I hardly think that blabbermouth is any indication of the metal scene as a whole, let alone Greece. Almost every topic on blabbermouth gets a steady response of "MAN THIS BAND SUCKS" or if its about a woman everyone says either how much they'd like to bang her or how she's so ugly. I don't think Rotting Christ would've been selected to be on the tour if the weren't popular.

Mustaine being reasonable IMO

I think Dave's response was 100% reasonable. If he doesn't want to play with this band, it's completely within his rights, and more power to him. Whatever he has or has not done in the past is entirely irrelevant.

hahha, yeah blabbermouth comments aren't what you read when you're in search of an inspired and informed debate.

Re: Mustaine...being judgemental.

Good ol Dave. Can't stop whining. The guy's first record is called Killing is my Business. Mechanix is about sex, and I'm sure it's not about marital sex. Rattle your goddamn head. A few years ago in an interview he said he's a Christian but he's also a blackbelt and wouldn't hesitate to kick someone's ass if necessary. So why be a Christian then? Maybe he needs to be a monk and take a vow of silence so we don't have to hear is blabbering. Maybe if he focused on writing good music instead of complaining that people on the Megadeth forums are comparing the current lineup to past lineups then the world would be a happier place.

Re: Mustaine...being judgemental.

We've all got our limits when it comes to that sort of thing, and Dave is allowed that.

One of the guys I jam with won't play "Highway to Hell", but he'll play "TNT". I don't think that makes him a hypocrite.

I'll play "Highway to Hell", but I won't put inverted cross inlays in the guitar generator (if you decide to photoshop them in, hey, that's your business). And if I were in a full-time band that was offered a slot in the F*ck Christ tour, I'd kindly pass, thank you very much.

I think there's an allowable grey area with this sort of thing. Otherwise all we'd have would be Satan worshippers and extreme fundamentalist Christians. Everyone gets to decide for themselves where they draw the line.

Yeah, but if it were the Fuck Satan Tour, I'm sure you and your band would go out with Stryper and Believer, right? [img]/images/graemlins/poke.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Well, I guess that would only stand to reason that if I am anti-Satan I'd be pro-Christianity. Actually, I'm not even all that religious, and I'm not in a Christian band. But my point is, that you don't need to be of a bible-thumping, "Pokemon is leading kids to Satan" type of mentality to draw the line at something that couldn't be more sacriligeous.

I'm also not a member of PETA, but I wouldn't support an organization whose sole purpose is to abuse animals for fun.

Re: Mustaine...being judgemental.

Dave's the one turning down the business, so it's his call, isn't it?

Given his history, though, I do wonder if there is more to it. I wonder if he is going to personally vet the lyrics of every song by every band on the Gigantour? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Mustaine...being judgemental.

I wonder if Dream Theater will be performing whole Metallica albums note-for-note on "Gigantour."

Re: Mustaine...being judgemental.

hmmmm...


well I sure the fuck like some Rotting Christ's albums better than SOME ...cheezy , stinkin' , boring , lame ass ...very GAY megadeth albums like fucking ...RISK..TWNAH...or most of CW!!!! [img]/images/graemlins/eviltongue.gif[/img]

at least Rotting Christ never copped out or tried jumping on any trends and try and sound like "load" or whatever is popular...I think Dave lost touch of reality and the whole "metal" attitude all together....

Jesus , Business , whinning , metallica and metal...well it just don't mix very well..do it! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Mustaine...being judgemental.

Dave has a long history of not wanting to play with black metal bands, and he handled this in a mature, professional way. I'm sure some people are going off on him because of his track record of whining and moaning, but I don't see the big deal behind this one. I'm sure RC wouldn't want to play a string of dates with Stryper and Amy Grant.

It's like AlexL said, life isn't all black and white. The 90s end, and all of the sudden everyone is drawing their line in the sand. Yes, no. Right, wrong. Well, I enjoy living my life as maybe and just a little bit wrong.
