News on the new Megadeth album

[Mr. Vengeance]

I know merrykissmass will be into this-

MEGADETH's Dave Mustaine has revealed some new song titles, Including a LED ZEPPELIN cover: "So, here are the new song titles that I know you know: 'Gears Of War', 'Washington Is Next', 'United Abominations'. And here are some other titles: 'Amerikhastan', 'Blessed Are The Dead', 'Never Walk Alone' and... We finally covered a Led Zeppelin song - 'Out On The Tiles'."

I gotta hear Megadeth doing Zeppelin.....

[Panamark]

MegaDave getting out the LED !

Me wishes him godspeed, Im still agonizing over my
own recording of "The Immigrant Song"...

When you take on a Zep song, it has to be done real good..

It will be awesome.... but Immigrant song is too short.

I'm really lookin forward to this record.

But I have to say that covering a Zep tune sounds like a bad idea to me....

I partially agree. A Zep cover sounds like something a band would throw on a Greatest Hits cd as an extra track.

there's that, but also I think Zep songs are generally a no go area, as you can't improve on magic can you?

It'd be like Triuvium covering "Peace Sells": why both?

[binnie]

I heard a rumour that there was gonna be another Megadeth live DVD too, anyone heard out on this?

[Dave's Bitch]

if dave can do a great version of "these boots" then he can do anything

dave's voice doesn't really seem into it but the guitars sound sweet and they look badass....although the new dude seems a little on the chunky side

Maybe but Megadeth's cover of Paranoid was awesome, IMO. Then again that's only Sabbath.

Thanks for posting that, much appreciated....

If that new song "Sleepwalker" is any indication, then this is going to be one killer CD!

Sleepwalker
Music & Lyric Dave Mustaine

I should be calling collect from jail
For the things I commit each night in my head
Like last night in my sleep I got to snuff you
But then I woke up again, safe in my little bed

No one is safe when I close my eyes; I come to take your life

I get to force your untimely disappearance
Each night in my dreams, when I'm fast asleep
I close my eyes and you just vanish soon as I
Lay down my head when I'm dead to the whole wide world

No one is safe when I close my eyes; I come to take your life
And then I wake up and it was all just a dream
And everything is the same

Sleepwalker - Did I give you concrete shoes?
And throw you off of a bridge
Sleepwalker - When I lay down to sleep
Pray your soul's mine to keep, I feel you near me
Go to sleep, Sleepwalker

Just taking a stroll; don't go to sleep! Here's some toothpicks for your eyes!

You always make an excellent cadaver
I roll your body up in a carpet to make music in the
Trunk of my limousine, wrapped up in a rug
A fitting end, is that I send you up the river like a punk

No one is safe when I close my eyes; I come to take your life

The angel of death is pissed off at me again
Just because I got to put you out of my misery
It doesn't matter, I am without fear
Now you're dead, I won't shed another bloody tear for you

No one is safe when I close my eyes; I come to take your life
I'm calling down the thunder, then you'll sleep with the fishes
The answer to all of my wishes

Sleepwalker - Did I tell you I was in movies?
Then dump you garroted, lying naked in a ditch
Sleepwalker - Everyday, another way, I know you can hear me

Solo - Mustaine
Solo - Drover

I think you'd look nice in a Colombian necktie
Should stop your tongue from wagging the dog
No more stupidity from you, as I pull your tongue through
For a smile from ear to ear, now there's nothing to hear

No one is safe when I close my eyes; I come to take your life
And then I wake up and it was all just a dream
And everything is still the same

Sleepwalker - Did I give you concrete shoes?
And throw your body off of a bridge
Sleepwalker - When I lay down to sleep
Pray your soul is mine to keep, I feel you near me

Sleepwalker - Or did I tell you I was in movies?
Then dump you garroted, lying naked in a ditch
Sleepwalker - Everyday, another way, I know you can hear me

Sleepwalker - Did I buy you the farm?
Put a horse head in your bed
Sleepwalker - When I lay down to sleep
Pray your soul is mine to keep, I feel you near me

Sleepwalker - Everyday
Everyday another way
Sleepwalker - When I lay down to sleep
Pray your soul is mine to keep, I know you can hear me
