ARSENAL OF MEGADETH DVD
I was introduced to MEGADETH in high school by my cousin who bought me a cassette copy of
Peace Sells...But Who's Buying.
At the time, I wasn't sure what the hell I was listening to, but once I
'got it' (yeah, it took me a few listens), I was a fan.
Dave Mustaine really blew his load releasing this DVD.
Arsenal Of Megadeth
contains (almost) every single video MEGADETH ever released, in
addition to a ton of interview footage, and live performances (as
recent as
Gigantour footage from the 2005 tour). This two DVD
set clocks in at three hours, but it was a real kick for me, because I
hadn't seen some of these videos since high school, and some... well,
I'd NEVER seen them.
One thing I really wish would have been on this impressive set is an
interview segment with Dave where he explains the coming and going of
various band members over the years. The Megadeth lineup has been a
revolving door of some fine (and some not-so-fine) musicians, and an
honest explanation would have been cool to see. Not because I'm
interested in stupid mud-slinging, but just to hear WHY, you know?
Another thing that kind of irked me is that Mustaine insists on editing
his language in this DVD. I can only assume it's because of his
newfound religious beliefs. It's cool if Dave wants to be born again,
but come ON. Some of us still aren't totally turned off by the F-bomb.
Outside of those few objections,
Arsenal Of Megadeth is a must-have for any droogie.
