Rust in Peace, Megadeth. It's been a great ride with many ups and downs, i'd say they ended on a good note with this album.
it was burty goodbetter than the last few metallica albums if thats saying anything
>>129205105>the final guitar solo on the final song of the final megadeth album is a note-for-note cover of a kirk hammett solohumiliation ritual
>>129205167i thought the exact same thing lmaowould have figured dave would sneak in one final act of deviance and absolutely tear it up
>>129205170he said they were gonna play it faster and do something interesting with the leads and it wound up being a near-exact cover with worse production and vocals what was even the point of any of this? dave already used the spider riff on wake up dead, and it's not like he wasn't credited for RTL. if he wanted to be a bitch he could've done leper messiah since he still claims he wrote that one. or he could've done jump in the fire with the original lyrics and solos. this whole thing is just odd
>>129205167I guess it comes full circle from Metallica using Mustane's riffs on their first 2 albums.
>smash my guitar>AND LET THERE BE SHRED
MEGA KINO, Daves Done it again.
>>129205105I like what I've heard so far, RTL is slightly faster and tight as hell. Dirk is a beast of a drummer. Anyone going to see them live this year?
>>129205167>>129205170Maybe he chose RtL for the lyrical meaning. Let me explain:One thing that separates Megadeth from most metal bands is that Megadeth songs are, lyrically, less D&D/horror movies and more "here's what's on my mind today", particularly with their post-CtE output. Results vary of course.Maybe ending with RtL was his goofy way of saying "I'm done".>ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy don't want tooooo dieeeeeeeeeeee
>>129205188>what was even the point of any of this?who knows, but i'm sure the point wasn't to please edgy djentspergs on a forum for adult virgins with special needs
>>129205105It's not like they'll disappear. They're gonna tour and from what I read, there's no set end date to that tour. They will probably play live until Mustaine's left hand fingers are too fucked to play. >>129205188>>129205846>what was even the point of any of this?He said himself that he just thought because the first Megadeth album closed with a Metallica song it was neat to end the last Megadeth album with a Metallica song. And that he always liked the spider riff that he came up with for Ride the Lightning and that he wants to pay respect to Metallica.
>>129205105The Charlie Kirk tribute track was a bit on the nose
Yah it was fun. Ride the lightning is the highlight
apparently the movie they released recently had a whole section dedicated to super collider but barely anything about endgame and united abominations
>>129205105Bands NEVER stay retired. As soon as Dave wants more money they'll do a reunion The thing is no one wants to see a reunion without Marty. Kiko is the next best option but he hates Megadeth (same as Marty) and wants nothing to do with it
>>129206282lol which one?
i wish we could be more holesum chungus about dave retiring since its kind of obvious that a 40 year old band is going to make forgettable stuff. but i guess dave has acted to memey for too long to get any chungusness from the broader metal community.
>>129208423Dave has been a lolcow for decades
>>129206459that was the only song I listened to and it was terribleglad Dave finally gave up, he could never compete with Metallica
Friedman > Loureiro > Poland > Broderick > who cares? Those 4 are the only one that matter. And Broderick wasn't even that memorable. Marty, Kiko and Chris are THE definitive Megadeth lead guitarists. Everyone else was just hired guns who didn't do anything memorable
>>129208299not if his fingers don't work anymore
>>129208617Keith Richards is 82 with terrible arthritis and he still plays. Obviously he's not a shredder metal dude, but still
>>129208643but Dave is getting to the point where his fingers are getting stuck because of Dupuytren's contracture. if it gets severe enough it's over for him
>>129208683Oh shit I didn't know about this, that sucks for him That's the same thing Bill Nighy has and his fingers are permanently stuck down
>>129205105It’s not horrible, but not jaw dropping. I prefer Endgame and Dystopia for modern Megadeth. This album does have a few bangers on it, so that’s enough for me.
>>129208204Maybe he is ashamed/too pussy to stand by some of the Infowars lyrics on those albums.
>>129205105dave don’t miss
>>129208431even his fans are jokingly calling the movie a cringe compilationhttps://old.reddit.com/r/Megadeth/comments/1qkhb9h/this_dave_mustaine_cringe_compilation_was_pretty/
>>129205819>>129206194>Vic in flames>half of the songs depicting a world in flames (typical megadeth I know)>Last Note has But every deal was signed in blood and flames>burning in my brain, I can feel the flame >last two songs also both cite final curtainI think it's more than the end of the band, I don't think he'll make it to 70 and he knows it, still shouldn't have covered Metallica, ultimately people will remember him still hanging on to it, personally would've preferred something from Sabbath with their ascension/christian themes instead of burning into ashes
listen to the target exclusive song bloodlust here:https://old.reddit.com/r/Megadeth/comments/1ql0jpt/bloodlust_full_song/
>>129208585I'd put Chris above Kiko personally but I like them both. And while the rest were mostly hired guns, I've always thought Pitrelli stood out. His solos were great. Also I was surprised to see just how involved in writing Teemu was on this album, he's credited on tons of songs. Pretty good solos too.
>>129205188>or he could've done jump in the fire with the original lyrics and solosthis is what I've been wanting forever, why the hell did he not do that
>>129205105>it's not the best>it's not bad>it's not that safe>But it's like a recollection of all the strands of sound accross the band's historyGreat way to end it imo. Solid record on its own. Hearing KimB-era type of songs in modern Megadeth was refreshing as fuck. But still wondering if we ever going to get that trash metal Christmas record. That shit was hype.>>129205167>plays his solo>but betterFor Kirk it is. Now with AI they could reconstruct Dave's voice to see how it would sound with young/Youthanasia Mustaine vocals. Personally, I would've loved 1.2x speed on it but it was good already.
>>129208299>Bands NEVER stay retired.Say that to Black Sabbath and Rainbow.
>>129208585Marty > Kiko > Teemo Mathisyahu > nobodycares tier.
It's an okay album. Glad the ride is finally coming to an end. It's been swell.
Listened to 3 songs, couldn't stand much more than that. The production on the entire album sounds so fucking thin; usually I hate all modern metal production, but this went in the complete opposite direction.RtL was a disappointment beyond belief, a note for note cover doing nothing new outside of Dave needing to change his vocals because he can't hit those notes anymore. Halfway through it and I was just asking myself "is this it? a shittier-produced version?" Just lazy and boring, dunno how any fan gets excited for that cover but evidently first post rated it a 10/10 so go fucking figure lel.
>>129212089>plays his solo but bettersee this would be a good point if dave played the whole thing himself, which he didn't. he had to have kiko play some of it. which just makes it more humiliating for dave
Here's a bonus one btwhttps://youtu.be/fehg0zjXMmI
>>129213828sounds better than most of the main album. dave is retarded.
>>129213895Idk why but he did it already with other albums, like keeping a good rare one as bonus (new world order in youthanasia, the evil that's within, black swan, last dying wish and others from dystopia)
>>129212089>"But it's like a recollection of all the strands of sound accross the band's history"Pretty much sums up this album, doing an album that's a mix of (almost) everything you've done over the years is a great way to end your career imo.
Not one of their worse albums, but nothing really stand out. Worst track was probably RTL and it wasn't even close. Dry production and not exciting, Dave didn't even rewrite the solo, worse than a high school talent show cover.
megadeth died when dave decided he was a songwriter instead of just a guy who wrote the best riffs in the businessall the best early megadeth songs are just him cycling through killer riffs without much regard for any kind of structure
did dave copy taylor swift by releasing an album movie in theatres?
>>129210999I wouldn't be surprised if it was Teemu who sneaked in those early Megadeth influences into riffs. He is a fanboy after all
His voice is totally shot. He made the right to decision to call it a day. Although I don't believe it is the end hell probably do a solo album or something
>>129208643It's been a while since I attentively listened to the riffs and licks from the Stones. Is there actually some stuff that's approaching the difficulty of the more hard Megadeth stuff? Not being a retarded metal elitist fag, I'm just genuinely not sure.
8 good songs out of 12 ain't bad
I liked The Last Note
>They gave me gold>They gave me a name>But every deal>Was signed in blood and flames>So here's my last will>My final testament, my sneer>I came, I ruled>Now I disappear
will Dave guest on Metallica's final album?
>>129218564Feels bad, man. Dave only does it his way, so it’s all good.
>>129205105>last lyric is "I Disappear"Dude can't let it go, can he?
>>129213373>Kikobruh...
>>129216148Nah, that was definetly Dave or with high approval for that since he was doing the same with his Metallica stuff in older Megadeth records... but not out of fanboy lmao>>129216617Holy shit, Teemu is SHORT. Todd Howard short.
>>129215372he really is doing taylor swift stuff nowthere's going be a bonus track called Nobody's Hero
>>129220069Nobody's Herohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaPhlsnoG7k
>>129213828Here's the digital expanded edition songhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaPhlsnoG7kIt should have been on the main release.
>>129205739>>129206459>Megadeth's Ride the Lightning at 1.05x speed>tfwHoly canoli
>>129205105A guy on YouTube said something true. Mustaine always hired people who were better than him. I like the solo work of half of Mustaine's musicians better than the Megadeath albums, which dipped in quality very early on.
>>129220069track can be bought separately here:https://shop.megadeth.com/products/nobodys-hero-bonus-track-digital-exclusive?utm_medium=website&utm_source=shop-website&variant=51745332855103
>>129205105I am the greatest
>>129225045dave why didn't you make audio of you and james fucking the bonus track?
>Voice is shot from throat cancer battle>Fingers have gone to shit>Probably has a myriad of other extreme metal playing hindering conditions>Songwriting/Composing is still there though albeit cringe from time to time with the boomer "WAKE UP SHEELPE" tier lyricsIt's been a good run, I'd say its a good time to call it quits.
>>129221849thank you SO much Anon. This is the most worthwhile thing I've seen on this site in months. I hate this place but I scan it once a day in the off chance I find a post like yours.>I'd already tried the usual 1.25x but nah. Time to make a permanent Reason edit for my playlist
>>129216638no, but it's one of those "for his time..." and also a little bit of "better fundamentals than 99% of the so-called greats..." situations.>Stones were a bunch of trust fund kids in a band though, so fuck 'em.>Lemmy "Beatles vs Stones" .jpg
>>129216638I Can't Get No Satisfaction is something you play when you first pick up a guitar like if you're a boomer or something its on one string and it repeats like 5 notes on a very slow timing. take that as you will. Compared to say whatever the easiest thing to play in Megadeth's library is (Symphony of Destruction I think)
>>129205105If this is truly the last, we'll call it the Final AlbumIf Dave comes out of retirement because he wants more money, we'll call it the Burning Album.
>>129228133i like that much better than the white album that i've heard some people call it
>>129208299>Kiko is the next best option but he hates Megadeth (same as Marty) and wants nothing to do with itKiko doesn't hate Megadeth, he hates having a boss.>>129208585Teemu is undeniably better than Broderick
>>129225230Wasn't he fucked up from the spine with one of those usual guitar players conditions and had another issue that demanded him to relearn guitar playing basically? >>129225293>tfw can't play the riff
>>129229239Yeah, white album would cause too much confusion with the Beatles album.
>>129229239>>129230843>Metallica's black album>Megadeth's white album>with all the context behind Mustaine and MetallicaDave plans all this shit isn't he? It's too hilarious for being for being just a coincidence
do you think Megadeth can finally get a #1 album?
>>129219945Well of course it has Dave's approval. What I meant that Teemu had more influence with the composing. It was him who persuaded Dave to play early era black magic and satanic material.
>>129208204>apparently the movie they released recently had a whole section dedicated to super collider Yeah, because he was talking about all the health problems/deaths in his family around that time. His mother in law had dementia and walked off a cliff>barely anything about endgame and united abominationsHe did talk about the album art for endgame which was cool, but yeah other than that he skimmed through all their 2000s material
>>129238415>His mother in law had dementia and walked off a cliffoh that's awful
>>129238415Blood on the tracks??
>>129208585Poland’s jazzy shred is fantastic bro
>>129235706If Rust in Peace didn't do it, nothing will. Even then, it doesn't matter since charts are glorified popularity contests from masses instead of quality measures. In that regard Megadeth hit no 1 several times already>>129238322>What I meant that Teemu had more influence with the composingI could swear I heard some neoclassical bits in some I don't care's 17 solos and Let there be Shred. So I'd say yeah.>>129238415>>129239405Shit, now that's the kind of wrong rough.
I love this riff it’s hilarious https://youtu.be/Eq3QYXDyojE?si=mJQXB8w9nYYwj982
If you replaced "I don't care" and "another bad day" with the two bonus tracks it's an excellent fucking album
>Killing is his bussinessSo Nobody's Hero is the sniper from Killing is my bussiness and bussiness is good, huh? Neat refference.
>>129212125Black Sabbath were doing cash cow reunions for decades ever since Live Aid up until the digital bitch finally got Ozzy killed with Back to the Beginning.
>>129205207Same. Preferred the last album.
>>129243083>until the digital bitch finally got Ozzy killed with Back to the BeginningAgain; say that Black Sabbath and tell them they don't stay retired.
Why do I feel like Dave is indirectly also saying Goodbye in a literal sense for this album? Dave has aged rapidly in a short amount of time and he looks way skinnier now. let's not forget that he was recently diagnose with tongue cancer.
>>129240210It was perfect for the band and helped give Megadeth a unique sound that Marty then took to the next level
>>129243562He got the all clear from his cancer treatment I think like 2/3 years ago. But I sure hope it isn't back. He does still look frail and sick. He's definitely aware his time is running out. Plenty of the lyrics on this album are themed around it.Hits extra hard at his gutteral scream of "I don't want to dieeeeeeeeee" in Ride the Lightning :(
>>129243562>Alcohol excess to the point of addcition>Drugs like coke and speed>Cancer and its treatment (that involves cellular nuking)>Muscular diseases>Regular aging process losing body mass past 40 yo>On top of being a ginger = aging worse than mostAnd there are people surprised he aged like shit?! C'mon; it's was obvious all the things were coming back at him like alcohol does to people, that's more than a given.Still, young trainwreck Mustaine was the coolest motherfucker on earth. I'm happy he managed to turn it around instead of dying before the new millenium, Alice Cooper should be treated as a saint.
They should have called it quits when Poland left
since there is talk of Dave dying soon, how would you feel if Dave died before getting that metallica megadeth tour he wanted?https://blabbermouth.net/news/dave-mustaine-says-a-megadeth-metallica-tour-needs-to-happen-that-would-make-everything-right
>>129244538Dave should kill himself to one up Bowie's Blackstar
>>129244824megadeath...
>>1292445382027 Metallica are doing that big retarded dome the entire year in Vegas. So it would be 2028 at the earliest. Can he live that long? I think he also said he's only going to your for 3 more years.
>>129209447has Dave finally realised he is cringe?
>>1292462503 to 5 years of touringhttps://blabbermouth.net/news/dave-mustaine-says-megadeths-farewell-tour-will-easily-run-for-three-to-five-years
>>129246253I think Dave has been aware for a while he is an underdog to his fans and cringelord/weirdo/asshole to detractors.My suspicion is Alex Jones going through the ringer in court either poisoned himself in Dave's mind, or Dave thinks the conspiracy themes of those albums are too much of a risk to his reputation even by association.
>>129246408What the fuck are you talking about dude? Dystopia is basically United Abominations 2. Last two albums he's had antiwar songs like he's always had
>>129246490UA/Endgame and Dystopia each have political and conspiracy themes, but those 2000s albums are more directly tied to the Infowars stuff. Endgame is named after one of their documentaries "Endgame: Blueprint for Global Enslavement".
i hate Ride The Lightning playing after The Last Note
>>129243562That's what I keep saying. Look up any video where he's walking around, he can barely move and looks frail as all hell. He's also permanently hunched over and just looks completely checked out. I honestly think he'll die in the next 2 years.
>>129247429It's a bonus track it doesn't count. Like nobody's hero or bloodlust. Last note is defacto final official track
>>129247555what if he lives but ends up in a wheelchair like ozzy?
>>129247642Sure buddy. The last note and lyric of Mustaine's career is a Metallica song lmaooalso the album will be called the white album, which makes everybody think of Metallica's Black Album too
>>129247642but online playlists generally have Ride the lightning after The Last note so now i have to make my own custom playlist
>>129247657Not if I bought the album from Walmart it isnt
Thoughts on Hey God lyrics?[Verse 1]Hey, GodI need a minute of your timeI know that I've been missing latelyI've had a lot of things on my mindHey, GodI feel my life slipping awayThere's so much left I wanna doThe years are passing by like days[Chorus]Sometimes, I feel so insecureAs I walk these streets alone[Verse 2]Hey, GodIt feels like you're so far awayI know that it was me that movedI never had that much to sayHey, GodI don't know why you care at allI'm always taking up your timeI'm always missing when you call[Chorus]Sometimes, I feel so insecureAs I walk these streets aloneSo alone[Guitar Solo][Guitar Solo][Verse 3]Hey, GodI always take, I never giveI know it doesn't look so goodBut it ain't the way I wanna liveHey, GodThat's all I really got for nowI thought that we'd have more to sayPlease, let me know you're there somehow[Chorus]Sometimes, I feel so insecureAs I walk these streets aloneSometimes, I feel so insecureAs I walk these streets alone[Outro]Can you hear me?Hey, GodHey, God
>>129247686Good lyrics, sad song. Davey boy is getting fucking old bros. But the actual song is meh. It feels like Ozzy on Ordinary Man. He knows his times up basically. But he's lived a good life. He's lived 100+ of our lives combined.
is Another Bad Day about getting kicked out of Metallica? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxWYUkw0-EMWoke up on the floor againNo idea just where I've beenMy phone is dead, and the rent is dueI lost my job and I lost a toothI tried so hard to keep things straightBut every move just tempts my fateYou moved on, and I stayed behindTrapped in a life I can't rewindMy life's a mess, but I call it mineDusted dreams in a cluttered mindEvery scar is a line I drewOf everything that you put me through
>>129247727Ozzys time was up like over 9000 times over the years. It should have been over after Diary of a Madman already. And in a way it was always over after that. A certain someone just kept him going as a product releasing more and more slop just so she could afford another Chihuahua and facelift.Mustaines life may have been wild but nowhere near the hell and humiliation ritual Ozzy put himself through for over four decades.
>>129247805Of course it's about Metallica, just like the last 40+ years of his life
>>129247805>Every scar is a line I drew>Of everything that you put me throughis he being metaphorical or does Dave self harm?

Black Metal is inherently
>>129205105Is this album more like classic MegaDeth, like a throwback to the good ol' days?
>>129205105This shit sucks Megadick 'n' balls lol
>>129249825It's got a little of everything from every era. Even a little Risk and Super Collider.
Good album, couple of bangers, nothing embarrasing. Definitely better than anything Metallica shat out in the last 30ish yearsLaughed my ass off when I saw RtL on there, god damn that is so in character
>>129250204I so badly wanted to like RtL, but I couldn't hear the bass guitar (at least on the YT track). Shame.
>>129244538I see no issue; Metallica is not something anyone metal related should get near and borderline textbook case on how not to do things. Megadeth should never tour a heavy pop band, not even at its absolute worst. It'd be like any band touring with Motley Crue.>>129246250>metallica still doing things sellouts dojfc how many times metallica has died by now? this one sounds like another to add to the list>>129247657>Sure buddy.

>>129251614Baby come back ACK ACK ACK ACK ACK
>>129251955which is the main riff, yeah
>>129252541Bro, he wrote the bridge riff, the one he actually reused for Wake Up Dead. That was his only contribution.
>>129252666And it's the best thing in the track next to Kirk's solo back then. Also, witnessed
Saw them live last year, didn't feel like spending another 50 bucks for the farewell tour since I already scratched that itch. Pretty good show, I wonder if they'll change the setlist this time. Crowd lit a flare when they played Mechanix at the end
its a pretty neat album honestly even tho the people shitting on mustaine are rightalso "hey god?!" is a kino song title based schizo mustainemustaine never became nu-tallica and that's based enough
>>129205126>he doesn't rate I don't careThose solos are great, fucker. That alone makes it a solid 7/10
>>129205105mega bumP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>129205105>DR: 6It's 2026. Why are people still fighting the loudness war?
this is actually pretty good.
>>129251490has Dave gone to therapy yet?
I liked Tipping Point, Puppet Parade and The Last Note. There's not a single song on the record as good as The Threat Is Real. Dystopia was pretty mid overall. The Sick and the Dying was pretty shit, Ice T was a death sentence for that one, have no idea what the fuck they were thinking. Gave me flashbacks to Forbidden from Sabbath (which is a much better album). I came away still thinking the only two actually good albums from Megadeth after Youthanasia are Endgame and United Abominations.
>>129208299Why does Kiko hate Megadeth?
Why does Dave have so many injuries compared to the guys in metallica?
>>129256070Very astute analysis and good taste in Megadeth albums.
>>129205167Aren't Dave's hands fucked up to the point he can't play like he used to?
>>129230139I think it's because after a surgery or something his arm was positioned weird and the nerves in his hand got tons of damage so he had to rebuild the connections.
>>129205105This just leaves Dave Ellefson to carry the metal torch...
The Last Note was originally called Jumpers and was about people killing themselves off the Golden Gate bridge but he thought the lyrics were too dark lol. Then when they decided halfway through making the album it should be their last they reworked it to be the last song about packing it in. Source: I made it up. Nah but really some interview on YouTube>>129256070Bro nightstalkers is one of the best songs of the modern Megadeth era. Ice T is on it for what.... 15 fucking seconds? Relax.
>>129257480Yes they're fucked. And he said he won't let anyone touch his hands for surgery until he's fully retired. So who know maybe a few years into retirement he could get the surgery and it might fix shit to the point he can play well enough to do more stuff. Very unlikely though. But I'm sure he could put out a "Dave Mustaine" solo album or something and not Megadeth. I think World Needs a Hero was actually going to be a Dave Mustaine album but he was basically forced to make it Megadeth by the label
>>129256994because he used to shoot up heroin regularly in the '80s
>>129247805why was getting kicked out of metallica so traumatising?
Metallica's "Ride The Lightning" But Every Other Beat Is Megadeth's Cover Of "Ride The Lightning." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuCEdibd_PY
>>129258742>Bro nightstalkers is one of the best songs of the modern Megadeth era. Ice T is on it for what.... 15 fucking seconds? Relax.What I meant was that it was a bad omen. I came in with a sense of dread before it even released because it reminded me of Forbidden. I wasn't necessarily complaining about the song. That said, I didn't really like it very much. >modern Megadeth eraWhat do we consider modern Megadeth? I'd say everything from The System Has Failed to now. Like I said, in comparison to United Abominations and Endgame, everything else is pretty mediocre to outright bad.
>>129255618How do you think he kept his alcoholism in check?>>129256994The price for the mastering the guitar and creating the spider chord isn't being self-taught is a cheap one
>>129258767>So who know maybe a few years into retirement he could get the surgery and it might fix shit to the point he can play well enough to do more stuff.Considering the guy in question is Dave Mustaine, I 100% see the guy having the surgery in the next 2 years with these 2 done with non-invasive treatment only to fully recover in 6 months and then go back to play like nothing really happened lmao>>129259810This should tell you enough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KecXxv-GuTYtl,dr; baggage from basically everything else but the band itself.
>>129260605Every time I see that clip, I can't help but think how pathetic Dave looks here. I mean, he was a degenerate alcoholic drug addict who wouldn't change unless he had a real kick in the ass. I mean, he didn't get clean until he was kicked out of Metallica, and his own band, which went onto be massively successful fell apart twice. I empathize with the "I wish Cliff was still here" at the end though. This should've never been recorded.
>>129261490The problem with Mustaine is that he never got clean until the late 90s, after being kicked out the fucker still couldn't leave abuse due the chaotic nature of Megadeth's early years. The shit that really pisses me off is Lars; the context behind SkoM was bad enough for him and Metallica as is but even when forced to deal with ghosts of the past having Dave next to him in the same room the faggot was still trying to weasel his way out of any responsability avoiding to say the simplest "The way I handled the act was wrong on my part". I don't think he looks pathetic but way too well composed for the kind emotional scar he carries, the way he tl; dr for Lars hits like a truck when you think about it.IMO that was the time to leave it all behind, not with gay ass therapy but with Mustaine decking the fucker in that room. Newsted really got the last laugh after a decade of being a punching bag lmao
>>129261613Idk man, call me a cynic but I have a real hard time empathizing with their beef. Like I said, this and the Some Kind of Monster movie in general should've never been made. Too much inside baseball that should've never been aired out in the public eye. To me, it always felt like a "never meet your heroes" kinda thing.
>>129261777>Too much inside baseball that should've never been aired out in the public eyeUnderstandable but that whole deal was already quite public so there's that. Also, witnessed
>>129260137>Formative definitive years (86-97)Killing is my business..... to Cryptic Writings.Absolute peak Megadeth.>Middle Era (99-09)Risk to Endgame.Start of the major lineup changes, firings, members quitting. The start of the revolving door of band mates. Dave finding God. Shakey era with some good some bad. But mostly solid.>Modern Era (11-26)13 to Megadeth. Ellefson rejoins for 3 albums. Ahem... Super Collider and the 3 next amazing albums to make up for Super Collider.
>>129262499>mfw I don't hate Risk>Also, never heard Super collider. Only the single under the same name>that track was a big Risk but the wrong way for me so the record must be... actually terrible for Megadeth's standars
>>129262576The only really great song on the album is the Thin Lizzy cover bonus track. Which is a bad sign.There's some songs that are pretty good on it like Forget to Remember and Dance in the Rain but those are mid tempohard rock songs. Not metal or heavy or fast at all.

MEGADETH SISTERS, MEGADETH BROS, METALLICA FANSTHE TIME HAS COME TO BEAT MORGAN WALLEN!https://www.hitsdailydouble.com/news/charts/morgan-megadeth-midweek-2026-01-27>With Morgadeth, could we have another tight battle for the pinnacle of the HITS Top 50 on our hands?>Big Loud/Mercury/Republic’s Morgan Wallen is eyeing a return to #1 with I’m the Problem. That would make it 14 nonconsecutive weeks atop the chart for the 2025 blockbuster. But Morgan has a metal monster on his tail.>That would be Megadeth, which, 17 albums into its discography, has finally released a self-titled LP (via Nuclear Blast); the band will have the week’s top bow and could conceivably take the top spot. >How will this tussle for #1 shake out? Don't touch that dial.Stream the album where is counts (not youtube). Buy the album!LET'S GIVE MEGADETH A NUMBER ONE!
>>129205105i got youthanasia vibes from some of the songs which is good since i think thats the second best megadeth album behind rust in peace
someone on reddit got a photo of the cassettes and vic has a black suit on those
>>129268156I don't get the AI complaints, Vic looks great at this record's design.
I'm the biggest 'tallica fan, but lately I've been thinking Dave was actually right, and it's becoming more and more clear
>>129269945all Vics for the final album are drawn by Blake Armstrong
>>129269989Welcome to the majority since 1994.
>>129264789lmao at this email
>>129270226does anyone have the text for the email afterwards?
>>129270226>megafamnot bad ngl
why dis nigga dave old dough? bit cringe isnt it?
>>129269989When's the last time Metallica released a good album? Megadeth have released 3 good albums in the last 10 years
>>129270226>>129264789How the fuck do charts even work these days? The streaming sites have to track your I.P address to see what country you are listening from? So only US streams track towards chart progress? The whole thing seems retarded now
>>129258795He smoked, not shot.
>>129271554Death magnetic I think back in 2008-2010>>129271564>How the fuck do charts even work these days?Pure memery is my idea.
>>129268156someone found another black suit vic from their email
>>129205105Unironically how can anyone tolerate the most recent megadeth and metallica albums? Jesus fuck the production on them sounds so sterile, are they essentially all using the most fakest sound digital amp sims or something? Same for the drums, the albums sound like they could be AI generated. Unironically these boomers would sound better if you put them in a single room with a microphone in the center of the room and another for the vocalist and had them play the songs together one by one and do everything in a single take.
>>129264789thursday is over, do we think the megadeth fans using kpop and swiftie tactics have managed to beat morgan wallen?
>>129273963obviously not
>>129275333RIP at the people who spent money for multiple copies
AUSTRALIANS CAME!
lol megadeth only got 3rd in charts in UK, behind Olivia Dean and a One Direction member
>>129259883i love it
>>129258767What kind of surgery could you get for hands ruined by playing guitar?
>>129278886one direction fans are picking on megadeth on twitter...

PROJECTIONS RELEASED! (final results coming sunday or tuesday i think?)WE MIGHT HAVE DONE IT!
No warning? No second chance?
Megasisters...Dave ain't looking too good.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-a1YhqGAec
>>129280207hopefully we can see more of his current condition when he starts touring on the 15th of february.he seemed okay when he played Tipping Point last Octoberhttps://youtu.be/YqwVCVt-7-s?si=ITkdnBw_efiP5hsz&t=1662but he comes across as very old from his performance 10 days agohttps://youtu.be/ZVskWqNoWrI?si=txCyePoGSio9Mt6j&t=332
>>129280057NOI CANNOT UNSEE WHAT I SAW
>>129280329This is so fucking crazy. All the shit rockstars & celebrities have done, all the drugs, broken families, the hundreds of groupies, likely rape, countless criminal acts, troon'd-out sons & daughters, probably a few murders or neglhomocide at least, Ellen burning her gf alive in a car, and yet tuggin' on the toob is just beyond the pale.
>>129280358as if Mustaine would want Megadeth to be a laughingstock filled with Ellefson masturbation memes
>>129218879>Dave only does it his wayReally needed a Frank Sinatra cover on the album.
>>129279826All those years after Countdown getting blocked by Miley Cyrus's father only to getting blocked again by another country album
>>129269989Megadeth has always been the better band It's absolutely crazy how Metallica got as popular as they did being so shitty
>>129280329>when you bust your payload a mile high
>>129280057IIRC he got a second chance. And he blew that one, fucker better signed the pre-nup>>129280329>that awkward moment where Megadeth's management and band members had to see the footage>on the same room>togheterI can picture Kiko's awkward laughter
>>129271554Which were the good ones, which, the bad?
>>129273919So much modern work just seems so overdone, but lacking substance. Peace Sells was written in several hours. Sabbath recorded their first, seminal albums in a single day.
Non-single songs number of Youtube views:Hey God - 594 KAnother Bad Day - 485 KMade to Kill - 459 KObey the Call - 407 KI Am War - 402 KThe Last Note - 630 KRide The Lightning - 1.5 M
>>129283732Honestly not bad for a boomer thrash band.
>>129220084Which countries allow playback? Asking for my vpn.
>>129285065https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6X5QtVCA3qQ
>>129285092Thank you anon, have a nice day.
https://youtu.be/JJOJSXqnUZM?si=LQVXANId9KLV24Hw&t=3686:08 And uh we also have a song called6:11Nobody's Hero, one called Farewell My6:14Love, another one called uh Blood Lust,6:18and um I think I think that's it for the6:22uh additional tracks.What kind of track do you think Farewell My Love will be like?
>>129283732These numbers are impressive.
>>129280057you fumbled him...
>>129287505>Mexico*Megadeth, Megadeth**Aguante Megadeth* intensifies
>>129286635I think it's really sad Dave didn't take this final album to mend some fences. He's a very spiteful person.He could have at least got a few EX members of the band to do some solos or riffs or something.
>>129286635does anyone know the context for this gif?
>>129288915they are gay
>>129287505I wish there were record stores anymore; I'd buy a copy just to support them. But, alas! I cannot.
how is Dave still so fucking cool and Metallica wound up so fucking gay?
>>129268156the black suit variants were cyber army exclusives from their fan club
>>129292801>gaywhat a mystery
people clown on fantano but he's right about it being odd to put i am war after obey the call and made to kill
>>129205105kek
>>129293143>this is not an edit
i like how dave wrote a song about vampireshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fehg0zjXMmI
uh oh, people are saying that Nobody's Hero disappeared from their itunes, and some have gotten refunds when contacting the companies about fixing this issue. could this affect the charts?
>>129295420I appreciate he wrote the lead single to appeal to the boomer demographic
THE PROJECTIONS WERE ACCURATE!MEGADETH IS CONFIRMED NUMBER 1!https://www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/megadeth-first-number-one-album-billboard-200-chart-1236169046/ The new self-titled album earned 73,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending Jan. 29, according to Luminate — marking the act’s best week, by units earned, since the chart began ranking by units in December 2014. The bulk of that sum was driven by pure album sales (purchases of physical and digital copies of the album), totaling 69,000. That’s the biggest sales week for any Megadeth album since 1999, when Risk opened with 74,000 sold. Of Megadeth’s 73,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, album sales comprise 69,000 (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 4,000 (equaling 4.23 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. Sales of the album got a boost from its availability across more than a dozen vinyl variants, a Target-exclusive CD with a bonus track, and the mid-week release of deluxe digital download version of the album with another bonus track.Of the album’s 69,000 sales, physical purchases of CD, vinyl and cassette tapes totaled 56,000, with 22,000 of that sum on vinyl. That marks Megadeth’s best week on vinyl in the modern era (since Luminate began electronically tracking sales in 1991).Megadeth’s debut of 73,000 units marks the lowest sum at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 since last May, when SZA’s SOS returned to No. 1 on the May 3-dated chart with 52,000 units.Dating to Megadeth’s debut on the Billboard 200, the band’s 39-year, three-month and one-week wait for its first No. 1 is the longest any act has waited for a first No. 1 since 2016.
>>129299423>MEGADETH IS CONFIRMED NUMBER 1!>Did with his own long time co-written song to boostMustaine must be happy as fuck for this
>dave needed a metallica song to hit number 1LMAO this man is a walking embarrassment...
>>129299617i don't think so considering most of the sales were physical units instead of just streams of Ride the Lightning
>>129299617His song too, technically his and James.>Metallica only hit above 100 with RtL>Mustaine took it to #1Kneel.
Countdown to Extinction is miles better than this one and deserved the #1 more And I say this from someone who thinks Dystopia is one of their best but that one was meh
>>129299716>Implying charts are about the record meritsI shouldn't be reminding you something this basic.
>>129299423>>129299617>>129287505>>129283732>>129279826Literally how come? How did they managed to reach Number 1 in several countries when the songs are quite forgettable and formulaic?Although Dave marketed this album as the last one, I doubt anyone outside the metal scene would care at all. The album wasn't even shilled that hard.Other releases were more impactful, like endgame or dystopia. Yet, they barely made a fuss in the industry. Either this album is getting insanely lucky or the rest of music music is so fucknig dead and barren than a boomer thrash metal band is outperforming literally superstars recognized by the entire world.
>>129300007>Although Dave marketed this album as the last one, I doubt anyone outside the metal scene would care at all. The album wasn't even shilled that hard.They clearly did if it reached no 1
>>129300007>I doubt anyone outside the metal scene would care at allmetalheads all combined are enough
>>129300007>How did they managed to reach Number 1 in several countries when the songs are quite forgettable and formulaic?Sounds perfect material for charts lmao
>>129299522Billy Ray Cyrus crying right now...
>>129262499TSHF is peak Megadeth, which is fitting because it's the only album to fully acknowledge that Dave is a solo act with guest musicians. It's easily equal to RiP, it just doesn't have the meme hype that RiP does.>it was back in the day>and you'll NEVER understand
What's the concensus on The sick, The dead and the dying?
>>129300772it troonflopped
>>129299423It's pretty crazy that you have to have 1000 streams to equal the earning power of one album sale.Yay Megadeth!
>>129300892>powered by Kiko>floppedBut Kiko don't miss...
>>129283732>Ride The Lightning - 1.5 MCucked one last time
I thought the album was overall kinda mid. Dave's getting old and you can really hear it he doesn't sound as mean. I did like the two songs talking about being old and a lot of the instrumentals were really good
caring about album sales or whether you're #1 or not is so fucking anti-metal its incredible
>>129302295Shut up, Lars. You haven't hit no 1 in 25 years.
>be megadeth>finally scores first number 1>news is flooded about grammys and people aren't going to pay attention to Megadeth scoring a 1
