Megadeth

[Mr. Dick Purple]

My Fave Album is CTE
My fave song is Hook In mouth, also it was my first megadeth song that I've ever heard I was 9?

Let's just clear one thing up - Megadeth's out and out metal is better than Metallica
And Dave is a millions times better than Kirk Hammett

Amen?

I find it quite sad that some people feel the need to constantly compare such good bands and run down the one they don't like.

Don't feel sorry for Metallica - they made themselves shit - and Metallica, good? I was a child when that was even vaguely true - its been 14 years.

I agree Izzy, it has been a while since they did something really good (S&M aside, but that was live and based mainly on older songs. so...) I didn't mind the black album, I think it's pretty good still (I never listened to them before that though) but Load, Re-Load (really stupid name BTW) and St. Anger are mediocre at best.

"Where's your Crown" Metallica? If you wanna know look over there on Dave Mustaine's head

Would anybody else here tend to agree that Cryptic Writings is a fine piece of work?  Quality throughout, underrated Megadeth album.

Fucking right! that album kicks
My favorite tunes from it are "Trust", "Almost honest" & "Use the Man"

how 'bout you?

[GNR_Green]

She Wolf followed (literally) by Vortex, awesome stuff.

[Timothy]

I have been listen to Cryptic Writings a lot lately and it is a great rock album .Very under rated .

[Neemo]

I'm gonna go to the upcoming show in Toronto (Sept 3) if I can get tickets. What do they play on tour these days? does anyone know?

17 years, not 14. ...And Justice For All came out in 1988.

If you go by the Black Album it would be 14 years.

[Walk]

If you go by the Black Album it would be 14 years.

If you're a n00b to Metallica and metal, then yeah.

Yes 

I'd put Master of Puppets and Black on a par - but and justice for all is for me a truly dire album

A new mix could save it - add in a bass line, alter the guitar tone, deal with the drum sound- and u might have a good album

As it is it sounds like an album of the same song

[psycotron]

i like the drum sound on justice. it sounds clear and heavy to me. u can hear it really well.

[GNR_Green]

The production/mix on aJFA - how many times has that been discussed on here?! 

Does anyone think the Dave machine will bring Megadeth out for any more tours/albums or do you think it's all over after this one?

[usurper]

I find it impossible to choose, here are my top 5

1. When (The World Needs A Hero)
2. Hanger 18 (Rust in Peace)
3. Almost Honest (Cryptic Writings)
4. Sweating Bullets (Countdown to Extinction)
5. Hook in Mouth (So Far, So Good, So What!)

[Neemo]

I got Tickets to MEGADETH today ? It'll be my first time seeing them live. I'm about 100ft (30m) away or so on the right side of the stage. Thanks for the Set list dustNroses looks like its pretty "System" heavy but that's alright, it's a good album.  it should be a pretty cool show, I can't wait.

They are gonna be playing with Dream Theater, Fear Factory and Nevermore. Anyone heard of these bands? are they good?

I've heard Fear Factory before they are alright and I've heard of Dream Theater but have never listened to them before. I have no fucking clue who Nevermore is.

[POPmetal]

Dream Theater is amazing live! As a group, they are probably the most skilled collection of rock musicians ever assembled. Machines wouldn't be able to play more accurately. They have some songs that are a bit mellow, but they are fast and heavy most of the time and when they rock, they rock!

Their new album Octavarium kicks ass. They are certainly not for everyone though. The title track is 24 minutes long, so that probably turns off some people with short attention spans. 6 Degrees of Inner Turbulence was a double album and the second disk was all just one 42 minute song. Definitely not radio friendly pop music. Very grandiose.
