    I like the observation you made about the character of Dave's vocals. I don't think a lot of people would argue that his vocals are very good from a technical standpoint. In fact I hear a lot of people criticize him for not having a great voice. I don't love Megadeth bc of the stellar vocals. I do like the way he manipulates his voice though. It's part of the band's overall appeal for me.

      According to Dave, he became the singer of Megadeth more out of necessity than wanting to be the singer. Truth is, I can't imagine anyone else singing his songs and doing them justice. Dave's vocals are unique, a quality not so common anymore. You hear Ozzy and you know it's Ozzy. You hear Lenny and you know it's Lenny. You hear Dave... nothing more needs to be said.

    I never thought Dave was even a "good" singer but for what he does it is perfect! Best attitude singer ever. I think the best growls and things are on Peace Sells.

    Hey! This was my first Megadeth album! I like Symphony, but I think their best work is on other albums - Hanger 18 is a blast, Peace Sells... is a true metal anthem, A Tout Le Monde is a more contemplative side of the band.

  • @DornishVintage

    I liked this album when it came out, listened to it literally 100s of times. Back in the day, to me it was possibly the best heavy metal album released that year. It took years for my young self to realise how political it was, and still is. It holds up.

    There probably isn't any vocal measure that would qualify Dave's voice as good in any way, but his voice is Megadeth and is the perfect accompaniment to the band's consistently stellar musicianship.

    Continuing to love the Month of Metal Ken. I wish it was the Year of Metal, as a month of videos will really only just scratch the surface of what metal has on offer. Though from the videos you've put out you are definitely hitting on a pretty good playlist.
    I haven't seen you do Gojira yet (ille double check after the comment) but Gojira is Currently held in very very high regard both for their Musicality, and for their Lyricism. If I had to recommend one song it would absolutely be The Art of Dying! However for something a little more accessible, I'd have to recommend the combo video of "Fortitude" and "The Chant". When this album first came out, I heard these two back to back, and by the end of Fortitude, I was nearly crying, I had no idea why as there arent any lyrics it's just chant, and a beat leading into "the Chant", but the raw sound of it is just so so good.
    It also helps to know that Gojira is very very aware of the human impact on nature, and are very vocal about it. Another great one to react to for vocals would be "Toxic Garbage Island" the ending belt of "PLASTIC BAG IN THE SEA" gets me every time.

    Amazing guitarrist and songwriter, but not a good vocalist (he never wanted to be one in the first place). Still managed to give charisma to his voice to fit perfectly into the Megadeth sound to the point I can't imagine another guy singing for them. Proof that sometimes is not all about perfect technique or talent.

    I think that one scene can be read as condoning that vigilante justice, but I see it much more as just part of the symphony of destruction, and how it goes in that direction as well.

    It's one of his best song but I think they are some other songs who are as same as good as this one. Listen to Tornado of Souls, Peace sells but who's buying, Shewolf (live), and so on. Or the mechanix who is the same song like Metallicas Four Horseman because DAve wrote this song. But if you would do me a favor and dind't listen to Eluveitie it would be a plesure to me.

    Metal is more blended now then it was in the 80s and 90s when metal bands were more one thing. They were thrash or death metal. Now bands are a blend of genres in and out of metal.
