MEGADETH - Dystopia (22 Janvier)

MEGADETH has entered the studio to begin recording its fifteenth album and the band wants to bring its fans along for the ride.

For the first time, MEGADETH is going to bring its fans into the process and give them a window into the world of Dave Mustaine, Kiko Loureiro, David Ellefson and Chris Adler.

Pre-order the album digitally, on CD or on vinyl plus tons of other unique offerings like signed CDs, signed vinyl, gear from the studio and much more.

No matter what you order, you will get access to a variety of behind-the-scenes content such as photos and videos from the writing and recording sessions. You'll get full access to the process in real time.

Please note: The physical album products will not be fulfilled until on or around street date. Estimated fulfillment date of non-album items/experiences: July 2015.

Et je ne vois pas pourquoi Megadeth ne payerait pas la location du studio

Kerry says he only played with Megadeth for Slayer

Slayer guitarist Kerry King says he only played with Megadeth in their early days for the good of his own band.

And he’s surprised that anyone could manage to work with “crazy” Dave Mustaine for long.

King took part in Megadeth’s first five shows in 1983 after Mustaine formed the band following his firing from Metallica.

He tells Loudwire: “I thought, ‘This is a gigantic learning situation’ – and I also thought people would see me and it would at least make them think, ‘Slayer.’ So I had Slayer’s best intentions in mind.”

King continues: “He was cooler back then. I think there’s been a lot of drugs and extracurriculars between now and then.

“His stuff is – I wouldn’t say ‘intricate’ because we’ve got intricate parts too. He writes riffs in a very different perspective. I wouldn’t do it. It’s just not my style.”

He describes seeing Mustaine in Metallica as a great experience. “He was just ripping on guitar, and looking out that way somewhere. I can’t do that to this fucking day. I was just blown away.”

But he adds: “I don’t know how anybody can be in Megadeth for more than a couple of hours, because that guy’s crazy.”

At least one MEGADETH superfan has paid $5,000 for a songwriting session with the band's mainman, Dave Mustaine, as part of the ongoing PledgeMusic pre-order campaign for MEGADETH's forthcoming album. The two-hour session will take place in Nashville, Tennessee on a mutually agreeable date.

Other PledgeMusic perks include a digital download of the new MEGADETH album for $15; a physical CD for $25; an exclusive t-shirt ($30); a signed copy of "My Life With Deth" by David Ellefson ($35) or "Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir" by Dave Mustaine ($45); the new MEGADETH LP on vinyl ($40); a signed CD ($50); a signed vinyl record ($75); a disposible camera full of studio photos; various signed drum accessories; a guitar strap; a handwritten lyric sheet; and a $500 guitar lesson with MEGADETH's new lead guitarist Kiko Loureiro. Some of the other pricier rewards include spending a day in the studio with MEGADETH ($2,500); a guitar lesson from Mustaine ($3,000), drummer Chris Adler's snare ($3,000); and Ellefson and Loureiro's respective instruments ($3,500 each).

The ultimate reward is the MEGADETH jam session where you can play a few songs with the band for $10,000 (not including travel expenses).

Mustaine's message to MEGADETH fans about the campaign: "We've always wanted you to be 'a part of' and not 'apart from' us in the studio. Now, with PledgeMusic, you can be here with me and the guys and watch history being made with our fifteenth record. Check back often... you don't want to miss anything!"

Je comprend vraiment pas leur démarche.

Pietro a écrit:Ok mais il n'en sont plus là quand même ! C'est pas en grappillant quelques milliers de $ à leur fans qu'ils vont s'enrichir, c'est quand même un groupe qui a vendu des millions d'albums et qui continue à vivre très correctement de sa musique, j'imagine. Non vraiment je comprends pas.
