Brother will kill brother Spilling blood across the land Killing for religion Something I don't understand
Fools like me who cross the sea And come to foreign lands Ask the sheep for their beliefs Do you kill on God's command?
A country that's divided Surely will not stand My past erased, no more disgrace No foolish naive stand
The end is near, it's crystal clear Part of the master plan Don't look now to Israel It might be your homelands Holy wars
Up on my podium, as the Know-it-all scholar Down in my seat of judgement Gavel's bang, uphold the law Up on my soapbox, a leader Out to change the world Down in my pulpit as the holier-than-thou Could-be-messenger of God
Wage the war on organized crime Sneak attacks, rappel down the rocks Behind the lines Some people risk to employ me Some people live to destroy me Either way they die, they die
They killed my wife and my baby With hopes to enslave me First mistake, last mistake Paid by the alliance, to slay all the giants Next mistake, no more mistakes
Fill the cracks in with judicial granite Because I don't say it, don't mean I ain't thinking it Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away I know what I said now I must scream Of the overdose and the lack of mercy killings Mercy killings, mercy killings, killings, killings, killings Next thing you know they'll take my thoughts away I think he can see into the future
This is among the top 10 metal songs of all time, and easily the best metal song of the 1990s.
Caleb Johnson
rot in hell dadmetal trash.
Colton Hernandez
Classic
Hunter Hill
He's not dumb. He's smarter than Trump.
Jayden Thompson
I meant the lyrics. People give him shit for being a conspiracy bafoon or religious fanatic (I never heard a God-based Megadeth song). I think he made a mistake when he agreed to hang out with Alex Jones. I think that Alex has good points, but he gave his crazy stigma to mustaine who couldn't handle it.
Logan Cox
He voted for Trump.
Aiden Hall
Megadeth is my favorite band. All you need is Megadeth and Sabaton
Jack Hill
edgy alcoholic kids making music for edgy alcoholic kids
Juan Williams
Kek. Mustaine must have an IQ of at least 190.
Kayden Gutierrez
I can smell you being a fucking Nigger from here.

Thrash isn't dadmetal.

Hey I thought (You) were gone? Nah I was an edgy alcoholic kid back in the 80s. We were called hoods
Michael Cruz
Who wasn't?
Charles Taylor
Do you think Trump will uncuck the white man into making good metal again? The stuff Americans come out with today really stinks
Zachary Lewis
The words of a fucking poser
Alexander Smith
You just have to dig a little. It's a lot like the way things were in the 80's/90's, having to put some effort into finding the gems buried in the glam/nu-metal sewer.
Henry Williams
Japs make the best metal nowadays. Not evening memeing.
Jaxson Moore
This.

Thrash is the purest form of metal.

nah, check out Jeff Loomis, Keith Marrow, and Andy James. Bonus: Guthrie Govan He's not metal but he's a freakin god
Hunter Diaz
Also Mustaine is a rock legend.
Angel Martin
He converted after he wrote their classics
Cameron Green
Babymetal isn't metal. There is far better jpop-influenced nip metal like Light Bringer.
>Jeff Loomis Way past his prime.
>Keith Marrow, and Andy James Literally who
Jaxson Young
Megadeth is redpilled as fuck OP Listen to endgame
Gabriel Scott
Dumb? He's red-pilled.
Henry Jenkins

Jack Sanchez
Thrash metal is for plebeians and sodomites. Try listening to something with a little more nuance, like prog rock.
Go listen to them yourself, no comment on Guthrie either? What's your musical ability like? I can identify Keys, modes, and chords just by listening and have played guitar for 8 years. It's all subjective but I just don't think you have the understanding to appreciate music on a deep enough level to really claim anyone as being the best here.
mustaine is a crybaby, his guitar tone sucks, his riffs suck, his voice sucks
Liam Cruz
Do you really expect me to waste my time on an internet argument?
>I can identify Keys, modes, and chords just by listening and have played guitar for 8 years. >t. perfect pitch autist
Believe me, I'm not one of those "you got to feel the music" fags at all. But I know complexity when I hear it.
It literally isn't though. Most of their "riffs" are just chugs and shit. Later Yousei Teikoku is better if you want that thing though.
Wrong. RIP > anything by Metallica ever
Jose James
Metallica hasn't been relevant since before most people in this thread were born, literally riding on the repuutation of albums that came out 35 years ago. At least Megadeth has gotten better since the 90's.
This post manifested a demon with total dominion over time in front of my monitor and forcibly plunged me back into the early 2000's.
Parker Edwards
Their first albums were the beginning of Thrash Metal nigger.
Grayson Howard
>Everybody
I'll take Mustaine over "everybody" if that's the case.
Mustaine should be President.
Juan Mitchell

Evan Cox

Justin Robinson
>Most of their "riffs" are just chugs and shit. You either didn't listen to more than 2 of their most memey songs (let me guess, Gimme Choco and Karate), or you are in deep denial. Or you don't know shit about metal, but I'm still giving you the benefit of doubt on this one.
Joseph Cox
Wrath and Shogun are objectively two of the best metal albums of all time. Don't knock it because you're too simple-minded to appreciate new metal along with the old.
(Both Trivium and LOG are currently going to shit though, I admit that.)
Christian Russell
>I know complexity when I hear it No, you're misunderstanding. What you think is complex is nowhere near the level of those that I've mentioned, believe me, I saw your Lightbringer post. If you want to talk technical proficiency you've dug yourself a hole with that recommendation, as well as just showed ignorance by going >hurr durr literally who When I mentioned phenoms such as Andy James, Keith Marrow, and Guthrie, especially considering Lightbringer is only barely on the level of Paul Gilbert, they simply need more experience. Next you're going to tell me you haven't heard of Jason Becker or Shawn Lane. Listen to some more musicians, preferably some who went to the Berklee College of Music. Whatever, this is clearly an issue of taste you obviously have none.
Camden Perez
When the American GIs inhabited all those pacific islands during WWII, they brought all sorts of things to the native people there, and when they left, the natives, who thought of them as gods, built airplane idols out of palm fronds and whatnot, hoping that the gods would return.
That's what most modern """metal""" bands are, the natives building idols trying to imitate the gods.
I've always considered Megadeth in their own category called "Prog Thrash."
So kiss my ass and lick my fucking butthole.
Landon Wood
Other than the song that was cowritten with the dragonforce guys and basically power metal, no they aren't metal. Having some down-tuned chugs doesn't make you metal. You need actual riffs. I'm not saying they are bad; actually, I think babymetal is okay. But really there is a ton of better stuff from Japan.
>Wrath and Shogun are objectively two of the best metal albums of all time. wew lad
I never said Light Bringer was complex. Cool buddy, you like wanky shredders that are mediocre songwriters. That doesn't mean your taste is any good.
Gabriel Kelly
>Megadeth has gotten better since the 90s
I'm a pretty big Megadeth fanboy, but I don't understand how people can justify anything after United Abominations. Dystopia is the best thing they've done since then and it's only okay.
John Cooper
>Japs make the best metal nowadays This isn't true, even though Japan's always been a contender for top 5 metal countries since the 80s. Burgers and Germans have always been the best at metal.
Holy Wars is fucking rad man. Recently picked up a really nice esp custom (with a flamboyant amount of mother of pearl inlay) that was seemingly built for playing this song. That reminds me, I've gotta get my intonation sorted. Still struggle rebalancing fucking floyd-rose's.
Anyone got any tips for intonating with a floyd rose bridge?
Kevin White
Not true by the way, lad. One of the best metal albums of the decade is American, combines the best of thrash, black, and power metal seamlessly.
It was all downhill from Holy Wars for metal as a whole.
Benjamin Myers
WHADUYASAY!?
Aaron King
Dude, all you had to say was "I have literally never explored metal as a genre past 1990", the rest of that jazz was unnecessary.
Isaac Allen
I'd take Thirt3en or Endgame any day compared to Cryptic Writings or Risk. And I'd take either of those over anything Metallica put out after ...And Justice For All.
Parker Diaz
Floyd rose? They are really not that great tremolos. Simple wilkinsons are much much better.
Carson Fisher
He is a bit of a nut but nothing bad. The original drummer of Megadeth believed 100% in all of these alien conspiracies.
Mustane said he didn't really believe in that type of stuff but found it interesting.
Robert Lee
and then this happened
Logan Cook
Old bands like Metallica and Megadeth don't make thrash anymore, listen to Overkill instead.
Charles Mitchell
Welp. Im officialy old.
Anthony Reed
Dave is an Israel loving kike.
Marty Friedman is also a kike but he's a based weeb now and wrote most of Megadeths good songs.
Julian Butler
Its all in the bible, dude

Gavin Baker
>Having some down-tuned chugs doesn't make you metal. You need actual riffs. Confirmed you didn't actually listen to them. Basically every song on the 2nd album (Metal Resistance) is different metal sub-genre and they used down tuning only in like 2 or 3 songs where it's stylistically appropriate.
Like Babymetal or not for their meme image and status, but they are more fucking metal than a lot of Western shit and their band are absolute masters of their instruments.
Xavier Martin
Twisted Sister are alright. I love some of their stuff. It's bands such as Motley Crue etc that happened.
Aaron Cook
A few random good bands here and there doesn't mean anything. The problem with most metal nowadays is that most scenes and general trends/movements are just garbage that retreads past cliches poorly. There's very little creative spark or innovation as a whole.
Wyatt Hernandez
So then what does that make the misfits and sex pistols since Metallica and Megadeth were trying to emulate them? And what about black Sabbath?
Music is constantly evolving and building on itself. Anybody who just writes off new stuff because they don't like it as well as their favorite band is missing out.
Matthew Jenkins
Thrash developed alongside those bands. Fuck I must be old.
It's an essential chart, lad, I only posted it to show there's more to the genre beyond shitty gimmick garbage like sigh and babymetal. They have a really huge thrash metal scene.
