Dave is suppose to be putting together Gigantour 2. Gigantour for anyone who doesn't know, was a festival Dave put together to have some of the best up and coming guitar players or technical bands come play together. The first one, aka in 2005, had Nevermore, Dream Theater, Anthrax, and Megadeth. There were a couple other bands. This year seems to be taking alittle different route, if the news is true, with a line up of Megadeth, Anthrax, Overkill, and Judas Priest.

I don't know about you guys, but I remember awhile ago, Dave had cancelled some shows I believe in Israel, because one of the bands on the bill was anti-Christian. He's recently discovered God, after along time of being a boozer, drug user, and then the whole thing with his broken arm. He really got serious, and apparently won't play venues with bands that deal with Satan, anti-christian values, or act in some manner. So he kind of comes off as a prick now to people. I wanted to know if he has done anything else like that?

The whole christianity thing with Dave doesn't bother me,whatever is best for him.About the lineup that souds awesome I would love to see all of those bands.1 question though,Overkill isn't exactly religious,you know they have some dark lyrics.

When I went to Gigantour I was glad Anthrax wasen't but over all it was pretty good but I would prefer if the old line-up minus FF was there especially DEP now that I really know what there aboiut although it wasen't the type of music that everyone can get into you need an open mind I guess.

Megadeth are great. They were my second ever metal band after Metallica (searching for something similar). I like everything up to "Youthanasia" and "The System has Failed". I prefer their Thrash days though...

There greatest hits cd/dvd has been out for some time now, got the cd at Gigantour if any1 has seen/owns the dvd im wondering if it worth getting.

No no no, you got it wrong.

What happened here, in Israel, was that Megadeth were supposed to play a festival with Dissection as co-headliners. Mustaine said he wouldn't play with a satanic band, and so Dissection were dropped since there was a greater demand for Megadeth.
Later on that festival, Megadeth's show was cut short (4 fucking songs! 14 years until they come back and only 4 songs!) because the barricade between the stage and the crowd collapsed and the police stopped the show.

Fuckin' sucks...:mad7:

I like "Peace Sells" and "Rust in Peace" - but, imho, "Countdown" and "Youthanasia" were abominations - I really didn't like either of them. They were, to me, every bit as disappointing as "the Black Album" or "Load"... I haven't listened to anything by them since.

I totally agree with you, man. When Countdown came out, it was almost like they sold out!. Most of you guys were to young, but back then Megadeth was a pretty fucking gnarly band. They had piss and vinegar in their veins. And when Count Down came out, I lost all respect for them! Just as I lost respect for Metallica when they came out with their "Black" album.
Mainstream was a total sellout! And that was what Countdown and the "Black" album represented to us back then. Sure those were their breakout albums, but in terms of what they used to represent, it was the rug was pulled out from underneath all of us Heathens!!!
All said and done, my favorite Megadeth albums are everything from Killing to RIP.

No, I really liked Countdown To Extinction... in no way can it be compared to Load....

Countdown to Extinction is a good album and Load too, but I myself don't consider them as metal albums. And I really don't get these neverending comparings with Metallica and Megadeth. Both of them kick ass, and that's good enough for me.

Megadeth in many ways has changed for better or worse but at least they have not yet made something like Some Kind of Monster I'd rather see them say We've had a good run but now it's time for someone else to have their chance in the spotlight. I wouldn't want them to have producers shoving thumbs up their asses and being told what to play or how they should do it. That's when youv'e lost your true purpose.

Didn't Mustaine also turn down a show with God Dethroned for the same reason? It's a bit of a shame really; Megadeth and Dissection would have been a great gig to see. Sorry to hear about the concert getting cut hort Megadeth put on \a great live show. Hopefully they'll visit again with the release of a new album.

I know it sucks that he became a christian for that reason it ruins tours.Though it was in the past my personal favorite song Good Mourning Black Friday is a very violent and satanic song written by dave.

Megadeth rules forever, and Mustaine wrote, and actually can still write heavy shit!! That's saying a lot, and I really respect them, but I'm on my way out, so I must make this short...

So Far, So Good, So What! and Rust in Peace are definetly my fav albums. Mustaine really knows how to make good riffs.

I bought the dvd Arsenal Of Megadeth,and as good as it is I'm a little dissapointed.Most of the interviews dont last more than 2 mins.

I think there was another happening of the sort, yeah.
I'm actually glad Dissection got cut out. we got Destruction instead

A brother of a friend actually met Dave when he was getting on the plane to Turkey for the next gig. Dave said they are planning a comeback this summer or so. no word since...

I dont know as much as I like Destruction,Dissection has one of my favorite albums"Storm of the Light's Bane".

Yeah, I perfer Dissection to Destrution too but if you went to that gig and liked Destruction better than Dissection then you're lucky.

I actually like Dissection songs better than Destruction songs, but dear lord, that show was beyond awesome...

I got 'Rust In Peace' today, and im loving it. Great album, specially love the guitars ... and well everything else . I cant pick a clear favourite between 'Rust In Peace' , 'Killing Is My Business..' and 'Peace Sells...' they are all great thrash albums that are some of my favourites.

man ^^^ uve got thrash metal's master piece in your hands .. rust in peace is the best album by megadeth till date....love every track from that album ... ofcourse holy wars does stand out \m/

No, I really liked Countdown To Extinction... in no way can it be compared to Load....

I compared it to the Black ALbum - and in many ways can it be compared... slowed down tempos, more simplistic approaches to songs, one music video after another churned out, commercial success...

I think the reason for differing opinions is simply chronological perspective... you weren't around in the early 90's amped out of your skull for the next "Rust" or "... And Justice" to experience the first hand let down.

I own it and enjoy it,but wouldn't you say the interviews are way too short.

I'm re-discovering Megadeth after a while... they were my first Metal band, I still own my old Peace Sells copy and is inable to listen anymore, but I wouldn't throw it away for anything in this world...

The albums Megadeth released until Countdown To Extinction are groundbreaking, they beat the shit out of Metallica (ehich, btw, had their brightest moment with Mustaine)... NP: Rust In Peace.

New album! I'm looking forward to it! The System has failed was a nice mix of thrash and heavy metal, I'm positive.

I'm looking forward to the new album, the system has failed is a good album. but my favourites are Rust In Peace, Peaces sell, So Far So Good So What amd Youthanasia.

Most of what I think about Megadeth has been said already, so I'll just say that 'Killing is my Business' has some of the most awesome riffs in thrash metal.

You've said a lot already, but I'll add anyway =)

I've got Rust In Peace (bloody amazing!), So Far, So Good, So What? (good if a little short, could be better), The System Has Failed (brilliant! A return to form!) and i bought Youthanasia today, and it's a good solid album. OK no absolutely brilliant songs, but it's still good.

Megadeth rule! Better then Metallica in my opinion.
