Key item features

Though Megadeth and their founder Dave Mustaine have spent their entire existence just a few steps behind Mustaine's former group Metallica, it's important to remember that they've also spent a lot of time as one of the most popular metal bands in the world. The summit of their commercial success came in 1992 with fifth album Countdown to Extinction, a creative high point from Mustaine and crew possibly spurred on in ways by the footrace with Metallica and the leaps in production made on their self-titled 1991 breakthrough album. Twenty years later, Countdown still stood as Megadeth's best-selling album, and in many circles, their most loved material. Countdown to Extinction: Live is a concert document of the 20th anniversary tour that found the band playing the album front to back, bookended by a few odds and ends from other albums. While the premise seems pretty rote, the execution of the live album is surprisingly interesting. Most live re-creations of full albums fall flat in comparison to the original artifacts, but it's great to hear the devoted legions sneer along with every word of Mustaine's schizophrenic monologue on "Sweating Bullets" and cheer insanely at the now-dated George Bush samples that pop up throughout the set list. ~ Fred Thomas, Rovi

Awesome LIVE album

This is a great live album (Live albums are never as good as the studio and it is a shame I have to mention this at all) Ok then... This Live album captures Megadeth's pure musical talent. Other Thrash bands might sound fast, heavy etc but they do not match the musical, songwriting prowess of Dave M and Co. He has the right voice for his music, pre and post surgery. The music is rarely similar. (No two songs sound exactly alike but you know for sure it's a Megadeth song) This live performance is deep if you take the time to listen. Love it!
