I'm strangely fascinated by this video:


YouTube - Sugarcubes - Motorcrash


Only Bjork could sing about a car crash and make it sound sexy.

Default Megadeth!!

I used to HATE Megadeth!! or maybe it was just Dave Mustaines ridiculous curvy red womanish hair. How does the bible verse go? 'One cannot love both Megadeth and Metallica, for he will love one and hate the other...'? But now that Metallica has totally sold out and started releasing TOTAL CRAP (St. Anger, anyone??!?!) Megadeth seems OK by comparison. I've desensitized myself to some of their more popular songs.

Lars is a fink.

Metallica sold out? The biggest paradox in metal. Metallica's sales in albums plummeted after they "Sold out". The truth is that Selling out is one of the biggest myth in music scene. No band can control the number of sales by simply changing the style. Metallica is way more important to metal than Megadeth. Megadeth is just the "Dave Mustaine's Band", always in the shadow of metallica. At first Megadeth seems as an act of spite form Dave Mustaine, until Rust in peace and Countdown to extinction which contains the most stable and most talented group of musician that megadeth ever had, but Metallica was always lightyears ahead in innovation and experimentation.

Metallica's decline in my opinion, is a controlled chaos. They know who they are and what they represented in the eighties. But this material wouldn't worth anything if they hadn't change their style. This is when you start to appreciate romantically the old stuff creating a nostalgia effect. Their change was necessary.

In a summary. Megadeth NEVER was bigger or stronger than Metallica. Never ever.

Megadeth may be more technical but old -school metallica smokes them overall.

The Black album is where they radically changed their style and that is their biggest selling album by far. It also happens to be an awful album and the complete antithesis of what Metallica seemingly were about. Metallica were one of the major players in dragging Metal into the mainstream and for that we can be grateful, however they seemed to forget their roots and allowed themselves to be manipulated by the corporate machine. Megadeth didnt have the same impact and Mustaine can come across as an ego ridden tat bag sometimes but he is certainly no worse than Lars Ulrich in this respect. Megadeth have generally stuck to the same musical formula throughout their career and I find their music much more palatable these days compared to Metallica.
