“I was like, ‘It’s time to do your solos.’ He goes, ‘OK, I’m gonna call up my guitar teacher, have him do the solos and then have him teach me’”: Dave Mustaine on the ill-fated guitar appointment that led Megadeth to Jeff Young
“We’re always going to be responsible for making some of the most fun music that bassists and guitarists and drummers will ever want to play”: Dave Mustaine doesn’t know what he’ll do with himself after Megadeth call it quits

"The beast that is heavy metal has sunk its teeth into youthful fans and musicians for decades. It continues to be a fountain of youth for those of us who collect more birthdays than we'd like to. Somewhat surprisingly, metal god Dave Mustaine announced late last year that this self-titled MEGADETH album will be the band's last. This farewell album proves to be an endearing, inspiring and dignified goodbye from one of the most influential powerhouses in metal history..."

A lot of people dissing RTL on line. Seems they expected a 60 year old Dave to release a carbon copy cover of a 40 year old song he wrote and was released by someone else.
Obviously it's going to be different to Metallica, Obviously Dave's voice sounds different. Makes me wonder if some of these people aren't Taylor Swift fans with nothing else to do.

Agree, Some people are just unhappy knuckleheads with no imagination. They should enjoy it for what it is and fuggitaboutit.

I'm enjoying it quite a lot. More aligned to the band's middle era I dig - Youthanasia, The World Needs a Hero, and Countdown (my fav of theirs). I'd perhaps rank the new album just above The System Has Failed (the last one I cared for). I liked 'The Scorpion', but that album has a bit of lamer rock as well. The new one is more consistently energetic.
So yeah, best Megadeth album since The World Needs a Hero for me. Now I'm revisiting the 6 albums in a row I disliked to see if my opinion's changed at all. I don't think it has though. It's hard to explain, but I'm listening to Endgame and I just don't like the production for one thing. Dunno if it's the EQ or what, but it tempts my brain to tune out and leave it as a sort of rumbling background/elevator music. Whereas the new album seems to have the vocals & leads there and crisp and not dampened by the lower frequencies, actually sounding like a favourite band I want to pay attention to again. Weird!
I was hoping to hear Dave use more of his trademark sneer on the RTL cover - that would've made that worthwhile for me.
