Megadeth

For the past two decades, Megadeth's storied career, including more than 20 million worldwide sales and 8 Grammy nods, has not only set standards in hard rock and metal, but defined them. Megadeth's signature shredding and rousing lyrics have drawn fans in since the band's beginnings, and are the very things that keep them interested, excited, and of course, headbanging, at every turn. Founding vocalist/guitarist Dave Mustaine, a NY Times bestselling author who was the recipient of the first annual Golden God Award at the inaugural Revolver Golden Gods Awards in 2009, is renowned for his ability to use the vehicle of music to shake things up, to make a point and to rattle your brain, literally, figuratively and sonically. He did just this with 2009's ENDGAME, which received some of the highest critical accolades of the band's already impressive career.

    So keen for these guys. Dave Mustaine = GOD.

      • Rattlehead says:

        And Lars is a prat… at least Daves a better guitarist than Lars is a drummer…

        • TK says:

          TESTIFY!

          I love both bands equally. Metallica was amazing live.

          • Rattlehead says:

            To make myself clear though, who cares? Dave isnt as much of a wanker and Lars isnt as much of a prat. The whole Mustaine sucks thing is really boring. He’s not anymore and he’s gone to great lengths to try and make amends for averything he’s done.
            ANd Lars belongs in Metallica despite his lack of drumming- he’s got the best mind for running a band- and thats why Metallica is as good as they are. Good on you Lars. Good on you Dave…

          • Rattlehead says:

            I have a suspicion there a few people who frequently go round the net and write Mustaine sucks for any intervierw, youtube ect thing that gets posted. Its kind of sad really. Like they’re hoping that Lars will read it and let them suck him off. When in fact he’d tell them theyre losers….

          • blake says:

            They’re both as shit as each other and they’re all fuckwits, inluding anyone one who listens to them. Peace cunts

          • Rattlehead says:

            congrats Blake you managed to prove that you are a bigger shit than both combined, that you are a fuckwit for looking up a site regarding a band and posting on a comment on two bands you hate…
            “peace cunts”? – not buying what you are selling
            ps you’re also a coward or not posting your email

      • Kelso says:

        Your are a fucking idiot, and have no clue…. and thats coming from a guy who’s following metallica for every Australian tour

      • Kelso says:

        Eat a dick

        • Rattlehead says:

          am i the one who has no clue, is a and idiot and has to eat a dick is it the “metallica is better than megadeth” guy?

          • Natasha says:

            Pft to thoose who call DAVE A WANKER you dick heads if it wasint for dave and his sheet music and him teaching james a few things before he was kicked out and made to ride a buss and starve for four days there wouldnt be such a BAND AS METALLICA. Yes they may be good but there is no way there as good as MEGADETH and another thing there not comercial sell outs like your preciouse METALLICA.

      • megadeth says:

        your a fucking wanker

        • McLovin says:

          Shut the fuck up.. their both fucking awesome. you sound like a bunch of fucking girls… shit! plus.. slayer’s the best one out of all of them… :)

  4. Iain says:

    Seeing Metallica in November, and NOW seeing MEGADETH, Some one can shoot me after these 2 concerts, I’ll die as a very happy man, knowing I’ve seen the best two heavy metal bands of all time in one year.

  5. david says:

  6. Azy says:

  8. Daniel Cook says:

  9. Quinladen says:

    What a great end to a year man…. 2 nights of metallica october , Guns n Roses in december , and the next day megadeth… Bring it on……..

  10. Al says:

    I would cry happy tears to hear Good Mourning/Black Friday, or My Last Words being played in Auckland. Looking forward to seeing Megadeth on stage!

  11. MegaLuke says:

    I’ve seen megadeth every time they’ve come to Oz, fucking brilliant!
    I put them up there with Dream Theatre and Ozzy for a live show, which is enough to make your jaw drop so hard and fast, it rips the skin off your face.

    I don’t care what they play, I’ve seen them play pretty much everything over the years anyway, so I’ll be happy to just be there. For all of you first timers, Get in the pit & crowd surf – you WON’T die!

    Not sure about some of the other acts though, Parkway should be good.

  12. zoe blair says:

    \m/

  20. 502 says:

    ill be there looking down the cross cant wait best live band you ll ever see sound as good or better then album… try and play it like it is on the album kirk(metallica) you cant dave can.

  21. sean says:

    yes, im glad Megadeth havent bowed to commersialism as Metallica did. I lost interest in Metallica about the Justice for all days. Is Megadeth bigger than Metallica, probably not on sheer album sales.. but is Dave Mustaine bigger than Metallica, quite possibly. Still have huge respect for both bands nonetheless, but looking forward to Megadeth on Dec 10 100%

  22. cANT wAIT says:

    Metallica were great the other night, but Megadeth will be fucking sensational. Last years show in Sydney (with Slayer, who were shat on by the ‘Deth) was the single best set I’ve ever seen!! And I’ve seen everyone. so there.

  23. Hellas_headbangers says:

    MEGADETH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    YEAHHHH

    DAVE IS KING

  24. Dic Rattleshred says:

    Metallica was the warm up last night…all roads lead to Megadeth! RIP is the godly masterpiece of genius and to hear the album live in 1 go with some other faves to boot…..FARK YEAHHHHH!!!!
    Ellefson is back….I don’t care if Menza is on drugs and Friedman is packing Sushi….they should be playing too, but I shouldn’t complain…twil still be AWESOME \m/ I just hope the Tornado of souls solo is respectable.

    • Tim says:

      You obviously haven’t heard Chris Broderick, if you’re worried about the solos being “respectable” haha. I’m sure you have nothing to worry about. \m/

      • jono says:

        yeah dw chirs broderick might actually be the most technically proficient guitarist alive atm. and megadeth gotem. so we should be fine on that front

    • Maruto says:

      Broderick can nail the solo from Tornado of Souls. Nuff said noob.

  25. Nikunj bataju says:

    Fuck yeah megadeth’s gonna be a killer…. Cant wait screw other bands… I m goin there for megadeth \m/

  26. Samael says:

    Megadeth is the best !!! YEAH !!!

  27. chris russell says:

    seriously why this fuss over metallica? they do not have a album that compares to megadeths music they are both different bands. personally i like me both and especially now that the big four have all got over there issues and are rocking the world together. i just all these idiots bagging each band can get over it too. go and watch big four and fuck up. also waiting for the stupid press to get over it in every interview. Rust in Piece is an amazing album. all you have to do is listen to it. you cant deny its greatness. all you haters are just metal posers trying to be in the scene with your opinion. i been listening to metal since 1990, and i still consider my self a new comer to the scene. \m/ \m/

  28. Zak says:

    DAVE, YOU’RE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  29. steve says:

    yes hangar 18, all i want to hear, damn
    wish they played wake up dead aswell

  30. sid says:

    YOUR ALL WANKERS!!!!!!!!!! MEGADETH ARE THE FUCKING GREATEST BAND

  31. Edvin says:

    Dave Mustaine IS Megadeth.
    Dave mustaine IS Metallica.
    Dave Mustaine IS Thrash.

  32. Maruto says:

    Wow, metal fans are getting dumber each year…

    Can’t wait to see Megadeth!

    They will easily be the best band that day. Real fucking metal. Old school. Not this Avenged Fashionpose californian rich-kid-with-problems metal that those Suicidal Posers will be flogging…

  33. Mick says:

    It’s not about the bands, it’s about the fans. I enjoy both Metallica and Megadeth, but I’d much rather hang with fans of the ‘deth.

  34. Wronghead says:

    You clowns are fucking fuckbags…. Really who gives a fuck what Dave’s personality is like he does a kick ass job at that’s all that matters! And to say Lars is shit on the drummers…really…REALLY?? I’m sure you wankers could do a better job yeah? How many albums have you sold? Yeah I thought so fucking zero! Metallica were awesome this year and at the end of the day there is only one god and his Name is Mike Patton so get with the program!
