my opinion on the whole thing is that its already solo career cos david ellefson an a the others left then like nobody from the actual studio album of TSHF is on the tour apart from dave (obviously) so its already solo career plus he had to keep the name megadeth couldnt change it to dave mustaine for TSHF i remember him saying something about it in like November or something on bruce dickinsons rock show

I love five magics
megadeth in a power metal type lyrical theme??

Does anyone know why Dave hired Chris Poland to play lead in TSHF? Cus wasn't he pissed with him for stealing their instruments fro drug money? What made Dave change his mind to hire him

I guess he put that all aside because he needed a good guitarist and Marty Friedman didn't want to join.

Yeah, Friedman said no.

Yeah, after he somewhat based the lyrics of Liar on him, one wonders why Dave would want Chris Poland back. Because lets face it, those are some pretty nasty lyrics.

Dave has said that the only reason TSHF is a Megadeth album is because his contract made it to be or something, but that's the last one. But then he's also said "I wanted people to say that this last album was Megadeth's best" so I don't really know where he stands with it.

Well, I thought Chris Poland's leads were plain horrible. TSHF could have been a much better album than it is (don't get me wrong, I still like it a lot) if Chris put more effort into the leads.

i've always considered Poland to be a better lead player than Dave.
But TSHF's best solo's all belong to Dave.

the reason dave hired poland is cos they r friends now they both get on with each other they apologised and aload of other ****

Excellent - a happy ending

i was thinking but does any1 think that maybe dave is gonna quit after this tour cos from whats happened to him over the past few years i think hes gonna get really stressed like really badly stressed

I may be wrong, but I think this is his last tour with Megadeth.

What do you guys reckon is the best solo in TSHF. I reckon Kick the Chair has the best. When Dave starts the solo, everything just flows.

It is as far as I know.

I'd have to agree. I think that's a great solo. As to Mustaine's lead work being better than Poland's on TSHF I couldn't agree more. I was pretty suprised. I thought it would be the other way around.

Daves offically said that this is the last year he's gonna be touring under the Megadeth name. Apparently when the US tour finishes it's over to Europe, Japan and Australia, then back to the US for a 'Victory' lap.

Polands solos are different *I* think is because he's been out of Metal for so long, so his Metal solos have turned more Jazz styled. That aside, I do prefer Mustaines solos to Polands on TSHF.

Dave must really come to OZ or i'll kick him in the head lol. ummm no, i will be
really upset, i have loved Megadeth for about 12 years and i've never been
able to see them outta all the times they've come out.

oh and all the people in my crap hick town are all calling them 'Da Deff, wtf
is up with that???? and they only know TSHF.

"Megadeth plans on doing the Euro/UK tour as you know, then tentatively to Japan and Oz, and hopefully South America, to be finished with one last victory lap of the states this summer."

That's from Daves own mouth.

^ really??

where was it posted? or was it on radio or tv???

Wow - I'm so glad I'm finally seeing them if they're going to stop touring all together.
Sad news - but it means the show should be pretty spectacular

I was thinking of seeing them on the extra London date, which would make it two nights in a row i would be seeing them. I'll talk to my dad

yeah i'm gonna get my ticket as soon as it goes on sale lol.

the shows r jsut gonna be basic just like the rude awakening 1 probably anyway ya no cos thats all they do basic shows they dont need fancy stuff to put on a good show cant wait a whole 2 days less of a month and i get to see them

^ Yeah well you could say that about a few bands lol.
I actually like fancyness lol, as my favourite band is KISS.
i don't know when the OZ tix are going on sale because they haven't even
made an announcment yet. I hope they play an arena or something so i
can actually go to it. I'll scream if they play 18+ clubs lol, and like a couple of
months short of my 18th birthday lol.

If you look older than you are, go for it dude. They'll probably let you off anyway

I'm going to the Belfast show and it's over 18's. I'm only 16 but I'm going. I had already bought my ticket before I found out though.

The megadeth website isnt always right...call the venue and ask to make sure its 16 and up. I went to the show in New York, which said 16 and up on the site, but was actually all ages.

Feb 3 Glasgow arena

train to Newcastle- Newcastle to Edinbrough- edinbrough- Glasgow
same back 1130 train to Ebrough - overnight train to Newcastle gets in at 6am then train to school for 9 oclock

that's my dedecation to go and see megadeth!
