Megadeth

Recommended Posts

Guest Dmann2000

I dunno, I've been on a Megadeth/Mustaine kick lately. Never heard much pre-Countdown, just wondering what the consensus here is on them.

 

Not sure what my fav track is currently, I dig "Peace Sells...", "Hanger 18" and "Symphony of Destruction".

My favorite album is actually the "greatest hits" comp, Capitol Punishment. Otherwise, I'd have to say Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?.

Though I love the old classic stuff, my favorite album by far is Youthanasia. From beginning to end, the album rocks.

Still you guys gotta admit, the opening riff of "Hanger 18" is kick ass.

I'd agree with Capitol Punishment, though the double live disc is fucking awesome also

I like Symphony of Destruction, Skin of my teeth, and Sweating Bullets. Don't know which album they are on though.

For me, probably Rust In Peace.

 

But nothing can pwn that funky beat from Peace Sells.

Favourite album has to be Rust In Peace or Youthanasia, and The World Needs A Hero (underrated IMO)

 

Favourite songs are

 

Disconnect

Trust

Almost Honest

Hanger 18

Holy Wars

Symphony of Destruction

Rust In Peace

In My Darkest Hour

Reckoning Day

 

Little Question: Who played Lead Guitar on Megadeth's first album (hint: he's still playing in a semi-famous band)

Didn't Kerry King play lead for Megadeth for a while?

Song: Hangar 18

 

Album: TWNAH

 

 

These guys were the first band to get me into metal, and ironically I got into them by listening to their lightest album Risk. Then, I got Capitol Punishment and became a fucking droogie.

'Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?' - The album and title track are Megadeth's best and most technically sound work.

 

I still play it all the time.

BUMP

 

Yes. He played at their first few shows before Mustaine found Chris Poland (or Kerry King decided Slayer was to be his main focus).

 

Anyway, I think Peace Sells is a better album than Rust in Peace, and My Last Words has GOT to be the most underrated Megadeth song. Damn, that song rocks.

 

Anyone thinking about buying Mustaine's solo album? I might download a couple of songs to get the feel of the album, but hopefully it'll be a bit faster than the last few Megadeth records.

I'm sorry, but I have tried to get into megadeth but mustaine's vocals just suck cock and ruin every song.

 

The only one I can tolerate is hangar 18 and that's SOLEY because of the kick-ass riff.

I think it's unfair to compare Megadeths and metallica's early works, because in all honestly, a lot of Metallica's shit at that point was written or at leats co-written by Mustaine. I mean, the dude had writing credits up until freaking master of puppets.

It was only 5 songs?

 

And what's the difference between "Mechanix" and "The Four Horsemen", besides lyrics?
