Megadeth
Discuss.
I have the privelege of being able to see them live on the 16th, in Norwich UK, in a tiny (for them) 500 capacity venue. I am ****ting myself. Best album: Prog metal classic Rust in Peace. I rate their two most recent albums, other than that I'm only into the thrashy stuff bar a few 90's anthems SAFE |

I am re-opening this thread as the Metallica V Megadeth thread is not exactly in any bands favour.
|
Rust in Peace was my favourite album for most of my early guitar shreddin' teens, and it is still one of my favourite heavy metal albums.
|
Dave Mustaine's still pumpin' out great riffs, and Chris Broderick is a hell of a guitarist.
How was the concert Molecules? |
Allow my cringey/ancient introductory post to this thread... there are worse lying around I know it.
I'll come back to Rust In Peace or Peace Sells periodically and be convinced they are the finest staccato symphonies of distorted insanity that have ever been; my forays into thrash metal of the 80's otherwise have not been so successful... The Megadeth Last.fm radio station has some great bands but not a lot of them impressed, there just isn't a lot that can live up to the progressive excellence that Mustaine has established as a benchmark in the genre... It's easy to forget just how accomplished they were Jackhammer did an excellent thrash metal thread somewhere though, needs a revival *cough* Other than that I think some of the heavy metal granddads on here should get naming records they think can better Megadeth's two classics (other than Reign In Blood and Overkill ofcourse), be they pre-1986 or not. |

I stuck out like a sore thumb cause obviously the entire metal community turned out and I was the only one without shoulder-length hair and a Lamb of God t-shirt... Oh and Mustaine was really on form with the banter, funny man. The tracks were rendered flawlessly and he hit every note. |
UEA gig yeah? My ex was asked to tour with them in exhange for... services....
In response to a rivalling metal album, Ride the Lightning for me (at risk of another Metallica/Megadeth argument). |

yeah it was the UEA, definitely one of the smaller university venues, where my 17-year-old sister was the only one who could get served when neither of us had ID, if that isn't a proof of sexist bar staff I don't know what is about your ex though - are you serious? wtf?? dirty old buggers |

I have the 'Rude Awakening' live DVD from 2001 and it is tight as the proverbial nuns bits. Excellent SQ too. I have seen them live back in the early days and they were fantastic. Here is the classic 'Wake up Dead' from the DVD.

Yep, about 2 weeks after we broke up as well. Great for your confidence i'll tell you, not much chance comparing to Dave Mustaine you know? |
Megadeth were and still are ****ing tight as ****. I was more on the Tallica side of the fence when I was getting into metal and I never really gave Megadeth the time they deserved when it came to making an effort to really listen and repeatedly listen to their stuff. Luckily I snapped out of that, and I'm not sure where it ranks in comparison to the older Tallica stuff in my eyes but Rust In Peace ****s all over a hell of a lot of thrash metal I've heard.
|
I'm afraid I've only heard Countdown To Extinction. Rust In Peace is the good one, eh?

Probably worse. Thank God.
And yes Alfred, I second that motion. Get Rust In Peace now. |
