Lol you aren't even articulate what you don't like.. The closest you got was 'structure' yet also claim to like the first 4 albums.. This song is structured just like a song from RIP. I question your actual fandom of this band if you within 20 seconds are complaining of cadence and structure.

I can agree that Portnoy or Carey and specially Garstka are overall in a league of their own, but pretty much every musician from a Pop artist's backing band is a virtuoso as well and usually among the best on the scene. You don't land a job as Taylor Swift's drummer if you're not a beast of your own right, even though Matt Bilingslea could play chops all over the place (he is formally jazz trained and grew up with Neil Peart as his idol) he plays tight pocket when touring with Taylor Swift because that's what demanded by the music as you said. We must not believe that the artist the musician plays for defines his ability and skill, because it doesn't.

that would be so cool to talk to him. He's such a drumming inspiration.

facts

It was like one endless repetition of a line to nowhere, muzak or elevator music as we used to call it.

thanks a million, it was a fun one to make.

I had 4 hidden OBS tracks and 2 were on that I wasn't aware of at afferent levels. I tried to set the volume so they weren't heard, but I guess it didn't do a lot to help it. Audio issue has been fixed, can't really hear it on monitors, seems headphones pick it up better, unfortunately.

I think people are watching the original Drumeo video that you took this from

@ I watched that video in the process of recording and editing jump from 80k views to over 200k in 3 hours. Was hoping to catch a tiny part of that wave and it was missed completely.

yeah, for sure it's always fun to get new toys in the studio.. I'm a gear junky, but seems my $100 BC Rich Bronze series sounds like my Ibanez RG550 when it comes through the mixer. yeah double and single coils will sound different but I mainly run off the doubles. String thickness will change tone a touch, but again.. once it's mixed it all sounds similar.

yes sir!! on point with that one.. I wouldn't be embarrassed though, you're probably making them jealous cause you sound just as good and didn't destroy the bank doing it. Marketplace is my goto for used gear.

discord.gg/drt24gHT. Maybe that will work, Sawyercustom is the name of the server

appreciate that, I'll check out the discord thing, it's been weird with getting a link. not knowing what I'm doing there doesn't help much rofl.

I changed the discord link, I guess only the name is the ew way of getting to someone's account, no more link. Hoping this one works.

?? huh

@@sawyercustom that video is Ai not real

@@heatz711 I'm confused.. most movies are made with AI these days, are you saying the music is AI also? I'd kinda expect most music videos to be AI, look at falling in reverse and other bands with intricate videos. I did an obituary one that was a cartoon. Obituary is an amazing band, a childhood favorite, and the cartoon was funny as hell.

@@sawyercustom Obituary is excellent I seen them live at a gig in the 90s I'd have no issue with a cartoon But that vid just reeks of Ai including the music

If I wanna get hurt I’ll go hop on my atc250r for a few laps on the Mx track in back. Music is for relaxing and calming down.

yes!! most definitely.. I can actually pull a bagk in the day deal with them.. I was in the death metal scene with them, and partied with them occasionally. Great great bunch of very down to earth guys. Their music does not portray who they truly are. Sadly people have a hard time swallowing that what we show in videos and on stage is not always who we are in reality. I try to be transparent and authentic. I am no great actor.

@@HurlerontheDitch you guys have changed my mind on this whole thing. I’m definitely going to be writing down all the recommended music and relistening to things. I’m glad you got the whole first time reaction thing. You are absolutely correct some songs take time to really get. Surly wouldn’t be the first time Megadeth has done that to me. Been listening to them almost 40 years.. …. God I’m getting old.. rofl. Early 80s. Smh.. it’s been a bit.

Guys, I love what you do and your music. Thank you for letting us hear your talents.

@@RonPaul-v8j appreciate you! I’ll be checking that out.. my list is growing quickly lol.

@@srt8rocketship241 will check that out. Thank you.

@themadscientistmusician2262 Dave went all in on the title track. It was intended to wake folks up.

@ new generations to reach, sometimes ya godda change things up to catch the attention of the younger ones. It’s not an easy road being a musician these days.

HA

@@timothyhetherington I respect the unmistakable voice.. a lot of metal bands have sub par singers but that’s what makes them unique also. They make the vocals work with the rest of the music. Like blending in another instrument. Works sometimes, others not so much.

@@HansStoroy wow!! So a list I am for sure making. Thank you for that! I’ve been wondering what to listen to, all these recommendations are awesome.

@@oskub5348 I’ll put that on the list. I wasn’t expecting so many recommendations. lol. I appreciate them for sure.!!

This was just the first listen to the first song on the list. I haven't listened to any more, but after your comment. I will by all means give the while thing a listen to. When I looked for new Megadeth this was top of the list.. There's more? oh boy.. I godda listen to that, I'm so curious now.. I've been wondering about all the bands I once loved and how they currently sound.. We're all getting old.

@@themadscientistmusician2262 Back in the day, I was all about Megadeth, Maiden, Testament, Metal Church(w/ Mike Howe) and Helloween. I just got burned out on them. "System Has Failed" was like Megadeth is BACK!!! (after Risk and World Needs a Hero....[fart sound]). I think there's another 3-4 albums after this one. There's certainly good stuff, but just lacks that "something", for me. Much like Maiden, after 7th Son...they kind of plateaued and stagnated. These days, I'm still loving Helloween (all 40 years worth of albums!), Gamma Ray(Kai Hansen from Helloween), Orden Ogan, Tyr, Sabaton(although they seem to have plateaued as well)...mainly "power metal".

@ it’s super rare for a band to peak twice but not unheard of. Others seem to have that cult like following that never lets them die out. The greatful dead for instance, played over the speakers in my high school in the early 90s lol. Dave has the power to pull tallent from almost anywhere and can definitly pull off multiple peaks.. seeing him so humble lately bs his cocky attitude through the 90s shows he’s grown up a lot.

While I respect what AC/DC has done for the industry, I am not a fan, and rarely ever listen to any of their stuff. They were way overplayed Igrowing up and I got wore out on them. AC/DC is Hard Rock at best and not Metal. Megdeth fell off after firing Marty. RIP is and will always be their best record. I've met Dave, talked to him, and it only made me not want to listen to them ay more. Knowing that a band is not a single person, I will listen to what I like but I will not back that man. only lately has he eaten his humble pie. 20 year too late for me.

@@themadscientistmusician2262 You just admitted that you're biased and therefore have no business criticizing their music. If you don't like Dave on a personal level then move on.

It's a great song

@@winstonsmith6457 Too erratic for me at the end. starts off strong.

@@marcforget33 I can love a song, or a band and not like a member of it, it doesn't make me biased about the song. I love all of Megadeth's stuff unto countdown. I have listened to them since the early 80's, I met Dave in the mid 90's.. my feelings for him have nothing to do with how well structured a song is. and this particular one gets very erratic near the end and broke the format. Started good, ended meh....

Bro WHAATTT?? rofl.. I'm beyond Honored that you even cared a little bit.. let alone going that step.. My mind is blown, I bow humbly ... thank you so much. I'd love to do a band overview, there isn't that much about them online aside form mainly social media posts. Metal Storm has a bit of general info.

more so... rofl... none of s had any idea how far it would go.
