Dunno if anyone likes Gallows? They hosted an hour of Klub Kerrang tonight. Proper nice bunch of chaps, very funny and played some great tunes by bands I've never heard of like JR Ewing who are rather good as it happens.

Heard that played a bit recently RP. Nice.

I've never really been a fan of Megadeth or Dave Mustaine, but I've been giving Th1rt3en a fair old airing over the last week or so, and I'm kind of enjoying the album.

 

However, what I do really like though, is the following video that I stumbled upon just the other day: (If you don't like the tune, I reckon you'll at least enjoy the video).

Just my opinion, but Deftones best album is EASILY White Pony.

 

Awesome record that.

You didn't like 'Rust in Peace' or 'Countdown to Extinction'?

 

Probably the two best metal albums of all time, all things considered.

Moofy there's being subjective, aren't we all when it comes to music, and there's being mentally unstable!

 

Really, Megadeath, best of all time, really, Moofy we need a talk!

Poorly worded on my part. When I say I'm not a fan, I don't mean I dislike any of their stuff, just that for some reason I never got into them like I have done with other bands.

 

I did however always find Mustaine to be a bit too whiney for my liking, but he's mellowed a fair bit over the years and is nowhere near as bad as he once was.

 

Seen them at Download 3 times, but they've just never 'done it' for me.

 

I may go and give their back catalogue a better listen... See if anything changes.

Find me a better metal album than Countdown to Extinction.

 

You can't. Because there isn't one.

 

Riffs, solos, the tightest rhythm section in metal along with the best rhythm guitar player. Every song has standout quality. And Rust in Peace is even better.

 

Seriously, find a better metal album than either of those.

 

 

Edit: actually I've seen your taste in music, so.....never mind.

I wouldn't even class Megadeth in my top 5 favourite bands btw, but those two albums blow everything else out of the water.

Going to the Krazyhouse next weekend. Best get in the mood for the K1.

Great albums, defo, but my fave Megadeth album is probs United Abomintions. Some incredible, full on, guitar driven songs on that record. Really in your face.

 

Mustaine and Chris Broderick are as good a guitar pairing as any.

 

Agree with the poster who said Mustaine's vocals are too whiney though, always the weak spot of a great great band.

Yeah White Pony is my fave too. Also like the way some of their later stuff kept the same type of style, great band and hugely underrated.

Good heavier one :

Immensely talented and underrated (for at least a decade now.) band, really like the way the song shifts key/pitch towards the end. Doesn't start up properly until just after the first minute.

Slayer "Reign in Blood" or "South of Heaven"

Metallica "Master of Puppets"

 

There's 3 better metal albums just to begin with.

Wrong on all counts I'm afraid. Look at the musicianship, songwriting, riffs, rhythm section, lyrics. None of it compares to those two Megadeth albums.

Don't get me wrong, I love Megadeth, first saw them in 1990, but Countdown isn't even their best album, Rust in Peace is far superior. Countdown merely went for a more radio friendly approach with shorter, less complex songs, which although it was the most commercially successful album, didn't really appeal to many of their hardcore fans, yet brought them more new fans due to getting more airplay. Mustaine saw the success of Metallica's Black album and clearly adapted his approach, as we all know his history and jealousy of everything Metallica.

 

Plus its all merely subjective, Slayer's Reign in Blood is seen by many as the epitome of a thrash metal album, and I don't think that we will see that topped ever again. I saw them perform it all live in London this year, and it blew me away.

 

Its great discussing music for a change, and not footy, I've somehow missed this thread!!!

Carcass, "Necroticism..."

 

Death, "Leprosy"

 

and pretty much anything by Suicidal Tendencies, (esp "The Art Of Rebellion")

 

All killer metal / rock records.

 

I also reckon "Worship Music", the last Anthrax album is seriously fucking good.

Carcass - what a band. I saw them a few years back headlining the Damnation Festival, but saw them a few times in their original days. I preferred "Heartwork" myself.

 

Suicidal are a stunningly brilliant band, shame they don't play this country much any more, and I saw Anthrax last week supporting Motorhead, and they are still superb live.

I played this CD on the way to work this morning, and I enjoyed it, but there are too may weak songs on it to consider it their best album, just my opinion by the way. It was Megadeth's best line up, with Nick Menza on drums and Marty Friedman on guitar, but they didn't build on the success of "Rust in Peace".

Try your best to ignore the lyrics and just listen to this guy's voice. Marvellous.

 

His name is Tommy Karevik and he sings for Seventh Wonder and Kamelot.
