MEGADETH - Dystopia (22 Janvier)

Asked by a fan via Facebook to share thoughts on "the current Megadeth situation," Jeff noted: "I [have] zero interest in 'the Megadeth situation.' The band is done. Put a fork it it. -.-"

Young was a member of the Deth fold between 1987 and 1989, performing on the group's 1988 effort "So Far, So Good... So What." Upon firing Jeff, frontman Dave Mustaine accused him of lying, saying that "everything that came out of that guy's mouth was just the highest grade of pure horses--t."

Back in 2010, Jeff explained his relationship with Dave to UG, saying that if Mustaine "was a Pinocchio, you could watch his nose grow."

"I try to look back on it with positivity. I try to only remember and think about the good stuff, and all the good that came from it… Even though I have a bad feeling about Mustaine as a person," he said.

"I can totally appreciate the good songs that he's written, and so can his fans. The unfortunate thing is that it's hard for me to appreciate and look back on my time fondly, and it's hard for the fans to enjoy the music, when he won't shut his f--king mouth… I think he's done enough that he can be proud of without taking credit for other people's contributions to his band.

"He was in Metallica, and he's in Megadeth. He's written all these songs, has played all his own solos, sang all his own vocal melody lines, produced albums, and toured the world. He's got enough, but he's like the kid in the sandbox that has to have all the toys in his corner, and he doesn't wanna share any credit or anything. Just like the three-way partnership with me, just like with Junior [David Ellefson] with the money; he thinks that it's all his, and he doesn't wanna share any credit. I don't understand that kind of narcissism."

Jean-François Jeune a écrit:"[Addressing Dave directly] Really, Dave, you lying piece of shit!!?? You've always respected the audience? Is that why every single night you had to be carried off stage cause you were too fucked up to stand — let alone play or sing. Were you really too fucked up to realize that Jr. [bassist David Ellefson], [drummer] Chuck [Behler] and I had a deal with the soundman to bury your guitar and vocal in the mix?

"Do you consider it respectful when a fan asks you for a guitar pick that you pick your stinking nose and flick it at them with a, 'There's your pick' response?

"Sid Vicious really had nothing on you — your fans truly ARE the lucky ones!

"So, we canceled the Australian tour because I ran out of heroin!? Let's get the REAL truth out there, buddy. We cancelled the Australia tour for one reason: So you could get back to L.A. quick . . . and into one of how many failed attempts at rehab? Then, while you are in rehab, you try to get me and the other members to smuggle heroin into the rehab in a Coke can!? WTF?

"In your futile attempt to pin your crap on an innocent party — let alone a cancer survivor that is seeking to live a stress-free lifestyle — you've shown yourself to be the most pathetic of human waste imaginable.

"While we're talking 'smack'... let's cover a few other areas:

"How bout the time you tried to get first, Chuck then Jr. and finally me to drive two hours to Medieval Times and bring you heroin? Your mom and sister were there with you that time, right? I'm sure they would have been so proud to see you nodding off at that jousting fest? Was that the first time you fired your entire band in one night because you couldn't get your fix? Yeah, you REALLY 'tough it out' when you can't get off, don't you?

"Or the time you got your guitar tech arrested trying to score you junk for you in East L.A.? As it happens, that was one of the nights I was tracking the solos you supposedly sang to me... wink, wink. Let us not forget when you put all of us — your band, your crew, our equipment in critical danger smuggling heroin into Japan submerged in shampoo bottles? JAPAN!! The place where they lock you up and throw away the key for drug smuggling. Thanks ever so for placing all of us in that position without our knowledge. With a boss like you, who needs enemies?

"Let us not forget my final gig with your outfit [at] the Monsters of Rock - Castle Donington [England]. We were supposed to play several more shows on that tour and AGAIN, we canceled for your next trip to rehab. And what was the lie that time? Oh yeah, that Jr. fractured his wrist and couldn't play! Put it on poor Jr. — the one that stood by you through everything.

"How do you live with yourself, man? Everyone was looking forward to the playing to the biggest crowds of our career and YOU ruined it up for us all! I'm sure our buddies in TESTAMENT who got to take our place REALLY appreciated it, though.

"Look around, man, read the responses online about yourself. Even your own fans can barely stand you anymore. You've lost your grip on reality and no one cares about your narcissistic warped views of the world. We mere mortals in Megaland simply can't wait for your forthcoming biography. 'Countdown to Extreme Bullshit' is a title I would like to submit for your consideration.

"All the fans you have left want is for you to shut the fuck up and use some of that toxic energy you waste spewing bullshit across the globe, turn it into something remotely positive and make an album that's half as good as 'Peace Sells But Who's Buying?!', 'So Far, So Good, So What?!' or 'Rust In Peace'.

"The few little bits I've shared to date are just tip of the iceberg — the measly stuff. If the fool wants to keep going, I now sit at the ready to respond in like to his banal verbal attacks. But the forthcoming details left to be shared won't be so pretty.

"Of course, there is another option. You wanna act like children? We can act like children. You think you're so fucking great? God's gift to guitar virtuosity? How 'bout this: I barely play electric guitar anymore but I hereby challenge you to a duel, sir: Any stage, anywhere in the world, any two MEGADETH tunes from the 'Peace Sells But Who's Buying?!' or 'So Far, So Good, So What?!' era. Let's see what's what brother. I'll play my solos, Chris' [Poland] solos AND your solos note-for-note and you have to do the same. Since you sang all of our solos to us, that should be an easy task for you, right?

"Are you ready to shut up and put your skills where your big fat overrated mouth is?

"One condition: You can't get anyone to help you figure out Chris or my solos — you have to do it by ear, just as I did/will. Finally, there will be no hiding behind other people's talent for you. Maybe Eddie Trunk will even let us do it on [VH1 Classic's] 'That Metal Show' so everyone can see what's real?

"Eddie, call me!

"In closing, I want to respond briefly to the few that are concerned that I might be posting these blogs to drum up sales for my new album. I don't want my intent misconstrued.

"I don't need the money, I'm fully engaged in my new project, the YMT guitar trio and have no immediate plans to tour in support of my album. [Young's new solo album] 'Equilibrium' will sell what it will. If you like what you hear, buy it; if not, don't. And have a nice day.

"I'm doing this for one reason... I'm friends with Chris Poland, Glen Drover, Nick Menza and David Ellefson. And although I've yet to meet Marty [Friedman] and the others, I respect each of their talent immensely.

"Former disrespected MEGADETH members UNITE!"

Droom a écrit:Comment a t-il fait pour tout surmonter ?

Comme vous le savez, le batteur Shawn Drover et le guitariste Chris Broderick ont récemment annoncé leur départ de MEGADETH. Le site Blabbermouth informe avoir été contacté par un internaute, Philip L., qui explique avoir évoqué avec le batteur Dave Lombardo (PHILM, ex-SLAYER) le fait que la place de batteur au sein de MEGADETH était vacante lors d’une masterclass du musicien à Genève (Suisse) le 26 novembre dernier. Dave Lombardo aurait affirmé sur le sujet avec un grand sourire : « Je sais. Je viens de l’apprendre. Dave [Mustaine] a mon numéro donc je suis dans l’attente ».

On y apprend tout, par exemple que Dave Lombardo ne serait pas contre remplacer Drover !!!

In a November 29 exclusive online chat with members of MEGADETH's official fan club, the Megadeth Cyber Army, Ellefson addressed the band's future, saying: "As you can probably tell by me being here today, we are not disbanding. As of right now, we are looking at all the options, of which there are many. We'll certainly continue working on the new songs for the next record, Hopefully that brings everyone up to speed on things as of today. Thank you for all of your kind words, concerns and support to us."

Ellefson, who was part of MEGADETH's classic lineup from 1983 to 2002 before rejoing the group in early 2010, did not comment on Drover and Broderick's decision to leave MEGADETH, only saying that they quit for their own "personal reasons" and that they did what they felt was "right."

Writing on his Facebook page, Menza said: "Like I have said in the past, I don't rule out rejoining MEGADETH and the opportunity would be totally cool. I'm open to whatever could possibly happen. That's up to Dave. Right now I'm focused on writing and demoing songs with [fellow former MEGADETH members] Chris Poland [guitar] and James Lomenzo [bass]."
