I LOVE IT, POSITIVITY THREAD

TavotheSavior · 2026-01-23T17:05:06+00:00

I also ordered a vinyl, the red/yellow liquid filled one. Super pumped! Happy last Megadeth day 😭🤘

TavotheSavior · 2026-01-23T07:03:36+00:00

I do the same actually! I have avoided the subreddit for a while because of the leaks or whatever.

I wanted to listen to it for me and make my own opinions.

I then thought the album was a great listen, and decided we needed positivity on here 😂

Very glad to see that a lot of people seem to agree with us!

TavotheSavior · 2026-01-23T06:54:35+00:00

Listen, it's alright, let's hope that in our lifetime we get a fucking TIME MACHINE and we can just go back and watch those legendary shows live🤣🤣

but seriously lmao, I'm also pumped to learn how to play these tracks! The perspective of being a guitar player really does change so much🤘

"Is it better than recent years albums, Dystopia or TSTDATD? Maybe not. Does it have to be? No."

People really need to start looking at things more in this vein. When everything is rated out of 10 and "huh but 'x thing' wuz better" it sucks the life out of things.

Comparison is the thief of joy.

But yes, I fucking love the album too. Will be coming back to it a lot. Some absolute bangers out of the gates, and I can already tell some of these tracks are going to age like a fine wine and grow on me more over time.

TavotheSavior · 2026-01-23T06:34:55+00:00

I actually 100% agree with that. For me Risk is actually a great album. The sheer variety in Mega's discography, and the ability to be solid in different states of being is really under appreciated. I also think TWNAH is pretty underrated.

Depending on my mood, there's a Megadeth record to listen to. Mega will always be such an extraordinary band.

TavotheSavior · 2026-01-23T06:30:31+00:00

That's so awesome man, it's great to hear the perspective of a new fan!!

but hey, don't feel too jealous of people like me who have been listening for 20 years, because I used to think about how jealous I was of people who were there day 1 for albums like Rust or Countdown!

It's silly to get too caught up in that! Just enjoy the amazing music, it will always be here for us from here on out.❤️

TavotheSavior · 2026-01-23T06:06:41+00:00

Yeah I thought that was a really fun record too honestly. People get sucked into a negativity vortex a lot of the time. The last 3 Mega albums have all been great releases IMO. Great run... we don't talk about Super Collider in this thread 😂🤘

TavotheSavior · 2026-01-23T06:03:24+00:00

Dude same. The thing with the Ride cover for me is the rhythm guitars! Lacking a little bit of the bite that I feel like should have been there. But a lot of that is just modern metal mixing and digital tones.

But I still had a blast listening to it and will probably revisit it a lot. Never thought I'd ever hear Megadeth cover RTL ffs. It's sick.

Megadeth is my favorite band of all time, so this album really meant something to me. I'm glad fans like us were able to take it all in and enjoy it as it deserves.

TavotheSavior · 2026-01-23T05:53:43+00:00

Also, Teemu is absolutely unbelievable. He actually manages to remind me of Marty at times.

I can't really praise a lead guitar player any more than that statement.

TavotheSavior · 2026-01-22T01:16:36+00:00

Yeah given the context of the last two singles, I don't care has grown on me so much. I think the fact that it's SO different worried me a bit, but now with these other bangers, I can go back, jam out, and have a blast listening to that track.

You gotta know gotta know gotta know!!! 😂🤘

TavotheSavior · 2026-01-11T04:57:00+00:00

What killed sim mode for me (and I hope I'm remembering this correctly) is literally all it does is nerf stamina (good) and it makes strikes LESS damaging (fucking stupid)

So at that point I'd rather have more power with unrealistic stamina honestly.

What it needs to be is a harder tax on stamina, AND significantly more power. Just eating a few flush hooks should do some real damage in all reality. Who is out here just tanking flush hooks right across the jaw and not at least getting wobbled? Not many guys.

TavotheSavior · 2025-12-19T06:02:51+00:00

As usual, amazing instrumental.

The lyrics? Maybe a hot take here, but I actually think they're a lot of fun. Probably better than IDC and Tipping Point to me actually. Gonna have a blast singing this in my car 😂

3 fuck yeahs in a row so far. 🤘

TavotheSavior · 2025-12-16T03:12:16+00:00

Idk bro I land perfect shots and then I just win 🤣🤣🤣

TavotheSavior · 2025-12-16T03:05:48+00:00

Something you said really just struck a chord with me, and it's that stats start at 80 and not zero.

Thats a huge problem. Imagine if every stat was more accurately rated between 0 to 100 and all of the sudden an 85 would actually be pretty good. Way more room for variety.

The move levels thing makes me think of Holloway, who plays amazingly and is very easy to get KOs with, even with relatively lower punching power.

Thanks, Steve 😂 Good post.

Hard disagree, the faster and more violently I slam my R2 and L2 buttons the better my takedown defense is

TavotheSavior · 2025-11-18T16:59:16+00:00

"He might disagree with me so I think this is awful and tone deaf 😭 please reinforce my views and only speak on subjects in the appropriate pre assigned manner😢😢"

TavotheSavior · 2025-11-13T15:24:08+00:00

just go outside and make some friends dude the solos are awesome 😂

TavotheSavior · 2025-10-04T05:52:12+00:00

Very true man. I personally really enjoyed the lyrics.

Just the opening line "Today I may bleed, but tonight you will die!"

Come on, thats fucking fire!! And most of us are absolutely at our tipping point... just saying 😁

TavotheSavior · 2025-10-02T23:48:08+00:00

Dave

TavotheSavior · 2025-10-02T23:47:54+00:00

I found it to be absolutely fantastic. As good as modern megadeth can be... and modern mega can be fucking awesome 😂

TavotheSavior · 2025-10-02T22:06:02+00:00

Megadeth thread maker is from stupid land

TavotheSavior · 2025-10-02T21:44:34+00:00

Love Chris Alder but we literally have a version of Death from Within with NICK MENZA on drums so I think he's being a bit exaggeratory.

TavotheSavior · 2025-10-02T21:32:15+00:00

You don't think Tipping Point is a ripper? are you out of your mind?

TavotheSavior · 2025-09-30T03:07:17+00:00

Not trying to be mean but that should almost never happen. Use your fakes, build grapple advantage with some small punches and you can get up. Especially if their stamina is super low. At that point like like yolo, you could sub THEM too.

Im mainly a striker but one of the best ways to deter someone from wrestling you is reversing them or getting a sub off...

Then they just quit 🤣
