Megadeth

[MrKnickerbocker]

Yeah, this is pretty crazy. I wish him the best and hopefully a speedy recovery.

Doctor: I'm sorry Mr. Mustaine, you have throat cancer. We will need to do radiation/chemo immediately
Dave: Doctor, I am in a heavy metal band, tell me, will I be able to sing after?
Doctor: Well, with luck, yes.
Dave: Sweet because I can't sing now.

In all seriousness, I hope Dave is better as soon as possible!

 

[Brigantium]

I really didn't want to be the one who cracked that joke.

 

[The Dissident]

Not a fan of Megadeth but that is still awful news. I hope he gets well soon.

 

[KidInTheDark666]

I'm sure he'll be fine. A badass like Dave won't die like this.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

“A badass like Dave won’t die AGAIN like this.”

“A badass like Dave won’t die AGAIN like this.”

Good point.

Bruce recorded TBOS with a tumor on his tongue. One of their best albums.
Dave is recording a new album with throat cancer. One of their best albums? I hope so!

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Speedy recovery to Mustaine!

 

[Forostar]

Bad news.

I do hope this is not a necessary condition!

 

[KidInTheDark666]

Priest also made one of their best albums while Tipton was suffering from Parkinson's.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Unless Mustaine wants to use the new found success of Dystopia to reach wider audiences (He's done that before) the follow up to Dystopia was/is gonna be great either way, because the current line-up really dug into something great together so hopefully they can just keep that going...

I dunno, Megadeth tends to be pretty inconsistent. They’ll be on to something and then completely lose it on the next album.

Sucks about Megadave though, hope he gets well soon.

Yeah indeed, that's what I meant when I said I hope the success of Dystopia hasn't shaken up the songwriting too much. I could easily imagine Mustaine thinking he needs to walk down a new path because of the success of the last album - something they've done before

 

[Collin]

Definitely not!

 

[KidInTheDark666]

I posted that in the wrong thread so delete this please

That was hilarious.

 

[Jer]

Am I a horrible person for thinking he might use this as an excuse to disband the group again, then reform it in a few years with all the other band members getting even shittier financial terms...?

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Why would he use his throat cancer to disband the group?

But yes, Mustaine can fire anyone at will, basically. Well perhaps except Ellefson

 

[Onhell]

He got over his hand injury, clearly he has drive and preserveeance, he's going to put up a hell of a fight.
