Remember seeing this, I was pissed off at the people pushing past me when I was seeing one of my fav bands live, but still awesome. Good vid, slightly miffed they didnt pro shoot it like they did previously, but still nice to watch
Whoa whoa... Calm down. The reason RATM would probably be headlining because Megadeth has been doing shows for a long time. RATM weren't even making songs together, just playing their old material. Also metal nowadays is not what it used to be. Look I love RATM and like Megadeth but you can't compare them because they're both different genres. Also, they both have different skill abilities. Just be proud it's not another Metalica VS. Megadeth battle this time.
Elitist "music" fans make me laugh. When will you guys understand that music doesn't revolve around technical skill? Is Megadeth more technically skilled at their instruments than Rage is? Perhaps, but the point of RATM isn't to go out there and play technical music. Their focus is to deliver a political statement through their lyrics, deliver catchy and innovative guitar riffs and basslines, and to energize the listener with their music. That being said Megadeth and RATM are fucking awesome.
I was at the front for this, it was great there. By the looks of this the rest of the crowd were boring as fuck. Glad I didn't waste my favourite bands set stood with those guys.
What the fuck? The crowd is fucking pish! How can you just stand there when Megadeth are playing? Actually it's a fucking joke! You should be ashamed of yourselves.
it politics of album sales megadeths the real music legends dont get me wrong rage is a good band i like em but hell megadeth had to be a big influance on em considering they both have song about politacal and social issues but megadeth did it first but hell when megadeth played at download in 07 i belive the headlineing act was mcr come on there head lineing over megadeth come on atleast rage is more werthey of headlinig then mcr
Decent set, unfortunately it was the worst performance I've seen them do though, we were on the right hand side, the crowd was far more lively then this
@RyansMind totally agree for me there is not a lot of bands which can play after megadeth(if there are any ;D ) but it's diffrent when the bands like slayer or metallica play after megadeth not sth like RATM
@xCyrusx2008 Well it's all a matter of opinion, but if we're talking ability and skill...Megadeth is 10 times the band RATM is. That's just the cold hard truth.
Not disagreeing with that. If it was all about ability and skill you wouldn't see bands like Linkin Park, Feeder, MCR or Lost Prophets ever headlining festivals. But they have, and will again. Just because songs involve more skill, doesn't mean that the songs sound good, or appeal to more audiences.
@xCyrusx2008 exactly. it's all about preference and the majority of the people today don't care about technical ability, they just care about what "sounds cool"...it's a sad reality if you ask me.
@xCyrusx2008 let me clarify what i meant...i just wish more people would appreciate REAL musicianship instead of going along with what everyone else says is cool.
@RyansMind I totally agree Megadeth is way superior band in any segment then RATM.But what can u do when people of today are a bunch of imbeciles that likes bullshit.RATM is very much overrated,i respect the message but ffs this is music not politics and when it comes to music Megadeth RULES! :)
@RyansMind That's not what music is about, dude. I don't give a fuck if all your playing is power chords. If it sounds good, it sounds good. It seems to me you don't even understand the meaning of music. RATM is fucking awesome, and is a whole different league than Megadeth. You'll find Megadeth at a regular show, while Rage will play Rallies and protest events. I think RATM has much more meaning in there music.
@xCyrusx2008 entertainment and music are two different things, the profession of "entertainer" belongs to acts such as Lady GaGa and related acts (im not trolling) because there isn't so much of a focus on the music, musicians play for the music, and the music only, which in all fairness, i'd sooner see a musician, hence why it's opinion I guess...
Rage actually took some time to engage and talk to the crowd. I couldn't even tell with Megadeth when a new song started and another began. I hardly call that entertainment. Please define why exactly Megadeth are more entertaining than RATM. They have more technique and their songs require a lot of skill, but they are by no means entertaining.
@xCyrusx2008 Thats because Megadeth all about playing music. bands that talk usually know they suck so they have to kiss the audiences arse. thats not what megadeth nor any other thrash band is about. fuck RATM nobody gives a fuck about them exept for pussies
Believe me this was an amazing set. I was forward just to the left of this and the sound was awesome! Just a shame deftones got ahead of them on the bill
@gtar6661 Most of the people; including me weren't there to see Megadeth. Most were waiting for the headlining bands. You don't have to be at the front being pushed around and crushed to enjoy a band.
@xCyrusx2008 Most of the people including you? You should have counted the megadeth shirts against RATM. Nothing against RATM but Megadeth was the blood that evening!
@xCyrusx2008 is it possible to be there not for megadeth??!! lol :D Dave!!!!!!!!!!! but it is ok to stand far, becouse people who want to enjoy more will have more space:)
from where i was standin, just behind the sound stage, it sounded fuckin horrible. kept goin loud then quiet. shame really cos they deserve better than a shit sound mix, and they need deserve a later timeslot
@iain213 It was probably because the wind was blowing the line array making the dispersion angles change, sounding like it was going loud/quiet. Not a shit sound mix. It was bad for the first song and a half, but that's the norm when the engineer is quickly sorting out the levels for the rest of the set.
Could not believe it when they busted out Wake Up Dead. This was my first time seeing Megadeth and I have to say they surprised me that day! So early in the set as well. Fucking awesome.
@oderus18 Well they didn't when they played Download in 2007 so I just figured it'd be more of the same! I'm glad they did this time though, although no Take No Prisoners :(
