[QUOTE=Five Magics]A tad unfortunate? I was sooo ready to see menza with megadeth in toronto back in november, then i was disappointed when i heard the news even though the show turned out great. I think menza was one of the best metal drummers back during the RIP era/time, his work on that album is deadly[/QUOTE]
I agree, I wanted to see Menza when they came to Australia.

[QUOTE=MAthiAS]Victory is definitely in my top 5 Deth songs.

Man Five Magics has some insane solos, it'll take a couple weeks for this song to come together.[/QUOTE]
I guess we don't really have to do Five Magics. We can try something else. How about Set The World Afire?

^^^ OMFG, yeah, you HAVE to do Five Magics. That one, along with Set The World Afire, those are Deth's two best songs! :thumb:

I really think we should do Five Magics, its definitely one of their best. And I'm learning it anyway, its a good challenge.

goin to see em august 2nd in dallas texas. it'll be my first time and i'm excited as hell. can't wait to see if i'm playing all these parts the right way!

Haha, I just learnt Five Magics on bass quite badly :)

I'll keep practicing it though ;)

:smash:

did dave write the main riff for metallicas "leper messiah"?

I don't know, but he always bitches how it uses spider riffing.

Yeah, that would be a good song. Also, "Rust in Peace...Polaris" would be pretty awesome.

Heh, we should just do all of Rust in Peace.

I can probably start recording stuff starting this week. So if you want me to do any rhythm guitars then just tell me. :thumb:

You're welcome to do anything you know, someone's going to have to do the rhythms to all the solos because my comp won't let me overdub successfully :upset:

Ok, but if I did the solo rhythms our tone might sound completly different so it might sound like a weird transition.

What settings do you use on your amp?

As long as the settings are similar that wouldn't be a problem, I think it sounds cool when the guitars each have a slightly different tone.

Well, I'm learning Holy Wars at the moment. I've been learning it for a while, but haven't really paid too much attention to it. I'll try to finish it soon.

For anybody who knows it, I need some help. During the first electric solo, at about 3:34 in, there is a short descending run. Do you do the pull-off from the 22nd to the 18th fret, and then shift your hand down to the other part of the run?

[quote]What settings do you use on your amp?[/quote]
On my Line 6 its something like:
Bass - 6
Mids - 4
Treble - 6
Gain - 10
I don't remember exactly what I had the settings as though, but I know they were pretty flat like that.

Listening to it, I have no idea what you're talking about. The first solo is pretty much arpeggios, then a little lick, then the bends, then another arpeggio, then the octaves, and the last lick with the hammer-ons and pulloffs.

Oh, forget it. I figured it out :)
Hopefully tomorrow, I'll reach the insane solo. That one will take a little while.

I got my ticket for the Chicago date of Gigantour today, why isnt anyone comming to St.Louis this summer! hehe, oh well...no distance is to great for another Megadeth show...tis a shame Symphony X is only getting a short 25 minute set, im sure they will do a mean 3-4 songs in that time span lol.

They're playing 2 songs, I don't know what they are off by heart, but if you wanty to know I can dig them up.

I'm going to the Orlando show.

Dave's solo really isn't that tough, have fun with it.

And holy shi[b][i][/b][/i]t its Frail, you've been gone forever man!

^^^

indeed it has. I was getting sick of dealing with the newbs and wasnt getting anything out of being on here anymore...it was like i did all the work helping people and got nothing in return haha. well ill be back for now and see how it goes...

when i saw Megadeth in November, a guy threw a sweater at Dave during "kick the chair" and the audience (along with the rest of the band) really thought he was going to fight this guy lol.

Yeah, hopefully it shouldn't take me too long to learn. I love that solo.

probably is nothing notable, but i just nailed the whole basslines of My Last Words, with this song i complete the whole basslines of the Peace Sells... album.

Such a sick album, bass wise.
David Ellefson was the best bassist choice for Megadeth in my opinion, although I always thought he was lacking from RIP onwards...
