Megadeth — Endgame

in
By Ian Gormely (CHARTattack) September 17, 2009 2:13 pm
With thrash metal all of a sudden the sub-genre du jour in the heavy metal world, it was only a matter of time before Megadeth reemerged to remind everybody that as one of the genre's "Big Four" (the others being Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax), they pwn any young upstart nipping at their heals. And what a ripper Endgame is. Megadeth...

Megadeth And Friends Survive Gigantour In The 'Burbs

By Andre Mihsin (CHARTattack) May 1, 2008 1:00 pm
Judging by the look of this summer's concert schedule, it's getting tougher for organizers to put together a decent list of bands to fill all the North American travelling metal festival.Two summers ago, Ozzfest, The Unholy Alliance, Sounds Of The Underground and Gigantour all assembled a different and diverse group of acts and hit most...

Megadeth — United Abominations

in
By Shehzaad Jiwani (CHARTattack) May 15, 2007 1:55 pm
Let's face it: Megadeth haven't released a solid album since Countdown To Extinction, and elitists would argue that there hasn't been a great one since 1990's Rust In Peace. Yet Dave Mustaine remains relevant in the metal world and, after a serviceable comeback with 2004's The System Has Failed, it seems the frontman still has a lot to complain...

Black Sabbath's Geezer Butler and Tony Iommi have reunited with singer Ronnie James Dio, who helped get Sabbath out of a small rut after a couple of dismal outings with original singer Ozzy Osbourne. Now playing under the moniker of Heaven And Hell, the first leg of the reunion tour isn't in Europe or the U.S. — it's in Canada for the first 12...

Megadeth's Mustaine Flips Out At Stellar Gigantour Stop

in
By Andre Mihsin (CHARTattack) September 27, 2006 3:00 pm
Gigantour is the last of four major heavy metal festivals to make a stop in Toronto this year. Any festival is a test of endurance, but short set changeovers and a diverse lineup with a strong headliner can make the experience feel more pleasant and less like a chore. Also, small surprises here and there can give a tired crowd a second wind after...

Megadeth — Killing Is My Business… (And Business Is Good) [reissue]

in
By Tim Melton (CHARTattack) February 12, 2002 2:03 pm
If Dave Mustaine’s claim that most of his early material ended up on Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All and Ride The Lightning LP’s is true then it’s super obvious that Hetfield and Co. took the good stuff! This reissue of Megadeth’s debut, in retrospect, showcases weak songwriting and Mustaine’s vocal stylings are damn near thin enough to give you a paper...

Elbow are getting their own beer. It's an ale called Build A Rocket, Boys!, after their most recent album, and it might possibly be the most interesting thing they've ever done. Maybe the only interesting thing about them. Here's hoping Bud Light isn't more potent. English ale isn't known to be watery and wimpy as fuck. Jane's Addiction's long-...
