Wait WTF are you talking about...Why would Dave Mustaine being on a game make Megadeth Bad or go down hill? i fail to see your point if there is one?

Doesn't seem like he has the pure & bitter hatred of the internet as Metallica, game might be good & will rent it though I'm still sticking with GH Metallica (for the tracklist of pure metal) over the other GH games.

Agreed. In the 80's and 90's they were pretty equal, but Megadeth definitely makes better music than Metallica nowadays. "
wow, you guys fell for the video's sub-liner and started that age old and tired megadethmetallica discussion ? damn ..

Megadeth is awesome, but Dave is a dick. I've worked for him a couple of times and... Great guitarist, don't get me wrong, and he's written some of my favorite songs ever. However... HUUUGE dick

Guitar Hero's been played out since the ownership change after GH2, but I'd still love to play that final song to shove it in Mustaine's face.

Because being asked to make a song for a successful video game series is such a bad thing right? At least Megadeth hasn't lost their roots and can still make metal apposed to whatever the hell you call the crap Metallica is making these days. Metallica hasn't been good since Master of Puppets.

While Metallica used to be an overall superior band, and their classic albums were more, shall I say, solid than Megadeth's, they have aged much, much worse. Megadeth's three latest records are at the very least listenable, while Metallica's are not.

lol duder there have been 3. and each one is the best metal ive heard in a while. The system has failed (2004) United abominations (2007) and Endgame (2009). Alot of it was actually inspired by games...well the war and violence in the settings anyway. he had to totally relearn guitar though his hand had forgottenhow to play.  he says god came to him or something or other and his and miraculously was functioning again after he believed. read it in the paper. good man.

interestingy enough he said he takes back everything he said in the documentary. seems like he did it as sort of a favor to maek the dvd story good. he's got several songs that adress the issue ( see mechanix, holier than thou, kill the king, king nothing, something i'm not, die dead enough, back in the day) also his book will hopefully enlighten us.

Megadeth was incredible. It was a true tragedy when he sustained that car injury that kept
them from playing/touring for several years.  Wonder if they've put out any new albums or
it was over for good after the accident.
 
All in all, I'd rather see a new Megadeth album than another Guitar Hero game.  Try as I
might, I'm just not interested in those silly toy guitars for a game when I can play one of
my 2 real guitars instead & actually learn something while bringing satisfaction in the
performance & listening.

A customer that came into my work told me he thinks I totally look like Dave Mustaine. I don't think it's true, and have never heard it before, but I think it's worth mentioning. I've also heard I look like Kurt Cobain, and Lionel Richie.

If the track list wasn't so God damn bland I would be first in line for this. Unfortunately "Burning for You" and "Holy Wars" just aren't enough for $60. DJ Hero 2 on the other hand....well, that game looks fuckin incredible!

This. Actually, the only reason I clicked the link was to point this out. I don't care about Guitar Hero, but AFAICS it's receiving the classic Activision treatment of being squeezed for every last bit. Ask Tony Hawk how that works.

The art style just makes me want to puke. Terrible, terrible style. Rock Band is much more up my alley.
 
Also, yeah, Dave Mustaine is a bad-ass, though a little strange in some ways. Megadeth is some true metal shit.
 
But it's okay. Rock Band has, last time I checked, 18 songs by Megadeth. And I own all of them (17 DLC, 1 on RB2).  http://www.rbdlc.com/showartist.php?artist=Megadeth

Getting kicked out of Metallica was the best thing that could have happened to him.  He made his own band that was much more about reality and our place in it than the fantasy that Metallica was more about at the time.  Both great bands that ended up going in opposite directions, but still survived the metal crash of the 90s - although Megadeth kept it's cred as a metal band while Metallica is sad shadow of its former self.

Hope I can just download the song so I won't have to play the game for some sweet Mustaine-action.
