Rust in Peace is such a great album. But that remaster that's on Spotify is some straight up garbage.

Yep - the remasters on Spotify are bad. Not being able to listen to the originals just means that I have stopped listening to Megadeth. The newer stuff is poo poo.

I've seen MegaDeth twice live and it's a good show. Though both times, the band before MegaDeth was better. Dream theatre the one year and... I can't remember the other one. Children of Bodom or in flames or something.

I'm trying to get a mental picture of a guy who likes Bodom and Dream Theatre more than Megadeth. I'm picturing someone drinking expensive wine while watching Tim Burton movies and pontificating on all the nuances that his casual fans just don't get

When I saw Megadeth in tha PDX Mustaine told the worst story about smoking weed because he smelt it. Good show bad mic skillz.

Megadeth is great, definitely the best Big 4 band, Rust in Peace is quintessential thrash metal, everything up to and including Youthanasia is great, saw 'em live earlier this year and they still kick rear end, Dystopia is a good album.

Thank you, good night, rattle your goddamn head.

The cavaleras are doing a tour now wherein they play roots in its entirety and it had been forever since I listened to it so that's what I did to get hype for the show... but it was so bad it convinced me to abandon the whole venture

He was a bit of a religious loony beforehand since he was raised as a Jehovah's Witness, but he definitely went off the deep end with 9/11.

The Under the Sign of Hell reissue is still probably the worst of all time but I'm listening to this one now and it's uh

It's not good

The First Strike Still Deadly Testament album is probably the best though I actually prefer a lot of the rerecordings

I feel like the entirety of metal is just an attempt to make Lord of the Rings cool. It's never gonna be cool guys. Get over it you loving nerds.

quote:

Far beyond the mountains and tresses of the sea
Dark horizons black will rumble with the voice of prophecy
We are standing steadfast against a gathering dark
As our battle-iron flashes countless foul beasts will fall

Take a chance, roll the dice
Is this hell or paradise?
In this land of high adventure carve your fate
Forgotten realms, magick spells
Hollowed halls beneath the fells
He’s the master of the evil in deep

He’s the dungeon master

Master of evil, lord of the dark
In catacombs and blackened tomes is where is foul will is wrought
But on the field of battle, see our legions ride
Thunderous hooves like raging storms will sound across the azure sky

Take a chance, roll the dice
Is this hell or paradise?
In this land of high adventure carve your fate
Forgotten realms, magick spells
Hollowed halls beneath the fells
He’s the master of the evil in deep

He’s the dungeon master

We’ve traveled long, we’ve traveled far
With shining steel and morningstar
We call upon the gods of old
In ancient texts it was foretold

We are the legions who will ride into the dawn
The war will take its toll but we will carry on
So raise your banners to the sky and let us hear your battlecries
Now let the horns resound and call for victory
The hordes advance but we are fierce and we are free
So loose your arrows to the sky and raise your magick steel on high

We are the pathfinders, we are the travelers
We are the voices of steel in the night
We are the warriors, we are the sorcerers
And our magicks will light up the sky

Take a chance, roll the dice
Is this hell or paradise?
In this land of high adventure carve your fate
Forgotten realms, magick spells
Hollowed halls beneath the fells
He’s the master of the evil in deep

He’s the dungeon master

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

in high school, i had a 1986 mercury capri with the V6, and no muffler or air conditioning. it was the early 2000s. I blasted the local hard rock station so loud and often that I tore the cones in my rear speakers. i had long, curly hair, and I didn't shower much. it was a more metal time.

Got them WMD's! Got that Pandemic!
Megadeth got me into metal, into playing instruments and broadened my musical spectrum. An older cousin gave me peace sells when I was 12. Dave might be an angry loudmouth, but I love his music and at least he doesn't give a gently caress when he runs his mouth. Plus his wife is milfy, David ellefson continues to be the nicest guy in music and my girlfriend owns megadeth underwear.
His book is also worth a read.

In closing,

i remember watching some mtv interview around 91-92 where he was talking about the song psychotron that it was based on some russian news report he saw on satellite about putting computer chips in soldiers' brains and turning them into cyborgs and how they're gonna take over america
