I love Mechanix lyrics because they're funny and different. Different I mean, it's about $ex as far as I know however it's not described in a stupid way. The first time I read the lyrics I even laughed a bit. :thumb:

seein them in Belfast first time they have been here in like 8 years apperantly

Hey, I love megadeth, and to play their songs, but I'm having trouble playing poland's solos. It seems to me he uses a technique, but, I don't know. Can anyone help me out?

all right, thanks... i guess...

if u want my advice ignore my advice i never know what im saying half the time lol but emm i actually dont think theres a technuiqe to it

Who cares about Chris' technique (yes, he's the best for me in Megadeth)??? I mean, just get the tabs, learn a few solos by him and after that you'll know all of his tricks. Guitarists can always sound different in their songs, but they all have their "specific" tricks. You just need to learn some of his stuff and then you'll automatically dig into it.

Sorry, couldn't explain any better :thumb:

great explanation, but, i mean, how does he play those solos so fast without doing pull-offs or hammer-ons or tremelo picking?

^It is called speed picking I guess. I can't explain how he plays that fast because I never tried his solos. :upset:

I need to spend more time on learning 'deth's stuff.

Marty's leads are much harder than Poland's leads IMO. Not really for speed, but for sweeping and some tough legato runs.

Lyrically, I like Megadeth a lot. Sometimes the lyrics are shat, but the music makes up for it tenfold. Other times the lyrics are very good. Dave seems to write a bit more abstractly than other thrash bands, and I like that.

MAthiAS

Marty's stuff is easier. IMO Poland's solos are the hardest on Megadeth albums.

Marty just uses various styles as you said and different scales.

However, technique vise Poland is harder..............again IMO

BTW, I recently read that as soon as Chris was kicked out from 'deth, he recorded a solo album named Return To Metropolis with his brother on drums which showed his great songwriting skills. Apparently, album was also filled with a few 'deth-like riffs and some serious shredding. I want to hear it :upset:

I saw that at Newbury Comics but didn't have the money to buy it. I'm surprised Gars isn't on drums.

REally? I'll have to check that out. Anyone here like MD.45? I've never actually checked them out either. I've heard they're like exactly the same as Deth.

Yet another cd I constantly see but never have bothered to pick up.I really should though. I think I heard Dave doesn't sing on it.

hey anyone know what cd i should pick up next by these guys, i have RIP and countdown to extinction, havent listened to CTE yet though. but what other 'deth cd should i get?

thanks in advance

If you like Thrashier stuff, go for Killing is my Business....and buisness is good and Peace Sells.
If you're not thrashs centred I would reccomend Cryptic Writings, it's not thrashy at all but it's one of their best efforts IMO.
Also for just heay metal try The System has failed, and The World Needs A Hero.

TSHF is excellent...
best song on that is truth be told IMO

I really like Truth be told untill it breaks into the solos.
I love Die Dead Enough.

ah public transport is crap in England

It's not too bad
I've used to trains to get to the Carling festival for the last 2 years and they've been alright.

MD.45 is exactly the same as deth cos its all daves material. that album they done was amazing and Dave sings on the remastered copys but Lee Ving or some1 sings on original
