Re: Megadeth's final album and tour

Dave should just hire a good singer and just play guitar... He honestly should've done this in '83. The problem with Megadeth was never the instrumentation. It was always the pissing and moaning and the voice and the lyrics. As far as metal goes, Dave writes above average lyrics...I mean, he's no L...

Re: Recreating Monsters of Rock Tour w/ Tributes

I just can’t get behind tribute bands… at all. No matter how good they may be. I recognize that some folks want to “hear those songs played live.” Fine. To each their own.

I was let down, but not from the point of thinking they were selling out. It just sucked...

Poison's first album was a low budget rush job on an indie label. Mötley's first was self released. Makes zero sense that they would pay ghost writers or musicians back then. They just got lazy or ran out of ideas after a couple of albums. Poison flat-out lifted other people's songs for their debut...
