[QUOTE=Themadhatter]Ehh kinda. But I'd venture to say their still higher than most metal bands would like them to be.[/QUOTE]

Well yea more than these piece of crap "metalcore" bands.

I can get a great Youthanasia-like tone from my 5150 with the mids at 2-3 suprisingly.

I read an interview and Mustaine said he always plays with high mids, so who knows.

Hi everyone, been a while since I posted in here.

Rust In Peace certainly sounds like high mids.

Yeah, he's got a middy tone without too much bass. I usually prefer it that way, so you can distinguish the bass, but the bass is buried pretty deep in most of their songs.

Just because I'm so excited right now: I just ordered my DV8-R. A nice silver one. WOOOT! God I'm stoked.

Cool, I've thought about getting an ESP one for a while now... though I think I'm going to get a Carvin now.

I was thinking about getting a Black DV8 but I decided to save up for a KE3

Has anyone tried out the new axxion guitar? It looks really cool but I want to know if it plays as good as it looks. (unlike bc rich warlocks)

I was thinkin about buying a DV8 until I played a Dean Custom 450.

Best 600 bucks I ever spent :D

I bought a line 6 spider II new and I had a chance to get a huge carvin amp for the same price ($299) used. I'm thinking I might've made a bad choice but then again maybe not. Anyways, has anyone seen a DV8 with a floyd rose? I want the DV8 badly but I can't stand fixed bridges. (I guess I'm just too bar happy.)

There is no DV8 with a Floyd. Closest you could come would be a KV2 or a used KV4.

I think you should've gone with the Carvin... because I'm very disappointed with my Spider II. Way too bassy, with any EQ really. Very muddy.

I hear the Axxion plays really nice, and I've heard its got the best high fret access of pretty much any guitar out there. Though I haven't played one. Or a DV8-R for that matter.

Spider II's are decent if you have cab in my opinion. The combos arent all that good by themselves.

did anybody know that dave mustaine might be leaving megadeth?

[QUOTE=needmymetallica]did anybody know that dave mustaine might be leaving megadeth?[/QUOTE]
Yes we all knew that. I think he'll keep going with Megadeth for at least Gigantour 2.

While we're on the subject of guitars, I might be getting a Jackson JS30KV in about 10 hours. Anybody have experience with this guitar?

[QUOTE=needmymetallica]did anybody know that dave mustaine might be leaving megadeth?[/QUOTE]

he will decide on October 9th, i think.

[QUOTE=clairvoyant]Spider II's are decent if you have cab in my opinion. The combos arent all that good by themselves.[/QUOTE]

I'm thinking of getting the combo. Are you sure that it's not all that great?

[QUOTE=RNR]I'm thinking of getting the combo. Are you sure that it's not all that great?[/QUOTE]

Its average. You'd be better off with a Randall SS if you are gonna go solid state.

But who knows you might like the Spider II. Try it out somewhere.

Well, yeah. For $600-700 i'd expect it to be average.

For 600-700 bucks you could also try and find a used tube combo amp.

You could do much better for 600-700. I don't know where you got that number from though, the 212 is 500. You could always buy my 210 if you like Spiders...

No, but its pretty low end. Probably not really worth it, depending your reasons for buying it. I'd at least get the KVX10, but your best bet for an affordable V is the DV8-R.

I have no idea which ones are which. The one I've played was a fairly big and $650 or so.

Anyways, what would you guys suggest for my next Megadeth album? I have Rust in Peace and Peace Sells.

Get Countdown To Extinction.

We have a winner.

how do you roll your finger when you sweep?

I thought this would be the best place to ask because I'm trying to learn the hangar 18 solo where you have to roll your finger. So how do you roll your finger?

I do it slightley sideways

Its easiest with your second finger. I'll give you some more tips later, but I'm late for school right now.

*Hopes he'll carry on*

For all you Megadeth fans :evil:

I was browsing Amazon Music, I just wanted to see if there was any Megadeth I didn't have (My sister bought me Cryptic Writings tonight, much love :)), I have all Megadeth CDs I want (There are a few like Hidden Treasures and the Best ofs I'm not interested in), anyway, I came across [url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00000JWS5/qid=1128100544/sr=1-29/ref=sr_1_29/104-6550937-6119904?v=glance&s=music]this[/url] and was wondering if anyone in here has heard about it, or even heard it? And if so, is it worth the money? It sounds interesting to me, but then again.. I thought St. Anger [b]sounded[/b] interesting :upset:

Interesting... Never seen it before.

I wouldn't buy it.

holy jeebus. Listen to the sample of Take No Prisoners :eek:

I was looking to dl it from TorrentSpy, but no luck :upset:

It's kinda 4:03am here (Yeah, insomnia, I think.. I work late and early so don't get alot of sleep anyway) and my parents room is right behind the computer room (I have a computer in my room, but it's closer to food here :p), I have no sound, can't listen to the samples, but yeah, if anyone here does run into it somehow * :p *
I wouldn't mind... Listening to it :cool:

It's like a death metal version of Megadeth, I'll look for it on Ares.

yeah, I read the reviews on Amazon (They were saying how bad Death Metal vocals are :o), and it did sound cool, I've always wondered what Megadeth would sound like with some Death Metal Growls...

I was going to ask my mate's band to cover Holy Wars just so I could hear what it sounded like, but I'm very lazy :p

Death metal blows in my opinion. I just don't see whats so good about it.

It's just another way of expression, like rap or emo is to other people.
Not everyone [b]has[/b] to like it, some people do, others don't.

Some of the vocals work in the samples and some of them are just terrible.

[QUOTE=clairvoyant]Death metal blows in my opinion. I just don't see whats so good about it.[/QUOTE]


It has some really interesting guitar in it. I've tried learning Cannibal Corpse's Hammer Smashed Face and Stripped, Raped, and Strangled. They have some great sounding and catchy riffs in them. George Fisher's voice is much like Dave Mustaines in the sense that they are an acquired taste. At first I didn't like either, now after listening to them for a while they both rock.
