people who haven't bathed in years.... stupid people who are just there to mosh to LOG and get kicked out of the venue.

however, there were some really cool sane people there.

Can't see Dave singing Hetfield's lyrics. And there's no mention about it over at Megadeth forums. They'd be pissing blood if he did Horsemen. The reviews only said that they did Mechanix in between Holy Wars and the Punishment Due. That's what they said anyway . . .

[redfire]

I thought Mustaine said he gave Dave a chance to come back. James Lomenzo is fine imo. But, as for Marty, that's a tough call. And for the record, right now Marty Friedman's latest cd (Loudspeaker) is in my cd player. I really liked Music for Speeding, so I'm ok with Marty being a solo artist, and I do want hear how Drover sounds. So, while I'd love to see him back with Megadeth, I'm fine with him being a solo artist. I do have big expectations for United Abominations. TSHF was a return for Dave. So only if UA sucks, which I don't think it will having heard Washinton's Next, then I'd press for Marty to return.

Marty coming back now would add a little bit of extra chemistry, and killer leads - but it's not like he was a major songwriting force is it?

Be cool in the live venue, but I don't think it'd make much difference in the studio....

[Dave's Bitch]

Wouldn't it be cool if one day Dave, James, and Lars could reunite under the Metallica name?

Think about this:

Dave (Vocals,rythym)
James (Vocals,rythym)
Lars (Drums)
Marty Friedman (Lead)
David Ellefson (Bass)

Nah that would not be cool.Hetfield does not belong on the same stage as Mustaine,They would release some fag metal song with a St Anger sound to it.

a better line up imo would be

Dave Mustaine (Vocals/Rhythm)
Marty Friedman (Lead)
Kirt Hammet (rhythm)
Cliff Burton (bass)
Nick Menza (drums)

Now THAT would be awesome
(althought it would obviously never be able to happen)

he co-wrote Countdown to Extinction,Captive honour,psychotron,ashes in your mouth off the top of my head,so he kinda was...

But anyway it's not important if he was a good song writer,his solo's kick ass,and he has a distinct sound in the band (atleast i think so anyway).Example him and say chris poland's stuff sounds alot different to me

[Dave's Bitch]

Now there is a question.

Poland or Friedman

i like that sort of crowd myself.although i seem to get kicked in the head at every gig like that i go to

[redfire]

You know, Poland played some of the solos on TSHF, and you're right, Poland and Friedman are two different players. If Poland could handle touring and everything, I'd be fine with him playing. I think he has moved on though. Marty however can just shit leads. And yeah, he was a good songwriter. Even if he didn't contribute lyrically, he and Becker made those Cacaphony albums listenable. But, like I said, Dover has done a good job of playing other people's parts that a lot of us consider classic. But playing a lead that Marty or Chris, or even Jeff or Al created, and making one yourself is another.

What about Al Pitrelli? I honestly would have like to have seen him on tour. I thought he did a damn good job on the Rude Awakening dvd.

It would be cool if Poland could handle tours,Like you say,Drover has done an amazing job.WHen i saw megadeth on the Blackmail the universe tour Drover was on fire,not one off note.Considering he was playing songs such as Holy Wars with blistering solo's,He is an awesome guitarist.

I like Al Pitrelli,He has a textbook guitar style.The world needs a hero is not my fav 'deth cd but there are some good tracks with good solo's,Moto Psycho and Promises (pitrelli co worote that i think).And i mean he was up against some good competition for his position in the band like james murphy from testament.it's a shame Mustaine said he "wasn't fitting in"

Friedman's playing is the sound most people prefer in megadeth.I would have to go with him aswell,Although i love Polands style,his solo's are awesome,and the tracks he did on the system has failed are awesome

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

I'm a huge Deth fan, but even I admit that Moto Psycho sucks.

[Dave's Bitch]

The world needs a hero was not the best album by far but it had some decent guitar work on it

[redfire]

Yeah, and unfortunately for Pitrelli that album was the only chance he had, excluding Rude Awakening. I still really like Dread and the Fugitive Mind (esp the Rude Awakening version). But for me, it's not just Marty's sound. Technique, yes. But actual sound, no. But, again, I want to hear what Drover does on this album.

Btw, how amazing was Washington's Next, if anyone has heard it live? And I mean besides the shitty youtube version that's out there.

Sweet, I'm fuckin' jacked that a band I really like is coming out with a new album, unlike some other bands that shall remain nameless...

I wonder if the song Gears of War is going also be the theme song to the game of the same name coming out in two weeks, who just so happened to support the Gigantour...

[redfire]

By the way merrykissmass, do you play Oblivion?

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

There's a reason why it's in my sig!


I need to reinstall it though.... I haven't played it for months because I had to buy a new mobo.

[Golden AWe]

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

[redfire]

lol, Oblivion owned my life for a while. But once you get to the point where your opponents are dying because you reflect so much damage on them, and you stop taking any damage, it just stops being fun. :) I have on the 360.

Meanwhile, back on the ranch. I saw someone had a remastered version of These Boots, but it wasn't censored. I didn't think there were any copies of Boots that weren't censored.

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

I'll get a 360 when I can play copied games on it.



About These Boots.... an uncensored version is on the original record.

I know that the original has it, but I mean one that is remastered, and uncensored.

As for the 360, man I just traded in a bunch of old shit, and payed it off like $10 a week. I would just do without going to Taco Bueno twice a week.

[redfire]

And if Metallica ever records another MOP, or RtL album, they'll be relevant. Heck, even another Black or And Justice would be better than nothing (though not by much). Until then, they are the Sammy Sosa of music.

LOL...You have to be way inclined to be kicked in the head in the middle of a concert crowd

[binnie]

World Needs a Hero wasn't the best record (better than Risk and more consistent than Youthanasia to these ears) but Dread and the Fugitive Mind is a stella song. Trully phenomenal!

[redfire]

Dread is a great song. And it did warrant being the Greatest Hits album. And I do agree that World Needs a Hero was more consistent than Risk, but I don't know if it was better than Youthanasia. Youthanasia is certainly not Rust in Peace, or even Countdown, but it wasn't a bad album. Just unfortunate that it followed those 2 albums.

[bastardog]

Youthanasia (in my opinion) isin the same level as The World Needs a Hero.......I like them both but not as much as Rust in Peace and the albums before it

[redfire]

That's cool. And I know what people mean about Youthanasia's consistency. It's not, lol. But I do think think the songs that don't suck really kick ass. The World Needs a Hero is better than Risk, or Cryptic Writings to me. And I think that World Needs a Hero was a sort of return to classic Megadeth that was more realised in The System has Failed. And that will hopefully be complete with United Abominations.

Damn, we really should just start a Megadeth thread.

That's the same progression that I see aswell....

[redfire]

Yeah, I want to hear Gears of the War, the song they just debuted last night at a party for the game of the same title. With technology today, that should be up on youtube in about 2 days. ;)

Damn right!

Megadeth are on Roadrunner records now, right?

They're the most prominet "metal" label out there, so with their help I can see UA being Megadeth's biggest release for a decade...

[vanhalendlrband]

I was a huge Metallica fan first, but now i'm a way bigger Megadeth fan, that and i've played those Metallica CD's till there was nothing left too haha.

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

Wiki to the rescue: They're on Roadrunner.

[binnie]

Cheers for checking!

Yes I was talking about the music (thrash).......

but on another topic.......If we don't start to recycle more seriously, yes, the other Trash will rule the world.......but hopefully some years (or decades) after the Thrash I was talking

[redfire]

haha.... one man's trash is another man's, well trash.

What did the System has Fail debut at on Billboard? 18th and that was with Sanctuary. How crazy would it be for Megadeth to finally get a number 1, and do it on a small label?

[binnie]

A no.1!

Can't see that happening - but some decent metal in the Top Ten would be killer.

Where did Slayer's last record debue, that's probably a good indication...

[bastardog]

I think the big interest won't let that happen.
They will put Daddy Yankee on top before Megadeth.....and no matter is the album sales are higher.....because they will make bigger money with Daddy Yankee or the likes

[binnie]

All the touring that Megadeth have done will probably have helped get Dave his crowd back.

Can't wait for this record...

Can't tell what the sound is like cos I've blown my speakers.

But here is Washington is Next Live

[redfire]

Yeah, you can't tell that much with blown speakers. It's not that much better with decent speakers, but you can tell it sounds like late 80's early 90's Megadeth. Musically, it still sounds like Dread & the Fugitive Mind, which I think kicks ass.

And I doubt that it'll go number 1 or even close, I'm just saying that'd be awesome. I do think it'll go top 10 with as much touring as they have done since TSHF. And that went to 18, even with leaks of the album online. But, that it would be awesome for Megadeth, not just Dave, but the band to finally hit number 1, and doing it by returning to what made Megadeth special to so many people, ie Rust in Peace.

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

All Dave wanted was to be number 1 once. I thought he was all along. Although they may have not had the biggest record sales, they definitely have been the most consistent. I think it could totally happen with extensive promotion and touring.


On a side note: Is it physically impossible to not air guitar to Holy Wars?

Right, and that's what I'm saying, how awesome, and ironic, would it be for it to finally happen. Especially being on a small label, or at least not on a major label.

As far as consistency, yeah I totally agree. There's always been stuff I could find on a Megadeth album that liked, and more than just one or two tracks. I mean, at least half of the album, even on Risk and Cryptic Writings. Consistency is what always seperated VH from everything else in the world. And in terms of thrash, it's what seperates Megadeth from Metallica for me.

[redfire]

And yes, it is possible to not air guitar Holy Wars... That is, if you can actually play it, then you don't have to air guitar it. :)

Gears of War
Music and Lyrics Dave Mustaine

Ethnic cleansing with no defending
These acts of genocide
A fatal ending with no surrendering
To cover up the crimes and lie

Smart bombs, precision guided armament
A more sophisticated way to end up dead
Still we search and invent such intelligent weapons
That kill each other like the Gears of War
Hoo-rah!!!

If you ride with thieves, then you die with thieves
Cross my heart and hope that you die, that you die!
When the smoke has cleared, the devil's in the mirror
And you see his warheads paint the sky, now you die!

Smart bombs, precision guided armament
A more sophisticated way to end up dead
Still we search and invent such intelligent weapons
That kill each other like the Gears of War
Hoo-rah!!!

I know what you mean. It's ironic, Mustiane gets kicked out of Metallica because he's too drunk and they reckon that'll endanger their career, and now Mustaine has the higher work rate.

I'll always prefer Metallica, but they procrastinate way too much, they are wrting a record at the moment. Rubin works differently to Rock, he won't let them enter the studio till everything is written....

[bueno bob]

I think Newsted really called it when he said that the band getting a therapist to help them all with their issues was really weak and gay, or whatever...

Rick Rubin may work a miracle with Metallica, but I'll believe it when I see it...

[bastardog]

A therapist....
Metallica seen a therapist............after that they maybe will be releasing an album of balads....love balads

they should see an assasing or a phsychopath.....or better, a phsychopath that also is an assasing and addicted.........that way maybe they will write a Trash song again

[binnie]

With the therapist issue, I think it was pushed on them by the managment, the same guys who pushed the same therapist on Rage Against the machine (not a lot of people know that.)

IMO, it was Hetfield who needed help, not the other guys. All that group bonding shit was BS as Lars essentially said recently when he noted that Metallica works today as it did in the 80's (ie a dictatorship of two), which was exactly what the theapist wanted to change.

Hetfield needed help, and I don't think it's gay to admit that - whatever your view of Metallica, if he's happier, good for him...

When I saw them on Gigantour, they played part of a new song that had a riff that was out of this world... then it had a slow, eery bridge. Of course, I can't remember the name of the song, so I can't look for it. However, I do remember that it sounded like it could have been on Rust in Peace.

Megadeth Releasing DVD Of Concert In Argentina
Wednesday January 17, 2007 @ 06:00 PM
By: ChartAttack.com Staff

Have you ever wondered what Megadeth sound like below the equator?

The veteran metal band and Image Entertainment are going to show you on March 6 when they release the That One Night: Live In Buenos Aires DVD.

The disc showcases a concert in front of more than 25,000 fans at Obras Stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Oct. 9, 2005. The show, which Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine calls "one of the greatest nights" of his life, features songs stretching across the group's career - from 1986's Peace Sells... But Who's Buying to 2004's The System Has Failed.

"That One Night is a lesson in metal fanaticism by some of the best participating, most frenzied and intense concert-goers in the world," says Mustaine. "If seeing this doesn't convince you how lethal a Megadeth concert in Argentina with some very close personal friends can be, don't worry... you're already dead."

Mustaine and the rest of the band - guitarist Glen Drover, drummer Shawn Drover and bassist James Lomenzo - are finishing their new CD, tentatively titled United Abominations, which should be in stores this spring.

Megadeth recently completed their second Gigantour festival tour of the U.S. The two-stage tour included Lamb Of God, Opeth, Arch Enemy, Overkill, Into Eternity, Sanctity and The Smash-Up. A DVD of the first Gigantour is available via Image Entertainment.

Here are the songs on That One Night: Live in Buenos Aires:

* "Blackmail The Universe"
* "Set The World Afire"
* "Wake Up Dead"
* "In My Darkest Hour"
* "She Wolf"
* "Reckoning Day"
* "A Tout Le Monde
* "Hangar 18"
* "Return To Hangar"
* "I'll Be There"
* "Tornado Of Souls"
* "Trust"
* "Something I'm Not"
* "Kick The Chair"
* "Coming Home"
* "Symphony Of Destruction"
* "Peace Sells"
* "Holy Wars"
* Alternate track of "Symphony Of Destruction"

Oh, hell yes!

Way to reopen this can of worms, bin!

Well, I try...

Still searching around for a release date for the new record though: no news as yet it seems, so march ain't looking promising. Roadrunner know what they're doing though...

FROM MEGADETH.COM

01/21: Dave Mustaine has posted an update at the Megadeth Forums: "So, yes the May 8th date is finally confirmed now that the mix is nearly done... Metal needs a really good oldschool record again. I believe I have delivered."

[perilousepete]

dave looks real baddass right there. i totally respect megadeth's work and dave, and i love their shit up until marty left. i know there's a ton of mainstream douchebags who are like oh yeah metallica's the best band ever duuude but, although i am not a mainstream kinda guy, i really do think that metallica has made great music, and even though they've put out a lot of weak shit ever since load i still love em. if you're talking talent, yeah megadeth's got all that. i'm not one to say that kirk's the best thing since sliced bread, but i think as a whole metallica just has this epic sound. and yeah credit is due to dave for writing early metallica songs. i also love james' voice. when i'm in a thrash mood, i can put on MOP or rust in peace, and get off either way. i just fancy metallica.

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

Has anybody heard the new Megademo named "Sleepwalker"?



If not, I'll post it to one of those upload sites... it's pretty cool.

New demo (Sleepwalker):
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XZDP8M72

[binnie]

Seems like Mustiane has finally got his shit together and realised that Megadeth still has legs creatively and as a business.

after years of dicking around and bad business decisions (the 90s) he's finally seeing sense: release records that people want, tour reguarly, put out live DVD's etc etc...

And the Gigantitour is a great way to increase the legacy...

[perilousepete]

yeah that's sweet, hopefully other bands will see the same light

Sleepwalker would fit right in on Rust In Peace. Fuckin great song.
Abominations is smelling like the album of the year.

Oh, yeah, & as far as the Met vs Deth debate... I think Megadeth was better when they were at their best, but Metallica was more consistant for a longer period of time.
If I had to choose, I would take Megadeth

not even close. Megadeth kicks Metallicas ass.

TSHF was awsome and judging from the new tune "Sleepwalker" it looks as if Megadeth keeps continuing the heavy stuff where as Metallica lost its edge a long long long, long time ago.

Absolutely true. With every "released" track, I am anticipating this album more and more.

Without Metallica there would be no Megadeth so who fucking cares. They both rock. Metallica has gone the way of commercialism so it was good that Dave got the the old heave ho else there would be no none commercialized Megadeth embarrassing the short haired old men that cant hold thir liquor anymore.

It RUUUUUUUUULLLES!!!!!!

Much, much rawer than Rude Awakening, which was a little polished, IMO.

It doesn't sound as beefy, maybe because it was an outdoor gig and the bass frequencies have less BOOM at those, but the performance is INSANE, confirming what I've thought for a while: this is the best line-up of Megadeth for live shows. I've seen 'em in 1994, 1997, 2000 and their last tour here, and the current line-up flattens all the others live (even when Junior, Menza and Friedman were in the band).

It's shot really proffessionally, maybe a few too many edits at times but that's probably because the band don't move around too much.

The crowd is off the chart: singing loud as hell, and clearly fueling the bands perfomance.

Only complaint, the performance of "Peace Sells..." isn't as dazzling as the rest (I'm nit-picking now) and of course we could all think of songs we'd of liked in the setlist......

I'm so stoked right now! This footage is trully awesome.

[cMb]

I'll get this at lunch time today...

Five Megadeth congs that just absolutely smoke anything Metallica ever did:

As much as i'd have loved to hear more of the older material on the new DVD, I repsect Dave for playing his output from the past 13 years.

That way, megadeth doesn't become a nostalgic band, a "hear the hits" band. The stuff from TSHF sounds killer live!

[binnie]

Well, I don't want to re-open the whole Metallica vs Megadeth thing, cos there are pages and pages of it back there, and I'm a fan of both bands.

"Dread and the fugitive Mind" and "Kill the King" are the best songs Mustaine has written after Countdown....

Both absolute killers.

I'm watching the new DVD now & I think Dave mixes new & old material as good as any band thats been around 20+ years.
They need to drop that fuckin weak-ass 'Tout la Monde' shit from the set tho...:mad: I always hated that song.

Whoa!! I love 'Return'! The lead work in that song is incredible. I thought that song & the original 'Hangar' played back-to-back was one of the highlights of the new DVD.

I was going through this thread & you seem to have a pretty good knowledge of Megadeth, so I'm kind of surprised you would single out 'Return' as poor song...

I would rank it in my top 5 or 10 post-RIP songs (excluding TSHF), & easily the highlight of TWNAH.

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

It's OK.... but it doesn't deserve the title "Hangar"...

It's good on it's own, but it's hard not to compare it to the far superior Hangar 18.

[binnie]

It's not a strong song in it's own right (bit of unintentional sefl-parody really), but it works really well when played back to back with Hanger 18!

I feel ya. The sequels never match up to the originals.

I kind of saw it as Dave's 'answer'(so to speak) to Metallicas 'Unforgiven' & 'Unforgiven II', 2 of the biggest pieces of shit in the whole Met catalog.

When the 'Hangars' are played back to back, it's almost like an extended remix or something. :cool: Like, 'Here's another 4 minutes of sick solos!'

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

Yeah, I guess I'm just jealous because I can't play either one :D

Disconnect, 1000 Times Goodbye, and Dread And Fugitive Mind were the highlights for me. Return To Hangar sounded like a watered down version of Hangar 18, but it was ok. I liked the second part of When with the Am I Evil? riff.

I agree entirely: "Dread..." smokes anything else on that record.

Disconnect and 1000 times...could have benefited from beefier production, more ummph in the drums and bass.

I really like the concept of 1000 times... and the chorus is killer, but I really think they over did the phone message thing.

I agree, they did overdo the phone conversation stuff. Even so, that is one of the better Megadeth tunes in recent years, one of my favorites...great song! I'd like to hear the live version of it without all the phone shit cluttering it up. That song, and Blackmail The Universe are the best Megadeth songs since Countdown, IMO.

[Shamrock]

I am gonna be honest... I prefer Megadeth over Metallica, however, Kill 'em All and Ride the Lightning are extremely tight albums. Motorbreath is an amazing song, and even though the music for The Four Horseman was written by Mustaine, it is still a tight song... although Mechanix (Mustain's version of 4 horseman) is also amazing.

However, the very second that Megadeth came out with Rust in Peace I will side with Megadeth over Metallica anyday. Rust in Peace is amazing. The guitar in the song Poison was the Cure is ridiculous.

Peace out fellas

I know what you mean.

I hope they come over here and do a proper tour (it would take all of a week out of their schedules) rather than just hitting the festivals, where they'll play a 45 minute set.

I'm hoping Roadrunner will push them to tour outside of the US properly, which they've only done intermittently in recent years.

If Dave's as psyched about the album as he's purporting to be, I can't see any reason why he wouldn't get his ass straight on the road though...

Yeah, there are cheesy bits but overall I think it's better than Rude Awakening, which was too slick IMO.

The Argentina show is rawer and the band is tighter (to these ears), which seems more in keeping with a Megadeth live gig to me.

However, the version of "Peace Sells.." is stronger on Rude Awakening...

I agree, and I don't understand what the point is in redoing that particular song and putting it on the new album, either, but it's not bad for what it is. At least it sounds more like its respective original than "Return To Hangar" did.

[binnie]

I agree that it sounds pretty cool, and that it shouldn't be on the new record.

However, at least "Return to Hanger" was a slightly different song, rather than a carbon copy. Sucks on record, but works really welll when they play them back to back live.

But, if I was to put my favorite Megadeth songs on a CDR, then that would the one I would listen to ( maybe I could cram 3 or 4 Metallica songs on there as well).....

Metallica mostly in recent years, but their early records were great all the way through...no skipable tracks on those. From Load on Metallica's music was a sea of shit as you put it. Megadeth has had plenty of stinkers on their last few albums, but their worst songs have been better than Metallica's best songs the past decade or so. Metallica shouldn't even be in the same conversation as Megadeth nowdays as Megadeth is so much better than Metallica now it's laughable. Metallica died with Cliff.

The songs sound great. I'm hoping for some nice, thick, chunky guitar tones on the album. If the guitar sound is paper thin, even the most kick-ass song is ruined.

IMO 'Gears' is the weakest of these new trax, although it is still light-years ahead of that 'Tout La Monde' crap. The main riff to 'Gears' is just kind of basic.

'Sleepwalker' sounds like a return to the 'State-of-the-art Speed Metal' we all know and love.

'Washington' has a nice 'thrashy' middle part with some nice solo-ing going on in there too.

I don't understand the hate for 'Kick The Chair'. I love that song & I love that album. 'Back In the Day' is a classic!

I hear people say this a lot.

Cliff was into all kinds of music & I can't help but think Metallicas path would have been quite similar even if he had remained.

On the 'Cliff Em All' video, Cliff claims ZZ Top as an influence, while all the other guys are trying to prove how 'metal' they are by dropping obscure names like Venom & Diamond Head.

Besides that, the $5.98 ep fuckin' kicked ass!

But! There is still no excuse for 'Mama Said' or 'Unforgiven 2'. Or 'Nothing Else Matters. Or whatever that piece of shit was called that they did with Ja Rule.

cmb,

I love Kick the Chair too....

This probably means that there may be a deluxe release of the album, which will include a "Making Of" DVD.

Well, they are on Roadrunner now right?

SO there will be standard and deluxe editions at the relase date, and if the album does well they will release a tour edition 6-9 months later with an extra track.

I'd bet a kidney on it.

[binnie]

On a side note, the guitar tone on that record sounded really cool, hope it transferms to cd.

Here's a clip of Dave talking about his new guitar. Hardly captivating, but thought some of you might find it interesting.

The girl who interviews him is a moron.

Hope they sound better than at the RRHOF ceremony for you. Enjoy!

[binnie]

I've seen VR live twice before and they were smoking!

Not holding out for any Van Halen covers in the encore though....

[binnie]

The album version of "Sleepwalker" is on a promo CD with the UK version of Metal Hammer magazine.

The live recordings don't do this song justice: it ROOOOOLESS!!!!!

The guitar tone is possibly the best I've ever heard from Megadeth, it's up there with Kill the King.

The tone is really like the early thrash bands, like Exodus "Bonded By Blood" it's so taught, thick and raw.

Also, the bass recording is much higher in the mix so the song goes through you, it really kicks.

This album is going to sound so killer!!!

From Blabbermouth:

MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine has posted the following message in the "Forums" section of the band's official web site:

"I am starting the pack for the road and really look forward to playing in the States for you again [as part of the HEAVEN AND HELL tour with MACHINE HEAD]. I know that the boys are packing and pacing back and forth too right now, and we can probably all count the hours before we take the stage again.

"This segment of the tour 'promises' to allow more time for us to play to you, so those of you who saw the Canadian leg, and had concerns about our set-length can 'come on down' and join us if you missed us. Also, as some of you have seen on Megadeth.com and myspace/megadeth, we have a new and beautiful video with Cristina Scabbia [LACUNA COIL] for 'A Tout Le Monde' and I hope you like it. We are happy with it, and this all came out of an idea to re-do this for a 'b-side for Japan.' And while the title change was not my idea, believe me, being able to see a label excited is nice.

"And now it is time to get serious about this record. We are doing some final maneuvers with our last stretch of promotion before the release, and I have been busy on the old 'dog and bone' with Andy Sneap working on our edit for the single 'Washington Is Next!'

"Ah, the inner workings of the guessing games we have to play."


Cool, it looks like we'll be getting a longer set from Dave & Co. on the US leg of the tour :killer:

The only bad news here is the 'edit' for 'Washington is Next'. Edit usually means 'We lopped off half the guitars solos & eliminated the really heavy thrashy part'.

We are talking about Dave Mustaine and RoadRunner.... the edit will be the version you are talking about. The thrashy uncut version will be on the special edition re-release.

The "Hidden Treasures" CD is out before the new record, B sides, rarities and soundtrack recordings are on it I believe.

I'm looking forward to hearing it, always thought Megadeth put some good material on soundtracks...

Is that a re-release of the original Hidden Treasures CD? I already have it...

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

The Hidden Treasures cd would have been perfect for the "A Tout le Monde 2007" song....

Actually it could well be, I'm not sure. It comes out 30th of April over here.

I know it's ot "Go To Hell" on it, if that's any help...

[binnie]

Damn right it would be.

Having heard the studio version of "Sleepwalker", I can tell you that the two songs will not sit well together on one album....

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

1. Gears of War
2. A Tout Le Monde lame-ass remix
3. Sleepwalker
4. Washington is Next

Find the oddball here....

[binnie]

Really, I don't think it's ever been released over here.

Sorry, my bad...

Hidden Treasures is an EP by Megadeth, released in 1995. It is a collection of previously released non-album tracks, including soundtrack and compilation songs. The American version of the album is currently out of print, but the Japanese version is still available as of 2006. It was also released in Europe as a Special Bonus CD for Youthanasia, and is to be re-released in Europe during April 2007

No biggie, it's nothing special.

Any rare Medadeth stuff is cool by me!!

It really isn't worth buying. 99 Ways to Die is a pretty cool track though.

Nope. I got my copy off of ebay, and that one track is the very reason I wanted it, as it's not on any of the greatest hits compilations that I know of...Capitol Punishment nor Back To The Start.

[binnie]

I'll pick it up anyway just because I like to have complete catalogues..

Thanks for the offer though Merry!

[binnie]

This record is gonna ROOOLE!!!!

If these tunes are typical, it's shaping up to be the best Megadeht record since Countdown...

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

Megadeth could really be extremely popular if this record becomes another Rust in Peace.

Do you know if these are original versions, or did Dave 'remix & remaster' these like the rest?

Either way, this is a kick-ass CD.
