Dave Ellefson back in Megadeth!

His solos on Endgame are boring.

You know, I'm starting to feel that way too. Chris Broderick is an awesome player... clean, fast, precise, is very schooled in theory etc... But he lacks something in his playing... personality maybe? I dunno... I listen and say "wow that was fast and clean" but I'm bored within a couple of seconds.

Marty on the other hand has a ton of personality and style in his playing. I'd could listen to just his solos over and over.

I think its cool that Jr. is back in the band. Lomenzo did a good job though.

I'm exited about megadeth for the first time in years. If only they could get MF back.

PS.Chris Broderick is so good it's not fucking funny.

Martin Barre's solos are boring

Myself and a few others have been listening to Chris long before Megadeth, (Jag Panzer) and he isn't just a speed demon/one trick pony. He is an monster musician! His classical playing is jaw dropping!

His solos on Endgame are boring.

Glad to see them back together i guess but in the grand scheme of Megadeth it was most likely just to please fans. It doesn't matter who gets to stand beside Mustaine in band photos the end result is a product of Mustaines genius. It wouldn't have mattered who played with Mustaine on RIP, they would have been a legend no matter who it was.

Looking at the picture Dave & jr look like they belong, the other guys seem out of place or like fans who got to take a picture with the band.

Like that time Roody cut in front of me at NAMM to get a pic with Mustaine!

It's cool jr is back. Looking at the picture Dave & jr look like they belong, the other guys seem out of place or like fans who got to take a picture with the band. not saying anything bad about the guys, I know Chris can out play me while he is sleeping, but when you think about the tenure jr, Marty, Menza, & Dave had together, it just seems weird seeing someone else in that spot. Similar to when the guy took over for Halford in Priest. The guy sounded killer, but it just looked wierd not seeing Rob. Same thing with Maiden when Bruce was gone. It just didn't seem right.

I don't think anyone's posted it, but I guess James Lomenzo is in Jeff Young's new band...

Chris Broderick can run rings around Marty--I'm really happy that Chris is in Megadeth, since he's deserved a big break for a long time. They could probably use a more energetic drummer, though.

I wonder if Vegas has posted odds yet on the length of Junior's current tenure?

I'm with you on the drummer. My opinon is that Menza was the best drummer in the line up but you know what the say opions are like assholes.................

You know he's better than you think? :think:

[Jacksonguy666]

Dave's a much better bass player than you think.

Oh I know. I was comparing him to steves compositional skills. Davey mustang writes all of their shit. This is evident in how all music by megadeth sounds like megadeth. I agree dave E is good but there are alot of good players out there.

In the grand scheme of things, who cares? I am glad for nostalgic purposes, but Dave Ellefson is no Steve Harris by any standard...
