Must be the pressure from the new Metallica video Odd that they chose an instrumental. Maybe they're holding out to release the next song? [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQ_-tUKT-nY[/video] Wife and I bought tix for the upcoming tour with Suicidal and Metal Church here at the beginning of October. Looking forward to it
The new guitar player is a great fit for them. I think he had a decent hand in the composition of the songs. By comparison Broderick always sounded and played so out of touch with the music. He could play every note perfect and copy Friedman solos to a T, but it never sounded right. Just goes to show how important band chemistry is
Kiko is a beast. He is a worthy successor to Marty for sure. I listened to Dystopia again after digging the video and it is really good. For how far along in their career they are; it sounds pretty d@mn inspired.
I actually just saw Megadeth saturday and they completely killed, so much better than with Broderick. Dave actually sounded awesome on the vox too. They actually played this song. Kiko seems like a good fit and I think he is a far superior player than Broderick. While he may technically be good, he brings the suck to every band he is in.
great song and even better band now than the last 25 years. I think now with Kiko and Mave together, they could make music that can rival peace sells and RIP. Dystopia is the most pleasant surprise I have had listening to an album in years. I cant believe I am saying this but maves vox are the highlight of this amazing album, his voice has settled into this really nice melodic scratchy thing with a real edge and hes on key like a mofo now. Just great material he keeps writing. I have been on a huge megadeth kick the last few months, Im rediscovering some of the 94-13 material I may have taken for granted and there are some amazing songs in that post CTE catalog.

How were the other bands? Everyone I know is stoked for Among but they don't really interest me. I'm old school

Among? The show was awesome man, Disturbed sucks though
Amon Amarth is awesome man! you should give them a listen, they are pretty accessible. Megadeth and AA we by far the coolest bands to me, and obviously Sabbath.

Jag Panzer would like to have a word with you.
And Amon Amarth is basically viking AC/DC. Their songs blur the fuck together.

I've listened to them before and dig their style to a point. Not something I would listen to regularly but are probably really good live as it is simple, easy to headbang to music.

I've tried listening to Jag Panzer a time or two and always ended up listening to Forbidden or Nevermore or (even) Agent Steel instead. Seemed like over dramatic power metal without any hooks that caught my ear. If anyone has something they do that is feel free to post it up.
But yeah. Dystopia is a weird album. It completely FLOORS me when I listen to it. But nothing sticks to me when I'm done. But I go back and listen to it again and I'm like "How the fuck could I forget this?"...and then I promptly do again.
And my case for Jag Panzer would be Mechanized Warfare...although if you don't like "overly dramatic" power metal, that's probably the exact wrong album to go for. Although I can't imagine listening to Frozen in Fear especially without thinking it has hooks (As uncomfortable as the subject matter of the song may be) You might dig some of their early, more straightforward stuff (Without Broderick.) Ample Destruction is definitely in the upper tier of early US power metal in my book.

I can see that and I kind of agree with you I love it when I am listening to it but it isn't as catchy as you think it is once it's over. For whatever that's worth. Looking forward to the show. Last time I saw Megadeth was probably during Youthanasia tour?
I need to dig in on the Jag Panzer stuff again perhaps. I love traditional metal and should dig the heck out of them given their style, but just could never get into it
