Megadeth Begin Recording New Album

Scott — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 16:40:32 +0000

It looks as if Dave Mustaine has put the gears in motion and Megadeth has begun to record the follow up to United Abominations. The brand new custom constructed studio has been named "Vic’s Garage". Just a quick note before I post what the announcement said: I’ve been a Megadeth fan for a long time and have spent a lot of money on Megadeth merch. I hate the fact that it’s almost a grueling process to register to become a forum member and even then you privileges are limited. It’s just like the Metallica fan club thing. As if you don’t shovel out enough money on cd, t-’s and show tickets, you have to pay to know more about the band? However they do send you a bunch of stuff as a Megafan, so I guess if I joined and paid, I couldn’t really complain too much. Dave Mustaine Issued the following statement on the Megadeth Forums:

"It is official — the MEGADETH studio [located near San Diego, California] is alive and we have christened it Vic’s Garage. As of approximate 5:00 p.m. PST today (October 9), the first notes were recorded here on guitar. Set your watches, kiddies! We are calling it for the night. Shane [McConnell, the 'System Lord' of MEGADETH's official web site, Megadeth.com] is coming out and his flight was late. Hopefully he won’t feel too bad when he gets here and we are gone!"

I can’t wait to hear what they have to offer this time around. If it’s a step up from United Abominations, then I think we are in for an awesome album.

Megadeth Working On New Record

Scott — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 15:22:42 +0000

OK, well Dave Mustaine and 3 other dudes are working on a new album. I shouldn’t really say that. It’s still Megadeth as long as Dave is there…and he owns the rights and all that good shit. Looks as if Andy Sneap will be producing this one as well. Not much more details than that. I just hope that it will be better than United Abominations. UA was their best work since probably Youthanasia, but I still think it could be better. Hopefully I can catch them on tour this time around. ʂɰ

CD Review: Megadeth United Abominations

Scott — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 13:00:18 +0000

I know this CD had been out for awhile now but I just got it after a long hesitation. After Cryptic Writings I was very hesitant to buy another Megadeth CD. I didn’t even bother with risk and The System has Failed just didn’t do it for me. I’ve tried to convince myself many times that “System” is a good cd. I take it out to the car and try to listen to it on my way to work but I take it out after two songs and it sits in my glove box until I bring it back inside again.

So I finally bought United Abominations on Friday. So far I love it. Sleepwalker reminds me of a new Black Friday. This CD is packed with great riffs, rhythms and solos from both Drover and Mustaine. Although united abominations, Amerikstan, Gears of War, and Washington Is Next are quite political the rest of the songs are kept simply metal anthem type songs. This is probably the best record since Youthanasia. Much better line up than “System” and Risk. You can tell that this line-up really clicks and I look forward to seeing what else they can do.

To all that Like to compare Megadeth and Metallica, nothing Metallica has put out in the last 17 years can even compete with United Abominations. I’m glad I finally bought this. I would recomend it to anyone. You’ve done the fans proud, Dave! 4 Stars!
