Fractal Fanatic
If I could mute Mustaine's vocals I would listen to the songs.
With a 30 year history and 17 albums under their belt... someones listing :?. How do you even qualify that post?
LOL. And complete fail.
Megadeth makes Justin Bieber seem like a credible musician. Mgeadteh doesn't have a single hit worth mentioning, or giving a listen to. Bieber probably has a more mature and intelligent fan base as well I'm sure that are at least able to think for themselves, unlike any mgeadteh cber amri fan base.
Wow. "Played backwards?" That fallacy was laid to rest years ago with all the fuss over Beatles' songs played backwards.There's a number of songs from Megadeth where if played backwards you can hear Mustaine using the "N" word over and over.
Not to mention the countless "Top Worst Bands of All Time" they've made it on too, don't throw those numbers out. Although, I don't think one could even count it out there's so many...it's just endless. The world would have been a happier place if they didn't keep dishing out so many terrible albums.
I read an interesting opinion about music--One has to have optimism and hope in order to write melody.
Try telling that to Nick Drake, or Leonard Cohen, or pretty much all blues players..ever. Some of the most beautiful music and songs in existence have nothing to do with hope and optimism.
No, Mustaine is the fail for being such a racist. There's a number of songs from Megadeth where if played backwards you can hear Mustaine using the "N" word over and over.
Actually The problem is so many consumers believe that just because they bought a ticket, they are entitled to a personalized experience.Entertainers seem to forget, they are just that, entertainers...shut up and play. I don't want to hear your political views, your rants, or your whining...especially after spending $50-$100 for the show. Becoming popular doesn't somehow make you smart, articulate or politically savvy. Your job, that you are being paid for, by the fans, is to play the music. Sure funny banter here and there is part of the show but a political monologue or verbally bashing another band is uncalled for.
Reading through some of the posts there is one thing I find that I completely agree with...that the promoters and festival organizers were absolutely at fault without question. Who in their right minds puts Megadeth as their headliner!?!? Amateur mistake for sure, and Finland should be ashamed for allowing the band in their country to begin with. No reason to muck up such a beautiful place with Dave Mustaine and his cronies.
After this event there as been a worldwide movement of blackballing the band, and a boycott against any future shows that involve them.

The bottom line for any professional touring act they can keep on touring *if people are still buying tickets*.
Everyone has their loves and hates with respect to bands and musical genres, but at the end of the day, the only power the listener has, is to not buy a ticket or not buy a download.
If you follow rock history, punk history, Elvis, Coltrane, even Olivia Newton John had some shenanigins with a missing husband... there is a long history of substance abuse, crazy sh!t, urban myth etc. Let's just call it... us musicians can be a really messed up bunch of people lol
Part of what makes Megadeth "themselves" is Dave's shenanigins. Not unlike Joe Walsh trashing hotel rooms when he was a kid or Keith Moon driving a Rolls Royce into a swimming pool... blah blah blah pick your sad story
If a promoter puts a known trouble maker on a festival bill, they are just trying to sell tickets, plain and simple. It's all about the cha-ching.
