A interesting quote from Dave Mustaine
A band is like a hierarchy. You have the lead singer the leader of the band then you have the Guitarist then next down you have the drummer and at the bottom you have the Bassist. Besides the bass isn't a difficult instrument to play. It's one step up from the kazoo isn't it?

Haha! Dave Mustaine is an asshole who just needs to keep his mouth shut. No way is the bass not a difficult instrument to play. He probably thinks he's some kind of musical god for being able to sloppily go "widdily widdily widdily" in every single one of his solos with little to no melody or emotional interest.

How has "I'm Going Slightly Mad" not been mentioned yet? Deaky's just going nuts, especially during the verses and the outro. Easily more groove and finesse throughout that song than Mustaine's ever been able to do in his life.[/QUOTE]


I always thought Dave was primarily the rhythm guitar player in Megadeth.......while he sorta had an assortment of various lead guitarists throughout the years...............(now Marty Friedman for one, was a badass.......)

Yeah man he played lead on every album and on almost every track in Megadeth's back catalog... Haha maybe trying to make a point to his former band mates at metallica should never have fired him and that Kirk is shit...? Probably the reason why Marty left as Dave was getting all the credit.

The best song to listen to, to get the best comparison between Dave and Friedman is Hanger 18 the song with "like 20 solos in it" at 3.50 after some slick sweep picking by Marty, Dave's solo begins and it alternates between the two after that, and pretty much that song will help you get your ear into the diff between Marty and Daves solo styles for all other songs. It has it in all of the album's booklet who does the solos...

John performed a great Bass on "Flash" and instantly recognisable![/QUOTE]

Ha ha ha you mean the one note he plays over and over again for a large portion of the song.

the song changes towards the end where freddie sings " just a man .............nothing but a man.........
still skill from Deacon!

The bass on Someday one day is brilliant, the build up at 1.08 and the release at 1.47 is bliss on the ears and She Makes me 2.17 on wards..

Guess my knowledge of Megadeth aint what I thought it was........I'll check that one out again.................

I love how John plays the bass solo during Dragon Attack at the Milton Keynes concert, while Brian is having guitar problems.

Milton Keynes would have to be the most fortunate filming ever... For that bass solo anyway. Wonder if they ever considered or entertained the idea to carry on with the bass solo on other performances...? Any reason why queen never made it a permanent thing..? On that note if you guys had only one choice... Either queen recorded that concert and get that bass solo or the ssor and see what a fool ive been recorded as part of the Hammersmith 75... What would you choose...

They didn't include the drum solo, or the bridge with the big vocal harmonies, either. With Dragon Attack, it's less a matter of what they left out, and more what parts they decided to shove in there in the middle of Now I'm Here.

Radio ga ga. Sail away sweet sister.

Of course the entrance to the Under Pressure! It is my ringtone haha. But do you know the story of this bassline?

There has been some confusion about who created the song's bassline. John Deacon said that David Bowie had created it. In more recent interviews, Brian May and Roger Taylor have credited the bass riff to Deacon. Bowie, on his website, said that the bassline was already written before he became involved. Roger Taylor, in an interview for the BBC documentary Queen: the Days of Our Lives, stated that Deacon had indeed created the bassline, stating that all through the sessions in the studio he had been playing the riff over and over; he also claims that when the band returned from dinner Deacon had, amusingly, forgotten the riff, but fortunately Taylor was still able to remember it.

Dragon Attack instantly springs to mind. That should've been a single.

AOBTD has a very nice bass riff. AKOM has some great bass line at the middle.

Radio Ga Ga, definitely. There are obviously a lot more like You're My Best Friend, Under Pressure, Play The Game, maybe even Somebody To Love.

This is better than the original in my opinion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFa-HfAOk5c
