Megadeth!

[Zzzptm]

Also I’m down with a song by song thread for the new album as well as Maidens new album.

 

I like it... some people have book club, we have album club!

Megadeth preforming yesterday in Austin Texas!

First show with James in more than a decade and they're tight as ever!

[Jack the Stripper]

Have watched a bit of their performance since it popped up on YouTube. Sounded ok for a first up performance. Setlist was pretty standard fare but expect it will change up a little as they get into the tour. Also expecting a new song as well. They might release it to streaming services before they play it live. Lomenzo reverts back to only using a pick when he’s in Megadeth. Dave prefers pick style I think.

[Charger]

Yeah I think pick playing is Megadeth style.

I too was bit surprised that they didn't feature a new song but I guess they want to officially release it before playing it live...which makes sense I suppose from a marketing point of view.

I was bit surprised that they didn't play something from Endgame...bit surprised at the 3 songs from Dystopia though.

[Jack the Stripper]

Good to see them change up the setlist for the the 2nd show. Swapping out “The Threat is Real” and “Mechanix” for “Take No Prisoners” and “The Conjuring” while adding and extra song in “She Wolf”

Dirk Verbeuren is a solid as fuck drummer!

^^
3 things:
- Glad to see Lomenzo having fun being on stage with MegaDave again. I always appreciate this guy.
- Dirk Verbeuren is a beast . His potential is limitless.
- Dave's Gibson Flying V is sublime. Glad to hear about the breach of contract with Dean guitars, I hate their designs. I would love to see the same thing from Michael Schenker's side.

[Jack the Stripper]

^Same, I’m glad Dave ditched Dean and is now with Gibson who have really started to get it together again since the new ownership. I really loved Dave’s Jackson’s guitars so would be cool to see some new sig models based off his old Jackson’s. Kirk Hammett has also recently partnered with Gibson as well so I’m sure there will be new sig model based off his 79 black & white Flying V

I too have always liked Gibson's guitars. Naturally the iconic SG is my favourite...but the flying V is a pretty decent design as well although not among my favourites.

[Jack the Stripper]

Gibson Icons series.

They’ve been releasing snippets over the last couple of weeks of Dave’s but here it is in full. Worth an hour of your time and it’s not rehashing all the same stories we already know.

Don’t think Ellefson gets a mention in the whole thing.

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Do we have a release date for the new album?

[Charger]

Nope. But I am assuming it'll be either late this year or early next year.

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

I'm guessing the re-record has delayed things.

[Charger]

I'm guessing the re-record has delayed things.

If I gathered correctly the re-recording has now been done and it's in mastering.

Just started making a Megadeth collection for my car.

What kind of sucks is that my car screws up a song list longer than 100 songs...as it thinks the number 100 comes after 10! Which is stupid...and I don't think I can make a list of just 100 songs from these guys....I think I need to find a way to make the car understand that 10 is not followed by a number with just an other zero....

Thankfully there are few easy albums like So Far... Youthanasia, Risk and United Abominations where there are only one or two songs that can make it but others...yikes.

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Do you have any say in how they are numbered? Can you make the them 001, 002 etc
