In the case of Megadeth, I liked the stuff off Peace Sells, but the other stuff not as much, but boy did I enjoy Slayer. To attempt to learn anything from Reign in Blood? That's just admirable :rockon: | That was 20 years ago, my playing has improved a hell of a lot since then, but I still can't keep up with the breakneck speeds of Reign In Blood, thankfully, they slowed down for the next couple of albums!
As for Megadeth, anything up to Youthanasia is worth a listen, after that there's the odd gem, but nothing will beat Rust In Peace in my eyes (and ears), a classic album that I still have on cassette from it's original release date in 1990!
Speaking of Megadeth, I bought this the other day from eBay: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...L._SL1024_.jpg |
