Megadeth To Start Recording In Fall

Megadeth's official webmaster Dave McRobb has issued the following update:

"So.... I was talking to my beloved master [Dave Mustaine] tonight on the phone and he wanted me to let you all know that things are moving along oh so well with the brand new studio! The project is in its initial phases... large warehouse type deal... slowly converting into part deluxe recording studio... pre-production... start recording new album in fall! Reminiscent of 'Evolver', wouldn't you say?! In fact we (yes, master Dave M and I) talked about filming aspects of the process and who knows, eh? Sure do love them 'fly-on-the-wall' recording DVD's don't we all?! (heh, no promises yet on that one but it was definitely talked about!). So ya, Dave is quite psyched about this studio and getting the band in, and everyone else involved to lay down some tracks and put out the next stellar Megadeth album! Ahh yes, life is good."

Megadeth's latest album, "United Abominations", was released in May 2007 via Roadrunner Records. The CD has sold around 160,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Thanks for the info to Blabbermouth.net.

The Webmaster Sounds Lame but i guess this is good news sorta too early though

[Local666Union]

I can't wait
United Abdominations was awesome, I hope this one is awesome as well

[me_llamo_juan]

Awesome.

[SlicedBread]

"Sure do love them 'fly-on-the-wall' recording DVD's don't we all?!"

hmmm not copying anyone dave?

looks like dave has seen mission metallica
lol
either way
the last album was awesome
and now that chris is in the band, i cant wait for the next one

[jacksonwarrior1]

hell yeah, Megadeth owns face, every album does.

[Chewy120]

super sweet to the extreme

[ross1234]

awesome, i hope it's like UA

[J.Priest]

Hell yeah!!!!!

[poona]

That webmaster seems like a douche...but **** it all, new Megadeth album. Hooray!

no doubts. Thats pretty much a shot across Metallica's bow, but Dave's been doing that since he was fired.
And yes, this new album will be spectacular. Chris Broderick's musicality will just completely slaughter. And I'm pretty sure that no Megadeth lead guitarist has had 2 degrees in music like Chris does (1 in theory, and I think another in classical guitar, not sure tho). SO, I think this next album will be RIP calibre.

[goon316]

Can't wait to hear what Chris's guitar work adds to a new Megadeth album. I just hope Dave doesn't try and control every aspect and just lets Chris go to work because he is creates amazing music.

[sykguitaryst]

**** popularity and sales! megadeths music is always win. cant wait to see chris' style on display in Megadeth. damn i cant wait!

[dhoyft]

Great news. I honestly can't wait to see what Broderick brings to the table. I want an album to top RIP. We'll see.

Just 1 degree, classical guitar with a performance major.

[bean-o]

I really hope someone doesnt get fired/leaves, this is the best lineup megadeth has had since the oooohh so great friedman/ellefson/menza period. Can't wait till it comes out megadeth rules!

[shattamakar]

dude its not technical expertise that makes a guitarist .....its passion, prescence ,and general awesomeness .....(marty friedman had everything..sigh ).....who cares about degrees..all they do is freeze a particular level on your road to guitarring greatness and give it to you in black and white.....(youre only gonna get better with practice anyway)..,.....angus young didnt even know the names of the chords until ac dc was formed and he became one of the most influential guitarists of all time

Oh, quit it.

Technicality was always with Megadeth.

Oh, and I'll definitely be waiting for this album.

[brett dixon]

At least they make it there priority to record. Metallica waits years for an album to come out, driving fans to the verge of suicide waiting for Death Magnetic.

[666Sabbath666]

Hell yes, it will definitely be much better than the new Metallica album

[Bored to Tears]

I just hope the new album doesn't have those stupid parts where Dave just simply talks over the song.

unfortunate really as everytime megadeth do something it always becomes about Metallica

[hendrixisgod457]

I love how megadeth doesn't make a big deal about their records, they don't wait a million years. They record it, tour, break, and then start over. They mess around like metallica does and build it up like a big thing. Which is great because you dont have to wait a million years for a good record from them

[cukd7x-a2-]

im hoping for another rust in peace sounding album

[hendrixisgod457]

they dont mess around like metallica*

cough cough friedman cough

[Fuzzbox91]

i cant wait!

[DenHond]

Hope they get back to SFSGSW!
Didn't like united abominations...

Really hope Chris doesn't put those f*cking tapping solos in the songs...

[wideheim]

You know about evolver? Thats before metallica, they dont copy everything. They even said the same thing before recording UA and that was long before mission metallica had started up.

[slpknt21]

sweeeeettt

[Sanitarium91]

Good news. I honestly wasn't impressed with UA, at all actually, sure it was ok, but nothing close to amazing. I hope they go more to the Rust In Peace direction, you know, faster and thrashier and still keep many solos. I also hope Chris will bring as much atmosphere to the songs as Marty.

[spartan 118]

I look forward to hearing how Broderick's style will mesh with the rest of the band.

Why not? Chris makes some bitching tapping solos! Looking forward to this, I hope this is a really good album.

[isabiggles]

So.... I was talking to my beloved master [Dave Mustaine]

Someone desperately wants to join Megadeth..

Checked.

[Fireballz 1077]

Cool that they're recording again.

[HeavyMetalHokie]

cant wait to see chris work with dave to come up with some awesome riffs and solos. think its gonna be sweet

[CliffIsAngry]

I ****ing love Megadeth! and what's more awesome is that we will get to see Master Dave and the others play together in the studio, something I've always really wanna see from a personal Level. Megadeth doesn't make that many bad albumsb so it won't be a Metallica copy :P

[aznmetalhead93]

Can't wait for this. I hope Chris Broderick stays long enough to at least get this album recorded. I'd love to see what he can contribute to Megadeth.

[Ichimaru]

More excited about this than the new Metallica album, surprisingly, despite the fact that I prefer Metallica. Not trying to start a vs. I love both bands :P
Should be good though, can't wait to see what Chris has to offer.

[HolySmoke]

i hope it's not RIP-esque, except in manliness. Megadeth doesn't really play thrash anymore, the guitar is more almost modern European metal. If that makes any since at all. I don't know how to describe it.

imo Thrash Metal is completely individual, WHo plays it and who doesn't? For exmaple comparing Slayer to any of the other thrash bands they dont sound ANYTHING alike. Metallicas music is also very different from each album. Same with Megadeths. It's almost impossible imo to say: "these guys play thrash metal"
I'd rather call it Megadeth Metal :p

[zakkwyldefan79]

I'm hoping for a mix of Rust in Peace and Countdown to Extinction. I want some fast thrash songs and some songs that are a little slower and heavy as hell. I can't wait to hear new songs with Chris.

[xjcfx]

yea! i f*cking love megadeth
\m/
one of the best bands ever >=D

I loved TSHF and most of UA, so i have no reason to believe that this album won't rock.

[FRDesign]

With Chris Broderick in Megadeth, This album is going to kick ass. I'm gonna say its the best Album in years by them

[perilouspete]

FRDesign wrote:

Couldn't agree more. Chris is just unbelievable, once people start to find out who he is i think Megadeth will gain some popuarity back. And hopefully sell more than 160,000 copies next time...(U.A. was a great altum by the way). I don't get why Megadeth isn't more popular than they are, I know they kinda died off in the late 90's and obviously Dave is the only original member, but they still kick the shit out of most metal bands today, hands down.

[BlisteringDDj]

Oh man, I can't wait!!! This is going to kick major ass! It's definitely going in a more progressive way, now that Broderick is in.

yep, new album may end up becoming another rust in peace in the sense of how Marty Friedman gave the band a whole new sound leading into a whole new era of awesome music

[FlyingV666]

Woo! This means a brand new world tour \m/

Yeah, and everyone of their albums sounded the damn same, cause he only knew like, what, 3 chords? Big deal.

Anyways, Chris' style will create their most crushing album. It's a proven fact. Hehehe.

[i_am_metalhead]

So in other words, "I talked to Dave and we decided to basically copy Metallica!".

Don't get me wrong, I love Megadeth, but Dave is still living in 1983...

[eazy-c]

Metallica weren't the first people to film the recording process...

[shattamakar]

er dude ....angus is the lead guitarist not rythm.....malcolm young is the power chorder..... .....oh yeah and i bet theres gonnabe helluva lotta face melting solos...like sleepwalker and burnt ice from ua

[Megadeth2011]

*drooling* Well, this made my day! Even if Metallica's new album is half as good as this is, it'll win a grammy cause it's metallica.

[wolfy808]

I'm guessing they'll be done April 09. This sounds awesome though.

Damn straight dude!

ya man i couldnt agree more either, i mean just listen to every damn song they have almost, the lyrics are always ****ing great, the music is always great and complex. seriously song for song and album for album they should prolly be in the top 5 best bands ever. they never cease to amaze me or surprise me. and as for the no taking a million years to record, well heres the reason why dave can write lyrics and songs alot better than metallica. hell he said he has ****ing notebooks full of songs that will never be used.

[_A.D.I.D.A.S._]

I don't see anything wrong with making a sort of "fly on the wall" dvd. Sure Metallica did it. But it doesn't really seem like something to complain about. It's more about the fans then the ego. I mean if they decided to make a black album and write a song called Enter Tooth Fairy. THEN we got a problem.

[SERIALTRENDKILL]

why are people still comparing Deth to Metallica? Just becuase Dave doesnt need half a decade to put out an album, and it just so happens that he's recording around the same time as Death Magnetic comes out. Big deal. Anyways, atleast Dave is keeping real music alive by steadily coming out with some of the best albums ever made since 1981. (yes. quote me. 1981). Hes the Jimmy Page of Metal. theres just now way around it.

[Daburcor]

I'm always up for some new Megadeth.

You guys are both ****ing idiots. People have been making things like this long before Metallica even conceived it. I'm pretty sure the Beatles did something like this. Red Hot chili Peppers did it in the early 90's, and Megadeth did it in '94. The only difference is Metallica made a huge deal out of it, as if people care that now we can see them bitch in the studio, instead of reading it 6 months down the track.

[MeGaDeth2314]

I agree with the person who said he hopes Chris doesn't go overboard with the shred on the new album. I mean, his tapping is awesome and amazing, but I can easily see it getting repetitive if used excessively. I'm more for melodic, yet blazing solos like Friedman used to play. I hope Chris puts his music knowledge to good use on this album.

In years?

Megadeth always brings out great albums so don't act like they haven't ****ing brought out great albums in years.

[dupaman]

i cant wait to see what this albums gonna be like, united abominations is one of my favourite albums by them (along with rust in peace, peace sells, countdown, youthanasia and cryptic writings).

chris broderick is a great guitar player

Meh, there was 'fly-on-the-wall' footage back during Youthanasia.

Sorry to burst all of you Metallica fans' bubbles.

Can't wait for the new album.

God, I hope to god Dave is still pissed off. That's when he writes all his good stuff.

I'm not sure about this Chris dude... I really don't want to hear 4 octave arpeggios and sweeping all day long... (I'm not sure if he was sweeping, but it sounded like it on the audio) Hopefully there will be a little soul and melody behind it all.

metallica and megadeth both kick ass, lookin forward 2 hearin both ther albums

Here's to hoping Broderick doesn't get too much influence in the band and cause a second Risk!

[SERIALTRENDKILL]

risk will never happen again. they were kind of pressured into it. but risk was still pretty damn good. just not signature deth.

[Spartan101400]

I can't wait, as for a second Risk, if that were to happen again than the entire world will probably combust.

what album or song should i listen to if i want to chceck out Chris Broderick?

That's why Megadeth has released 11 studio albums in 23 years and Metallica has released 9 studio albums in 25 years. Megadeth works harder than Metallica and their music is more technical. (I am not talking bad about Metallica, I just want to make sure everybody knows that)

Not Really, a lot of bands have made videos of making an album, Metallica is very popular from Some Kind Of Monster, and now "the-fly-on-the-wall." if Megadeth does something like that which they did with U.A (they never said about releasing it) hopefully they will release a dvd of making the album. i will love watching that dvd. Megadeth has never let me down. Love em to Deth.

[markojuo]

my view on the matter with Chris is quite simple. Personally, I think he will add a tasty new lemon wedge to Megadeths musical capabilities, however were he to make it worse than before, I wouldnt really care that much, because the only album which was dare I say mediocre by Megadeth thus far was Risk, UA was awesome, and for old metal bands its rare that the new stuff sounds good, mega success or mega fail, I'll always have those 11 other albums to listen to, which are filled to the brim with nothing but pure musical genious. And yes, I would be very happy if Chris implemented some acoustic pieces into the new songs.
