ORIGINAL: mapachito13 Just to offer some constructive criticism, the band is Megadeth and the man's name is Dave Mustaine. Dave didn't become a Christian until 2003 (approximately) so you really can't refer to Megadeth as a "Christian" band through most of its existence. But they do rock!!! Oh, if there were only more Christian artists with Mustaine's virtuosity, musicality, attack, sense of melody and the good old fashioned ability to ROCK! I actually saw Megadeth in a small club in Hollywood before they released Killing is my business. We went to see R.E.M., the headliner, and opening was Mr. Mustaine's band. When we first saw the name Megadeth, my friends and I were laughing at the "dumb" name but once they hit the small stage I was laughing no more. I knew that band was bound for greatness. Needless to say they blew R.E.M. off the stage - literally!!! I wish there were more vocalists a la Mustaine, Rob Halford, Bon Scott or Brian Johnson, Dave Hetfield or Mike Muir in the Christian Metal scene. Instead we have endless clones of the cookie monster or as my 7 year old calls it "throw up singing". [:D] Instead of sounding tough IMO it sounds farsical. But I guess its the popular style right now. It just makes it tougher to find bands I like but when I do find them it's like finding the needle in that haystack!
