[QUOTE=lightningmetal666]Yep, he wants to leave his rockin' band and rejoin with a band that can't touch his current one. How very sad indeed.......[/QUOTE]

I'm sure that's why they have sold 10 -15 times more records then Megadeth...and a band that is a whole lot more entertaining live as well...but if you;ve seen the Some Kind of Monster DVD Mustaine said he wish they would have sent him into rehab so he could still be in the band

The way it turned out was still probably for the best. I think Hammett was a better choice for Metallica, though I often think about what might of happened had he stayed with Exodus. :[COLOR="Black"]p[/COLOR]onder:

New guitarists, I believe, often bring bands to new levels. Imagine Megadeth without Friedman, no wonderful Holy Wars, or Hangar 18 solos. However, without Poland there would be no Good Mourning/Black Friday or Peace Sells.

Still, all subjective opinion.

Make that double quoted for truth.



Thanks for pointing that out.

Chris Polands tone is heavenly, don't you think?
*drools*

Yeah, I mean, Peace sells is all you need to say. But I think overall I prefer friedman as a guitarist and writer.

Imagine Friedman with Polands tone...

*comes in pants* <_<

Haha, and then add mustaine's writing ability.

[QUOTE=random dave]Haha, and then add mustaine's writing ability.[/QUOTE]
Mustaines writing ability?! He's above average but not extraordinary.

I'd say he was better than friedman, just a really crappy guitarist.

:lol: You're kidding right?! Mustaine know something like two scales! I mean, don't get me wrong, he's a great rythm and lead guitar player but his stuff is fairly basic.

Well whether he only knew to scales or not, if I were asked too listen to speed metal symphony or Holy wars, itd be 'brother will kill brother' every time.

It's irrelevent. Friedman has better writing skills and it shows in his work. I'm not going to bring up who is a 'better' player but Mustaine is certainly not a 'really crappy guitarist.'

Ok, really crappy guitarist is a large overstatement, but if you look at any solos, friedman's are always more complex and technical than mustaine's, but its mustaine who writes them.

MUSTAINE DOES NOT WRITE FRIEDMANS SOLOS! You sir, are largely misinformed. Last time I checked Marty wrote his own parts.

Dave is a well rounded guitarist he can do almost everything. Friedman can do rhythmn but his soloing ability is way better.while dave can do everything

Can Dave fly?
No

But still I like the way Marty comes up with his own scales to fit the songs which he bases the solos on.

Friedman wasn't around while Dave was writing all of rust in peace, it was only when they went to record that they replaced poland with friedman. Dave wrote pretty much all the solos in rust in peace which is, arguably, the best megadeth album by far.

I'm sorry but that's wrong. Listen to the demos and the solos are different. Friedman most definitely writes his own leads, I mean have you listened to Dragon's Kiss?

Thank you. Someone who knows what he's talking about. No offence random dave, but you are definately wrong on this one.

Oh right... well damn. Oh well, no hard feelings, eh? We're all megadeth fans around here anyway.

True, true...

:)

So, is there any chance of Poland recording some solos on the next album? Maybe Drover can dial in his tone? *drools* I love that tone...

Possibly, he came back for TSHF, so why not the new one? Too bad Marty doesn't want to do anything with Megadeth.

Yeah, i'm not a big fan of Drover. I mean, he's good and all but... he doesn't have a unique sound compared to Poland or Friedman IMO.

Yeah I wouldn't count out poland. Though he seems pretty busy lately.

Have you gotten to hear his leads on Lamb of God's Ashes of the Wake?

/drools

God that is pure talent. Hopefully if he does something on the next Megadeth album, it'll sound similar to that.

No he just did a lead for them on 1 song. Him and alex skolnick.

that song fu*king rocked!!!! I thought it was one of those blast as loud as you can kind of songs.

I guess I'll have to give it a listen, though I doubt I'll like it.

Lamb of God, and my ears don't like each other.

I admit that there are a couple songs on that album that I don't like but listen to the title track. Poland just owns on it.

Just listen to (the song) Ashes of the Wake. It's an instrumental and has Poland (and Skolnick?) in it.

Skolnick, Poland and Freidman went on tour. That would be an amazing show. Too much talent for one tour right there.

Just Skolnick would be too much talent!:p But I guess that's just my Testament fanboyism shining through.

NP: Sodom - Agent Orange

I like the Drover brothers, they bring a good feel and stability to the band

Do you really want stability? I don't want a stable lead guitarist for Megadeth!:p

dunno if you already noticed but if you listen to hangar 18, i think at 4:25 you can hear someone saying something or maybe laughing.

Nope, can't hear a thing. Sure you're not just imagining it?
