Here's to hoping that this first album with Kiko is as good as the first when Chris joined. Endgame was a darn good album and the last that I truly enjoyed from MegaDeth.

If anything, the entire album should at least be "Kingmaker Pt.2". It'll at least be thrashy.

If its just rehashed .... a la Return to hangar, I probably wouldn't care for it too much. I did however enjoy united abominations quite a bit though

Pre-orders are up for the new album already, I thought they were trying to crowd fund it at first...

$15 for a digital download, and $25 for the physical?
That's... pretty overpriced. Queensryche's PledgeMusic prices were a lot better; $10 for a digital download, and $15 for physical.

It's probably done that way to nudge folks into buying one of the more expensive packages. I mean, when $25 gets you the plain jane CD, might as well spend $50 for the signed edition.

Yeah, I'm totally going to donate to this when I can't listen to the music beforehand.
Not.
And I agree... $15 dollars for digital and $25 for physical is a joke. Furthermore, what happened to his great relationship with UMe and his own record label?
EDIT: Lol... is that seriously offering used bass strings for $75 bucks?

It says they're already in the studio to record. Does that guarantee that Kiko will have little to no influence on the album? Unless he quickly comes up with his own solos or something? I'm not really familiar with studio recording, but I get the impression Dave just handed him a script and a deadline to learn it.
I've been listening to some of Kiko's solo stuff, and it'd be a shame to not get some of that flavor.

Apparently that's how Rust in Peace was recorded. Dave recorded and wrote all the music, and Marty came in to do solos. Not sure how true it is, though.
Also, I remember someone saying that Dave can't write good music while sober... Apparently RiP was written and recorded when the entire lineup was sober?

Jazzhands, I think you may have misread it.
$15 for the digital download.
$25 is for both the physical C.D. and digital download together.
I agree that $25 is lot of money for a "single physical C.D." but it does come with the digital download.

Which is still pretty pricey. I've seen services that sell both a physical AND the digital download together.
Plus, like I said, another artist on Pledgemusic is doing the same, but for a cheaper price.

Most physical cd orders give you a free download in my experience. Trying to charge an extra 10 dollars for the CD and "justifying" it by saying WELL YOU ALSO GET A DOWNLOAD!!! is really silly since if you have the CD you can make your own download for free. >

Ya gotta remember, though, guys. A Megadeth fan somewhere in the world just spent $75 on bass strings used by Dave Ellefson for the new album. I'm sure the $25, C.D. + digital download to them is nothing.
I'm not saying saving money and making smart purchasing choices is a bad thing but there are fans out there who are adamant about how they spend their money.
Which is kinda why it's so dickish, overcharging the die hard fans, while profitable is as stated: dickish.

$3000 for a guitar lesson with Dave and $10,000 to jam with the band?! Holy F! That's insane.

Dot dot dot.
Especially when a lesson with a more skilled and versatile musician is 1/6 the cost.

While attempting sobriety, perhaps.

Considering how it isn't exactly a challenge to rip a disc I don't see how that really makes it a better deal.

Are we certain Dave hasn't fallen off the horse again?
