Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction

Say what you like about Dave Mustaine and his attitude, Megadeth have done some awesome tracks over the years (I was one of the first people to own "Killing is my business" waaaaay back when...)

Symphony... is a brilliant song. I just LOVE that main riff! Reminds me of rocking out at the old Marshall street Doors :-)

BTW - Dave Mustaine is going to be doing a radio show soon. He's promising to play the good old stuff like Merciful Fate, so lets wait and see.

Welcome to South Africaaaargh!!

I first saw these guys at a battle of the bands at Club Image in Jhb back in around '88 when they were still just another punk band. Over the next few years they changed their sound to more of a death metal vibe and actually got pretty good!

They released an album called "Bloed Rivier" which did fairly well on the international scene but they broke up before releasing a follow up.

Xentrix - Ghostbusters

Released way back in '89 - this quirky gimmick song is sadly one of the best known songs by the hugely under rated British band, Xentrix.

"For whose Advantage" and "Dilute to Taste" were really good albums, but "Kin" released in "92 was a really brilliant album that should have brought them huge international fame - but for some reason it was largely overlooked by the media. Things fizzled after that and they broke up (apart from a brief reformation with some new members) which is a real shame. They had the potential to be the British answer to Metallica.

One of the best band ever - period!

This is one of my favourite tracks off of "Poets And Madmen" and I really wish they would do another album! I saw them do this track at Wacken 2002 (with Jeff Waters of guitars :-) and I think that Damond Jiniya is a brilliant vocalist - he handled Zak and Jon's roles perfectly and it's almost criminal that he never got to do an album with the 'tage.

If they ever get around to doing a reunion, I'd love to hear Damond doing some originals of his own - I'm sure he would kick ass on a studio recording.
