Wow, I didn't know about a bunch of those. Especially the live ones. Thanks!... when the hell did they do Phantom Lord? Is that one Dave mostly wrote?

 

[Slammed]

According to the website Phantom Lord was 2013 in Toronto and only played once. The site it came from gets people to report cover songs by any band live and then tallies them up.

There is also a live recording of Am I Evil with Anthrax Slayer and Metallica which was the Big 4 gig but I don't know whether that is a cover or a jam session.

The Am I Evil was a jam with everyone and only Lars got a drum set lol.

It seems very strange that they would cover Phantom Lord to me. I'll have to find my cassette and check the writing creds. I wonder if the person was confused and meant The Four Horsman/ Mechanix.

 

[Slammed]

Yeah I thought Am I Evil was something like that. I wouldn't have called it a cover. But the website asks for any song that is not their own so I guess it's not incorrect for the website.

Mustaine is credited on Phantom so again that means its not technically a cover.

 

[redfly]

Ah ha, the plot thins . I'd like to hear it.

 

[Slammed]

Here you go. First response in Google with a special guest

 

[redfly]

Oh! Awesome! Thanks! I kind of remember it now. Jason is singing right? I think that's why I didn't remember. Still cooll!

 

[Slammed]

Yeah he is. I haven't watched it yet but the footage looks pretty average. There is a few live clips with Jason and Megadeth

 

[redfly]

Newkid still has a lot of energy

 

[Slammed]

I always thought his band deserved better than it got. They weren't brilliant but they were better than some of the shit around at the time

 

[redfly]

I don't think he gave it enough time. I'm sure they would have done better eventually.

 

[Slammed]

In some ways I don't blame him for pulling the pin when sales were so far down, but I do agree that with time and the right push from a record company there is no reason why he couldn't have got better sales

 

[redfly]

I feel like it was a little self sabotage. Maybe scared to succeed scared to fail. because he only went halfway with it. He knew people would be excited about his return. And it was good, but it was stripped down and basic. There was a time for that, but that time was decades before. People don't want stuff that sounds like that. And he knows it. But he made it sound like that anyway.
With I think predictable results.

 

[Slammed]

I was happy to let him get away with it. I liked both the album and the EP and think he should have had another go with a third release.

 

[redfly]

I liked it. But not, buy it this is great liked it,. It was like an expensive garage band. I wish he would have kept at it though. Because I'm one of the people who was really psyched at first.

 

[Slammed]

I bought the album and had a copy of the EP. I probably would have bought a third if he'd done it.

 

[redfly]

He shoulda.

 

[Slammed]

Last I remember he was doing some fusion thing or something so I'm not sure he'll come back with something metal now.
