Dave Mustaine

[Eoin McLove]

I'm not one to shy away from asking the tough questions, as you know, and the time is right to finally get to the bottom of what makes Mr. Mustaine such a sensitive pansy.

Justice 4 Wanky!

The fact that Megadeth and Metallica are still being talked about in 2021 despite having amassed 4 good albums altogether in 4 decades is still a mistery to me.

But to answer your question, whatever the shade, they probably have remained untouched by anyone other than himself since his last childhood church confession...hence his personality.

[Eoin McLove]

Ah, that's a bit unfair to him. I'd say the priest didn't go near him either.

I know,  imagine 2 of the biggest metal bands being talked about on a metal forum..

Ah here, they have at least that many great albums each.

[Carnage]

Kill 'Em All, Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets, ...And Justice For All, s/t & Peace Sells, So Far So Good So What, Rust In Peace. 8 between them.

Black Album, Countdown and Youthanasia are all good albums imo.

[O Drighes]

Seems like I shot myself in the foot by actually starting a conversation about it haha...

I enjoy Metallica up to Master..., but that's pub music to me as I wouldn't spin them at home. I also remember liking Killing is My Business, which I haven't listened to since I was a teenager. But in all fairness, Rust in Peace and Black Album have good songs which I don't enjoy listening to. I just hate Mustaine's voice and Black Album is more of a Rock album than a Metal album to me, it's also incredibly overplayed. Youthanasia though, that reeks of everything that was shite in the 90s: Heavy music mellowing down, groove, and lack of metal aesthetics. 

[Anton Arcane]

Another truer than thou Edgelord.

[Carnage]

Never thought much of Killing Is My Business, I still remember the intense disappointment I felt on listening to it on my trusty walkman on the train home from Galway, having been a huge fan of Peace Sells and SFSGSW. I couldn't believe it was the same band at all. Countdown and Youthanasia are just MegaDave chasing the Black Album money. Some good songs, maybe 8 or 9 between them. 1-2 decent tracks per album after that. Rust In Peace is their peak, no question. Dawn Patrol aside it's perfect.

The Black Album is a great pop/metal album, but I overplayed it so much back then that I have no need to ever hear it again. Nothing Else Matters and The Unforgiven can fuck eternally off, though.

I think KIMB and SFSGSW were tarred a bit with the piss weak production jobs, although the remixed version of KIMB that came out a year or two ago is better.

I also think the weak cover tunes on the first three albums diluted them a bit, always made me tip towards Metallica in the whole Megadeth vs Metallica argument.

[Anton Arcane]

Yeah KIMB was a huge disappointment when I heard it. Everything about it seemed so amateur and cheap. Even the miserable two page cassette inlay. Countdown was the first metal album I bought and I'll always include that as one of their great albums.

I feel we are getting off topic. Can we stay focused on the pubes, please.

[Eoin McLove]

Interesting to see "strawberry blonde" taking such a huge lead. It really goes to show how little you people think of The Stain.
