The Chosen Ones is great, and probably my favourite of KIMB.

NP: Blind Guardian - Majesty.

best BG song by [i]far[/i], the solo sounds a hell of alot like Tornado Of Souls :cool:

Is Blind Guardian anything special? The only power metal ive heard was HammerFall.
I mean it's fun and puts you in a good mood with all the choruses and nice melodies but nothing special, you know what I mean?

Try Rhapsody, dragonforce and Sonata Arctica.

Yeah, Hammerfall aren't anything special...middle of the road PM.

[QUOTE=heavy metal kid]did Megadeth really signed on RR? I haven't seen anything on RR page or Megadeth.com.[/QUOTE]

that was my source ... not very reliable.. but still.

Kinda confusing why it's not on the main site then.

Maybe Dave doesn't want it to be put up until he announces it himself. I would 100% bet that is why it's not there.

Yeah, it would be that, I think.

There's nothing on the Megadeth site.

Maybe it's a lie...

If you are a member of the forums, you know that he likes to keeps the fans waiting in suspense. He will probably announce it on the Megadeth forums before he does anywhere else. People were making threads about the Roadrunner rumours and the System Lords were deleting them. There has been no other rumur of another label. I would say the Roadrunner deal is legit. We'll all see in due time anyway. I'm almost more concerned about Gigantour!

I think it's a give-away if they're deleting the threads then.

The Megadeth signing to Roadrunner is now official, check the Megadeth Site. And Daves finalizing the G2 lineup so it shouldn't be long now before we know what bands are on the list. I think Dragonforce will probably be cause they are no longer going to be playing on the "sounds of the underground" tour.

For Immediate Release

ROADRUNNER RECORDS SIGNS MEGADETH

New York , NY - Roadrunner Records is proud to announce the signing of Megadeth. Already known as one of rock's most forward-thinking bands, Megadeth and its frontman Dave Mustaine have cast a long shadow on the metal and hard rock landscape with millions of records sold worldwide and an undeniable influence echoed in scores of young bands today.

"We are proud to be working with one of the chief architects of modern hard rock and metal: Dave Mustaine. Megadeth and Roadrunner have led parallel careers on the cutting edge of metal for years now. The combination of the two is bound to be lethal," says A&R man, Mike Gitter.

Mustaine says of his new home "It is exciting to be some place you are respected, understood and appreciated. The truth is there's a lot of people I've known there over the years. I'm stoked we're all coming back together again to work on this project."

Megadeth has begun work on its as-yet-untitled Roadrunner debut under the watchful eye of Mustaine and co-producer Jeff Balding (who helmed 2004's The System Has Failed) .

Mustaine is presently finalizing the lineup for Megadeth's Gigantour 2 festival tour of the US .

I wonder how many albums they signed up for.
I can't see Megadeth doing another 8 albums.

I think we are near the end ... I cant see megadeth past more than two albums.

so what's everyone actually think of the roadrunner deal? roadrunner seems to have several bad bands, i hope they don't influence megadeth too much.

Imagine Dave on the next roadrunner united...

Opeth got signed to them and they didn't change their music.

I doubt megadeth will change ... If they do then i will be very dissapointed.

Roadrunner wont change Megadeth. Dave Mustaine would eat them first.

Haha, Huber that actually made me laugh. Here is what Shawn Drover said about the deal in his very recent post:

"So now it is official, we have signed with Roadrunner Records, which for me personally is something that I am very happy about!! These guys specialize in Metal bands, and have done so for over 25 years now, so with that said I believe this will be a long and solid relationship between Megadeth and Roadrunner."

I don't think there are going to be any problems, and the promotion for Megadeth's new album will help them a lot!

I doubt a label would change the music they make. The only time Dave changed music for others were when Marty and Nick wanted to make risk more alternative.

i can! \m/

[QUOTE=Huber]Roadrunner wont change Megadeth. Dave Mustaine would eat them first.[/QUOTE]
absolutely. Mustaine is to stubborn to [I]be [/I]influenced. which is a quality.

Well, I think he was a little influenced by Lars when it came to Risk. The man is not perfect, but I agree with your statement for the most part and I do admire him for it.

How did Lars influence Risk?

I think Risk was influenced by the band itself, Marty Friedman was searching for "this" new sound, he got bored of metal.

So I have this strange feeling about MD and RR records, i just hope none of the bands of the label make it to Gigantour, except Opeth and Machine Head.

lol

Yeah, I am more concerned about Dave's choices for Gigantour 2 being effected by the new label, not the quality of his music.

Hmm. I never thought about that. It'll be interesting to see if RR influence Gigantour at all.

[QUOTE=Flower Dance]How did Lars influence Risk?[/QUOTE]

Lars said in an interview around that time period that Megadeth is a good band, but they don't take any risks. The rest is history.

Friedman influenced it even more, but Dave's obsession with Metallica and his desire to prove Lars wrong in this situation still shines through as part of Risk's foundation.

*cough*DragonForce*cough*

Yeah they do have some crap bands like Opeth and some of those emo/Hot Topic related bands.
