leftist/drunk/ stoned dave mustaine is everything that a frontman should be angry about something that matters agressive and with a lot of rage... i like some megadeth in recent 18 years, United abominations,dystopia and endgame are modern classics... but, none can match the fury that megadeth has during 1984 until 2004... To me The system has faleid is the last GREAT megadeth album, after that is just cool (except super collider, this album is lame)but never will match this great era.

Remember seeing flying Vs being advertised in like kerrang magazines years ago when i was a teen and thought I must get one of them.
