In MEGADETH'S 20 year career they have never released an official live
album. It is unfortunate to hear that this will be their last relase.
On April 4th Dave Mustaine relased a statment saying that Megadeth has
disbanded due to a recent wrist injury affecting his ablity to play
guitar.
On November 17th Megadeth performed their last show in Phonix Arazonia.
On the plus side they recorded the show and put it into a live album
as well as a home video as if they knew this would be their last
performance.
This doubble CD set consists of a 24 song setlist that was picked by the
fans and selected by the band. Rude Awakening has a few songs from every
era with the exception being their 1999 relase "Risk", (boohoo what a
shame) as well as a few songs that they haven't played live in over 15
years, "Mechanix" from their 1984 debut album "Killing Is My Buisness..."
There is also is an extended version of "Shewolf" with a 5 minute guitar
duling solo betwen Dave Mustaine and Al Piterelli along with a drum solo.
The only flaw on this CD is that Mustaine's
vocals sound a little worn and tired towards the end of the show. This
was an exceptional performance by one of the best speed/thrash bands of
all time.
Rude awakning is Megadeth in their finest hour and their darkest hour
also. This is a CD any metal fan should invest in. It is well worth
checking out. We can only hope that this will not be the last we here
from the gods of thrash. R.I.P MEGADETH 1983-2002
