Music of the week

Monday, February 25, 2008 9:50:44 AM

,

In 1981, Dave Mustaine exploded into the rock scene as a bandmember of a new band called Metallica. Two years later, he was kicked out of the band, supposedly due to drugs. I'm so glad that happened, because in 1983, he formed Megadeth. Now, Megadeth's style has changed over the years, each sound brilliant - but there is one album that I am currently playing a lot, which is Youthanasia.

This came out in 1994, after Mustaine had gotten clean in rehab, and, unsurprisingly went platinum. If you listen to anything today, make it Youthanasia. All the tracks are fantastic - and that's rare.
My favourite tracks -
Train Of Consequences
Victory
Addicted To Chaos
I Thought I Knew It All
...oh hell, they're all good. Mustaine's a king.
All tracks at Fank .
And remember, it's illegal to download stuff you don't already own.

Word of the weekUp close and personal with Mr Foo

Never really got into Metallica or Megadeath for some reason although I have some tracks somewhere:left:

Spaggyj Monday, February 25, 2008 12:09:53 PM

I think this album would suit you in particular, actually bigsmile . Actually, look up the song Sweat And Bullets by Megadeth, I think it's on the album Countdown To Extinction, it's really dark and strange, you'd like it x

Bad WolfCois Monday, February 25, 2008 12:16:26 PM

Will do.. Time to expand my tastes methinks.. headbang

Spaggyj Monday, February 25, 2008 12:24:27 PM

I have been, since Fank had an overhaul. Next weeks music is something I decided to try out for new, too. I've mainly been getting albums from artists I have heard songs by before, but ones I haven't heard yet, just to see if I like their other stuff. It's fun bigsmile

Spaggyj Monday, February 25, 2008 6:23:40 PM

LOL! Do lemme know what you think, then. OH! Frequency - are you sure it's Will Smith, and not Dennis Quaid??

Dacotah Monday, February 25, 2008 6:25:35 PM

He was the answer to a quiz question a while ago. Yes, I got it right bigsmile.

Spaggyj Monday, February 25, 2008 10:04:59 PM

Clint - what? What happened? Your laptop dead?! sad . And yeah, a complete overhaul - all album art and everything's included now. I think Mik has a post about it actually...

Rosie - I know I can count on you for musical culture, you're the best! heart

theoddbod Monday, February 25, 2008 10:11:16 PM

I've got a bit of Metallica, but I've never heard any Megadeth.

Spaggyj Monday, February 25, 2008 10:16:10 PM

Which Metallica do you have? I can't believe you've never heard any Megadeth! But, then, I'm actually only starting to really love them recently. People are usually one or the other, you know?

theoddbod Monday, February 25, 2008 10:26:11 PM

Only a couple of tracks. I borrowed 'Master of Puppets' and 'And Justice for All' from a mate at uni, but I don't have them now. I have MP3s of 'Unforgiven' and 'Enter Sandman', but that's it.

r♡serose-marie Monday, February 25, 2008 10:32:59 PM

Heh no, that's occupational injury on my part, Kimmie. Thanks, though bigsmile.

Stomyr Monday, February 25, 2008 10:56:53 PM

Dacotah Monday, February 25, 2008 10:57:17 PM

That's ok Kimmie. xXx
Still hope you watch the movie soon. bigsmile

Spaggyj Monday, February 25, 2008 11:21:24 PM

Bah, Mart, that's pitiful mad !

I know that, Rosie - but it doesn't mean you can't be respected for it! irked .

Stomyr - what's your favourite Megadeth album? bigsmile .

Carol - still sorry, and I promise I'll get it soon x x

Dacotah Monday, February 25, 2008 11:23:18 PM

Kimmie, please don't be, if I made the mistake you wouldn't want me to keep being sorry. I'm happy to hear you will get it soon. smile

Can I email you? sad

Spaggyj Monday, February 25, 2008 11:28:39 PM

What the hell do you mean, "can you email me"?!?!

YES! YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK!! heart do it now, I'm worried about you x

Stomyr Monday, February 25, 2008 11:28:48 PM

I don't have a favourite album - I like different tracks - like Symphony of Destruction smile

Spaggyj Monday, February 25, 2008 11:31:21 PM

I like that one. And Countdown To Extinction, and Sweat And Bullets. I think my very favourite right now is between Train Of Consequences and Addicted To Chaos.

Stomyr Monday, February 25, 2008 11:33:10 PM

smile

Dark FurieFurie Monday, February 25, 2008 11:39:31 PM

Dark FurieFurie Tuesday, February 26, 2008 12:04:13 AM

Note to self - don't trust South Africans.

Speaking of which, did anyone else give Callya their life savings for an investment plan shortly before she disappeared?

Spaggyj Tuesday, February 26, 2008 12:09:32 AM

Sorry, SWEATING Bullets, and it's actually on the album Symphony Of Destruction.
