grow on you, especially songs like Sweating Bullets. Kind of like how CoB's vocals have to grow on you.

Die dead enough was what really won megadeth over for me, that song is briliant :thumb:

[MAthiAS]

Die dead enough was what really won megadeth over for me, that song is briliant :thumb:
I personally don't like that song that much. Its a good song, but I just prefer the other songs off of TSHF. Good soloing in that song though, not too flashy, but good phrasing and it just clicks with me.

As far as solos/songs I can play, I can do Holy Wars with everything minus the clean solo. Haven't really looked at it, I don't know if its hard or what. I can play about half of the solos in Hangar 18, some of Marty's are insane though. And I can do Tornado of Souls, very fun to play, and a cool little solo. Oh yeah, and Sweating Bullets, easy solo but its a fun one to play with my band.

[Jesus Macaroni]

Hey...I am new to Megadeath and like to get into their music... What should I start with ?

[jaymz_is_god]

Hey...I am new to Megadeath and like to get into their music... What should I start with ?

Start with Peace Sells and Rust In Peace.

[IAJP]

Yeah, I think countdown to extinction is a really underated album :)

[shadow_stalker]

I personally don't like that song that much. Its a good song, but I just prefer the other songs off of TSHF. Good soloing in that song though, not too flashy, but good phrasing and it just clicks with me.

die dead enough is the only song i can remember hearing off 'tshf'

i think it's one of megadeth's best songs (in my god-like opinion)

[munky_magik]

Yeah, I think countdown to extinction is a really underated album :)
That depends.
Lot's of people are fixated on Megadeth's thrash sound so will always hold the trash albums over the other albums, which is a shame because they're all really good.

[MAthiAS]

Start with Peace Sells and Rust In Peace.
Yep.

Yeah, I think countdown to extinction is a really underated album
Even though I haven't actually picked up Cryptic Writings yet, I've heard a bunch of the songs and they really are good. She Wolf is awesome, as is Trust.

Is The World Needs a Hero worth buying? Dread and the Fugitive Mind is a great song, and I like Return to Hangar a lot too.

Those albums seem more underrated to me. CTE is sometimes dismissed because its not a thrash album. I think its great, its still got thrash elements, and some great songwriting.

die dead enough is the only song i can remember hearing off 'tshf'
Blackmail the Universe? Kick the Chair? Back in the Day? Those are my favorites off of TSHF. Also the thrashiest songs off of it. The Scorpion is pretty good too (it was amazing live, not as good on the album), and Truth Be Told is good too.

[munky_magik]

Cryptic Writings is brillant, but a big departure from their typical sound.
TWNAH is pretty much a straight up metal album, probably bears most resemblance to TSHF. It's worth picking up.

[shadow_stalker]

Blackmail the Universe? Kick the Chair? Back in the Day? Those are my favorites off of TSHF. Also the thrashiest songs off of it. The Scorpion is pretty good too (it was amazing live, not as good on the album), and Truth Be Told is good too.

[jaymz_is_god]

die dead enough is the only song i can remember hearing off 'tshf'

i think it's one of megadeth's best songs (in my god-like opinion)

I like Die Dead Enough but my favourites off The System Has Failed are Blackmail The Universe, The Scorpion and Back In The Day.

[MAthiAS]

I like Die Dead Enough but my favourites off The System Has Failed are Blackmail The Universe, The Scorpion and Back In The Day.
Yeah those are great. Back in the Day was really awesome live, with Exodus singing along. I wish they played Blackmail the Universe at my show...

[jaymz_is_god]

Yeah those are great. Back in the Day was really awesome live, with Exodus singing along. I wish they played Blackmail the Universe at my show...

In Belfast they opened with Blackmail The Universe and for Back In The Day they had Diamond Head singing.

[RiceMonster]

Yeah, I think countdown to extinction is a really underated album :)
I have it, I think its a not bad album. Symphony of Destruction is my favourite song off the album.

[AB/CD]

the demo of symphony is much better than what was put on the album

[MAthiAS]

Symphony is a good song, but IMO its kind of overrated. I prefer say, Foreclosure or High Speed Dirt or Captive Honor or Ashes in your Mouth off of CTE.

[ArcLite]

Symphony is good, but not great. But I owe that song something special. Since its the only Megadeth song ever on the radio where I'm from it was the first song of theirs I heard. It was my gateway song into my love of Megadeth. The rest of the album isn't bad either.

[vashts80]

Ashes in Your Mouth (Rude Awakening) > Ashes in Your Mouth (CTE)

IMO.

TSHF is probably their best album since Youth...I liked some of the songs on Cryptic, but the majority of CW didn't appeal to me, really.

[MAthiAS]

Really? I've never heard any Megadeth on any radio. Lucky if I see a video once in a while on Headbangers Ball.

[Freezing Moon]

the demo of symphony is much better than what was put on the album

I want to hear the demo then.

My favorite song off of CDtE is probably Ashes in Your Mouth, or Symphony of Destruction (for the solo, mainly).

[Reidie86]

i like arcatecture of agression and captive hounor too

i hate how they play symphony of destruction on rude awakening, it looses all of its groove

[Freezing Moon]

i like arcatecture of agression and captive hounor too

I pretty much like all of Countdown. I don't think there is a very "weak" song on it. They're all pretty good.

[Lord Abortion]

That depends.

I am the opposite
RIP and CTE are alot better than peace sells and possibly their worst album
so far, so good, so what? which is very overrated

[ArcLite]

I love them all and have nothing against their supposed sellout albums. I love Youthanasia and Cryptic Writings as much as I do RIP and Peace Sells.

So Far, So Good....So What? it perhaps the most underrated of Megadeth albums! I can't name one bad song on the thing. I suppose it's opinion, but you think that's their worst album? Jesus...what about Risk and The World Needs A Hero.

actually I havn't heard risk or TWNAH so I can't really pass judgement
I just think that from the Megadeth albums I have heard... all except those two and cryptic writings I think that is the worst I have... that's all

Anyone go to the Astoria gigs? Cheers to Dave for putting on such a great show, something I'll never forget - an excellent performance from all involved (including Diamond Head). And get this, two mates got VIP tickets to meet Mustaine! Bastards, though they did deserve it (one has 26 Megadeth CDs and every vinyl pressing the world has to offer).

nah... went to Glasgow

was brilliant right at the front
dry retched through the break before holy wars due to dehydration...
'deth were amazing
sweating bullets was the best!

[Locks]

I 've got big bastard bruises from the barrier at the front, and a fuzzy sound in my ears......**** tiny venues. I loved Tornado Of Souls&Darkest Hour, and finishing off the 2 hour set with Holy Wars!

I thrashed like a bastard through tornado... that was great

[Locks]

Hangar 18 was good too (I'm a big RIP fan). Not forgetting A Tout Le Monde, and of course Peace Sells (my voice is so hoarse from singing along that you can't hear me when I answer the phone).

[Lord Abortion]

Some words on last night
I was 2 rows from the front near the PA right - centre and my ears are still ringing.
Megadeth were incredible!
highlights included the huge sing- alongs that were a tout le monde and sweating bullets, the cheer that greeted the latter was magnificent...
unfortunately there were some feedback problems on Dave's mike which made some lyrics sound odd at the start...
the best songs were sweating bullets, hangar 18, holy wars, tornado of souls,wake up dead, skin o my teeth, the scorpion ...well they were all bloody amazing
in a tiny venue the atmosphere was brilliant and We went away deafened and happy at the electric performance by Dave and the band
Diamond head supported and were fantastic too ...
For a support band to get a sing along is unusual and at least three is wierd, but we all knew the words to am I evil?, it's electric and blown to pieces...
they later joined 'deth onstage for backing vocals in the superb rendition of Back in the day.
all in all that was an incredible gig and long may they continue!

Cheers. I take it your night with Megadeth was as good as mine.

[Arise II]

Where you seeing them? Wherever it is it'll ****ing hurt they play a 2 hour set of full up your *** metal.

[Burdcheese]

Saw them last night... my ears are still ringing, but what did I expect?

In a word: Incredible

Diamond Head were also excellent. I hadn't heard any of their stuff outside of the Metallica covers, but I fully intend to check out some of their CDs now

Having finally seen him in real life, I've decided that Some Kind of Monster really shows Dave in a poor light... he's an awesome guy.


Just a pity this is their last tour :(

Copenhagen. I wanted to see them in Stockholm, but the trip there is too long and too expensive

[shadow_stalker]

ARGH! the system has failed won't work on my computer :angry:

does it work on anyone else's?

[munky_magik]

I ripped it to mine with no difficulties.

[shadow_stalker]

damn i'll have to try again then

thanks

[MAthiAS]

this is their last tour??
Maybe. Dave has said he'd like to do more touring in the US, so its up in the air right now. I heard him talk about a tour with Anthrax, Testament, and Exodus. That would be just... incredible.

Last night I had a dream that I met Dave. He was walking down the street and I was in the car with my parents and I was like "Holy **** pull over its Dave Mustaine!" so we stop and he's like, "Hey can you guys give me a ride?" and I'm like "Well we're going to the airport..." and he's like "Okay cool whatever." And then we just talked about the tour and music and it was just an awesome and surprisingly realistic dream. Then at the airport he cut his hair, which I wasn't too happy about, and then I woke up.

[shadow_stalker]

thats an odd dream, but it beats one that one of my friends had.


*will tell it to make poeple laugh* (this was not me)

one of my friends had a dream that he was on stage playing songs with...wait for it...Linkin park!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Wow. Creepy fanboy ++ ;)

Yeah, one time I dreamt that I won that contest where you send a song in to Dave and he picks the ones he likes and you win a Mustaine signature V, but he delivered it personally and stuck around and we jammed for like a day.

who was that???

[vashts80]

Mmm...in the Philly bootleg that I have, Shawn's drumkit is up on a cage-type thing...anybody know if there's any specific reason for that? I know that the drums are usually raised a bit off the stage, but the cage looks like it's a good 3 feet off the stage.

[MAthiAS]

Hey, I was at that show. I don't think there's a real reason for it, other than it looks freaking cool.

[MoX_KIll]

****ING ROCK!

So I saw Megadeth two days ago... What can I say, it was awesome!

First, Diamond Head took the stage, with some new (and pretty uninteresting) guy singing. However, hearing "The Prince" and "Am I Evil" plyed live is defenitely a ****ing event to remember. They played for about and hour (maybe a little less), and they were pretty good overall. Not great, but def. better than most (their lead guitarist looked like he was 200 ****ing years old, but that guy good really ****ing play. I met up with him after the show and briefly talked about playing and techniques n' stuff)

Then, after a short break, some roadies came onstage (including quite possibly the fattest man I've ever seen :D) to unwrap the amps and gear, including one of the prettiest, coolest, shiniest drum cages ever built.


And then... Megadeth came onstage! Cheers and roars around the house, and then they kicked in with "Blackmail The Universe", which at the end, as a very pleasent surprise, faded into my favorite Megadeth tune of all time, "Set The World Afire". \m/ :)

About five songs into the set, Dave steps up to the mic, and goes: Three years ago, a doctor said I would never play again. Then he raises his leftie into the air and goes "Whaddya think?!" (More roars and cheers from the crowd, of course :))

They played a pretty **** good set, with only two crap songs, and they even managed to get those to sound ****ing awesome.



Anyways, some highlights:

They start to play "Sweating Bullets", and Dave goes (to the crowd): Sing it! And after about two lines, it all turns into one giant mumbling, cuz nobody knows the lyrics (neither did I, I've always hated that song). And it all dies, and Dave goes: .... Man, that sucks! I'll do it... It was ****ing hilarious :D

James' (Bass player) covering Paganini's 24th (I think) and Bach in his bass solo (which was really cool)

Dave dedicating "Of Mice And Men" to Dimebag, a really beautiful gesture, and also the one time during the night when the crowd chanted something other then "MEGA-DETH" (IE, they chanted DIME-BAG instead :D )

Actually hearing Holy Wars live was also pretty ****ing cool. To bad Shawn ****ed up the solo. :angry: He's a good guitars, just really not all that innovative on his own.

They had these smaller speakers along the edge of the stage. And Dave had taped his setlist to the top of one. Then, in the midde of a song, the fat roadie comes out and turns them over (thy were sitting up straight, and heturned them over on their broad side so that the crowd could see more) SO during the next song, you saw this skinny roadie guy running out onstage, quickly taping aanother list on the floor next to Dave, and then very quickly runnig backstage again

It was also very cool when Diamond Head came up onstage in the middle of the show and started to sing along with 'Deth. Of course, nowhere near the ****ing noise that came out when the entire ****ing room was singing along/doing some beer-induced chanting during the chorus to "Peace Sells" :D

In the end, the show was a ****ing blast, and except for the low volume on Dave's mic, the band sounded and played great. The only sad thing was that when the show was over, Dave came back onstage and thanked everybody for coming, and then proceeded to let us know that this is the last Megadeth tour. Kinda sux, but oh well, at least I got a cool shirt with me home :D

Sounds like a hell of time. Wish I had gotten to see them.
