Meh...I should have watched this before posting it. The "video" is all about a videogame with very little to do with Megadeth until the end. The song does sound like it could potentially be cool, but it doesn't show much really.

Yeah, it's just a 6 minute shill for the game.

Although what I did hear of the song sounded bad-ass.

I think Mustaine's a fan of video games, so seeing him do something like this doesn't surprise me.

It's not surprising at all, they did record Kill the King for Duke Nukem.

Kill the King is all kinds of amazing, why couldn't Dave have done a few more songs like that on the last two albums? De Grasso's drumming on that song is brilliant (if i may be excused for strddling two threads with this post).

Well the short clip sounds pretty good. But I do know that game kicks ass! If Dave Mustaine plays it then everyone should.

The whole clip didn't really excite me cos I seriously thought that Megadeth would be featured throughout the whole clip.

The intro sounds killer. I don't like the part where he's singing "Gears of War" repeatedly. But then again, the clip was too short to judge. But I'm still excited over the intro.

By the way, which came first? The song or the game? Was the song written specially for the game (and then included in the Megadeth album), or was the game named after the song?

As far as I know, the song was written for the game.

The game is great man,I'd check it out.I own the collector's edition and it is pretty badass,and the song is ok,I'm just not much of a Megadeth fan though.Funny video I guess,an interesting watch.CliffyB is cool,and quite funny at times.Granted we're not talking "That Mitchell and Webb Look",but the man has his moments.Epic did a great job,some talented folks.

Been playing it at the local game store... It's cool, done really well, but I hate the fucking XBOX 360 controls. It takes half an hour for the asshole to turn around goddammit and by that time you're dead! I'll just stick to playing condition zero with my buddies...

It sounds good, but the quality isn't all that, and you know Dave, he's not all that amazing live. Haha. I think the studio version will be killer!

I saw some versions of the song on YouTube, they were horrible quality so I just ignored them. But I think it will be great.

Playing dealers choice poker listening to Hank the third. :dio:

Edit: About Dave live, he's nothing special but I have the Rude Awakening DVD and I like it.

Yeah, I faced that too. But finally after working my ass off I managed to find it here:

http://www.mtv2.com/#series/10896/ ...go to "videos".

There's actually shitloads of vids there! And a lot of good ones too! Didn't have time to check them out yet... But there's some weird findings, like how the F did they decide to include a Wrathchild America vid there?!? Like out of all bands, why that one? Like whaaa? :blink:

The quality on my link is teh great! :wink:
The song itself is actually quite, hmm, average I'm afraid. But it's not bad. But I just enjoy anything, even if just semi-good, performed by Megadeth :) I just love how they sound <3
