do albums get any more boring and bland that The World Needs a Hero?

[JayKeeley]

i'm surprised so many people here even bother with megadeth after countdown. shit, i even got rid of countdown. killing is my business, peace sells, and rust in peace should be enough for anyone.

taste is objective dammit!!

If I got into Megadeth 2 - 3 years ago, I'd probably stick to the first 4 only too. But since I've been into them since Peace Sells was originally released, I've spent an equal time with each subsequent release, and so I'm hanging in there.

They and Iron Maiden are my two favorite metal bands.

P.S. Hidden Treasures is mandatory, for Breakpoint and Go to Hell alone.

P.P.S. The compilation that came out before TWNAH features Dread & the Fugitive Mind and Kill the King -- two songs that everyone should check out. Top notch stuff.

damn you UM, damn you all to heck!

First 4 = some of the best metal you're ever going to hear. Period.
CtE and Youthanasia = lots of great songs
CW = their "black album", not bad, but popcorn metal all the way
Risk = bad, but not as bad as everyone makes out (I like Insomnia, Prince of Darkness, and the last 2 tracks, Time 1 & 2)
TWNAH = bad, but Dread & the Fugitive Mind is superb, and Return to Hangar is cool
System has Failed = their best since Youthanasia
United Abominations = their best since Countdown (top 10 material all the way)

I'm pretty much with you my metal brother, on this one.

With exception, I like the album in question here and I can't fucking stand Risk. Goddamn hockey metal.

 

[JayKeeley]

Yeah, I do admit, the 'anthem' that was "Crush 'Em" was a horrendous low point. I think it even made it to the Universal Soldier 2 soundtrack.

Actually, "Breadline" was even worse.

You know I actually had buried that deep in my subconcious and it took a long time and now you've made it all come rushing back in pure vomitous fury in justa handful of keystrokes.

 

[JayKeeley]

"aint got no job, ain't got no smokes"

Ugh, worst opening line to any song ever.

"aint got no job, ain't got no smokes"

Absolutely A-W-F-U-L.

Just awful (in Don Imus tone).

 

[dorian gray]

lol, I liked "Breadline"

 

[JayKeeley]

dorian, you realize your opinion on anything at this point just went from negligible to non-existent.

[dorian gray]

I remember buying RiP on cassette when it came out. Trylakos was yet to be born.

 

[dorian gray]

This talk of Risk being so bad makes me want to go out and buy it, just to hear for myself. Were there any songs on it that I might have heard on the radio at that time? Wasn't Breadline on it?

 

[JayKeeley]

Breadline was on it, and I think they even made a video for it. Check youtube.

Crush 'Em you would have definitely heard.

Maybe Insomnia, Prince of Darkness.

I'll be There for You is a total homage to Bon Jovi.


Gah, the whole album was catered towards 14 year old Japanese girls with semi-developed love mounds.

 

[dorian gray]

To this day, I've never heard Crush 'Em although I know it was written for the Phoenix Coyotes. Dave lives (or used to live) outside of Phoenix.

Oh my oh my, have you seen the One Night in Buenos Aires dvd?

He does an acapella crowd sing along before the song that just makes me cringe...

Yes, Dave Mustaine, acapella, do the math... uke:

 

[JayKeeley]

It was also used by some WWF wrestler (as his intro music), and it got picked up in the soundtrack to Universal Soldier 2 with Jeanne Claude Van Damme and Goldberg.

Actually, d'oh, yeah I think Goldberg used Crush Em as his intro theme in his wrestling fixes.
