It's a pretty good album IMO

[Hakita]

Every Megadeth album is pretty good

[mikeyt493]

I like Risk. It's different. Got some very cool tracks, like Prince of Darkness, and Breadline is something lighter, pretty good.

Edited:

Also, Crush 'Em.

Listening to SFSGSW now. The intro is fucking awesome.

The bass line and those little guitar-things that Marty does near the beginning are awesome. (talking about Crush 'Em of course)

Only thing I have against it is that Enter the Arena, despite being an intro to the song, doesn't blend perfectly into it. It should ave the Crush 'Em riff at the end of that, and at the start of the song.

The first time I heard them together (i'd only heard Crush 'Em before then) I actually expected the bass drum part to start (along with the continuing Enter the Arena riff) at the end of EtA and blend into Crush 'Em. I was kinda disappointed..

[mikeyt493]

Yeah, exactly.

Jeff Young, who played on SFSGSW, interview about relations between him and Mustaine.

[Reaver1991]

Those UG interviews are interesting to say the least.

[mikeyt493]

They are.

Dave used to be such a complete and utter mess of a man.

[mynames2long]

I listened through Risk a couple of times and I really like it, it's different from all the other albums I heard. It's good that Mustaine and the boys try out different stuff from time to time.

dat chorus riff

[Reaver1991]

hahahahhaha
internet says lomenzo is playin wif jeff young hahahahaha

Fuck it must have hurt to get booted from Megadeth. Still, it's not the first time someone's been kicked.

I was just reading about how difficult it was to replace Jeff Young:

Wikipedia posted:

Following Mustaine's new found sobriety, Megadeth began a lengthy search for a new lead guitarist. Lee Altus of Heathen was among those who auditioned, as was Eric Meyer of Dark Angel fame. Meyer had been invited to join the band following Chris Poland's departure, but had declined in order to remain in Dark Angel.
Dimebag Darrell Abbott of then-obscure Pantera also auditioned, and was initially offered the spot. Darrell, however, would not join without his brother, Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott, and, having already hired Nick Menza, the band was forced to turn Darrell down.
In 1987, a 16-year-old Jeff Loomis (of Sanctuary, and later Nevermore) auditioned. Afterwards, Mustaine complimented Loomis on his playing, but rejected him because of his age. Loomis later saw Cacophony with Marty Friedman and Jason Becker on tour, and told Friedman, who had just released his first solo effort, Dragon's Kiss in 1988, of the experience. Friedman eventually auditioned for the spot, but was initially rejected by Mustaine for having multicolored hair. However, after undergoing what Mustaine called "Rock Star 101," Friedman officially joined Megadeth in February 1990.

How different would Megadeth's 4th album have been if Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul were in the band instead of Marty Friedman and Nick Menza?

I'm thinking of ordering The System Has Failed. Should I?

Chances are that Dimebag Darrell would still be here if he joined Megadeth with Vinnie.

For me, it's one of their best, go go go go.

Yeah, so I've heard. A lot of people claim it to be the best since Rust In Peace and Countdown To Extinction

[Uberduck]

[mikeyt493]

Pretty damn good album, some good tracks. Pretty different.

My friends are attempting to crucify me because I believe that Rust in Peace isn't the best shit in the whole world

Great album, I just don't like Dave Mustaine's singing on most of the tracks

Most Megadeth fans would hang me for my opinion, which is that Endgame is their best album to date. It's just got a little bit of everything I like about Megadeth. I think Dave really nailed it with Endgame, but I also really liked Peace Sells. And of course Rust in Peace but to put that at third on Megadeth's list is a capital crime to some people, sadly.

[Zak1392]

Endgame is shit. I try to forget it was ever released and listen to their older albums.

Its not shit. It might be worse than the other albums, but its not even close to shit.

[jesse194]

They should rerecord Endgame with Junior.

Edited:

IT's just o fucking bad that I am one of the few that like megadeth at my school. The rest either like rap or some mainstream piece of shit pop or country. Some country is okay like old country but new country sucks major ass. If only I lived in Columbus, IN
