Yay blow job for a cowboy! :rolleyes:

High on Fire sounds cool but it doesn't make up for the lack of three bands.

That's not good, right?

Children of Bodom, In Flames and Megadeth? That's pretty fucking great.

Christ, 500 copies? I'd expect more than that even for a crappy compilation.

That is horrible. Most shrapnel releases sell 10 times that.

And Maiden before that!!! You Indians have been getting lucky lately. How was Sepultura? Or was it Soulfly?

Deth played in Singapore last year a day before Heaven n Hell. I was unlucky not to watch it. I heard Deth's performance was pretty lame ass. HnH put up an amazing show, though.

That's just gross. I'm glad I've already seen Megadeth.

You got a point, but I would never pass on an In Flames show. They're fantastic live, even though their last few albums kinda suck. I'm a big Megadeth fan too, I'd go see that bill for sure.

I don't know about that. When I went and saw them a couple years ago, they played mostly stuff from Soundtrack to Your Escape, which is a shitty album by all accounts. I kept waiting for them to play some Jester Race, Whoracle, or Colony stuff. No dice, as the only time they went outside of STYE was to play a few songs off Reroute to Remain and one song off Clayman. A big fucking disappointment of a show if you ask me.

I'd go if I could get tickets for really cheap so I could see High on Fire. Otherwise, I'll pass.

Also true. If I could decide their setlist, it would look alot different than it is. But they're still a great live band, I mean I don't care for much of theirs released after Clayman but somehow live those songs get alot better. Maybe it's just around these parts, but their fans are absolutely crazy, it makes for such a great concert experience. And they play a couple of great songs too, I've seen them live three times and you can always expect Pinball Map, Ordinary Story and Colony. I love those songs.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zl4RcnKMf3s Check that out, that just gives me goosebumps. Great live band, great fans.

Anyway, I've never seen Megadeth live but to me that looks like a good line up.

:unsure: Megadeth was awesome when I saw them last May. The Drover brothers were impressive in addition to Mustaine.

Pfff, I'd go. When Megadeth played Take No Prisoners at Download it was amazing. The band played fucking perfectly and the pit I was in had no posers in sight.
