Well you can't really talk about "them"... You can only talk about Dave Mustaine. He IS Megadeth, their lineup keeps changing. They released a new album sometime this year. Its not as good as their older stuff but I don't think its too bad... compared to the kinds of other music that pass for metal nowadays...

I need to listen to UA a little more. Early impression is that it just doesn't grab me, ya know?

They played Ridgefest a couple years ago in Chicago Ridge, Illinois. Not exactly a national headlining tour. They're so far off the radar, they don't exist anymore.

Exactly. Most of what's out their now doesn't compare. I saw Megadeth a couple years ago now, the first Gigantour. That was the first time I'd seen em. Mustaine really is a guitar god, IMHO.

Yeah I've been trying to catch on to it, but I feel like I have to force myself to listen to it... and that's never good!

I actually met Dave Mustaine briefly and watched him in action for a bit with other people around him. I have to say he is kinda a dick. I think that is why Metalica got rid of him. Still I used to love the metal. Some new stuff is good. Try out Scum of the Earth sometime

I never really listened to him much but it looks like he does have a few problems with other musicians

In a nut shell he carries himself like he's a god and everyone else his servants. I am talking about close to 20 years ago (man do I feel old) so maybe he's changed who knows.

Well, it sounds like he's made amends with most of those people, and he's fairly religious now, and you can hear it in the newer music. 20 years can age a person. I'm much different than I was at age 7.

Yeah he is known to be a dick. He's always making comments at people when he plays live. As far as Metallica is concerned, he got kicked out b/c he was so wasted all the time he could barely stand... that and him and Hetfield never got along.

That is a good song, sounds like his old stuff, simple and clean.
