  1. He said he hated them completely, that his sequence in the Some Kind of Monster/"Bullshit" (as he put it) was "the last betrayal". But still, Metallica and Megadeth would be pretty damned cool. But Hell, what am I complaining for? If Megadeth toured with Maiden that would be hella-sweet!
  2. Maiden and Megadeth? That would be uber-awesome! Two of my favourite bands! I've always wondered if Megadeth and Metallica would play another gig together but after listening to what Mustaine had to say about Metallica on Bruce Dickinson's show that doesn't seem very likely at all.
  3. Heh, it's true that Dave Mustaine's vocals are an acquired taste. But that album is great, far superior to Metallica's last attempt at a record in any case. And it will be Glen Drover who is touring with Megadeth for this album, it's a shame Chris Poland didn't stick around though Whether or not they come to Scotland (or even the UK) is uncertain yet as the only tour dates to be announced are for North America. They came to Scotland for the last album though so keep you're fingers crossed.
  4. Just to let you all know, you can buy a legitimate(pre-release) copy of the new album for 10 (delivery included) from here; Play.com Also, Dave Mustaine will be talking about the new album on Saturday the 11th on Bruce Dickinson's radio show, BB6. More info here
  5. I love the bluesy bit on Tornado of Souls, can't play it though...perhaps one day I will though A great song to learn is Dread & The Fugitive Mind, it's easy to sing whilst playing too In Total Guitar magazine they gave a mini-review of TSHF and only gave it 3/5, stating that the album can't compare with Megadeth's earlier work. While it's not exactly Rust in Peace, or Peace Sells...it's hardly as bad as the Risk album (I didn't like it, feel free to disagree). In my opinion the new album is great, especially when you consider the stuff Megadeth's old metal rivals are putting out now-a-days.
  6. That picture is...absolutely terrifying! As if Robocop wasn'tscary enough.
  7. You've heard Rude Awakening? I have that on CD and DVD Jimmy DeGrasso's She-Wolf drum solo is great, he goes on about it furing the ending credits It's a great sounding DVD but the band seems very static on stage, they don't move around too much... I can play the She-Wolf verse; "Wicked Temptress Knows How to please...", that bit. The alternate picking at the start is way too fast for me, I can't get the rythm right. But I've just managed to get a job so I'll finally have money for guitar lessons!!! Then perhaps after a while I'll be good enough to play it.
  8. Perhaps the TNP backing vocals re-recording was just a test before he totally overhauled LV's vocals for the MD.45 re-master When I saw the lineup for the new Megadeth album and didn't see Dave Ellefson's name I was disapointed; he had been with Megadeth from the start and he's a damn good bassist. But after I heard TSHF I gained confidence that DM could carry the band himself.
  9. I thought so too, they sound like they've been re-recorded....which probably means they have been re-recorded...wow, I'm a stickler for stating the obvious.
  10. The Peace Sells remaster is definitely an improvement upon the original, the vocals are much clearer and the drums don't seem to dominate the other instruments as much. I don't know about Rust In Peace, the original was good enough there wasn't much need to remaster it, other than to increase anticipation for The System Has Failed of course. I really want to get my hands on the remastered Killing Is My Business... remaster that was released in North America a while back. My mate Nick managed to get it on a trip to America but I've never seen it over here...
  11. AH! What a brilliant album, I can't get enough of it! I'm glad Mustaine is back with Megadeth, although I'm surprised to see that David Ellefson isn't in the band's line-up. "Blackmail the Universe", the first track is supremely awesome. "Kick the Chair" a very energetic song. "Back in the Day", a great tribute to the glory years of Metal - the guitar verse reminds me of "Rattlehead" from Killing Is My Business... "Something I'm Not" is another track worth checking out. This album seems to combine the speed and intensity of Rust In Peace with the heaviness and political lyrics of Countdown to Extinction. This album deserves to be big and put Megadeth back in the spotlight. Does anyone know if Megadeth will come to Scotland again, now that the band has been revived? For their last album, The World Needs a Hero, they came to Glasgow. Unfortunately I missed that show, at that point in my life I had just got into Megadeth. I would give an arm, a leg and a kidney to see them play live!
