Guest DR PHIL Report post Posted July 13, 2004 I can't believe there's no love for "wake up dead"! I fucking LOVE that song probably more than any other. BTW I used to despise mustaine's voice as well, but I got used to it and as a matter of fact I'm picking up killing is my business tomorrow. Wake up dead is like three songs in one with all the crazy chord changes and shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anticrombie Report post Posted July 13, 2004 I also love Wake Up Dead. Do me a favor and let me know if the songs are good on the remastered album, brace yourself for the editing job on "These Boots", I hear it sounds like a rap video on MTV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted July 14, 2004 I believe I made my own copy of KIMB due to the fact I just couldn't find it around here. Its beep free. Nancy Sinatra should relax. I'm sure Frank and Mustaine would have gotten along had they hung out. It would be hilarious hearing stories of the two getting drunk on the Las Vegas strip and just being assholes to random people.

AboveAverage484 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2004 You know another Megadeth song that kicks tons of ass? Tornado of Souls, easily one of their top five best songs. I don't ever listen to "These Boots" so I really don't care, in fact the only song I ever listen to off of Killing... anymore is "Mechanix." Go ahead and scold me.

Guest DR PHIL Report post Posted July 15, 2004 So on the remastered version, what exactly do they beep out? I thought they would have just left the song off the album entirely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest GreatOne Report post Posted July 15, 2004 The bleeping was basically everywhere he changed the lyrics--where I think he said they were, in effect, gay. And I don't understand how anyone can prefer Mechanix to Four Horsemen (not just because it's lyrically metal's version of Uptown Girl 'Hey Butthead that dude's going into the bathroom and he's talking all those guys with him' versus the dark imagery of a group that later became the most famous in wrestling history at its time), the faster tempo kills it for me. It's like when Slayer plays Chemical Warfare at double time (like on DOA), it just gets stupid--hell I got an old interview with Kerry King lying around somewhere where he says the same thing for some of the songs during the RIB tour, probably why South of Heaven was slower than the previous albums. But what the hell, to each his own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Baron 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2004 Sorry, when Hammett takes credit for Mustaine's work, there's a problem. Therefore, Mechanix over Four Horsemen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2004 The song's credits doesn't say Hammett helped write the tune. It says written by Hetfield, Ulrich, and Mustaine. Hammett's only contribution was the breakdown solo (the slower part that adds about a minute and a half to the song's length), really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest HungryJack Report post Posted July 17, 2004 I refuse to believe anyone prefers Mechanix over the Horsemen. If ONLY because of the horrid, horrid lyrics. The only good thing about Mechanix is when its played on that double live disc, and Dave goes FUCK YEAH in this super high girly voice. THAT's hilarious.

Guest GreatOne Report post Posted July 18, 2004 Let's see, The horsemen are drawing nearer On leather steeds they ride They've come to take your life On through the dead of night With the Four Horsemen ride Or choose your fate and die!!!!!!!!! vs. Whoever thought you'd be better At turnin' a screw than me I do it for my life Made my drive shaft crank Made my pistons bulge Made my ball bearings melt from the heat (As Butthead asked once, 'Who writes this crap?!')

Styles 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2004 So, anyone else hear the new single "Die Dead Enough". I love it! It gets better each listen. Chris Polen's solos are ripping and there's a frantic double bass ending with "Die Dead Enough" being chanted that's so heavy. I know the whole album has leaked, but Im only listening to DDE since thats the released single. I will patiently wait to hear the rest of The System Has Failed when its out in Sept. Meanwhile, just about 1 more week until all the remixed/remsatered albums are released! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted July 20, 2004 I've seen Slayer a few times, and they've been magnificent every time. Megadeth I've seen twice in totally different venues, and they were absoultey putrid both times. It was basically "DAVE MUSTAINE and three other guys." The sound was geared that way, too. He just looked sloppy and tired of touring when I saw them in 98. Two years after that, their show hadn't changed. The last time I saw Slayer, they did a great job of touching base with their newer evil stuff to set the mood, then gave everyone the breakneck thrashing they wanted. Tom Araya was obviously high as hell, too, and the vocals were right there. King didn't even get too sloppy, which I'll admit he does, but I like it. They're Slayer, not Dream Theater. Screaming divebomb noise solos come with the territory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted July 20, 2004 I have the whole CD and think its great. I'll still buy it though when it comes out. I do my best to support the bands I really do enjoy(Maiden, MEGADETH, etc) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Baron 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2004 I've yet to see Megadeth, so I can't judge. I've seen Slayer twice, and one time, Slayer sounded horrible. I mean the sound was garbage, and this was at Copps Coliseum in Hamilton, I've never witness a bad concert there, except that one. Slayer at the Hershey Centre was pretty good, but not flat out awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
