Megadeth Warchest Review

by Scott on November 9th, 2007

So its been hyped a lot and for good reason….It’s Megadeth. The days of box sets has changed. You no longer get every disk or close to it in box sets like you used to. There are a few out there that have that kind of stuff in it like The Misfits Box Set and others but some of those cost a bit more. The Slayer box set was cool, however disappointing. So with the Slayer box set a disappointment I prepared myself for this. While the Megadeth Warchest is a cool design with a lot of great information in its book, the rest of it is just alright.

Most of the songs are songs you probably already have on disk if your a long time fan and the rest is a bunch of demos and live tracks with a few audio interviews with Dave Mustaine. I shouldn’t talk badly about a Contest prize I’m giving away but I think this was rushed to be put together and more time went into the design of the package then the contents of the cd’s and DVD. Would you rather me Bullsh*t you and lie, or would you want the straight facts that I normally feed you?

The DVD is just that…a live DVD of a 1992 show in England, nothing really special. All this doesn’t change the fact that I’m still a big fan and I will be sad when I mail this off to the winner of the contest. I will be happy however to pass this on to someone who just may appreciate it more than I do. Fans are harder to satisfy these days and I say that because I am hard to satisfy when it comes to metal. I just wish more bands would put out box sets like the old where you would get just about every track from the band and you would sit back and listen in complete satisfaction.

I’m still a huge fan and always will be!
