    I've read a couple of articles regarding this issue... One was about
    Marty, and how he'd gotten sick of playing heavy metal, and since he
    was getting more and more into pop music and bands like Garbage (he
    mentioned others, but Garbage's the only one I remember), he felt like
    recording a pop-oriented album, with songs that would appeal to more
    people (that is, that would sell more records) than the stuff he did
    with Megadeth... And he said that if people considered that
    selling out, so be it... That was the reason he gave for leaving
    Megadeth...

    The second was with Dave, and he said the reason why the band did an
    album like "Risk" was to try and "break the barrier that the music
    industry presents to those bands who don't sound like Hanson" (that's
    not the exact quote, I'm retranslating that)... And as they didn't
    reach their goal, the new album will be similar to RIP and their old
    stuff, more agressive and heavier... He also says Al has fit perfectly
    into the band, that they have already finished recording 8 tracks,
    that other 6 are on the way, and that the guitar work is very good...

    Both of them mentioned that Marty's exit of the band was friendly...

    Cheers,
    Adriano

    How about the Inhumanoids? THOSE were some kick ass toys! There
    were 3 bad guys that had to be like, a foot tall. One was a plant
    type guy, I think the 2nd was a volcanic-themed one, and (the best)
    one had a cow's skull for his head, and you could open up his ribcage
    to trap the good guys in.

    GI Joe was classic. I remember I had the Cobra base (anyone remember
    the movie with Sargent Slaughter? They also fucked up Cobra
    Commander and made him turn into a giant snake). And who could
    forget DINO RIDERS! The huge T Rex with all these cool missle
    launchers on it...ahhh brings me back to my pre-adolecent days :-).

    Wile I'm on a roll, anyone remember Captain N? It was made up of
    various Nintendo characters, and starred the aformentioned Captain,
    with his pet dog, Duke, and a Nintendo controller strapped to his
    belt, and the Zapper gun for a weapon. Kid Icarus was on there, so
    was Mega Man. The bad guys were Mother Brain (from Metroid), this
    eggplant guy, and King Hippo from Punchout (another great game). The
    Mario Bros. show with Captain Lou Albano as Mario was awsome too.

    I do, as a matter of fact. Looking forward to his work on Spider-Man.

    Check out some of Brian Michael Bendis' stuff: Powers, Sam &

            Which is understandable, considering that it's a really weird name
    for a band that plays what they play. I understand people liking that
    kind of catchy hard rock stuff... but they haven't been a particularly
    heavy band... they've been getting lighter and lighter, but without making
    the changes that are sort of required to make lighter music sound cool.

    > He also stated that "Megadeth never made the commitment I wanted to being
    > more mainstream"

            As in "shit or get off the pot." They're in a no-man's land right
    now. They are writing what was essentially a transitional form of metal,
    from the late 80's thrash sound to what they feel could sell now. But
    they're not going all the way. It's like they know they'd have to deal
    with the same sellout comments that Metallica gets, but they know that
    fewer people like Mustaine's voice than do Hettfield's. What I won't sit
    back and deal with is people saying this is all Marty's fault. Look where
    he came from. Hawaii, Cacophony, Dragon's Kiss... he was a really
    psychotic player, with all manner of pointy "metal" guitars. He
    knows how to write, play, and appreciate heavy music. Mustaine
    himself made the comments about it being a business, and wanting to make
    more money, and write more commercial tunes. He said that on MTV in an
    interview on some farm in Phoenix.
            And the thing isn't that they're writing lighter music. I love a
    lot of music that's not remotely metal. I have several albums that I've
    been embarrassed to hear played in elevators, store sound systems and "on
    hold" music. The problem is that what they're writing now means so little
    and it's stylistically weak. It's cool to disagree... I know I'm not
    speaking for everyone... but to me it doesn't sound like there's ANY
    effort being put into Megadeth albums. It's SO bland and boring. That's
    never been Friedman.

    > and that "They'll be able to make better Megadeth music

    > inspiring music, his answer was "Goo Goo Dolls, Garbage, and Fastball." I
    > think we can safely arrive at the answer that yes, Marty was responsible for
    > Megadeth's style changing (Although probably not solely him)

            Why is it a big deal that a guy like Marty would be into a band
    like Garbage? It's so sad when people are so pompous as to actually
    believe in the Manowar motto of "if you're not into metal, you are not my
    friend." Some of you would be in for a real life lesson if you saw what
    some of your favorite musicians listen to.
            And again, I defy you to tell me that a new member of Megadeth is
    going to redirect the band. Friedman had about as much control over
    Megadeth as I do. He was an employee, not a member of the board. As for
    Megadeth making a heavier album, anything's possible. It's possible that
    I may one day be a Cubs fan. But I'd recommend placing your bets
    elsewhere.

            I will repeat it if you need me to. It sounds like you've got
    prog syndrome. Repeat after me: "It's okay to like simple music. Music
    doesn't have to be complex to be cool." Nothing Sav ever wrote is nearly
    as challenging as RIP. I don't recall ever saying that I didn't love
    Savatage since I was a little kid. I would say that IMO everything
    they've done post Criss is crap, even though I know a lot of you love
    it. That's cool. I don't mean to say that I'm some kind of
    authority... listen to what grabs your ear, and why pay attention to what
    someone else says about it. People who can't handle contradicting
    opinions are likely people who are afraid to let a friend find out that
    they own a Beastie Boys album or a Sarah McLachlan album.

            I'm not making Marty out to be a god. But I would have to say I
    am at LEAST as on top of this subject as anyone else on the list. I've
    been a Friedmaniac for 12 years. Friedman IS a genius player. I know
    this. I have the music and the footage to back up my assertion. He is
    absolutely a unique player. Pitrelli is a GREAT player, and does have
    tons of chops. He will absolutely learn Marty's licks and play them
    well. But he won't sound the same, and he would never have come up with
    them on his own. Pitrelli is a working man's guitarist. SO many
    guitarists try to sound like Friedman. I've never heard of anyone trying
    to sound like Pitrelli. They've been out there about the same amount of
    time. What's your explanation?

            Grow up. Pop does not automatically equate to crap. Furthermore,
    I clearly stated that Friedman took the sell out route with the rest of
    the band. What you need to realize is that just because it's metal does
    not make it good, and just because it's not metal does not make it
    bad. There is good and bad in every style of music. There is more
    musicianship on some Madonna songs than on some Savatage songs. Great
    players can make music that you don't like. That doesn't mean that it's
    bad music and it doesn't mean that they're bad players. Janet Jackson had
    a bassist that would TEAR Myung a new bunghole.

    *long, authorative, informative, tastes great, less filling(?), Chris
    Ptacek post snipped*

    One thing I think you always leave off on Marty's list of credentials,
    Chris, are his latter solo works. Although I wasn't too fond of True
    Obsession, I think Scenes and Introduction are the best two to point out
    that Marty is and never has been "all about metal." His neo-classical
    shred throughout alot of his older Cacophony and Dragon's Kiss works are
    dazzling and aggressive enough to TKO Mike Tyson. And I think that stuff
    in particular tends to (no offense) suck a rhino horn. Technically
    brilliant, musically confusing enough to make Rosie O'Donnel join the NRA.

    Scenes and Introduction, however, take you to that nice, warm grassy
    meadow where the slender, playful, wooly sheep prance about you so
    alluringly. You look around to make sure no one's watching before you
    reach out and caress one until... um. They're just great albums. :)

    Dude, Silverhawks and Thundercats were my world when I was younger. I remember the Silverhawks toys were made kind of cheaply, the arms always broke off. Silverhawks were pretty short lived, but Thundercats had a pretty big following, (they were on Cartoon Network last I knew, still could be....) I had a TON of Thundercats toys, wish I still had those. Then it was the Ninja Turtles...holy shit man, I never had so many toys of one context. I had EVERY item with a TMNT trademark. Blankets, toothbrush, cameras, weapons, boxers, EVERYTHING. I still have all 4 original toys. I have a shitload of Ninja Turtle stuff at my father's in NYC. Then Power Rangers came along and wiped out the Ninja Turtles, which really bummed me out. I bought the Power Ranger toys when they first came out, and they broke pretty easily as well. I still have a few of those....

    Guitar Feedback:

    The taps Steve and Joe are doing are harmonics, I'm guessing you saw the tap stuff Joe did in "Flying In The Blue Dream", he hits a note and sustains it with a harmonic, then it starts feeding back.

    After "Answers", is a perfect example of how placement of the guitar can achieve feedback tones. Steve moves around the stage just sustaining feedback notes, he only flubs it once when the note doesn't change!

    Why don't you just say it?? Megadeth is total shit now... :) Even total shit is still 100% better than Metallicrap though...

    Well my answer is NO. To all of those! So, i whine. By fucking whining theres a very slight chance that my situation changes. Better to try than= to stand there doing nothing. Monterrey to Mexico city: around 12 hours by car. Can=B4t drive there. I = would exceed the thousand bucks (or be close to it). I have already made 2 12 hour bus trips to see DT. But now i cant do it because of other obligations. So, if a Mexico city is included, i have to wonder why Monterrey is not.We are between Texas and Mexico city. Here ya go whiny boy, i hope to entertain you with this one. ----- Original Message ----- ]From: Carlos A.
