Wow. Quelle jaquette, heu, heu... ouais quelle jaquette, quoi...

C'est une jaquette "retour d'acide"

Bon, fan du groupe, c'est pas pour ça que j'irai dépenser pour un best of inutile.

J'ai pris le War Chest cela dit.

c'est par pour dire du mal mais c'est megamoche.

Ho ho ho ! Subtil ! Très malin !

J'overapplaudis !

heu, le warchest c'est tout sauf inutile ...

le CD live + le DVD =

Ah mais j'ai pas dit ça. Au contraire.

Roh le best-of de brin qui voilà!!!!

Ils vont commencer à enregistrer dans quelques semaines le temps de finir le nouveau studio de Mustaine. L'album se fera sous la houlette de l'incontournable Andy Sneap : efficacité garantie, mais 0 personnalité.

MEGADETH drummer Shawn Drover has issued the following update:

"So I'm down here in San Diego at [MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine's] new recording studio that is getting closer to being 100% operative. I am helping out with getting certain things a bit more 'cosmetically appealing,' shall we say. Things are really taking shape now, and I think we should be ready to go here in the next few weeks or so, which for me is good — it's been fun having the summer off, but it's time to get back at it, if you ask me."

Dave Mustaine revealed in a recent online posting that acclaimed British producer Andy Sneap (NEVERMORE, EXODUS, ARCH ENEMY, MACHINE HEAD) was to fly over to Southern California on September 8 to "tweak some last-minute stuff" at Mustaine's new recording studio before returning again at the end of the month, presumably to helm the recording sessions for the group's new album.

Mustaine continue d'être bavard sur son forum.

Il est vachement content et tout. Chose intéressante : sur la dizaine de compos travaillées il y en a 5 de Mustaine seul, 2 avec Drover, 1 avec Lomenzon et 1 avec Broderick. Bref il tente d'impliquer ses mecs autant qu'il le peut.


MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine has issued a lengthy update via the "Forums" section of the band's official web site. A few excerpts from his posting follow below.

"2008 brought us much success; excluding the fact that we were in the middle of an extensive, exhaustive world tour supporting the latest record from MEGADETH, 'United Abominations' on Roadrunner Records and were out for a nearly 18-month long trip, and we have gone to place like India, Thailand, Singapore, Peru, Ecuador, and several new cities in Countries that we have already been too as well as returning to cities that we haven't been too for several years. Sadly, we still have yet to reach South Africa, and also return to Russia.

"With the change in guitarists from Glen Drover to Chris Broderick, I was nervous, but at this point of seeing him interact with the band and the fans, there was nothing to worry about. The guys are getting the hang of posting here more often, and you should be able to see a lot of action through the MegaFanClub [MEGADETH's official fan club], which will reopen in 2009.

"Andy and Shawn [Drover, MEGADETH drummer] are back safe and sound in their own little beds, and I have been going to the studio during the days, when I can and making slight changes to the songs, much in the same way that I wrote 'Rust In Peace'. You see, when I was writing that record, we were rehearsing in a hall near the Griffith Park Observatory and each day we would get there we would do our respective party favors and then we would go over all of the songs, including 'My Creation', although that had no lyrics at the time sang on the track and rendered the track obsolete. So, I have been going in each day and making the slightest of changes and most are for the better — reverting back to the previous version if I don't like what I did the next day. James [Lomenzo, MEGADETH bassist] and Chris and I are all still here, should I have any brainstorms and I know how to play the drums at least as good as Shawn knows how to play guitar, and that is saying something, since he is the fastest guitarist in the world. Remember?!

"Now, about the songs:

"I have five of the nine that appear to be mine completely written and arranged. There are two more that are Shawn's, and James has a potential part for a song, as well as Chris. I have to say that the energy and musical vein is from the period you have all been requesting. I know I have written something good too, when I am playing something and I curl my lip up when I assault my guitar. Andy said, 'Awwight! Ye got a bit ov de ole lip snarlin' goin now wight matey??'

"I can without a doubt say that there is a song on here that is somewhat like 'Poison Was The Cure'. There seems to be a 'color' around this song that is reminiscent of the flair and energy from that period. This color is evident on several songs.

"I am more excited about this new record than I was with 'United Abominations' or anything in the last several years. I must confess that when Justis [Dave's son] comes in and he and his band are stocked and howling about how fast and how heavy the new stuff is, it does make me feel great. He has really finicky taste and loves the really heavy stuff; especially the fast double-bass drum parts.

"I AM NOT SAYING THAT THIS IS 'RUST IN PEACE 2'! But I can say that the five out of nine songs I have arranged, I like and love them all, and every one of the songs has one or more of the strong points of me as a guitarist being showcased instead of me writing songs for radio — radio that won't play us anyway.

I am getting excited about the upcoming tour with JUDAS PRIEST, MEGS, and TESTAMENT. I am also getting even more excited about hearing my new guitar partner Chris Broderick put some burning solos down! This is really going to be a record that will make a lot of people that thought we couldn't do it anymore sit up and take notice. Of course, there will not be a fast-enough song on here for a lot of people, or a heavy enough song, or something that will permit some of our visitors here to piss and moan about stuff.

"It's time to go and make history after I get out of service. I have a purdy good couple of song titles too, that once I get the lyrics onto the songs, I will let you know the titles (or at least the working titles)."

D'accord avec Dave, ça ne sera surement pas un Rust in Peace 2 ... si c'est un bon album, ce sera deja bien ...

Alors en allant là http://megafanclub.megadeth.com/ , y a une vidéo avec un bout de nouveau titre, mais visiblement faut être membre pour mater la vidéo, si quelqu'un est, qu'il donne son avis

Ca avance :

"12 songs are recorded. We have one more to go. I was thrashing to this new stuff this morning, and except the songs that are intentionally slower in certain parts, this is a rather fast record.

We are just about ready to send Shawn home from doing his drum tracks, which means in real fuzzy math, that we are almost 25% done with the recordings. Now we just need to continue to structure the songs for lyrics, and solos and we are done!

Please keep your fingers crossed that we will be able to get this sucker in the pipeline at Roadrunner before we leave for Priest Feast !"

apparemment, ils veulent boucler l'enregistrement avant de partir en tournée avec Priest ... il reste moins d'un mois pour tout torcher alors que certains morceaux ne sont meme pas encore finalisés ... j'espere qu'ils savent ce qu'ils font mais ça semble un brin precipité et c'est pas super rassurant ...

S'ils s'y mettent tous, ça peut être torché rapidement. MUSTAINE arrête pas de dire que les autres mettent la main à la pâte.

En même temps, je m'en fous un peu, je l'achèterais pas de toutes façons.

Mustaine manque pas de culot (on le savait déjà). Pour lui Broderick est le meilleur guitariste que Megadeth ait eu. Bah tiens ! On se donne rendez-vous dans 2 semaines au Zénith (il sera sous-mixé comme la dernière fois de toute façon).

MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine has posted the following message in the "Forums" section of the band's official web site:

"Chris Broderick [MEGADETH guitarist] turned 39 yesterday, and I am so proud of this guy. I mean, I watch him play on stage and everyday he gets better and better. We are aware of the reviews, and we still are trying to have a perfect show, so if you think that you have seen a good one, just wait until he starts to feel 100% and then after that, once I start to feel we are at 100%.

"I am going on record and I am saying unequivocally that Chris is THE BEST GUITARIST MEGADETH has ever had. And the real talented musicians in MEGADETH's alumni will agree, he is an absolute monster. I mean, he plays the catalog better than anyone did. Jeff Young never wanted to do Chris Poland's stuff, and so on, and so on, until the last guitarist we had before we disbanded over my arm injury.

"It's funny, because just when I think he can get no more outrageous, or any more thrilling with the guitar solos, he comes up with something really beautiful like Marty Friedman would do (he has Marty pretty well down pat), and then goes into the GIT styles that Jeff Young did, yet, there is still such a freshness to his playing and he is so raw, it's like having a new prize bull. And even though he ain't a such a young bull, he's definitely an old bull like me."

Sacré Dave ... le bon VRP de base ... BRODERICK, on jugera sur piece mais l'episode Glen DROVER qui etait censé etre un tueur m'a bien calmé ... wait and see

et Davounet ferait mieux de moins la ramener et se concentrer sur son album

marty reviens ...

Il reviendra jamais l'ami Friedman, du moins ça me surprendrait beaucoup.

t'façon il le virera dans 2 ans...

Et surtout, il apporterait réelement quoi de plus le père friedman? Ok mes 2 albums préférés sont avec lui (RIP et Countdown) mais bon quel était réellement le rôle de Friedman dans les compos? Je dis ça je suis pas spécialiste mais il me semble que Mustaine a toujours été de loin le compositeur principal et Friedman n'a pas empeché que Youthanasia soit très moyen (à mon avis). Quant à Broderick, il a un bagage technique largement au niveau pour jouer tout Megadeth.

Franchement, je ne sais pas ce qui s'est passé mais dès qu'il s'est barré, les compos sont globalement devenues bancales, mal fichues ... il y a vait une osmose que le groupe n'a jamais retrouvé ... Si marty revenait , je ne sais pas si la saubce reprendrait mais nous aurions au moins l'assurance d'avoir des soli de qualité ... mais bon ça n'arrivera pas, c'est la seule chose dont vous pouvons etre sûrs ...

depuis le depart de Friedman, seul Pittrelli s'en est bien tiré dommage que les compos de TWNAH soient nazes à 80 % ...


IL ne reste plus qu'a esperer qu'ils limitent la casse ...
