In some kind of monster, dave talked about breaking some ones leg or something.What was it about?

He broke Phil Sandoval's leg, from Armored Saint, cuz he pushed lars down so dave broke his leg

Damn... And they kicked him out.

[B]Megadeth is absolutely great! i got into it when i was about 17 when i first heard "Rust In Peace... Polaris" on some old cassette i got from my mate, and ive been caught ever since. of course songs like "Trust" and "Almost Honest" have been getting some radio play and so on, but they never caught my attention as much as RIP did.[/B]

Not for that though.

Yeah I know. For alcoholism.

No, he was too awesome for the band :D

lol, dave mustaine is one of the coolest frontmen.

I listened to CtE for the first time in a while last night, and I've forgotten just how much I love that album. The harmony solos in the title track and Ashes In Your Mouth give me such a nostalgic feeling.

Hell yes.

Dave is f***ing cool. I think he practice karate or something

Not just Karate. He has something like 9 black belts in different martial arts.

Dave is god

I know.
Anyone to get into a fight with him is virtually commiting suicide.

I would like dave to kick james hetfield's a**

Never gonna happen, their cool about it now (I think)

I think Dave did before he left.

Yeah, that was pretty much the moment when Megadeth became better than Metallica would ever be, cuase they're fuelled by Dave, and his emotions, and Metallica are fuelled by Lars' greed and wankery

And Dave wrote almost all the solos and some riffs for "kill'em all" : metallica's best album

Well he wrote some of the solos for Kill 'Em All. And many of the riffs for The Four Horsemen. But Kill 'Em All is nowhere near Metallica's best album. MoP or RtL are in that position.

Megadeth I think were always thrashier and way cooler than Metallica. Especially Dave, which makes them, in my eyes, better.

He wrote all but 2 solos :p

I actually think either of the demoes (Power Metal, or No Life 'Til Leather), are better then Kill 'em All. They're both sped up versions of Kill 'em All, with Mustaine on Lead guitar.

Of course, the quality is extremely poor (It's even worse then mine when I set up a microphone in my shed! :p), and the songs aren't as complete as they are on Kill 'em All (And they're not all there), but it's just some of the little subtleties in the songs. I always thought Kirk pwned the Jump In The Fire solo, then I heard Mustaine's and realized why...

Plus, Power Metal has the coolest cover art of any Metallica album (save perhaps MoP).

[QUOTE=Chu]I actually think No Life 'Til Leather is better then Kill 'em All.

I agree, actually.

Megadeth is great and I have a feeling their latest will be the best album since Countdown (RIP is the best though).

I really like Ride :smoke:

So, **** bands, except Megadeth for the Aus leg of Gigantour, pointless now.

[QUOTE=Press Release]Too long have Australian Metal fans waited for a touring Metal Festival…
Too long have they felt envious of U.S & European headbangers…
Too much like Yoda does this press release sound…

Enter GIGANTOUR, the fast and furious traveling festival that was hailed last year by Revolver magazine as "the mother of all shred festivals" will kick off its first trip to Australia in October.

The brainchild of MEGADETH frontman DAVE MUSTAINE, GIGANTOUR will savage its way down the East Coast in October. MEGADETH will make their triumphant return on a bill that includes fellow heavy-hitters Soulfly, Arch Enemy, Caliban and more.

"This is the concert that I, as a heavy metal music fan, would want to see," says MUSTAINE who handpicks the acts personally. "It is going to be something to look forward to each year, to see what kind of tremendous talent we can assemble, for GIGANTOUR festivals in the years to come."

Having not being to Australia since their 2002 sold out tour, Soulfly will be making their presence felt on GIGANTOUR with their fierce, unrelenting, heavy and foreboding sounds. As expected of Max Cavalera, it is metal for the daring. Never safe and always engaging,

Metal titans ARCH ENEMY - whose dynamic cocktail of melody and aggression has earned them massive critical acclaim, a rabid worldwide fan base and a slot on this summer’s GIGANTOUR in the US. Arch Enemy gathered an army of fans on their 2005 tour and are set to light a fire under the *** of metal fans that missed them last time.

Rounding off GIGANTOUR is German’s finest Metalcore exponents, Caliban. Named after the wild, deformed slave in Shakespeare's “The Tempest”, Caliban are currently at their most creative ever. Brutal guitar staccato-salvos, complex alternate bombastic and clear walls of guitar, beautiful harmonies that consistently flair up and incredible rhythm, combined with this one of the most dynamic live shows going around that will knock the socks off every metal-core fan.

Make no mistake…this is the Metal event of the year…this is GIGANTOUR.

indeed

This CANNOT be 18+, the only metal gigs in Brisbane which are under 18 are always the s[I]h[/I]itty metalcore gigs which all the goths and slipknot kids go to.
