I'm pretty sure that I remember reading Mustaine say somewhere not too long ago that back on the Clash of the Titans tour the bands started out rotating, but before long Slayer had to open every show because their fans gave so much abuse to anyone playing before them. However, I don't think they opened in ATL. Maybe that was early in the tour? I dunno... Anyway, I can't imagine it would be any easier on Megatwat's ego to open for Slayer nowadays.
That shitty grunge band, Alice in Chains doesn't count in this equation.
FUCK YES.

I guess I should check out Megadeth's latest. I loved Peace Sells and listened to So Far, So Good quite a bit back back in the day. I suposed I have missed out on some good albums, in between.
But I can't say that I really care.
I really hope that Slayer headlines his show. Slayer and freakin' Testament. I'm stoked about this show.

How does he do it, Stew? He’s still quite a fan of self-plagiarism, kids – I believe the French call it, “self-reflexivity.†But Mustaine’s always had tunnel vision when it comes to the tropes. Sorta good thing, actually. There are several surprising moments here on a wholly unsurprising record, which makes me feel like I’m listening to a new Obituary record again for good reason. Let’s forget that Mustaine’s had more face-lifts than Jacko. Forget that he now looks like Carrot Top.

Endgame exists to pimp motherfucker’s prowess. Mustaine’s great for that, and a lot of the tracks here are nothing more than (forced) repeated viewings of Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Which is to say they are self-consciously overloaded, artistically incoherent, often excessively fuckin’ techie. But there are four really good tracks here, maybe even one great track. “1,320†is a fuckin’ great track. Drag-racing ode for the gear-headed oil scrub way more into thumbing kit car mags than sticking it to some glazed wormhole that more than likely bears striking resemblance to one of the Olsen twins. Were it not for the hyperbolic oom-pah accompanying the lead riff, the Kill ‘Em All elephant might be a little more noticeable there in the corner, shitting out a day’s worth of peanuts all over your ‘Maiden Vans.
“This Day We Fight,†while not as together as “1,320†is all too adept at pulling bits and pieces from all sorts of places beneath, between, and behind Peace Sells… we never even knew existed. Mustaine works pathetic, self-aggrandizing pastiche into a few fuck, yeah moments. To wit: We have the sneering, pained upper-register that too easily drops into the whispered bullshit more befitting of Stallone’s Cobra. Mustaine remarkably makes lyrics like, “Wet with your blood I sharpen my sword / No turning the other cheek like a coward / Come tomorrow I may lay down and die / But not on this day!†work. And they work fuckin’ well.
Yeah, yeah, yeah: “The Hardest Part of Letting Go…†and the title-track, and “Bodies,†and “44 Minutes†are the big-league suck. But even in the record’s most repugnant moments, i.e. “How the Story Ends,†which may as well be playing over the credits in the next die/tits/fuck/die/tits/die flick, Mustaine runs another fuck, yeah riff right up your ass (fast-forward to 1:05). This is no more than pecking around finer Metal-Up-Yr-Ass permutations of “No Remorse,†and I’m left shameless, gah-gah eyed, all whisky dick’d and looking for someone to buy me half-oldel, clab langoon. Prease?

I wandered over to their MySpace this afternoon, thinking I should probably check it out. This song rages, but because he is making a pastiche of early Megadeth. Much the way Metallica did with Death Magnetic, which I haven't purchased, either. (And I listened to both sets of these fuckers religiously, back in '86 and '87 and '88.) But at least this song has the same sort of "fuck yeah" feeling that "Wake Up Dead" does. Unlike the few tracks which I heard from Death Magnetic, which just seemed hollow.
Then I won't waste my time.Spewtilator wrote:haha not reallyKnucklehead wrote:I suposed I have missed out on some good albums, in between.

I'll make the disclaimer right now -- I never got Rush and I never got Kiss. Now that I've gotten that out of the way...
Geddy might be a good bass-player, Alex might be a good guitar player and Neil is obviously Neil.
I will go ahead and say it -- Geddy has one of the most annoying voices of all time. And the keyboards -- my god.
I'll grant you "Working Man" -- the first 2/3's of the song is fantastic. "Temple of Syrinx" -- rock the fuck on. The rest of their discography I could definitely leave. "Fly By Night"? "Free Will"? Please.
There sound is way too sterile for me and it reminds me too much of Junior High.
You got a ton of points for Eggnog, but this puts you back in negative territory. Repent, my friend! Repent!
