If you go please tell Dave to shut the **** up about Metallica already. He hasn't been in the band in 40 years and is highly successful with his own band. His constant pathetic whining about them is old and tired. Thanks and gig 'em.
20 minutes?
Go.
Go.
none

Got the green light from the wife. I grew up blaring Metallica and Megadeth. Going to get something signed for my dad as well for a gift. These guys aren't getting any younger so might as well make sure I go.
Had the pleasure of meeting them on the "Cryptic Writings" tour. They were all super cool. Marty Friedman is impressively short.

That's my thought as well. I've been a huge fan of both bands for two decades now, and I've repeatedly had the same thought. Dave just can't let it go. Although, like most artists, I wonder if it's that obsession that drives him to be as talented as he is? Regardless, I'm sick of hearing about it. Megadeth is a god-level, seminal thrash band that speaks for itself. There's no reason for the guy to kee dwelling on a failed six-month-stint he had with a band forty years ago, even if that band is Metallica.
I saw Megadeth in 2005 in Chicago with Dream Theater, Anthrax and Fear Factory. One of the best concerts ive been too.
Dave stopped in the middle of a song because a kid was getting squished in the front row. Threw him and his mom some stage passes.
Pretty cool IMO

You get that if you takeaway Dave's songs and riffs, Metallica is just an also ran metal band from the Bay Area at a time when all the metal bands were coming out of LA.John Matrix said:Know Your Enemy said:

Dave has a right to get credit for his music. Just like some of the other rockers out there who had their music publishing credit taken by other musicians. Like the long list of players in Ozzy's band.
It would be cool to go to the Album Release party in Austin. I thought about going to see Megadeth in Austin but, I saw Megadeth about 7-8 years ago in Sydney and Dave just can't sing anymore. Also not sure how the chemistry will be without Dave Ellefson.
Humanity Still Producing New Art As Though Megadeth's 'Rust In Peace' Doesn't Already Exist
Quote:
WASHINGTONSaying that any further endeavors of technical skill and imagination were pointless, experts at the Smithsonian Institution reportedly questioned Monday why new art was still being produced after the pinnacle of aesthetic and creative potential was reached in 1990 with Megadeth's fourth studio album, Rust In Peace. "As the unquestioned apex of the entire history of the creative arts, Rust In Peace is the finest and last necessary piece of human expressionbut it's almost as though current so-called artists are completely oblivious to Dave Mustaine's blistering, transcendent guitar work on 'Hangar 18,'" said Smithsonian curator of contemporary art Joanna Marsh, gesturing dismissively in the direction of a massive self-portrait by photorealist Chuck Close, completed in 2000. "It's not just incredibly disrespectful to keep making art; in many ways, it's actually quite sad. The deluded people churning out this worthless garbage just can't seem to reconcile themselves to the fact that their pathetic little sculptures and films and novels and whatnot will always pale in comparison to the brilliantly inspired, heart-stopping tempo shift halfway through 'Holy Wars… The Punishment Due.'" At press time, a spokesperson from the Centre Pompidou in Paris confirmed the museum's plans to throw out the contents of an entire wing and leave a massive, pure white space where the track "Lucretia" will be played on loop at full volume.

I wonder how much of Dave talking about Metallica is due to him getting asked questions about Metallica in interviews. To a certain extent, it makes sense, as he was a founding member of two of the Big Four in thrash metal.Know Your Enemy said:

It's ironic that a former teenage metalhead has to get the green light from his wife to leave the house. I sincerely mean no disrespect to the OP, but come on…. how did it sound in your head as you were typing it?
He can choose not to answer them. Or at least not answer them like a whiny ****.Claude! said:I wonder how much of Dave talking about Metallica is due to him getting asked questions about Metallica in interviews.

I mean, you can also choose to ignore him. The greatness of Hangar 18 or Train of Consequences aren't gated behind an interview segment.Know Your Enemy said:He can choose not to answer them.

Only way I can avoid it is to stop following all rock/metal/music sites that report on it, really. Then that means missing all the other news I want to see. And never did I say that his whining made me not listen to his music.Claude! said:I mean, you can also choose to ignore him.

Yeah, maybe if he had a coach/manager/handler. But, he'd also have to be "coachable" and I don't think Dave is.Know Your Enemy said:He can choose not to answer them.

He's freaking Dave Mustaine which is exactly what I want him to be. He's raw which is exactly why I like him. You never know what he might say but it will be real and genuine, not some corporate product.

My wife is a PA and some times works late shifts. I just had to make sure our schedules lined up for this evening.
Pretty good time tonight!
How many people showed up?
450 Pre-order sales then more people showed up for retail sales.
I got in the pre-order line at 10:55. I was at the signing table at 1:15AM. Got a few words out of Dave and the band but it was move, move, move. If you didn't pre-order, you had to wait for all the pre-order line guys to cycle through then get in line. Very well executed though.

Got a couple signed!
Nice. I contemplated driving down for this.
Yeah, I couldn't pass it up living so close. I would have traveled a bit too.
Great to see the younger generation enjoying Megadeth. Cool fans and crowd last night. I'm pretty sure one chick was coked out and blew a guy behind the record store. Other than that, pretty tame.

reminds me of the time I saw def leppard in a wal mart parking lot.
I just found out that they cover a great old Hagar tune on this album and Sammy actually guests on the song. Sounds kickass!
Guess it's digital only.
Must have been a late addition
MarathonAg12 thanks for sharing. Cool stuff.
Really good record overall. I liked Dystopia a bit more.
I was in Lubbock and stopped at a pizza joint and they had this album going. Pretty cool. Thought it was 1989 again. lol.

Oh, look. It's Dave whining about Metallica again. Shocking turn of events.
DAVE MUSTAINE Says He Was 'The Alpha Male' While He Was In METALLICA
DAVE MUSTAINE Says He Was 'The Alpha Male' While He Was In METALLICA
Saw them at Cynthia Woods last Friday. They still jam pretty damn hard. Even the wife enjoyed it and she's far from a metalhead like me.
The only thing tireder than Dave whining about Metallica is the people whining about Dave whining about Metallica.Know Your Enemy said:

DAVE MUSTAINE Is Still Hoping To Write New Music With JAMES HETFIELD: 'The World Really Does Want Us To Do That'
Quote:
In a new interview with Vinyl Writer Music, MEGADETH leader Dave Mustaine said that he has been "secretly hoping there'd be a day" when he could write music again with his former bandmate in METALLICA, James Hetfield. He added: "I think the world really does want us to do that, and I think there is a pretty good possibility of it happening down the line."
He continued: "I do think that it's possible that one day James is going to come around and that he and I are going to be able to do something together again. I guess that's one of the things that has always kept me pushing forward. I think it'd be good for MEGADETH, and it could be great for METALLICA too."
Listening to the song Night Stalkers for the first time. It's a heavy jam.
