[QUOTE=VicRattlehead99]i agree Set the world afire is the best song on the album did you know that it was going to be called megadeth?[/QUOTE]
Makes sense, what with the song being about a nuclear holocaust.

That's for sure,
He's probbably my favourite metal songwriter.

Megadeth is decent IMO...

Nothing standoutish, but nothing totally crappy either.

i have to say I love 'In my darkest hour', I think mustiane totally opens himself up and we get a really good look about whats going threw his head and what makes dave tick.
I love that song for the lyrics...and the guitar is ok too...

Inspired by the death of Cliff Burton (R.I.P) that song.

I love that song but i dont understand the lyrics. Is Dave basically bitchin about Cliff Burton or is it actually a real tribute to him?

I thought he had broken up with his girl or something like that...its about cliff?????

dw, I just found out, it's about how Dave and Cliff were really good friends and how Cliff wasnt there for Dave when he got kicked out aparently.

oh ok

but then again.....

[B]Did you ever think I get lonely
Did you ever think that I needed love
Did you ever think to stop thinking
You’re the only one that I’m thinking of.

You’ll never know how hard I tried
To find my space and satisfy you too.

But oh how I lived my life for you
Still you’d turn away
Now as I die for you
My flesh still crawls as I breathe your name
All these years I thought I was wrong
Now I know it was you[/B]

then whats all that about? :confused:

Dave wrote the song after he heard that cliff was dead, im pretty sure the lyrics dnt have anything 2 do with him though.

I can see how they're about him

"Maria Ferraro, a true metal legend aptly named 'metal Maria' worked for Megaforce records. She called me the day that Cliff had died or somewhere close to it. No one else from Metallica or their management did. I went straight to the dope man, got some **** and starting singing and crying and writing this song. Although the lyrics have nothing to do with him, his untimely passing gave me this melody that lives in the hearts of metal heads around the world." - Dave Mustaine

They weren't about him.

dave wrote the song, completly-which according to him was the only time he has ever done that-the day that cliff died after he found out the news. chirs poland was still in the band, and supposedly had a hand in writing it. the lyrics are about a girl that dave loved, who loved him back, but according to him they were "so toxic together" and it didn't work out. and now we have in my darkest hour.

Ah, my mistake

It is about Burton, what made you all think otherwise?

I'm reading the So Far, So Good...So What! booklet now and I see no reference to Cliff Burton.

I always thought it was directly about him.
/Runs and gets SFSGSW booklet.

not about him.......promise

Meh, it was infuenced by him.
When Metallica kicked him out the band apparently (not neccessarily true) Burton kinda said "I'm sorry" and all crap, IMDH is sorta about him abandoning Mustaine, not neccessarily his death.

No they aren't! did you not read the direct quote from Dave Mustaine. They have nothing to do with him...the music was inspired by his death, nothing else!

go pick up the sept (i think) 04 issue of guitar world with trey from phish on the cover. big article with dave talking about the new album and such. he explains IMDH in it. that's where i got the quote. hell, the even tabbed the intro!

Alright.

[QUOTE=metal guitar]What do you mean "I aint kind"?
I'm just not your kind.

One of my favourite lyrics.[/QUOTE]
I have a peace sells t-shirt with that on the back :cool:

also I knew stwa was gonna be called megadeth...

maybe it would have been better that way so 'deth had a proper "anthem" with the name in (like iron maiden say... or iced earth)

So i just played the LTD DV-8 at Grandmas, I gotta say it's pretty cool. kind of hard to sit with though....

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]I have a peace sells t-shirt with that on the back :cool: [/QUOTE]
Me too. It's my favorite shirt.

Wow, I need to get myself that shirt, especially as I don't have a 'Deth shirt yet.

NP:Metallica with Mustaine-The Mechanix

I had a totally cooler Megadeth t-shirt than any o' you! Unless of course, one of you guys have it as well. Vic was on the front struggling with a bunch of demons...Anyways, I sliced it up and made a backpatch out of it. I've since retired that vest though.

As a matter of fact, here it is... the shirt. [url]http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33007&item=7506555155&rd=1[/url]

I have the Killing Is My Business shirt, with Rattlehead on the front.
It's cool.

I've seen that shirt before. I wanted to pick up a shirt when I saw them live, but I was out of cash. :(

Oh yeah, I borrowed a friends copy of Youthenasia. It's pretty good, but not as good as say, Countdown to Extinction.

I'm not very keen on Countdown To Extinction :-/

NP:Marty Freidman-Evil Thrill

I was in a mall that sold all kinds of funky shirts and band shirts, the only Megadeth ones were Rust in Peace with the biohazard cymbal on the back and the Peace Sells T-shirt with "What do you mean im not kind...just not your kind" written on the back.....I got the RIP one, needless to say...

Anyways about the lyrics to "Im My Darkest Hour", the only lyric that may resemble to Cliff's death is the last set of lyrics.....

"My whole life is work built on the past
But the time has come when all things shall pass
THIS GOOD THING PASSED AWAY"

I will be sure to get a Deth shirt on Friday when i see them. :D

yeah do so, you need to show how cool you are...

I now want a RIP shirt...

ive got a peace sells shirt, but ill probly pic up another 1 at the concert on sat night in melbourne.....cant wait

Yeah, I only have the Clockwork Orange 'Deth t-shirt, but like most people I'll pick up another one on Saturday.

I've always wondered about that too.

i only have two t shirts vic burning in hell (long sleeve)and vic on a cross of skulls with knives running through him it is pretty bad but i had to drive to mexico to get.

i think that phrase in IMDH has to do with his work he put in on his relationship with the girl he wrote the song about, and how now the relationship is over.

found a baddbooty 'mary jane' t shirt on ebay last night. would fit me too, think i might own it.
