Metallica is gonna have some competition starting in 7 days. 

[sneakyblueberry]

That song is so freakin good.  Love the end riff and the hits going into it. 

[Adami]

To be fair, Metallica would probably sound just as good if they replaced Lars and Kirk with very talented (and younger) hired guns like Megadeth does.

Had Megadeth kept their original lineup (Chris Poland, Gar Samuelson, Ellefson, Mustaine), they'd still sound better.

Yeah, the hits going into the last riff sound so huge and deep.

Now there's a thought. 

[SPNKr]

Really? We needed a thread for this?

[sneakyblueberry]

Haha yeah probably could've just posted this in the Megadeth thread.

[Jakartabassplayer]

I was planning to go to this show, but was stopped by my parents who didn't allow me to go

Well, as you might have noticed, it still remains its own thread.

That's shitty

One can never have enough Megadeth threads.

This performance is really tight... better than others

One thing that cracks me up about the camera angle is that during the crunchy riff towards the middle before the second solo, you can see Junior and Chris do the hair flip in perfect synchronization.

Haha, it's like a wave. First David then Chris, then down goes David then Chris.

Normally Dave does it too.

Haha, it's like a wave. First David goes up then Chris, then down goes David then Chris.

Normally Dave does it too.

Guess Mustaine wasn't in touch with his feminine side that night. I don't judge him for that though. His headbanging seems a little less violent these days as well.

He recently had a neck injury and was told not to headbang anymore. I think the injury was from all those years of headbanging, too.

I thought it was Tom Araya who had that happen. Didn't know it happened to Dave too.

Yup, happened to Dave too. 

[SPNKr]

Yep that's what happened to Dave, I read about it ages ago in a GuitarWorld. He also stated that the next album is the last album for Megadeth before he retires for good.

Guitarworld, I guess. At least the way the sentence is phrase, it sounds like he said that in the same interview.

It's in GuitarWorld December 2009.

GW When you say "retirement is looming"—
just how close is it?
MUSTAINE I've got one more record on my
contract. Then I'm done.
GW What will you do after that?
MUSTAINE I'll probably move off into the
private sector. I have a studio going [Vic's
Garage, in San Marcos, California] that I'm
handling with my son, and we're trying to do
a little "metal academy" type thing there. Just
something cool to give back to the community,
because man, I'm so overpaid and under-
worked, I have to give something back.

I had to look for the mag.

[Ultimetalhead]

Damn. Ah well. I suppose there's always room for him to change his mind. I mean, he JUST got Junior back in the band, and he's only doing one more album?

[SPNKr]

Things don't last forever, I say.

[Mave]

Well, he'll be 49 by the time the next record comes out... maybe even 50. Megadeth is an intense Thrash band (duh) and it's taking its toll on Dave and probably has for a number of years now. I read in an interview that he said his hands are "disintegrating" because of playing guitar. He probably means his fretting hand can't handle the movements anymore.

It's cool Dave has continued this far, considering he was contemplating ending Megadeth after releasing The System Has Failed. He announced to the crowd at a show in Argentina (That One Night DVD, AAMOF) that he would continue Megadeth.

But it seems like Dave wants to rush this last record. I remember reading Dave was talking about the next record only a few months after Endgame had been released.

[Mave]

All good things must come to an end, and that means I better get to see them before he decides to hang up his guitar for good.  

[Ultimetalhead]

It's fine with me if he wants to get it out in a hurry. I'm sure I'll like whatever he releases, so it's just a matter of when I receive it.

[Plasmastrike]

Megadeth coming to an end makes me very sad.
