JEFF YOUNG Says DAVE MUSTAINE 'Can't Play Or Sing' Some Of Early MEGADETH Material Anymore



zoom
KINGS OF THRASH, the new band featuring former MEGADETH members David Ellefson (bass) and Jeff Young (guitar),  will release a live CD/DVD package called "Best Of The West…Live At The Whisky A Go Go" on March 24 via Cleopatra Records. The 17-song set, featuring performances of MEGADETH's classic albums "Killing Is My Business… And Business Is Good!" and "So Far, So Good… So What!", was recorded and filmed live at the legendary Whisky A Go Go in West Hollywood, California on October 15, 2022 and includes an appearance by another former MEGADETH member, Chris Poland (guitar). The DVD was directed by Michael Sarna for Inmotion Entertainment.

Asked in a new interview with Jeff Gaudiosi of MisplacedStraws.com if he and Ellefson have received any feedback from MEGADETH leader Dave Mustaine about their new band or their recent live shows, tour, Young said: "We haven't, nor would we care or concern ourselves with any of that. It's a win-win for all of us, including [Mustaine], 'cause on this KINGS OF THRASH 'Best Of The West…Live At The Whisky A Go Go', who's getting the publishing on every one of those tunes? Not me or David Ellefson or any of the [other members of] KINGS OF THRASH. So [Mustaine is] making the money."

When Gaudiosi noted that MEGADETH largely ignores material from the first three albums at its live concerts these days, Jeff said: "They don't play those songs because they can't play those songs; [Mustaine] can't play 'em or sing 'em. I'm not being a dick. It's just a fact. He can barely play and sing the stuff that they're doing, the same ten songs every night."

Jeff's latest comments echo those he made last year when he told Thomas S. Orwat, Jr. of the Rock Interview Series, Young that he and Ellefson were "really not concerned" about Mustaine's reaction to KINGS OF THRASH. "I don't pay attention," he said. "I haven't really paid attention or followed MEGADETH since, I think, I heard the 'Rust In Peace' album a couple of times, and then what you might hear on the radio or in the press.

"For us, this isn't about any spite or retaliation; it's a celebration of the music that we were all a part of, that we helped create," he explained. "And it's fun for us to do this.

"People said, 'You should do this.' And we said, 'Hey, yeah, you're right. We should do this.' It's a win-win — it's a win for us, and it's a win for [Mustaine], because any performance royalties, anything… If we did include live tracks, he would make money off that. It's promoting albums that hopefully fans will go back and buy, which is putting money right in his pocket. Especially 'Killing Is My Business', I think a lot of people are gonna go back and wanna rediscover that album after this tour.

"For us, it's all about positivity," Young added. "We're all in this moment — we're living in the moment, and we're not looking beyond. We're not reading any of the comments on Blabbermouth or any of the stuff. Because we know what our intent is, and intent is everything. And our intent's positive. We like playing together. We know we're crafting original music. We're not relying on this; we don't need to ride the coattails of this. This is just something that the fans wanted, and you wanna give fans what they want."

Ellefson told Yes! You CAN Play Guitar! that the intention behind KINGS OF THRASH is not to stick it to his former bandmates. "This is a celebration, not a retaliation," he explained. "This is a good moment. This is a happy moment, to celebrate these songs and these tracks and these records. So we go at it with just fun… It's, like, 'Wow. Wouldn't it be fun if we went out and played these records?' And we're doing it. So it's meant to be this celebration and bringing people together. And honestly, that was kind of always my role in MEGADETH. Dave [Mustaine] always called me 'The Ambassador', and I was always that guy, and I am that guy. So it's, like, let me just continue that role in our community and have one of good will."

Ellefson was fired from MEGADETH nearly two years ago after sexually tinged messages and explicit video footage involving the bassist were posted on Twitter.

David was in MEGADETH from the band's inception in 1983 to 2002, and again from 2010 until his latest exit.

In 2004, Ellefson filed an $18.5-million lawsuit against Mustaine, alleging the MEGADETH leader shortchanged him on profits and backed out of a deal to turn Megadeth Inc. over to him when the band broke up in 2002. The lawsuit was eventually dismissed and Ellefson rejoined MEGADETH in 2010.

Young's entire career with MEGADETH was spent recording and touring in support of the band's 1988 platinum-selling album "So Far, So Good...So What!"

Jeff made headlines in December 2009 for accusing Mustaine of, among other things, "dissing, exaggerating and just plain lying on some level about nearly every talented musician that has passed through his dysfunctional little ensemble." He also disputed Mustaine's claim in an interview that Young's drug problem led to MEGADETH's 1988 Australian tour being called off and the group being "banned" from performing in the country.

Poland was a member of MEGADETH from 1984 to 1987, during which time he performed on the band's classic albums "Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!" and "Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?" He is also a featured soloist on the group's 2004 album, "The System Has Failed".

Back in 2004, Poland and/or his management and attorney filed a lawsuit against Mustaine regarding the use of the three "Rust In Peace" demos on the album's reissue without Chris's permission. Chris eventually settled for $9,500 and thereby ended a professional relationship with Dave and MEGADETH.

For the past couple of decades, Poland's main musical focus has been the fusion band OHM:, which has released several full-length studio albums to date.

KINGS OF THRASH recently announced the first leg of a planned 2023 world tour, commencing February 16 in Joliet, Illinois. The "Thrashin' USA" trek will cross the Midwest, East Coast, and southeastern part of the USA through March 15. As with the band's 2022 warm-up shows, the group, which also includes drummer Fred Aching as well as guitarist/vocalist Chaz Leon, will be performing "Killing Is My Business… And Business Is Good!" and "So Far, So Good… So What!" in their entirety. Support on all shows will come from HATRIOT.

Speaking to Ralph Rasmussen of Radio Bypass about KINGS OF THRASH's recent shows and future plans, Ellefson said: "That was a thing where… Of course everybody knew our names — me, Jeff Young and Chris Poland. We advertised we were gonna play the 'Killing Is My Business' and 'So Far, So Good… So What!' records. And as it turns out, we ended up playing, like, half of 'Peace Sells' too. That's probably the most frickin' muscular setlist I've played since probably [MEGADETH's] 'Rude Awakening' [live album and DVD], when we filmed that in 2001 and I was 20 years younger. So we turned up the gas; there was no screwing around on that one. And it was great. It was super cool. It was super fun. It made me just realize how cool those songs are, how the detail and intricacies… It was a very different era, too. The songs were written under much different pretenses. There was a real innovation in those records, the stuff of the '80s, back then, that we were doing."

He continued: "We picked four cities. We said, 'Let's just go out and fire this off, kind of a proof of concept, show everybody what we've got.' I think the first night, when we played in San Diego, the fans right away got it. They were, like, 'Oh my God. Holy shit. We've been asking for this and wanting this for years. And oh my God. There they really are. Those are really the guys that played on those records. This is it.' And our drummer Fred and our singer Chaz, they got it in their hear as younger guys, so they get it and were excited to be there with us doing it. So, yeah, it really was just a moment in time for that to fire off like that so well. And now as a result, look, we've got live recordings, we've got more stuff coming up here in the New Year for that. So, yeah, that was just the beginning; that was just the first firework we blew off. There's definitely gonna be more after this."

In October, Young told Ghost Cult magazine that KINGS OF THRASH's first original song was being recorded at a North Hollywood studio previously used by legendary producer Eddie Kramer (Jimi Hendrix). As for the musical direction of KINGS OF THRASH's original material, Jeff said: "It's got the vibe of MEGADETH — it's on that playing field, but it's got all of its own stuff and all of our influences and some SOUNDGARDEN/TOOL vibes in maybe the music and melodies."

Jeff was also full of praise for Aching and Leon, saying: "We really feel in a way how Ozzy [Osbourne] must have felt introducing Randy Rhoads to the world with these young two guys we have, both half our age and both so composed and mature musically for their age. And we've just been having a blast. And it's great that they're fans of the music and they've really studied it. Chaz, the singer/guitar player, plays in a MEGADETH tribute and fronts a SOUNDGARDEN tribute. So he has some of that Chris Cornell huskiness… So it's really cool to hear him sing these songs with a bit more huskiness and that young exuberance that he has. I think the kids are gonna love him 'cause he has that Dimebag Darrell kind of likability."

Да он давно уже не поёт хорошо, к сожалению.
Я был лютым малолетним говнарем, когда объявили о концертах большой четверки, и не мог дождаться, когда же запись появится на торрентах. В моём сердечке особое место занимала In My Darkest Hour из-за слезливой легенды о её написании. Скачал, включил. Вышли Megadeth, и вроде под эту песню как раз дождь пошел, я такой "ууу, ща круто сыграют!", Мастейн начинает её... петь. Ну как петь, кряхтеть под неё. Вот так и закончилось детство.

Вашингтон Ирвинг, "он давно уже не поёт хорошо, к сожалению"

Я б сказал, что он никогда не пел хорошо. Вернее - не пел вообще. Звуки, издаваемые рыжим можно классифицировать по-разному: он тявкает, мяукает, скрипит, кряхтит, пищит... Но к пению всё это совершенно не имеет отношения.

Starbreaker, до сих пор хорошо поют, как правило, те, кто пел в своём основном вокальном диапазоне без фанатичного насилования связок.
Кто-то, как Даймонд, высокие ноты берёт фальцетом, а кто-то, как Майне, подурковал по молодости (типа Catch the Train) и после ряда операций на связках вернулся в свой комфортный диапазон. Согласен, что всё индивидуально, но те же Кавердейл и Хэлфорд, к сожалению, похвастаться былым вокалом уже не могут.

olly71, мише Киске 55, но на концертах поёт так, как в 88-ом. Так что не всё так однозначно.

olly71, клаус Майне хорошо поет, да даже Джо Эллиотт на ум взялся и поет лучше, чем в начале 2000х
20 фев 2023
DefLeppard, клаус уже поет очень посредственно, увы. Не так плохо как Брюс, канешна, но у него и голос посильнее всегда был

Blindman, ну не знаю, был на концерте Скорпионс в Киеве в 2016 и 2019 , все хорошо звучало как по-мне. Да и для меня главное то как держит темп песни вокалист, даже если может где-то в ноту не попасть. Бон Джови , например, темп не держит вообще. Мастейн тоже на лайвах плавает даже на среднетемповых песнях , хотя на студийных работах мне его вокал заходит.

DefLeppard, мой друг летел на Bon Jovi несколько тысяч километров, после концерта не разговаривал ни с кем дня 2 - расстроился от того, что фронтмен совсем плохо пел, ну просто вообще.

Вашингтон Ирвинг, он знал, что его ожидает. Не сотвори себе кумира - отличная поговорка. Собственно, это к каждому применимо, не только к фанату угасающей рок-звезды.

Хансен тоже сейчас толком петь не может . Но ему хватает смирения брать вокалистов для турне.

Бароны трэша наглеют с каждым днем, так держать. Янг счастлив и воодушевлен тем, что сверху к нему на дно внезапно прилетел Джуниор. Скучать не дадут, Мастейн свое получит сполна. Рано или поздно ему придется на эти миазмы бывших реагировать.

Буквально летом на фестивалях играли The Conjuring и Rattlehead. Не так давно Hook In Mouth тоже был в сет-листе. Я не думаю, что дело в том, что Рыжий не может... просто не хочет. Обленился. Да и, судя по всему, кроме бэнгеров там не особо концертный стадионный прям материал.

Примечательный факт для вечных кавер-боев:
Через год после вылета из Метлы, не выпустив ещё ни одного релиза, кроме трехпесенного демо, Мастейн давал концерты с материалом из трех (трёх, Карл!) будущих альбомов.

Nepalcev, а что тут удивительного . Мастейн был молод и очень зол и из него просто пёрла музыка и он за год насочинял столько что потом материала хватило на три альбома и даже на три с половиной потому что на 1990м тоже были песни сочинённые в начале карьеры. Зато потом им было некогда сочинять если посмотреть гастрольный график 1987 и особенно 1988 года они там почти постоянно в разьездах по миру были.

Неужели музыкальный материал с первых трёх такой сложный в исполнении?
