Farewell Megadeth. Dave Mustein is seriously injured from his arm and is leaving Megadeth. The group is officially disbanding. Read this:

During the first week of January, 2002, while Megadeth was on hiatus, in Texas, I suffered an injury which caused severe nerve damage to my left arm and hand. It was diagnosed as Radial Neuropathy - specifically, a "compressed radial nerve." My doctors tell me it will take about a year to make as complete a recovery as I can, and even then, we don't know how complete that is going to be. I am working hard with a great team of doctors and physical therapists daily, and God willing, someday I hope to play guitar again.

I'm deeply sad.

I heard about Megadeth last week...a local radio station had a tribute to them...they will be missed. But what happened to Metallica? I mean, I know they really aren't speed/thrash metal anymore, and I know Jason left...but the rest of them are still there...aren't they?...and last I heard they were working on a new album and DVD...due out in october....right?

It's THEIR music and they can do whatever they feel like to protect it. I Do respect good musicians.

Metallica is going to release a song with some rapper, that's something I hate. I hate rap and I hate the fact that once Metallica was great and it was my favorite speed metal band (with the first albums) and then... well they still released some good songs but not that sharp-on-the-edges albums they used to.

Megadeth released good stuff all the way until now they split up. They never "sold out" and thank god metallica fired Mustaine so he would come up with what we knew as Megadeth.

I totally agree. I like rock. I like hip-hop. But, rock-hop or hip-rock or whatever the hell you call it is NEVER good. Just a perversion of music IMHO :p

Metallica disbanded?!?!? i don't keep my ear to the ground like i used to. the last Megadeth i liked was Countdown to Extinction, after that it was a downhill slide. my favorite is Peace Sells and Rust In Peace. i always loved Killing Is My Business to. anybody got the deluxe version they just realesed? anyway that sucks about Megadeth but if Metallica disbanded no big whoop

This disturbing thing about this is the reason for the split.

Speaking as a guitarist, not being able to play through an injury like that must be hell on earth, I bet you hes coming up with some good lyrics now..

As for people bitching at metallica for (suposedly) going mainstream: its music, enjoy it, or dont listen to it. Nothings achieved by slagging it off.

People who 'hate' a band because of a few 'nicer' songs come across as really narrow minded, I really resent this need to be nothing but metal, it gives us such a bad name.

I am also saddened by this news.

for those of you bitching saying they should have broke up in the 80's etc etc..

what about aerosmith, the rolling stones.. black sabbath, the beatles.. ozzy???? all bands that are GREAT and bands like aerosmith are STILL making kick ass music.. ozzy.. i wont even go there.. jerk off's like you have been saying *crap* like that forever and thank god the bands didnt have you morons as band mgrs. or record lables.. we would be without some of the greatest music off all time.

As for selling out. when a band becomes mega popular, like say green day, and everyone runs around calling them a sellout.. who sold them out? nobody. just because you got little teenagers running around singing green day, doesnt mean they sold out and it isnt the bands fault.

metallica did not sell out, they changed with the times. as much as i LOVE master of puppets and justice. they cant keep making the same music over and over and over.. metallica did the right thing and that is why they ARE A HOUSEHOLD NAME.. are you? no.. so take your narrow minded attituded and as the great jamez hetfield would say "METAL UP YOUR ASS"!!!!

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).

      Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
