MegaDave to call it a day

[Paul keohane]

My least favourite of the big 4 by some distance;  his vocals being the main reason .I only ever had 2/3 of their albums back when I was a teenager,Countdown was one I spun the most.

Seen them live a few times; always seemed solid out!.

[Bürggermeister]

The first gig I ever went to was Megadeth, they'll always be a special band for me, but I'd happily never hear a note from anything after Countdown as long as I live. Those first four albums are timeless, absolutely untouchable, it must be said.

Since, it's 'deth, however...

Yep least favourite of the big four and thought they'd go first. Very hard to like Auld Dave. They released stone cold classics for sure but I haven't found any of it interesting since Cryptic Writings which had a track or two on it. There's been ten albums of scutter since.

I didn't realise he had released as many albums after The System Has Failed, which was the last one I took any interest in, even if that interest was fleeting.

Dave Must Stay In

[Eoin McLove]

No idea about their later albums as I paid no attention to them, but for Rust in Peace alone (and most of Countdown, and some of Peace Sells...) silly old Dave attains hero status.

I have a deep for love PS and RiP, but I'd put Slayer leagues ahead of 'Deth overall. Metallica ahead too, Anthrax - lol, you couldn't pay me to listen to more than two songs of theirs.

RiP though, is the pinnacle of thrash for me, and close to the pinnacle of metal too. PS is up there too, mais malhereusement that Willie Nelson cover exists.

[Mithrandir]

Any recent live footage I've seen his voice is shot and there's no life in him anyway. Probably well past a graceful exit at this stage.

[Barrytron]

I really like Youthanasia, there's a shaker or a tambourine or something subtle in a lot of it, gives it a little extra groove. Won't miss Dave's negativity. His book is hilarious if you ever get the chance to pick it up. Real Alan Partridge stuff

[Eoin McLove]

Ah yeah, the perennial victim despite being one of the most famous and successful people in metal. A real eejit.

[Bürggermeister]

If he had been honest, or prepared to spill the beans on some of the druggie years even for the sake of humour, it could have been sensational.

[The Heretic]

Dave wouldn't have lasted in Metallica as even if he didn't have demon issues their collective egos would have eventually come to a head, but fk me can you imagine if they did manage to hold it together what a force they would have been musically wise?
