Marty's solos are ten times more creative than the new guy. Same with Poland. Yes, the new guy is a technical monster and his solos were OK but he is no Marty when it comes to having style and saying something with your licks.

This. Chris Broderick's a great guitarist, but he has no way near as much musical character as Friedman or Poland. Sure, he can replicate them perfectly but he's not much of a stylistc innovator. He was much more suited to Nevermore.

Anyway, it seems unlikely that Marty and Nick would be coming back. Marty is basically a celebrity in Japan and seems to be doing very well for himself. I'm not sure Dave would welcome Nick back after how badly The System Has Failed sessions apparently went. If the tour hits Japan though, I wouldn't be surprised to see Marty go on stage for a few songs.

I just read that Jeff Young just called in sick to his job at the West Alameda Car Wash & Massage Parlor. There could be something to this........

I'm sure Chuck Behler has something to say about this too. If only someone could find him.

Marty seems to be very happy in Japan these days. Nick could possibly return, but who really knows?

he came out of hiding during the jeff young debacle to speak out..or maybe that's what you are referring to: "has something to say about this too"..?

I thought Chuck fell into a black hole or something. What did have to say about the Jeff Young accusations?

And Dave laughs at the free publicity.

Chris Broderick is an amazing guitarist! The ATL crowd was really into Megadeth's set in particular. Not the moshing-est crowd I've ever seen, but Exodus did their best to stir things up!

If someone has already posted this I apologize but this sounds like a cool tour:

Megadeth and Slayer, who last toured the U.S. together 19 years ago on the "Clash of the Titans" extravaganza, have confirmed that they will each perform, start to finish, their 1990 releases - Slayer's world-wide, million-selling "Seasons In The Abyss" and Megadeth's Platinum "Rust In Peace" - on the upcoming Canadian and American Carnage Tours.
The six-date Canadian Carnage tour begins July 23rd in Quebec City, while the 19-city American Carnage dates start August 11th in Glens Falls, NY (see the complete itinerary is below). Slayer and Megadeth wiill be co-headlining the tour and Testament will be the special guest on all of the dates.
Tickets purchased for the Canadian and Carnage Carnage shows when they first went on sale late last year will be honored for the rescheduled dates. Complete information regarding ticket sales can be found at www.slayer.net, www.megadeth.com and www.testamentlegiions.com.
Nineteen hundred and ninety was one stellar year for fans of intense heavy metal, as both "Rust In Peace" and "Seasons in the Abyss" are considered to be among the genre's all-time classics albums.
Slayer - guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, bassist/vocalist Tom Araya, and drummer Dave Lombardo - scored a major breakthrough upon the original release of "Seasons In The Abyss" (Slayer's fifth studio album overall), as it was the group' first album to hit the U.S. Top 40, and saw Slayer playing to the biggest crowds of their career sit 91's "Clash of the Titans" tour.
Megadeth's fourth album, "Rust In Peace," saw the band cement their status as one of the most important metal bands with masterpieces like "Hanger 18" and "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due," as well as a top 25 debut on the Billboard charts. The album has been hailed as one of the greatest heavy metal albums of all time with IGN recently naming it one of the most influential metal albums ever. Megadeth is now rejoined by original bassist Dave Ellefson and are firing on all cylinders.
The American Carnage Tour, originally scheduled to take place in January and February, had to be postponed due to Slayer vocalist/bassist Tom Araya's treatment for severe back pain, an occupational hazard for the rocker who is known for aggressively swinging his long mane of hair while performing. A surgical procedure in January corrected the problem once and for all, and he felt better almost immediately.
"Right after the surgery," said Araya, "I could tell that the issue was fixed. There's no more pain, it just feels really good. I'm really excited and I'm anxious to get together with the rest of the guys and start rehearsing again. We cancelled two tours, and I don't feel great about that, but I couldn't deal with the pain anymore, and that's now completely gone. I know the fans are excited to see the band - the tour is on, we're keeping our word, there will be no more cancellations."
