Metalheads in black...

[K-LineD]

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.

its too bad he hurt himself. don't get me wrong. but megadeath should of split up in the 80's :p

[K-LineD]

I respect that but no way! the last album was like a tribute to good 'ol metal. To me, Mustaine was the only one making metal music as it used to be.

I like newer bands, but when I want to listed some metal, megadeth is the one.

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?

There going the way Metalica should have gone 6 year ago.....I mean the splitup they suxs big time now and don't deserve anything from anyone speacily fans atn this point after the napster thing....Greedy Bast*rs

[K-LineD]

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

[RazerBack]

I haven't listened to them for awhile, just lost interest in the metal scene after Metallica went mainstream. Jumped onto the EuroMetal bands now. American metal has lost it's heavy edge.

I'm gonna have to buy that new album Rude Awakening.

:ermm:

let us not forget that he wrote some of the songs on 'Kill em All' - so whatever u think of Megadeth - he deserves respect at least for that....

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"!!!!
