MegaDave to call it a day

[Eoin McLove]

People talk about his vocals a lot but they're what make the classics for me, that pissed off nasally snarl with those killer riffs is just metal perfection.

Nowadays my favourites are 'Peace Sells..' and 'So Far, So Good,  So What' , the latter being a 'go-to' Megadeth album in recent times. The original copies , not the crappy remix versions.

The thought of a "proper" vocalist rattling through something like "Devil's Island" is a big nope.

[Born of Fire]

[Bürggermeister]

He'll have the time to acknowledge the remixes are shit, remove then from circulation and release new mixes where he also records over all of Ellefson's tracks.

[Necro Red]

His vocals get stick, I always liked his vocals. Even when they went in a commercial direction he could actually sing without the snarl.

[spiritcrusher]

An insufferable fuck and essentially irrelevant in music for longer than he's been relevant.

But.

Rust in Peace is the best album any of the Bay Area bands put out. And probably is the pinnacle of heavy metal guitar playing. It is absolutely thrilling.

So the horns in Into The Lungs of Hell will be gone AND Ellefson making it a horn free zone!

[The Heretic]

Dave moaning about how they (Metallica) used his music after him telling them no, I assume he wasn't moaning when the royalties were rolling in?

[Necro Red]

I see Ellefson wants to join Megadeth on their farewell. Get the popcorn lads 

[Pagan Saviour]

Hasn't been much of an outpouring of sadness in relation to this announcement

[Sworntothecans]

Well it's Mustaine. He's always been a miserable git.

He hasn't helped himself by apparently recording a version of Cliff Burtons Anesthesia for an upcoming Metallica tribute!

he's a great musician and all, but that should be left alone

Anyone read the Marty Freidman book yet? I assume he didn't spill too many beans or the press would have picked up on it.

As well as Mustaines book, I have read Ellefsons (an unlikeable holy joe long before his teen wankfest was made public. He admitted to pursuing the church stuff as a career/financial option) and Menzas (it reads like a low intelligence teenage boy bragging about how great he is) and neither of them seemed very forthcoming with the truth about the band.

Friedmans is cringe, he talks about sex like a teenager and like hes fulfilling women's fantasies by sleeping with them
