Does anyone know if Hidden Treasures is still available anywhere and what exactly it is?

[QUOTE=PoliticallyIncorrectMetalhead]My favorite is either The Scorpians of Kick the Chair bu Die Dead Enough is coming in quickly.[/QUOTE]

Heh, I like all the songs 'cept The Scorpion, Die Dead Enough and Tears In A Vial.

on the Megadeth homepage, it says "World Tour" and on the tour dates page it says "dates will be added/changed as time passes" :smoke: no reason to panic :thumb:

did anyone notice daves birthdya was on the 13th? he was 41 years old

[QUOTE=Arise]DON'T waste your money on Cryptic Writings, its one of the weakest rock albums ever released.

You should first buy all the albums from Kill Is mY Buisness through RIP, then Countdown To Extinction and The System Has Failed, and then, and only then, you should very cautiously take a peek at all the other albums, simply cuz they suck.

Pre-Youthanasia Megadeth > God
Youthanasia and later Megadeth = pure crap

Even Dave Mustaine himself claims this is the case[/QUOTE]

Youthanasia is a pretty solid album IMO... and TWNAH had some good songs too

[QUOTE=GraveRobbersINC]Does anyone know if Hidden Treasures is still available anywhere and what exactly it is?[/QUOTE]

I think the best way to get Hidden Treasures is to buy it through Amazon, because finding it in stores is next to impossible, not only that but they have discontinued it, as well. I got it used (but its in perfect condition) from amazon.ca for $14 Can (this already included shipping/handling/tax). You can try amazon.com if your from the states or elsewhere.

Hidden Treasures is an EP they released in 1995, that includes cover, soundtrack, and one-off songs. It is indeed a treasure!!!

Did Mustaine learn guitar on his own?

Yes Dave is self taught. He only recently took lessons after his arm got messed up.

[QUOTE=non-conformist]you like crypic writings better than peace sells?[/QUOTE]

yes i do, ive always felt peace sells is an over-priased album. i tried to pick an album from each style of music that Megadeth played...their early, mid, and later years...ive always thought that KIMBABIG was a more well rounded album than PSBWB.

[QUOTE=MAthiAS]Youthanasia is a pretty solid album IMO... and TWNAH had some good songs too[/QUOTE]

two of their best, ive always enjoyed Megadeth's 90's albums more (i know TWNAH was 02', you get the picture).

Jeese what are you smoking.
Peace sells is one of the greatest threash lp's of all time.

wat is a good album to get for someone who is just getting into megadeth

[QUOTE=AdžDÇ]wat is a good album to get for someone who is just getting into megadeth[/QUOTE]

Rust in peace, then, everything from the 80's

dose rustin peace have hangar 18 (awsome song) on it

i just reviewed 'The system has failed'

[url]http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4733050&posted=1[/url]

for all them who are undecided yet.

I agree that Peace Sells is over-rated, give me So Far, So Good, So What any day over that.

I disagree there, I feel the songs on SFSGSW! aren't as good as Dave's other ones and the production value is a little low. I'm with Peace Sells here.

[QUOTE=AdžDÇ]dose rustin peace have hangar 18 (awsome song) on it[/QUOTE]

yes, among 8 other awesome songs. :thumb:

I personally think that Peace Sells is indeed a bit overrated, and SFSGSW a bit underrated. (Although I still say RiP is their best work.) Both are still amazing albums, though. SFSGSW has such killers as Into the Lungs of Hell, Set the World Afire, Mary Jane, In My Darkest Hour, and Hook in Mouth.

ok, i must have seen this so many times, but is the last song "My Kingdom Come"? because on my CD it says "My Kingdom".

its My Kingdom im pretty sure, and i bought Hidden Treasures right from sam the record man in Toronto, pretty sure i got the last copy tho, and i also bought capitol punishment cause it was going out of print as well

[QUOTE=Mega_Dave]I disagree there, I feel the songs on SFSGSW! aren't as good as Dave's other ones and the production value is a little low. I'm with Peace Sells here.[/QUOTE]

SFSGSW is their weakest album of their olden days. Chuck Beyher just wasnt fit for the band IMO (espically meshed between Gar and Menza) and although its a great album its not the best example of the bands sound. I do wish Jeff Young got to do more with the band, he was a wicked lead player.

^^^yeah but I would rather have Marty, Poland, or Al Pitrelli over Jeff Young.

Ok, i just spent the time to read all ****in 22 pages of this thread (yeah i gotta lot of time, but its about Megadeth and i got my guitar by my side)... so i would like to respond.

First off, i guess I'm a "newbie" for Megadeth, only got into them for a year and i dont own many of they're albums (first one, COPY of Rust in Peace), but i've been praising them ever since and playing their **** on guitar the whole time among other things. They are freakin awesome...period!

The new album is good, although i was baffled a little listening to it the first time. Not too much thrash and the chours to Die Dead Enough kinda sounded funny (backround vocals sounded kinda pop-ish, but now its stuck in my head...lol). Kick the Chair got me into it and ive been exicted ever since...some weak points on it, but i need to listen more then once. I have to say though...the instrumental..."Shadow of Deth" sounds amazing...i wish they soloed over that i would have crapped my pants.

They are touring, and i must be there, as soon as there available...NYC...Megadeth, gonna be amazing...best of year probably (cept for BLS/Slayer/Priest/Sabbath at Ozzfest this year). I hope they do like Metallica and tour for like ever...come bakc again so i can go again (seeing Metallica twice on this tour of their's...they might have sold out but they put on amazing shows).

I personally cant figure out why people bash Youthanaisa...it ****ing rules...as soon as i head the opening riff to Reckoning Day...i knew the whole album was solid. Reckoning Day, Train of Consquense, Addicted to Chaos, A Tout le Monde, Killing Road, Youthanasia, Family Tree, I thought I knew it all, Black curtains, and Victory (for the solo esp) were all amazing. I practically learned the entire album on guitar after i heard it. It's not Rust in Peace, but its great none the less.

Rust in Peace...best album in my opinion...Holy Wars, Hanger 18, Tornado of souls, Rust in Peace...amazing (i only name those cause those are the only ones i know how to play :rolleyes: ). CTI also good and so is Youthanasia and the new release. I'll do the best i can to get some of the remasters that i dont have (probabaly buy em all) and then make a better judgement.

I agree to stop fighting about Metallica vs Megadeth. As much as i wanna say Metallica sucks for selling out and making Load-St.anger, the first 5 albums are AMAZING...to listen to and to play. And their concerts are amazing, seen 2 so far and id like to go to everyone in the area. So far, i havent head everything Megadeth, but if Rude Awakening is any indication, their show would be ****in amazing too. As far as im concerned, Metallica crapped out and sold out...but Hetfield is still one of the best music writers i know of...as so is Mustaine (Mustaine's lyrics are extremely well written i dont know how you can think otherwise). They both "matured" because of the music industry and environment...but i like TSHF much more then St Anger...Anger sounds too 'nu-metal' and i hate nu-metal (not to mention i play lead guitar and when your favorite band at the time lets you down with no lead after previously having some amazing solos, you tend to see the big picture as a guitar player and music fan, not as a metallica fan).

Lol...i guess thats enough for now, i type way to much if you havent realized yet :rolleyes: but whatever. Anyone know what kinda Set list we'd be getting on this tour...i hope its kinda like Rude Awakening plus a few songs off the new album.

i have decided that no matter what type of music you like.. if you buy rust in peace.. and actually spend time and listen to it... you will become a huge fan of megadeth.. its that good of an album

The setlist will probably be virtually the same as Rude Awakening minus a few songs from The World Needs A Hero. I'm just hoping that Megadeth come to Australia, cause if they don't I'll be majorly pissed off. I'd like to see more songs from So Far...So Good...So What? on the setlist, but I doubt it'll happen.

dave told a french magazine megadeth are [I]definately[/I] playing Good Mourning/Black friday (so he could prove to himself he could still play it), and then he mentioned a few other songs from the new album :smoke:

Sweet! Can't wait for the show, and for tixx to go on sale.

[quote]Victory (for the solo esp)[/quote]

da[b][i][/b][/i]mn straight, that solo pwns!

oh yeah, sorry for the double post, but anyone else check the Megadeth site forums, and notice that there's a total of ZERO posts EVER and there's always like 50 people viewing? Whats up with that?

You have to register to see the posts mate.

im thinking Dave will resurect some old songs he neglected in the past, much like Metallica have been doing these past two tours, and will put some of the "concert musts" like In my Darkest Hour, Hanger 18, etc...aside for a tour to allow space for some more obscure tracks. Ive seen Megadeth three times and some songs you just dont want to hear live 4 times when you havent heard your favourite song by them (in my case "99 ways to die") once so far. you get my point.

I Think that Megadeths best album would have to be Rust In Piece, Piece Sells...But Whos Buying

I really hope Megadeth do a tour but they NEVER COME TO AUSTRALIA! Grrrrrrrrrr

What are you on about? they went to Australia in 2001 for The World Needs A Hero tour.

megadeths finally god a a second guitarist. go to metal temple to find out more **** but from what i hear he ****in crushes. and im pretty sure hes gonna name the bass player soon but he mightve by the time someone reads this

^^^

he already did a few days ago. James McDongough (spelling?) who was in Iced Earth and at lead guitar he has Glenn Drover who was in King Diamond / Eidion who can fuking shred, trust me...check out King's "house of god" album to hear him. James is an excellent bassiest, i saw him in april and he was incredible, i cant wait to hear what they come up with!

I've given my guitarist friend it a few times. He doesn't like it that much. But yet I've listened to Mr.Bungle, FNM, Opeth, COB, Tool, and DT with him and he didn't like them either. :confused: :confused:

He would need to, to be able to play those Friedman solos.

[QUOTE=Armor O'Malley]He would need to, to be able to play those Friedman solos.[/QUOTE]

...yup...

Okay, I have a question. What's the story with Marty, I heard he did something like tried to sell out Megadeth or something, whats the deal there?

I don't know anything about Marty 'selling out' Megadeth... :confused:
