Originally released in 2003, The Soundtrack To The Apocalypse is a must collectible for any Slayer fan. The box is kind of cool and it’s shaped and opens like an Ammo can. You get a small slayer tapestry, a mock Slayer concert pass, 4 cd’s of music and a DVD with some old school live slayer and other rare footage.
Box sets these days as I mentioned with the Megadeth Warchest, are not like the box sets of old. They are more or less compilations of some of the bands greatest hits, live tracks and rarities. For the price the Slayer …read more

Dave Mustaine has been rather tame for awhile now and you all know as well as I do that no matter how much you love Megadeth and Dave, he never fails to say something so off the wall that it makes you wonder why you like him. Dave speaks his mind. Even when his mind is a bit twisted and all tangled up with his ego. In case you missed it, Blabbermouth.net posted part of a recent interview from Revolver Magazine. Here is a few questions and answers.

I’m sitting here going back and forth through my Megadeth MP3s from the Warchest songs to the original from the cds. I know a lot of people are skeptical when it comes to re-releases and remasters cds but if your Megadeth cd’s are old and/or scratched and your looking for an excuse to replace them then you should look no further.

You know what I love about Dave Mustaine? He is such a perfectionist. While most of the time I say “Leave well enough alone” he knows how to take his old work and make it better. But how can you take a song like In My Darkest Hour and make it better? I thought the same thing until I heard the remastered version on the Megadeth Warchest.
The beginning of the song is different. The way it starts, the way it sounds. The reverb is more define the guitar is cleaner, Jr’s bass sounds more define and everything about the song …read more

Well it’s almost been 48 hours since I tried contacting the winner of the Megadeth Warchest Contest, “Gman“. I have got no response from him yet and if by this time on Friday I still have not heard from him I will award the Warchest to a new winner.

The Megadeth Warchest Contests is still a go and you can click the link on the sidebar to enter. Till then I’m still kinda sampling the thing and this morning I decided to take a good look at the DVD and I can tell you that this dvd is not disappointing at the least.
Recorded live at Hammersmith Odeon, London, England September 30th, 1992. With such classic songs such as Holy Wars, Peace sells and In My Darkest Hour, this10 song live DVD rocks!
Perhaps the best line-up Megadeth ever had in my opinion. Dave, Jr., Menza, And Friedman never let down. …read more

First off I would like to wish everyone that is celebrating the holiday a Happy Thanksgiving. I had a rough day yesterday as I was feeling a bit crappy from a flu shot I got last Saturday. That’s why I didn’t post anything yesterday, but I’m feeling much better and ready to get back on track with a vengeance! So lets go…

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 …read more
