I don't remember Blitzkrieg being on Kill Em All?

Anyway the new version sounds killer, the bass and drums sound better and Dave's weak Lemmy impersonation on These Boots sucks but is less annoying than all that f*cking bleeping!

Yeah, the original Megaforce pressings of Kill Em All included two cover songs. (Blitzkrieg & Am I Evil?)

It was on the 1988 cd version, along with Am I Evil. Wasn't on the original early press of the album, but added later as bonus songs. No clue when they took them off, cause I don't follow the band any more.

lol yeah what he said! Didn't see this post until after I made mine above.

I never really thought about it before, but does anyone think Mustaine was going for a common theme using phrases with a three dot ellipsis? The first three albums had it, including the song Holy Wars... The Punishment Due.

I had noticed that but I never thought of it as a conscious effort by him, just a weird coincidence. But you never know...

Given the amount of narcotics coursing through his veins at that time I'm pretty sure the "..." was more a state of mind than a conscious decision!

I honestly always thought he should have kept it going- Countdown...to Extinction.

Yes!

The System ..... has Failed.
End ...... game (?)

Would have been pretty hard to do with Youthanasia, Risk, Thirteen, Supercollider, and Dystopia though.

I like both of those albums but I am not a player unless there is some good bonus content. I have so much on my want list that there better be something good to get me to buy this (again) instead of something new. Thanks for the heads up, FF.

Meh, I think I'll pass unless there is some worthwhile bonus material.

^^ the bonus tracks appear to be live stuff
...nothin' essential.

Well, that kills it for me then. Oh well...

The live bonus track 'Coming Home' on The World Needs A Hero reissue was previously released on That One Night: Live in Buenos Aires. Booooo!! For shame, Dave. Give us something worthwhile.

Looks like another compilation.

Nice cover art!

I think I'll pass on this one as well.

If I see it for cheap, I might get it... but it seems like just another money grab. I don’t think they have enough new albums since the last compilation to justify it at this point.

Cool cover, pointless release.

I will pass unless I see it for a dollar, have enough Megadeth comps

Agreed. Especially if it's just studio stuff and not a demos and rarities thing like the original Warchest (which I have). They have released a ton of bonus content the last decade or so with Warchest and the re release of almost their entire catalog, so I don't imagine that there is a whole lot left of any worth.

I’d be curious to see a track listing of about 17 songs from TWNAH-Dystopia but I still wouldn’t buy it. I think the title of the comp is kinda dumb. Sounds better as an EP or B-Sides comp.
