This better be a Megadeth/Slayer or a Megadeth/Metallica (we can dream) tour. If it’s Anthrax I’m going to be pissed.

Im living in hell. Im 17 and I love helmet. Strap it on , in the meantime and betty are my golden prizes. No one I know or have met has heard of them or they dont like them. Im still struggling to this day to put a decent band together because no one seems to appreciate that style anymore…

…yet tons of people still care about fucking gay ass slayer..and boring megadeth and its asshole frontman….ok.

It’s okay but it’s not the return to form I found in Abominations. I feel like of Dave’s 11 albums, the 97-04 releases were the worst, that’s all.

Yeah I always thought Slayer were overrated. I agree Megadeth have shitty albums (basically Crpytic Writings, System Has Failed, and all albums in between), but there’s even 2 or 3 songs on their shitty albums I like.

I would still see this show though, I never liked Slayer but I’m sure they put on a good show.

anthrax (supposedly) with a new album this year also… could this be clash of the titans II after 18 years? that’d be goddamn incredible.

suicidal/alice in chains could even open up like back in the day. I’d pay $$$ to see it!!

a few thoughts:

-I really, really hope they make it to South FL.

-Steve, I feel the same way about Slayer. Of course they’re bad-ass and “never sold out”, but I don’t see the huge appeal…of course I haven’t heard all their stuff, but what I have heard isn’t as good as Megadeth, IMO. Still, I would like to see them live and give ‘em a shot, I’m sure they’re brutal (was going to see them with Hatebreed a few years ago but had a monster-flu).

-With regards to the earlier post about Megadeth’s crappier albums being more overlooked than Metallica’s, I think that has a lot to do with Metallica’s crappy albums being shoved down our throats. I don’t recall seeing many of Megadeth’s crappy-era songs on MTV in the middle of the day, and I also don’t remember mainstream rock radio playing any of those songs…but they played the hell out of Metallica’s pap.

-I can only assume that these two bands sharing a stage will inspire both to go balls-out every night. I think everybody will be getting their money’s worth. I think overall Dave Mustaine is a metal-genius and his body of work is better than Slayer’s, but I can only base that on recorded material and am anxious to see who is better live.

-if anybody is too cynical to get excited about this, turn in your metalhead badge, you don’t deserve it.

I’m a Megadeth fan, but I think people overlook their crap albums more readily than Metallica’s… and Slayer’s too.

This is pretty outrageous. I hope I can afford the tickets.

In all seriousness its true. Broderick is really good. I don’t know whether he plays rhythms quite like King and Hanneman, but he is a better lead player.

This biggest deal for me is that Dave actually lets him play his seven string on stage. That shows some HUGE trust from Mustaine. He’s usually a lot more controlling. For instance, no Megadeth bass player has ever used his fingers, because Dave likes it better with a pick.

I’ll go if Megadeth is headlining.

Hell, even if Megadeth isn’t headlining, I can always leave before Slayer. Though that may be a waste of what i’m assuming will be a $50-$60 ticket. Unless the opening band(s) kick ass.
