But most of the great songs are written just by him.

Not necesarily, Dave Ellefson wrote some of Tornado Of Souls and Lucretia. The entire band wrote Ashes In Your Mouth, and the entire band wrote all of Youthanasia.

Like with most bands, there was a main songwriter, that was Dave in Megadeth. But the other members did contribute to the writing process.

What does anyone think what would have happened if any one of the line-ups stayed together for the entire duration of the band? (For example, Dave, Jr., Marty, and Nick from KIMB to TSHF).

It would have started with the best metal band ever and ended with some crazy pop-metal poser band.

Yeah, probably.

Better question, what if Dimebag and Vinnie had joined up instead of Marty and Nick when they were asked?

That would've been weird, I like dimebag, but He doesn't seem to fit megadeth. I don't think I would like it as much as marty and nick.

Me either... because I don't really like Pantera much outside of CFH.

[QUOTE=MAthiAS]Yeah, probably.

I don't know, I think you'd get RIP at half the speed with a million harmonics, nothing wrong with Pantera but I <3 RIP.

I prefer Vinnie's Drumming, but Dime's shred style would have been in total contrast with Marty or Chris. To be honest, I think it would have been cool, with the two entirely different tones and styles with the guitars.

Also, Dime is synonymous with Drop D in my mind. Wonder how that would have worked out.

:smash:

Pantera rule, but RIP is one of my all time favourite albums, and i couldn't imagine it any other way.

N.P. Holy Wars \m/ :cool: \m/

I prefer Menza over Vinnie Paul. I don't think people realize how good Menza was during Rust.

Same here, Menza's probably my favourite drummer.

The intro to rust in peace is awesome :thumb:

So any suggestions for the new thread name?

My vote is Thread 18.

So Far So Good So What?
NO wait
Into the lungs of hell?

We should call it Hangar 18, nobody really knows what goes on in here.

[QUOTE=Byzantine]My vote is Thread 18.[/QUOTE]
Also good.

yeah^^^

[QUOTE=Byzantine]So any suggestions for the new thread name?

My vote is Thread 18.[/QUOTE]
No one would know that it was a Megadeth thread though. It should be Shadow of Deth or something like that, or something a little more obvious.

They would just have to read the first page of the thread and it would be fairly obvious what the thread was about.

The thread name for Megadeth could be: "The Arsenal of Megadeth"

Can someone upload Mechanix? I've heard its way better than The Four Horsemen, and I'd like to compare.

5 days til I get to see Megadeth!! I'm so stoked!!! Anyone else here goingto Gigantour in Calgary, AB?

Thread 18 would definitely be the best thread name. If people haven't heard Hangar 18, they shouldn't even be in the thread anyway, so its perfect.

Then if it gets closed, we can have 'Return to Thread' :D

My vote is either Thread 18 or Hangar 18.

MAthias: :lol:

So should I ask to get the thread name changed to Thread 18?

[QUOTE=MAthiAS]Yeah, probably.

As far as i remember Dave only wanted Dime and Dime wouldnt join unless vinnie was allowed too as well so it didnt work out.

I can't imagine Dime and Vinnie on RIP. It just wouldn't work. I could imagine them on something like Countdown though...

Yeah, because Dave had already hired Nick.

Same... I can't imagine Dime playing a thrash album.
