Would The Eternal have been improved by having Dave Mustaine play on each track?
 

There's a poll.

YES! YES! (and i don't even like megadeth)

goddammit.

There seems to have been a problem with the Sonic Youth Gossip database.

My two most-played albums of 1990: Goo and Rust in Peace.

Mustaine has an autobiography out that I want to get. You think Hetfield
would ever write an autobiography? Hell no. Filling out a crossword puzzle
probably exhausts his brain for a day.

as long as he didn't sing. i strongly dislike megadeth, but i can't deny rust in peace is riff heaven.

which begs the question, would Rust in Peace have been improved by having Kim/Lee/Thurston sing on every track?

So that's what that green light suddenly flashing above my screen was all about.

Dave's a big baby, and a bore.

I always loved how the Megadeth logo was almost exactly the same as the Metallica logo.

Dave's a brilliant guitar player, better than anyone in Metallica (though Metallica's songs were usually better). Megadeth were awesome for a while.

I agree....but technicality doesn't always = good music, which you've already clearly stated.

Dude just fails in the creative department. YOU WERE A DRUNK AND YA FUCKED UP GET OVER IT.

i can hear thurston working really well with those songs in my head. not so sure about kim and lee.

Just finished it. Pretty good read, though it's basically what you expect it to be.

I think he kicks ass in the creative department.

The conventional wisdom is that Dave's absence from The Eternal left a void, in terms of heavy thrashiness. But I think it allowed the songs to "breathe" in a very nice way.

sonic youth just hasn't been the same since dave quit

Or since Uma's not around anymore.

i don't think i've ever heard a megadeth record but i trust everything mark says.

Let's say the book is 600 pages long. On how many pages does he mention Hetfield and/or Ulrich? 601 of 'em?

Rust in Peace probably does deserve the ten, but only sevens for Killing is my Business and Peace Sells?
I saw Dave Mustain's book yesterday, and I remembered watching the Megadeth Behind the Music thing on youtube. It was mostly just stuff like (narrator) "Dave was an out of control rock star living the rock n roll lifestyle!" followed by Dave listing all the different drugs he was a ddicted to and how many times he went to rehab. So I decided not to get it.

Wow, Chris, he just posted those Megadeth reviews; nice to see another big fan of Prind.. I've been reading him for a good 10 years now too... insane!
