Megadeth - The Mechanix (cover)

Me covering the Mechanix by Megadeth. In case anyone doesn't know the story, Dave Mustaine was part of Metallica before getting kicked out,and he wrote the riffs to The Mechanix while in Metallica. After leaving the band, Metallica added to the song, changed solos, and renamed it The Four Horsemen. Meanwhile, Mustaine kept the original lyrics, sped the song up, and released this on Killing is My Business...and Business is Good.

A few minor errors, the solo is kind of ridiculous.

haha, youre playing Mechanix with a Metallica poster in the background

[atlhunt47]

@IPlayDaBasss Yep! You don't see my Megadeth poster in that angle.

I just estimate. I have my tuner set at 440 Hz. My tuner tunes to half-steps, so I just tune somewhere between E and Eb for my heavy string (when the needle is right on the border between E and Eb). Its difficult to do, and all I can do is estimate really.

mustaine is playing half step down in this one isnt he. because when i play along with the song i sound higher

[atlhunt47]

@guitarmaster509 Nope. The entire album, Killing is My Business, is played at a QUARTER step down. This was due to shitty producing. So if you play it at standard, you will sound too high, and if you play it at half step down, you'll sound too low!

Mechanix blows "The Four Horsemen" out of the water.

@atlhunt47 i believe it's the same thing in Peace Sells, too :P

silly megadeth, making it annoying for fans to play their stuff

but seriously, megadeth is amazing, and i can barely play the verse riff for mechanix

great cover, too :D

@atlhunt47 Funny how Megadeth is a quarter step down, since most of the older Metallica stuff is a quarter step up :D Awesome cover! Love to see people who love both bands and don't start a god damn flame war all the time. Megadeth and Metallica fucking rule! :)
