MEGADETH: 'Greatest Hits: Back To The Start'

[thrashed]

The 17-track CD and deluxe, limited edition CD/DVD set will be released June 28, both including a package essay written by the director of "The Decline of Western Civilization" documentary series, Penelope Spheeris.

MEGADETH's "Greatest Hits: Back to the Start" follows Capitol/EMI's 2004 extensive eight-album remastering campaign for the band's catalog and the release of the band's tenth studio album, "The System Has Failed", which debuted at #18 upon its September 2004 release (Sanctuary Records). The "Greatest Hits" tracklist, selected by fans in a poll at the band's official website, www.megadeth.com, packs 17 top hits and favorites on a 78-minute single disc, including "Peace Sells", "Symphony of Destruction", "In My Darkest Hour", "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" and "Sweating Bullets".

The limited edition CD/DVD package is expanded to add approximately 40 minutes of video content, including a new Mega-Mix music video for "Kill the King", edited from past music videos and behind the scenes footage, seven previously unreleased live performance cuts from the band's 1999 "Risk" tour, and a preview for the forthcoming 2-DVD set, "Arsenal Of Megadeth".

is anyone even going to consider of buying this? it's probably a good thing to get if you've never heard any megadeth before but they missed out a lot of good tracks. Where's My Last Words?

Ha! A greatest hits album with 40 minutes of video content. This would be a good thing if priced like a normal CD...but I highly doubt that.

I'm not buying another thing from Megadeth until Dave Mustaine publically apologizes for giving up drugs.

Thing is, if this was a new megadeth recording I wouldn't buy it unless there was some PRETTY rave reviews about it. the guy can no longer make good music. he's dead. however this is all his hits (for the most part anyway) comibined into one album plus it comes with a live cd so as soon as I get a new job i'm buying it. after I buy GWAR America Must be Destroyed of course ;D
