quite a few metal fans here, but everyones still iffy about megadeth, I personally think you cant go wrong with mustaine, hes a dream boat... This song is a bit so so if you ask me though, maybe after they produce the cripe out of it itll be phet.

Mustaine sounded winded while singing this, which happens to everybody sometimes. The Drovers and Lomenzo work well as a band with Mustaine for Megadeth I think.

he always sounds winded.

I heard something about how he actually struggles sing in lower pitch, his voice is very whiny if you've seen old school megadeth like Hangar 18

I have a hard time getting into Megadeth, this clip didn't help. I've heard some great stuff from Chris Pollan, and all I can find out is that he had something to do with Megadeth at some point.

Dave's voice always sounds a lot better recorded than live.

I saw them do this when I went to Gigantour back in September, I thought it was pretty cool then and I still think it's pretty good. I'm a long time Megadeth fan so I'll definitely buy the new album when it comes out.

I could barely hear the bass on this clip, but having heard black label society i know hes a nice bassplayer.

I heard Wasted Years in there too. I think the first YouTube comment sums it up nicely: "best iron maiden song in years".

I lost interest after Countdown, personally.

Sounds pretty good! Can't wait for the new album! James sounds awesome too. Finally a real bassist.

Thanks. I'll be seeing them again in a couple weeks, opening for Black Sabbath with Dio on vocals !

:bassist:

Should be killlerrrrr.


Me dos:hyper:

As for the song... meh
Then again, the sound is terrible, so I'll reserve my judgment until I hear the CD version.

Finally a real bassist? So DAVID ELLEFSON wasn't a real bassist?


Megadeth is far from in their prime, bummed I'm missing the H&H, Megadeth and Down show though. I'm glad I've seen Megadeth, they use to be my favorite band.

As far as I was concerned, without Ellefson, it's no longer Megadeth.

I like it, I like Gears Of War better though. I agree about the Ellefson part, without him it isn't Megadeth its just Megadave. I'm seeing them in March with Dio and Down!

EDIT: Anybody else not like Drover's solo's? (I think thats the guitarists name?) I really don't like his solo's from GOW or WIN.

So it wasn't Megadave when DAVE Ellefson was in the band?

I'm talkin' more about it not being Megadeth anymore but more like Dave Mustaine's band.

Dave + Dave = Deth

Haha, I don't know, it's late.

Ehh, it's pretty good...It's no Holy Wars but it's good to see them still shredding.

I love Megadeth, old stuff the best but I always check out their new albums. I have a lot of respect for that band. Mustaine is one of the hardest working guys in metal for sure.

Ellefson is an amazing bassist, big part of their sound too IMO. Too bad he's not with them any more.
