Talk:Megadeth

Progressive Metal?

Megadeth is NOT progressive metal, that's all. Rust in Peace is —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.9.6.204 (talk) 18:18, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

No, it's not. Having just quite technical solos =/= a progressive album. Having all of the songs less than 7 mins =/= a progressive album. Having simple riffs with no tempo changes =/= a progressive album. I think you get the point. They aren't progressive in any way. --79.64.234.155 (talk) 01:28, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

No, it's not progressive but that album does display many qualities of progressive metal, most notably Five Magics.

F5

David started this metal/hard rock group called F5 and I was wondering if I should ad it as a "assosiated acts" thing —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.178.152.137 (talk) 21:32, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

No source for Hard Rock....again

I've removed Hard Rock from the page once again, as there still isn't a source stating as such. Quxert (talk) 16:01, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

This-- was the only "source" this manufactured argument ever had. 147.97.241.59 (talk) 01:34, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

It doesn't look like they'll ever find a source. But apparently it's a valid addition. With no professional review stating "Megadeth has hard rock consistently throughout their entire discography", there is obviously not a real consensus here. 75.111.124.82 (talk) 00:26, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

And, if you look back at archived discussions, the consensus is composed of Wiki Lib's sockpuppet regime. The current 206.X and 68.X IPs lurking around, hmmm... 75.111.124.82 (talk) 05:56, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Left handed?

Is Mustaine left handed or right handed? It says that the group broke up in 2002 because he broke his left hand. BulsaraAndDeacon (talk) 09:53, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Mustaine is right handed. And Megadeth didn't break up because he broke his left (fretting) hand; he had a nerve injury in his left hand. Majestic122 (talk) 18:03, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Yeah right handed he strums with his right hand.—Preceding unsigned comment added by MetalShark (talk • contribs)

Their name

Shouldn't the article mention how the idea for their name came from Dr. Strangelove? Nymersic (talk) 01:50, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

No source for Hard rock...still.

I seriously had enough of this, people should follow Wikipedia's guidelines that no original thoughts should be added, therefore all content must have reliable sources. Adding genres like hard rock deemed debatable must have a reliable source. This means that even if you add a source, unless it follows Wikipedia's guidelines on what constitutes a reliable source, you shouldn't add it. Please follow guidelines, participate discussions, and stop removing my note in the genres section before adding other genres like hard rock or any other information.

The words "hard rock" on any subject not having to do with the album Risk was brought up by Wiki Libs sockpuppets (which you can see struck out on the argument you are referring to). Before then, the page contained merely heavy metal, thrash metal, and speed metal (FA status). 147.97.240.240 (talk) 05:45, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Associated Acts

Shouldnt Metallica been on the assoiciated acts list, Dave was in Metalllica, And shouldnt Slayer be on their as well, Kerry King was in Megadeth for a short period of time. And also they are also kind of all linked together beacuse of the 'Big Four' label. --XBurningAlive (talk) 16:39, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

No. According to Template:Infobox musical artist, groups with only one member in common should be avoided.--Cannibaloki 17:01, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

megadeth concert tours

Why hasn`t anybody started the article about Megadeth concert tours like Metallica, Kiss, Aerosmith, AC/DC and so on.. have???

Slayer has the same problem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.40.12.217 (talk) 10:42, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

New Album For 2011?

I read in ultimate guitar (http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/upcoming_releases/megadeth_aim_for_new_album_in_2011.html) that megadeth says is possible that next album will be released in 2011, should that be added to the article?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Karvaky (talk • contribs) 17:32, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Anthrax Info

in Endgame to present can someone explain what the last sentence has to do with megadeth?

"Anthrax recently welcomed back singer Joey Belladonna and now permanently back in the band, will be front-and-center"74.43.55.167 (talk) 16:44, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

2011 Album Release Date

Tonight, on the Cyber Army chat, Dave said the album will most likely be out after summer 2011. He also said there is to be a Peace Sells tour next year and a Countdown to Extinction tour in 2012. He revealed he has about 8 songs written as of now —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.209.4.247 (talk) 01:01, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Record Labels

Shouldn't Sanctuary Records be on the labels list too because they've been with them around 2002 (Rude Awakening came out under Sanctuary) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.125.4.202 (talk) 09:13, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Mustaine wishes to retire after new album in 2011

It has been put on record that Dave Mustaine has said that he wishes to retire after this next contracted Megadeth album with roadrunner records. This leaves the future of the band uncertain after the end of 2011.This should be discussed in the article.(march 2, 2011) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deth777 (talk • contribs) 14:14, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Source?--L1A1 FAL (talk) 20:56, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

perhaps this interview? http://www.heavyhell.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6365:dave-mustaine-prefer-retirement-before-roadrunner-records&catid=29:interviews&Itemid=2

--L1A1 FAL (talk) 21:01, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Genre

I don't think the first source for Hard Rock is good. Are the guys from "Ilikemusic" experts? Megadeth have absolutely no Hard Rock music. People generalize. "Hard Rock" isn't just a harder form of rock. It's different from genres like Heavy Metal or Punk Rock. Megadeth is not hard rock.--Revilal90 (talk) 18:00, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

It fits for some of of Youthanasia, some of Cryptic Writings, and most notably Risk. Just because it says 'hard rock' doesn't mean its calling ALL of their back catalogue hard rock, only some parts of it.--L1A1 FAL (talk) 20:53, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Megadeth Now

Now in 2011 Megadeth is doing real good with there album Endgame.And Dave Mustaine (former Metallica guitarist)is on big tours in Europe!--BloodofHeroes (talk) 14:30, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

"Kicking arse"

"Self-satisfied hairdressers"

Main pic

Although this sort of music is not really my cup of tea, and I'm uncertain why I have once again ended up on this page, it strikes me that as a main photo in the infobox we want something that shows the outfit "kicking arse" rather than a photo in which they look like a group of self-satisfied West Coast hairdressers applauding their latest attempt at a cut'n'blo. I have tried to effect this change once before and someone reverted it, so I am now both trying again and attempting to elicit an opinion from all you heavy-rockin' cats out there. Ericoides (talk) 06:06, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

I think the latter image is more recent (and one must also take into account the lineup changes since '08 - G. Drover was replaced by Broderick, and LoMenzo was replaced by the returning Ellefson) and that may be one reason it keeps getting put up. That being said however, I cast my vote for the earlier "kicking arse" image, as it's more what one would expect to see on a page about a heavy metal band. Ultimately, what's needed is a current (featuring current members) image of the band doing a show. --L1A1 FAL (talk) 06:05, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

This one's for the cause

the article currently states (in the So Far So Good So What section): "On May 11, 1988, at a show in Antrim, Northern Ireland, Dave Mustaine drunkenly dedicated the song Anarchy in the UK to the IRA saying "This one is for the cause, give Ireland back to the Irish!", causing a riot amongst the audience between Catholics and Protestants" According to interviews with Mustaine what he said was just "This one's for the cause." A 'friend' had told him to say it and Mustaine claims to have not known what it meant at the time.
