Indeed - i bought all the re-issues (which i think improve the albums dramatically - the orginal mixes of many of the albums are fairly awful)

Most of the outtake tracks are superb - New World Order is most likely my fav Megadeth track. And the Rust in Peace Demo's are fanatastic - its great to here Chris Poland's attempts at the songs

If only Metallica would let Dave Mustaine remix ''...and justice for all'', that album is one remix away from perfection

I like the vocals on the Take No Prisoners demo. Dave's vocals on the original recording on the original RiP were like a cross between that and the vocals on the remaster.

I would love remasters of the first four Metallica albums, no need for the other Metallica albums to be remastered, though, in my opinion.

Agreed, the first 4 need a bit of work, just to update their sound - after all they were recorded under stone age conditions. As Metallica love the money it would be a relatively straightwforward way to millk the discography....

Recently, I read Lars' testemonial on Napster and I agreed with pretty much everything he says about it, because it affects loads of people and their jobs and not just the bands profits. Metallica haven't released any greatest hits either. I don't think they're as greedy as some people say they are, just that their products sell massive amounts.

Anyway, does anyone know when the Arsenal of Megadeth DVD is being released?

I guess next year, i'm not 100% sure. It won't contain all the videos, that blows.

I heard it was going to contain all the videos that arent already officially released. I also read somewhere that the reason its being held up is David Ellefson is giving Mustaine grief over songs he co-wrote etc.

Anyone out there thinking of not getting Risk because of the 'bad rep' go out and buy it.  Especially as this is a GN'R board, GN'R you have to admit have slightly 'pop' tendencies.  Risk is Megadeth showing that they can write different styles of songs and it's fucking good.

I like the song Seven the best, it's got a couple of great riffs and it's a quality good-time rock tune.

Megadeth getting back on track is the best news I've heard for a long time.  When they come to the UK next I'll be crawling over broken glass to get a ticket.  drool

CRUSH EM!!!  ok

Risk is not one of my fave Megadeth records but there are a few tracks you can like and thats Crush 'em, I think that song was made to sing along with the masses in every concert.
Also prince of darkness is ok. Is ecstasy on that record or am I in drugs?  nervous

Izzy, I have a question for you? In your Honest opinion, how good is TSHF? I haven't followed Megadeth for quite sometime.

The System has failed is a fantastic album - for sheer consistency its their best since Rust in Peace. Track after track offers something up - maybe the final track is a bit weaker than the rest but there isn't any other song i skip past - even the ''prayer'' has a kick ass instrumental section

Its slower than their 80's stuff, but in the place of the incredibly fast riffs u have incredibly catchy ones - no other Megadeth album has so many riffs that work as ring tones!

The first few tracks especially are full of some damn fine solo's from Chris Poland - Megadeth's guitarist back in the 80's.

Ironically enough its more accesible than their ''pop'' albums....

Its closest to Countdown to Extinction in style - the System has failed is kinda like Countdown to Extinction with far more memorable riffs. I prefer TSHF to CTE, the songs are more memorable, and like i said its far more consistent

The lyrics are strong - plenty of tracks about how he hates Metallica too - 'Something that i'm not' and 'Mice and men'

Its well worth a listen, its not going to change ur life and their is no song on here as good as November Rain but it its a damn fine album, and i was delighted that Dave played 6 tracks from it live - how many other bands play 6 tracks from their latest album? Metallica played 2....

Well then, I guess I'll go pick up a copy. Here's hoping it can dethrone(my favorite)Youthanasia.

I don't think it's gonna dethrone it.
But wasn't TSHF the left over of the CTE, Youthanesia, RIP albums?  Huh

Don't know about that Mr. Dick Purple, but it's pretty damn good!!! Chris Poland ios the other orig Megadeth guitarist. IMO there are flashes of the brilliance from Peace Sells. Unfortunately Chris only helped write songs, he didn't go out on the road with dave Sad

Regardless Dave mustaine is awesome live!!!

Personally I liked "The World Needs a Hero" better than TSHF but both are really good albums, Its awesome (and surprising) that Dave has managed to keep Megadeth playing the same type of kick-ass metal for twenty-some years.

Nesquick, why bother coming into the Megadeth thread if you don't like them??

The other day I was watching a downloaded bootleg of a 1984 Megadeth gig, before they even released Killing Is My Business...

Kerry King was there on stand-in lead guitar duty, Gar on drums, Ellefson on bass and the Dave on his 10-string BC Rich.  Fucking metal up your ass!  Dave taps the intro to Last Rites/Loved To Death.  Plenty of Peace Sells material (though in its early stages) which surprised me.  The picture quality is, well, 1984!  But the sound stands the test of time well.  I think my mate downloaded it off some Torrent web-site.

Finally!

I got the Duke Nukem theme by Megadeth.

Genius, pure genius. Why dont Megadeth do more songs like that? Its got a terrific groove and more songs in that style would be welcome - Megadeth often work better doing instrumentals.

Incidently - Dave's remix of New World Order on Youthanasia (remix) is infinetly better than the original - on the original there are some awful guitar fills, which Dave thankfully leaves out!
