I can't tell you how many stores I go into while on tour and I see nothing.
Is that reason to be pissed at a label. Does the album have to be at every single store? |

Dave really is delusional when he said this "This is the first time that everyone likes a record of mine, and you can't get us on the radio or into the stores."
First off, but Peace Sells and Rust In Peace were universally liked by press and fans alike when they were released. And secondly Endgame was all over the place in all sorts of record stores. I don't know which stores he visited when on tour, maybe stores that just sold good music, well, yeah then it is only logical Endgame wasn't stocked since that album was mediocre. |

Metallica didn't really care for it when they won one in the late 80s or early 90s. But you know Dave he still can't let go of his brief Metallica past. He's still trying to emulate them. Even though he says he's over it all. But when you listen to his interviews and read his autobiography you'll see he's still struggling with Metallica each and every day of his life. |

I know about the neverending competition between them; the fact that both bands care about awards like Grammy is hilarious, yet cringe-worthy. |

actually the competition isn't really between the two of them it comes from just one side, from cry-baby Mustaine's I just love how obssessed he still is about them 29 years after being kicked out of the band. And I also LOVE how he makes his contributions to early Metallica bigger then they actually are. It actually surprises me he hasn't called himself a founding member yet  But then again that would be mightily stupid of him since he doesn't even feature on the first recording of the band which featured on the first pressing of Metal Massacre I |

| How funny would it be if they get signed by Blackened |

| @Pitwulf93, Dude, I wouldn't be surprised. To Dave I'm sure it would be just like rejoining the band. I guess it all depends on how the old boys in Metallica voted in November. |

I heard news and rumors sometime ago that Roadrunner were either bankrupt, or are in a financial downfall to what they were. Possibly another reason to change labels  lol wonder if they will choose Nuclear Blast as their label. |

Yea, Roadrunner went bankrupt and were bought by Warner Music Group (i.e Warner Bros.) and Warner closed a shit load of their offices worldwide (including the original Dutch homebase). Which is probably why their distro a little short handed.
As Marcel indicated Mustaine is a pompous ass who still to this day is trying to outdue Metallica. Honestly, in terms of playing more consistent music, Mustaine has won but popularity wise he'll never beat Metallica and he can't handle that. And I hope that Nuclear Blast does not pick him up, they'd probably have to drop a bunch of bands to be able to pay for Mustaine's ego alone. |

| Probably, they would ended it up signing with "Phantom Record" or "Century Media". |

Kinda ashame cause there were some decent bands on the label.. also Mustaine has quit his drugs/drinking apparently. Don't think that's changed the ego though 
Yeah I don't think Nuclear Blast would suit them either. Maybe a label of their own would be more suiting. |

NO, Roadrunner did NOT go bankrupt. Cees Wessels just got a huge offer by Warner he just could not decline. |

Ah ok, the news I read about it coupled with the steadily decreasing roster over the last several years made it seem like they were going down and he only took the offer to save himself from losing everything if Roadrunner went past the point of no return. |

| Santorum Records signs Megadeth! XD |
|
|

| I would have to say that, over the years, Megadeth has been a solid favorite, don't get me wrong, some songs I can't stand (Prince of Darkness, Moto-Psycho), but overall they have produced some amazing metal over the years. If someone were to say to me "I've never heard metal before, where should I start" My answer would be Megadeth, their album Rust in Peace, to this day, still "slays". In regards to Megadeth songs, "In My Darkest Hour" is an epic masterpiece. Megadeth's live performances over the years that I've attended were instrumentally tight (though Dave's vocals have faded to the point that I don't think I'll see them live again....sorry man, you can still play guitar like a demon though) but I've seen them six times, and since Marty left (my favorite guitarist) Megadeth hasn't really been the same for me. Anyway I liked some of the material on United Abominations, but 'Endgame' and and '13' I found extremely boring. As a matter of fact (and unbelievably) I downloaded '13' when it first came out, listened to it, and totally forgot it existed, that's just freakin crazy. But then I listened to it again and realized why I had put it out of my mind. So hopefully their label change will encourage them to return to creating music that 'impacts'. Definitely liked it when the band consisted of Menza, Friedman, Ellefson and Mustaine. |

Dave cant get enough of the drama...
Barely any radio stations in America plays metal anymore and if they do its usually a special one hour only thing so you really cant blame roadrunner for that. |

I've definitely noticed an evolution in the Megadeth fanbase. A few years ago, there were a lot of people that were totally on Dave's side, and sympathised fully with him and his situation with Metallica. However, now things are completely different, and I haven't seen nearly as many people doing it nowdays. This is without a doubt Dave's own fault, and I don't know what he's thinking of when he goes on these recent rants of his. Does he really expect people to support some of the stuff he says?
I do agree with pretty much everything all of you has said up to this point. I believe Dave is a more talented musician than pretty much anybody in Metallica, but with the way he acts now, he's never gonna reach the same level of popularity as them. He needs to distance himself from the band. I do understand that this would be really hard though, considering the fans and press and all that stuff, but he should at least give it a try. |
