Megadeth: Remaster or Original

That horn thing is on the original. It's just buried in the mix. Listen closely you can hear it. It sounds more like a keyboard on the original though.

Ok I just listened to the original cd and the vinyl. I heard part of a horn for a few seconds. VERY faint, I had to turn it up pretty smurfing loud to hear it. Then again, it could be part of something else.

And ULT, when I say it's faint, I do mean faint, you really have to listen closely, it lasts for maybe 2 seconds too, could easily be mistaken for a guitar effect. Im glad it got buried though, it shouldve stayed that way. DEATH TO REMIXES!

I only have the remastered and I find them just find, though the only negative feedback I have heard about them is the fact that dave rerecorded all the vocals. this doesn't seem to set well with most.

Finally someone else actually hears the keyboards on the original like i do. I can't believe ult thinks that it's something new. It is very faint and you have to really listen but it's there.

I hate how Dave re-did the intro to (In My Darkest Hour).

I bought all the Megadeths as originals (most when they were new releases, cuz I'm old) so therefore I have no need for the remasters/remixes/re-recordings/whateveryouwannacall'em.

Always stick to the originals...this whole re-recording thing needs to STOP.

Unless they could get a different vocalist to replace Dave...hmmmm....

Original ofcourse.

Wow. Thanks for the feedback.

Duh, what do you think???

Reissues aren't cool. Remasters on the other hand are great.

Original. The "remasters" aren't just "remastered", they are remixed and in some cases re-recorded. I detest what they did to "Into the Lungs of Hell" on the new version.

I just got the original issue of SFSGSW, listened to "Into the Lungs of Hell," and heard the horns on the first time. I really like them where they are in the mix. It's a nice filler, but it won't, to me, seem to fit if it were up front in the mix.

I actually really like the original mixes much more than the remasters.

Original

Just got Peace Sells... the "remaster" and i can definately tell Dave re recorded a lot of the stuff on it. The sound is better but messing with the original writing was lame.

I bought rest in peace beacuse of the bonus tracks, and I haven't found anything anoying on the album. I am interested on getting PEACE CELLS and SO FAR SO GOOD. Should I get the remastered of those 2 albums or find an original?

The bass part on "Take No Prisoners" where Junior plays alone at 1:36 is different, on the remaster it's totally lost it's nuts, I was so ticked when I heard it. Also, the vocal parts on Five Magics is different on the "possessed with hellish torment" parts. As I've said Megadeth is my fave band but I do detest the re-recording aspect of the remasters. Doesn't Dave remember singing "A little man with a big eraser, changing history" ?

I will look for the originals then. They are cheaper I guess
