Regardless of the AI fucking video, today it is a good day to listen to megadeth
whats your favorite megadeth album? personally, the system has failed

I've always liked Youthanasia the most

pretty disappointing to see the countdown end in an ai slop vic tell me my favorite band is coming to an end. would've at least appreciated a whole single instead of like five seconds of a single riff. either way, my favorite will probably always be peace sells but who's buying. i wish i could thank dave for everything he's given.

They could've dropped a whole song tho

>whats your favorite megadeth album?
Peace Sells
>personally, the system has failed
I can't quite put it up there with the 80s albums because the radio rock stuff like Die Dead Enough drags it down for me, but its best songs are great, and it has Chris Poland and Vinnie Colaiuta. So a flawed but still really good album.

Call me whatever but i like the more "commercial" songs of megadeth. They dont hit as hard obviously when it comes to thrash but it has a catchy tune. Another song in the album, tears in a vial, one of my favorite ones, it has a unique melody imo.
Risk is not that bad either.

I uninronically love TSTDaTD and would put it in my top 3. Hated it at first but man it grows on you. Dave's ability to write a catchy hook is very underrated.

>>127393948
>faggots crying about AI slop
riiiiight because before "AI" every piece of art culture created was hand painted, high quality and completely unique.

You do realize that the entire metal genre is just "hey we invented a distortion pedal" right? With out that Slayer would just be Dick Dale and the Deltones.

>>127393880 (OP)
I'm glad Dave is wrapping it up.
I couldn't name a memorable Megadeth song post-2000. Even Breadline wipes the floor with anything released in the last 25 years.

>>127394105
>heavy Megadeth
>pop commercial Megadeth
>weird shit like Risk
For me, it's the overall versatility. I like Megadeth (Dave) because unlike other Big 80's Bands, he can actually write more than one type of song. I hate to bring up THAT band (which I actually like) but literally every album THAT band has made in the last 30 years has just been ReReLoad and ReReReLoad, over and over ad nauseum. Or worse, St. Anger and Lulu. Compared to those albums, things like Risk and SuperCollider are good. I like bands who can write more than variations on one song, which is rare in metal.

>>127394245
Name a memorable 21st century MegaDave song?
>Back In The Day
>Scorpion
>Blessed Are The Dead
>Washington is Next!
>Poisonous Shadows
>Mission To Mars
>Dogs of Chernobyl
>Kill The King (i think it's 21st Century, not sure)
I could go on. You just have shit taste, Anon.

>>127393880 (OP)
How gay of Dave to call it quits. Metallica will go until someone dies. What a fag.

>>127394286
old men playing music of young men is always cringeworthy

>>127394286
It's actually a respectable decision if they don't do the usual "last concert" money grab, he's a fuckin mummy

>>127394245
You clearly haven’t heard pic related then. Get with it, nigger.

>>127394245
>I couldn't name a memorable Megadeth song post-2000

Never walk alone, washington is next, gears of war
thats only the united abominations album

KWAB

>>127394276
Those all suck. Again, anything on Risk trumps any of those.
Dave is capable of writing great alt rock pop songs, unironically he should do just that, even for other artists.

>>127394105
Yeah, they're good at that stuff too, it's just not my cup of tea for the most part, at least not compared to the wild stuff on the 80s albums.
Tears In a Vial is really good for what it is, and Poland's solo shows that he absolutely could have delivered as lead guitarist through the 90s if he'd agreed to rejoin in 1989. I wish he had, as much as I like what Friedman did on Rust in Peace.

>>127394311
Probably the strongest one in the last 25 years. The cover art is christmas themed for some reason though.

>>127394336
Don't be salty, your (You)bait was successful. Now try having a real, honest opinion. GameProTip: You can't bcuz you're a mentally ill NPC.

>>127394316
I can't get into those at all, but if you love em more power to you.

>>127394370
I was listening to Megs while you were still swimming in your father's nutsack anon. I will always treasure the KIMB-Risk canon.

am i the only one that liked thirteen
it has some really cool songs

>>127393880 (OP)
>retiring with a shit lineup no one gives a fuck about

>>127393880 (OP)
Rust in Peace and Peace Sells for me, and a bit of So Far So Good So What. From the new ones I think Dystopia had the most grip on me.

>>127394392
I forgot to explain myself
I know that the album is kind of a mess. Sudden death was ruined for the album, the when the guitar hero version is much stronger. Black swan 13th version removed the beautiful intro, but added bass in a specific middle part which i really liked, and other stuff. But i think it has really catchy songs, like guns drugs and money, new world order (another demo song), wrecker, fast lane, never dead

>>127394392
One of the few probably, it wasn't horrible but the overall sound kinda sucked, Dave's voice sounded really old to me there even more than the last ones.
I do like Wrecker tho

>>127393880 (OP)
r.i.p

>>127394394
he should get junior back

>>127394392
It's the only true "mid" Mega album. All of the others are either awesome or so-bad-they-might-be-secretly-genius. 13 was just "Meh"gadeth.

>>127394394
James Lomenzo and Dirk are legends you fucking zoomer idiot. Too bad your JewTube Brainwashing Machine never told you about them.

>>127394311
For me, it's

>Christmas themed

What? That cover is basically a NWO conspiracy playground. “Barcoding humanity” while surrounded by FEMA death coffins which are completely surrounded by flys.

Fight me

>>127394469
thats super collider

>>127394391
Highly doubtful, zoomer. I bought Peace Sells the day it came out. I was in 6th grade.

>>127394499
No way, Super Collider is So-Bad-It's-Good.

The title track alone is kino.

>>127394506
its a bad album with some good songs

>>127394496
>please look at my opinion-dispensing website for NPCs that /mu/tards keep spamming as if it mattered
No thanks, Anon. I actually have a brain and can form my own opinions. Even better, my opinions don't need validation from strangers and bots to be real. I pity you.

>>127394513
So is Peace Sells and Rust. I Ain't Superstitious and 5 Magics are pukeworthy.

>>127394531
Those are great with one or at most 2 stinkers. Lucretia is meh, 5 magics is kino.

>>127394495
It looks like a square border of holly with falling snow and santa claus colors in the sky and people doing gift shopping in a busy mall.
Thirteen is the same, with holly and fur trees and christmas candles and vic conducting a christmas choir.
This was Dave's yuletide period.

>>127394543
Lucretia is my favorite

>>127394543
Lucretia is catchy as hell.

>>127393880 (OP)
Youthanasia
>>127393945
Fpbp

>>127394531
Five Magics is a contender for best song on the album though the 2004 remaster version botched the vocals.

>>127394543
Lucretia has two of the best riffs in thrash metal.

>>127393880 (OP)
>whats your favorite megadeth album?
Probably Youthanasia. It was my first Megadeth album.
>the system has failed
Based, Dave's unofficial solo album is such an underrated album and one of my favorites.

>>127393880 (OP)
Rust and Youthanasia

>>127394392
When it was released, I felt disappointed because I already knew half of the songs on the album.
It's like a strange EP... bunch of re-recorded old songs with a mid modern mix.
I really dislike the way the drums sound.
When I listen to Never Dead I always listen to the original version.

Megadeth's musicians were better than the band. Seriously, how did this guy gather so many talented musicians? They also fizzled out too quickly. Great run until Peace Sells, Symphony was their “black album” since it is the album that for many marks the end of the classic era and the beginning of the commercial era. The big four of thrash were seriously overrated. Other thrash bands had better runs than them.

>>127397351
>other thrash bands had better runs than them
name one lmao, let's see you embarass yourself

Grammy

Lmao Dave will be back just like Slayer. Also Dave once tried to retire before and that only lasted a year

>>127393880 (OP)
embarrassing. their audience is 100% boomer at this point having your mascot talk to them like that is so immature. if they had any guts they would kill themselves onstage during this tour

>>127393948
>peace sells but who's buying
Been playing that multiple times in a row today.

>>127395905
>Five Magics
One of the best songs ever.

>>127394461
He already gave Junior a second chance and Ellefson fucked it up again.

>>127399257
Woah! We got an Edge lord over here! Watch out. KYS faggot.

Hot take: I don't hate Risk. I choose KimB and Rust in Peace (fucking perfect album honestly). Long live Dave Mustaine king of Trash(talk)

>See? This is what happens when cousins fuck...
>60 billion sperm and you're the one that won...

>>127394322
Imagine being Hetfiled, a 60 year old fuck that went through a friendship haircut and goes on stage talking about unity shit and muh family of metal cringe shit while performing to literal kids that only go there because the band you're leading is beyond sellout

Dave Mustaine statement
>“There's so many musicians that have come to the end of their career, whether accidental or intentional. Most of them don't get to go out on their own terms on top, and that's where I'm at in my life right now. I have traveled the world and have made millions upon millions of fans and the hardest part of all of this is saying goodbye to them.
>We can't wait for you to hear this album and see us on tour. If there was ever a perfect time for us to put out a new album, it's now. If there was ever a perfect time to tour the world, it's now. This is also a perfect time for us to tell you that it's our last studio album. We've made a lot of friends over the years and I hope to see all of you on our global farewell tour. Don't be mad, don't be sad, be happy for us all, come celebrate with me these next few years. We have done something together that's truly wonderful and will probably never happen again. We started a musical style, we started a revolution, we changed the guitar world and how it's played, and we changed the world. The bands I played in have influenced the world. I love you all for it. Thank you for everything.” - Dave Mustaine

>>127394480
>>127400256
they're fucking nobodies with 0 personality and play like lifeless fucking robots. People want Marty back at least, the drummer is ok I guess but again he's just in the background, no one gives a fuck about him like they cared about Menza or someone like Ulrich

>>127400495
Fucker is aware of what he did with the band and at peace with moving on. It's not something anyone that likes megadeth would like to face, maybe even him, but it's the right choice. I still think they can get rare reunions to scratch that itch just not the usual tour anymore

God I hope we end up getting Kiko, Marty and Teemo playing triplet guitar Tornado's solo at full power in harmony

>>127400477
I can agree to that. At least Marty and Dave are still friends and really like each other.

>>127394311
That's not dystopia

>>127401603
Endgame is just as good and you know it.

I WANNA BE ON THE LAST ALBUM

Is he quitting because of the 2030 agenda? Is he going to one of those exit cities or a bunker?

>>127393880 (OP)
> final tour
Has there ever been a case of that not being a lie?

Mmm I'm see him getting retired but coming back after a few years doing only a couple of shows a year

Not releasing new albums is OK with me,I mean,most of the bands doesn't play new songs in their concerts because their fans doesn't want to hear the new songs

>>127401810
>Not releasing new albums is OK with me,I mean,most of the bands doesn't play new songs in their concerts because their fans doesn't want to hear the new songs
I think that's exactly why he's retiring the band. His voice is trashed after the injuries, surgeries, cancer, and just wear and tear, and the old songs are a terrible struggle for him live even with the guitars tuned way down. The newer songs are written to suit his current voice, but most fans just demand the old stuff live.
If he says fuck you and just plays whatever he wants, they won't be able to fill the venues they're playing and will have to scale everything down, and at some point it would no longer feel worth it to him. A band like Voivod are willing to accept playing to a couple of hundred people and doing whatever they want, but they were never commercially huge like Megadeth so never lost their artistic perspective.

>>127400074
I have blasted killing is my business so many times it's A-tier. Looking down the cross is one of the best megadeth songs. Still gives me chills

>>127402285
Looking Down the Cross is almost flawless. The only thing that could have made it better would be Poland playing the last solo instead of Mustaine.

Can Megadeth even still sing anymore or is his voice shot? Is a last album even worth it?

>>127402836
Situation is pretty grim, but could be worse. He can't get a lot of the classics done anymore. Newer stuff is ok and more obviously written within his new range.

Man I really hope a decent local model for music comes along soon with lora training so every time some clown pulls a stunt like this I can just train a model and post it as a comment on all their socials

Why are zoomers so fucking scared of AI? Are there any other historical examples of the older generations embracing new tech while the youth cower in fear? It seems so backwards.

>>127402836

The old songs doesn't sound that good because Dave voice doesn't sound that high pitched anymore,his current voice is like a grumpy old man and it sounds like it hurts him

But he still play the guitar pretty good

watch dave come back in 4 years with a band called No Life Till Leather playing 'his' metallica songs live

>>127394551

>>127404677
Getting highly skilled fusion players in for a thrash band was such a great decision. As well as having a different feel to other bands at the time, it meant Mustaine wasn't limited by musicians' chops when he was writing. There's no way Lars could have played some of those songs if Mustaine had presented them to Metallica.
>>127405040
It's hardly contrarian. The vast majority of Megadeth fans consider Poland/Samuelson and Friedman/Menza to be the best lineups, with most favouring the latter (mostly because they played on RIP). You say it as if I put the Drovers at the top.

>>127402285
keep going. It'll get God-tier soon.
>I bought that album in like 93 and was so angry i tried and failed to get my money back. I was 14, lol.

>>127402836
Sounds fine live. I went to see them last year, and they engineer the live audio around his voice so he was alright.

Sounds like shit on YouTube, but that's what shut ins get for not understanding that taking live audio, recording it on a garbage phone mic and compressing it over and over to be uploaded and fed through shitty speakers isn't going to sound all that great unless you're a pop star who engineers her shit for the terminally online shitters at the expense of her audience.

>>127394217
aggressively 85 IQ take

>>127403284
because once a computer program can recite the last podcast it watched and make a funny joke on a Twitch stream, zoomers will lose the last experience they've had worth telling anyone about.

>>127400477
>no i don't like rock or metal or western music or anything my original fanbase likes any more, i'm just into j-fusion-pop

>>127403284
My problem is that it shows a lack of effort or uniqueness.
I gotta say, seeing vic rattlehead at the was fine, but the news parts was cringe

>>127405582
no, it's the high IQ take. Blaming the tools instead of the creators for low-effort slop has always been NPC-tier regurgitation masquerading as thought. Or maybe you're right, once Dylan plugged in his guitar all music sucked because no one has ever made a good song on an electric guitar.

>>127403877
Right on. Poland and Samuelson were god tier. When i heard they had both been fired i was convinced megadeth was over.

>>127405626
Yeah that part was pretty goofy. But the "end of the world" scenes are the kind of stuff AI was made for. Not that those scenes were particularly good either, but there's no reason to spend time/money on throw away shots like that.
My line would be album covers. Old school metal is known for great artwork, really loses the soul when it's computer generated. But a quick ad? Meh, I don't care as long as the music is made by their own hands.

>>127393880 (OP)

First one in D tier.

Maybe now Dave will do a side project wirh James.

>>127393880 (OP)
For me it’s Peace Sells and Killing is My Business I just wish Cumstaine hadn’t included cover songs on those albums.

Like risk. First five or six. Like the sammy haggar duet and other punk covers.

Being into bands worked better before the internet and it's stupid bullshit like this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRhS5VuXJuw

>>127407940
It was a weird choice when he had so many songs ready or almost ready in 1984. We could have had superior Poland/Samuelson versions of Set the World Afire and Mary Jane (they actually played that one live several times) instead of the covers and Mechanix. And even Polaris if he'd remembered it earlier.

Poison was the cure is so fucking kino bros

>>127401741
The ramones.

>>127402049
Those are not fans, those are faggots; real fans appreciatte the band's new song. See Iron Maiden in anywhere in a America BUT the United States, only in the states you see them complaining about not playing old songs more, the rest of the continent fucking loves Maiden

>>127402930
>>127405568
I wish I could agree but you can see live recording on yt and he doesn't; the cancer took its toll on his voice and he was never the best singer and quite grating when he had a voice. He needs a lot of Lomie's backing harmonies; it's true, his voice is shot and can't pull it off much and he sounds like he's struggling and hurting. I believe he can get a vocal trainer and classes to deal with that better but only for this last tour, not as a regular thing.

But his cancer gave him some fucking great low range ngl lmao
