2005 is your last chance to see Megadeth live

After 20 years, Dave Mustaine calls it quits after bringing Megadeth back from the dead and recording a kickass album that recalls their glorious early years:

Never was a big fan of Megadeth. Only liked a few songs.

I wouldn't say a few songs but they really weren't up there in terms of metal bands that I liked. They had probably 4 maybe 5 songs I liked but I could never really dig them for some reason.

I think Dave Mustaines best work was in Metallica. The only Megadeth song I like is Symphony of Destruction.

Megadeth kicks ass, so this is kinda sad to hear. I hope they're coming to Portland on their final tour (or at least close by). I've never seen Megadeth live and I don't want to miss out on that for good.

Here's something I read on theprp.com:

Back From The Deth - wookubus

Megadeth are plotting both a "greatest hits" CD and a "DVD from hell" for release next year. Details are currently being firmed up.

I just started in getting into Megadeth a month ago. They BETTER come to Philly. I gotta see them before they're done.

[jshorr]

Big Megadeth fan but......really haven't been able to get into anything since Cryptic Writiings.....they are great live though....so maybe I will check this out one last time....

[screwkick]

See Anthrax - Better band with staying power.

[Backlash]

I really like Megadeth. Great band, great songs. I haven't really heard any of their stuff since Youthinasia though.

Their early stuff is pretty good, but Rust in Peace, Countdown to Extinction, and Youthinasia are my favorites.

[PsyClerk]

Youthanasia was a fantastic album. I enjoyed songs from other albums, but Youthanasia was an album I could listen to from beginning to end.

[Xevious]

Peace Sells is a great song. That is one of the most hatefull songs ever written

[rockhero]

Megadeth is ok, except for "Sweating Bullets" which has the most lame voice-over thing I've ever heard. "Hey me, it's the real me"

[cheapass Gundam]

Their current tour is in smaller clubs, should be great compared to the last time I saw them, doing the Clash of Titans tour in stadiums.

[Backlash]

Too bad none of my friends here in Dallas like Megadeth. Wonder if my wife would go with me? She really likes Addicted to Chaos :)

[HeadRusch]

I'd have to agree with some of the other posters here....I got into Megadeth in the mid 80's when I caught Peace Sells on MTV. I picked up Peace Sells, then So Far, So Good...and then finally Rust in Peace, and out of all of them, I'd say I listened to 2 or 3 tracks off each disc. I found the rest to be just too....I dunno.....crappy, to get into :)

As opposed to, say Master Of Puppets, which I can play front to back day in, and day out. Megadeth in the 90's became a "radio singles" band......the stuff that made the radio wasn't bad, but it wasn't really metal either.

I just can't say I ever heard a Megadeth album that I could play front to back and find something to like in each song.....including the most recent one.

I'd say my tastes have changed, but I could make the same statement back in 88......Slayer? Many whole albums....Motorhead? Same thing......Anthrax? Every song (with a few exceptions)..but MEgadeth it was always "pop the tape in the player and play song 1, 2, and 7" or something ;)

Sweatin' Bullets
Symphony of Destruction

...yeah, that about does it for the Megadeth songs I know. To their credit, they never put out a "Load" like album like some other former heavy-metal heroes.

[Backlash]

I like Load. Not as good as their earlier stuff, but still a good album.

Now St. Anger - it sucks. Probably could have been ok, but the production was HORRIBLE. Could they have ruined the drums more?

[redgopher]

OP, your signature has reminded me how much I love cheerleaders.

[Nirvanaguy777]

Wow I better....wait I dont like megadeth, ok Im cool.

I like Megadeth, and don't give a shit whether I'm cool or not.
