Ep. 173 - Megadeth's Greatest Hits - Redeaux & Remastered

Way back on Episode #39 during our first year in 2020, we premiered an episode format that went over great with the listeners.  It was the Greatest Hits show. But those first few shows didn’t use the same format for choosing what we think are a band’s greatest hits as we do now. So at the suggestion of one of our listeners, we are re-doing the episode to do it the way we have perfected it. The first band we did was Megadeth, so they are the first one we will redeaux! So sit back, relax, turn it up to 11 and let the debate begin!

Ep. 171 - Metallica - Metallica vs. Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction

Metallica’s self titled album Metallica, commonly known as “The Black Album” was released in August of 1991.  Megadeth’s Countdown was released 11 months later in July of 1992. Both albums marked a more commercial direction for the bands but also cemented each band’s place in the world of heavy metal.  Today, the guys are going to go track by track and discuss the pros and cons of each as well as dive a little deeper than we normally do because these are two bands they really like. And when they’re done with that, they’ll give you their BIG 4 Megadeth Drummers.  So sit back, relax and let the debate begin.
