My guess for the Holy Wars demo is sometime in '89. Menza was already in, but Dave hadn't found Marty yet, so I'm guessing it was early-mid '89. I honestly like the Poland "synthish" solos better than the recorded Friedman solos, I just think the tone is insanely awesome.

has anyone got the new DVD - Arsenal of Megadeth yet?

I haven't got it yet. I've seen it in stores though.

Nooo.
I keep meaning to get it but I always forget.

[QUOTE=Five Magics]has anyone got the new DVD - Arsenal of Megadeth yet?[/QUOTE]
am thinking about getting it but i always buy somthing else with my money...

I don't really want to much...it's not like it's a full concert.

I always feel with DVDs like I would be better off with an album. I never really watch them often.

Im going to get the DVD as soon as I get Maiden's Death on the Road which I have been meaning to get for awhile now.


Whats on the Megadeth DVD if its not a full concert?

I'm the same way. I've had the Rude Awakening DVD for almost a year, and I've only watched once.

That seems pretty cool.

I think I might get it.
It has more tracks than the DVD I believe.

Once again, this is my favorite Megadeth song.

i find the riffs on RIP somewhat erratic. i love it! it is indeed a great song, but IMO not their best.

Oh no, I know it may not be their most complex song or song that takes a lot of skill, but I'm just hooked on that song right now. I'll probably go back to Hangar 18 as my all-time favorite. It usually always does.

yea yea lol, i like hangar 18, but if there was a great [I]album[/I], it would be KIMB. i LOVE every song on there. i like every deth song, but there are also many that i love.

Holy Wars is a firm favourite for me.

I quite like Sweating Bullets too although a lot of people don't.

I like it. The video is pretty cool too.

I am sort of new to megadeth anyone wanna suggest some starting points, good songs, what cds to buy first etc...

Definitely get Rust in Peace. You'll be blown away.

[QUOTE=chorbalan]I am sort of new to megadeth anyone wanna suggest some starting points, good songs, what cds to buy first etc...[/QUOTE]
Check out Greatest Hits: Back to the Start, then go for Rust in Peace

[QUOTE=chorbalan]I am sort of new to megadeth anyone wanna suggest some starting points, good songs, what cds to buy first etc...[/QUOTE]

To get into them I'd try countdown to extinction or peace sells. Probably countdown to extinction because by alot of people it's considered there best album, and if you like them after that try Rust in Peace a truly amazing album. Some individual songs:

Symphony of Destruction
Countdown to extinction
Psychotron
Peace sells... but who's buyin?
The conjuring
Holy Wars... The punishment due
Five magics
Tornado of souls
The system has failed
A tout le monde (for a lighter side)

Seems to me like Rust in Peace is the overall favourite album around here?

Pretty much between RIP/Peace Sells round here.

[QUOTE=Flower Dance]Pretty much between RIP/Peace Sells round here.[/QUOTE]

Yeah but I think people gettin into them should get CtE cuz it's kind of their most 'mainstream', for lack of a better word, album.

I am listening to the songs Warlockwanter suggested and I gotta say it's descent enough, not a fan of the vocals but he IS a great guitar player.

The vocals should grow on you, they did with me.

Probably that's what happened with Anthrax.

Just as I read this, Rust in Peace.. Polaris comes on :o

'Tis indeed a great song, although I think the demo version (If you have Rust in Peace Remastered) is better then the CD version, the drums are more interesting imo.

P.S. Dave's vocals are so good :smoke:

Hey hey hey! Someone that agrees with me. I have both remastered and original, and I actually like his vocals on the remastered better too (for RIP...Polaris).

Yup, Mustaine and Araya are my top 2 favorite vocalists.

eww... i hate araya and slayer in general for that matter. Sry butcher :p

I hate people from Florida. Sorry man.

lol

It's the senior citizen retirement capitol of America. Like Seinfeld said, once old people retire, they have to move to Florida. It's the law.

Obituary, Morbid Angel etc etc are from Florida.

win

Pfft, those bands suck. America should just give Florida back to Spain.

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]Obituary, Morbid Angel etc etc are from Florida.

arent a bunch of death metal bands from florida. i know that six feet under hate eternal and deicide are from there. what others are?
