Megadeth was still good in the 90s. Rust in Peace came out 1990.

As did Countdown, Youth, and Cryptic Writings... TWNAH was 2001 right?

i like megadeth's guitar work, bass, and drums but i don't really like dave voice

I'm not saying Rust in Peace was bad, I just loved his 80s work. All about the sex, drugs and hair imo.

Initially dave's voice annoyed me, but to be honest, it's really grown on me now.

Same with me. At first I didn't like them as much because I didn't like Dave's singing, but over time I got used to it. I like it a lot now.

Same deal with me. Rust in Peace > 80s work though IMO. Marty just brought so much to the table.

Agreed.

Rust in Peace is by far my favorite, mainly because of Marty.

RIP > 80's work, CDTE > other stuff.

I prefer some of the 80s stuff to Countdown, but its undoubtedly a great album. High Speed Dirt is one of my favorite Deth songs, though it doesn't get much attention.

I used to listen to that album all the time. High Speed Dirt is definitly awesome.

It's a great album, just not as thrashy. Marty does some great solos on it.

Marty always has great solos... I wonder what it would've sounded like if Marty had played on KIMB-SFSGSW.

That's an interesting thought. It would probably be much different. Marty's solos took the songs to a whole new level, but Poland's added a different feel to the songs too.

Weren't Polands solos mainly influenced by jazz or blues, back then? Or is that after he left the band that his stuff started to get influenced by jazz and/or blues?

Bingo.
His guitar sounded more like fuzz than a nice metal tone too.
I heard a couple solos he played and his tone was so odd it sounded like a keyboard!

I like Poland. He's obviously not as good as Marty, but I think he was good for MegaDeth.

Poland was a jazz guitarist before Deth, so yeah, that kind of carried over into it. And I think his tone sucked on KIMB, and was pretty good on Peace Sells.

Marty was in Cacophony before Deth, and oddly he went into Japanese pop music after. His solos always sounded influenced by other styles of music, even more so that Poland's.

I agree. I like his jazzy solos because they added something to the songs.

JUST KIDDING FOOLS. God****... get a sense of humour...
But anyways... Much respect to Mustaine, he's an excellent riffer of sorts

[QUOTE=MAthiAS]Into the Lungs of Hell is an awesome song, my favorite instrumental. The tapping part is so cool.[/QUOTE]

I've been trying to learn that song for ages, but alas, my guitar don't have 24 frets :(

[QUOTE=Last Ditch Effort]It's actually not tapping on the remastered album.
He is merely pulling off of his 24th fret onto a zero and picking the zero once.

On the original CD SFSGSW he is tapping though.[/QUOTE]

Could you please post the song (mp3)? I wat to hear what the remastered one sounds like

it's the difference in Poland's jazzy stuff that made megadeth a bit different and how they stood out from the 80's thrash crowd... they just sounded a bit different on the early stuff

You need to remember that this is the internet. Sarcasm doesn't carry well across it.

Too Right :thumb:

Mustaine is one of the best. people think of him as just a rythem/vocalist but you have to remember that:

1. he was the lead guitarist for metallica before he got kicked out
2. he wrote alot of material for metallica which got stolen by the bastards
(example: four horsemen is megadeths mecanix)
3. he is better than kirk hammet any day, kirk is good on cds but sucks live.
4. he writes all the solos for megadeth bassically so he can play his lead
guitarists parts the same or better than his lead guitarist
5. holy wars (just listen to that megadeth song and youll see why he owns)

He doesn't write all of the solos. There is alot of stuff that Marty wrote that Dave could never play.

[QUOTE=munky_magik]He doesn't write all of the solos. There is alot of stuff that Marty wrote that Dave could never play.[/QUOTE]

Maybe some stuff, but I remember reading an interview where they were playing live, and Marty missed a queue, so Dave just took the solo for him.

I was actually suprised by his soloing ability on TSHF. I would have thought that Poland would write all of the good solos, but it seems like the better ones were all played by Dave.

I'm pretty sure dave will learn all the solos (How could you not?) but I don't think he writes [B]all[/B] the lead solos..

On another note, why is there always so much bashing between Megadeth and Metallica? It bloody annoys me...

Never said he wrote all the lead solos, but I'm pretty sure he can play all of them.

I hate the Megadeth - Metallica bashing. It's all people's opinions, and it gets absolutely nothing accomplished.

That said, I prefer Megadeth. :)

Mustaine writes all the music except the drums he gives his drummer a basic idea and then goes with what they come up with. poland didnt write any of his own megadeth solos it was all mustaine. mustaine wrote em so he can play em. once again holy wars listen to it.

I have listened to Holy Wars. Your point being?

No. Just... no.

Everyone has a different style of solos. Poland wrote his own solos, thus the jazzy feel. Mustaine did not write Marty's either. Marty's solos sound much different than Mustaine's. Where the hell did you come up with that?

If you actually think that he wrote their solos, find an accurate source, and post it.
