The what's going on in Thrash thread

But who gets the final say? Obviously the band, therefore if the sound they want is what the producer offers them then it's not the producers fault, the producer has done the job he's paid to do. These bigger bands chooses the producer because they like his work, not because he can make them sound like someone else they like. Bruce has said Maiden sound like they do because of Shirley, he knows how to get out of the band what the band want, yet so many people have blamed Shirley alone for Senjitsu sounding the way it does. By Bruce's words alone that's what they want to sound like. I'm not suggesting the producer doesn't have an influence, but to continually blame the producer only as so many do really is becoming old
Sounded like they keep him just because he puts up with them lol.

I'm surprised they have got this far and now need a co-producer. But good on him for getting involved. His company might not be the most prolific yet but it does seem to be heading in the right direction and hopefully will give this doco the push it needs.

I do wonder if a certain other Dave might be a little pissed that this is happening. Nick's family doesn't seem to want to start fights with Mustaine but Mustaine always has to debunk something about Nick's Megadeth days. Now with a possibly pissed off Ellefson involved there's a lot Dave might not like that could be aired. I hope they don't, but I have no problem with Mustaine being on edge.
I just want a true story, whatever that may be. There's always going to be : Well that's Nick's side or Jr is just pissed. It may just come down to who any one of us thinks is the most credible.

Wait until we start embellishing the stories for the really high drama like those reality shows do! :)

The problem Mustaine would have with multiple aliases is that they would start disagreeing with each other. The guy is either misquoted in the press or he flip flops from one side of the fence to the other whenever he thinks people have forgotten the original story. I'm sure he's been misquoted many times, but I'm also fairly confident in suggesting that Mustaine's truth changes the more often Mustaine retells the story.
Yeah he says he's honest to a fault and sometimes says hurtful things. The problem with the people who are like that is that a lot of times it's THEIR truth. Not exactly THE truth.

I just can't see his album selling very well at all. It's been pure cheese so far. Haha. Sneap The Priest Killer!

No I can't really either. He's got some fans and fair enough but there is no way he's taking fans away from Priest if he's only offering a sub par copy of Priest. Apart from anything else I think he's really burning some bridges now and long time fans are getting sick of his shit.

Hey, that could be true too. Shit there could be producers all over the world going "awe fuck not them again, they always make my work sound the same!"

Agree. I also don't see him getting many new fans from this.

I've no doubt there is some BS in Nick's book, show me a bio that doesn't have BS in it. Shit, Nick even admits that some of the stories are hazed with drugs and alcohol so they are the truth as he remembered it. If the moving pictures doco stays close to the written word doco then I will probably side with Nick. But then there is really no reason to side against him. I don't think I read anything harsh or untoward in his book and I certainly read nothing that sounded like him wanting to start a fight. The manager sounded more likely to drop bombshells than Nick did, so if they keep to the book I think the only person making any waves will be Mustaine because he wants to rebut even the shit that is not about him.

But Dave's also been known to give his truth in arguments that no one was having. Or, and I know the media played a big part in this, but just before Nick's book came out Mustaine was asked to comment on several stories in the book that leaked. The media egged him to say something and he was too stupid to keep his mouth shut. Mustaine is like a politician the way he retells stories, everything paints him in a good light, and when it doesn't he moves to defence, "look at that guy over there picking his nose, I'm not like him!"

Oh right. I've got a pre order on the tour addition that won't come out.

Haha, I'm sure he's got a world tour planned. It will start at the Cauldron, his club in the UK, and end there. But the start and end date will be the same night!
