Megadeth Comes To Jimmy Fallon, Leaves Its Sound Guy Somewhere Outside

megadethI was going to write “what better way to start off the Friday of the first post-summer workweek than with some Megadeth,” and while the Dave Mustaine-led metal outfit’s performance of “Head Crusher” from their just-out-this-week album Endgame has some pretty amazing guitar work, the vocals are mixed in a way that leaves something to be desired. Still, the opening riff sounds pretty great, and it certainly put a jolt into my Friday morning! Clip after the jump.





Here is the song’s official video, which brings to mind a more “we live in the apocalypse” take on the clip for “Wake Up Dead”:



Well, the vocals sound better here. And the video has a Metroid-ish twist!

Members of Megadeth are praying for you
After the decades of substance abuse, fights, injuries, pathologies, legal hassles, breakups, floods, plagues of locusts -- it's a miracle the members of Megadeth are still able to stand, much less tour and record. Small wonder they pray together backstage.
'Gigantour' heads to Chicago with Megadeath at the helm
Megadeth have sold in excess of 25 million records and in the 1980s were rivaled only by Metallica in the thrash metal world. "The '80s were ours," said Megadeth bassist and co–founder Dave Ellefson, "but the '90s were NOT very kind to thrash metal."



 
  1. You know, for the “guy fired from Metallica for heavy drug use,” Mustaine has aged way better than James & Lars. Maybe it’s the hair, but dude has looked the same for the last 15 years.

  2. @Weezy F Baby: It’s probably the hair (I was wondering just how much of it was real)

  3. I’ve interviewed Dave Mustaine; he sounds like that all the time. The new album really is terrific, by the way.

  4. Yes to The Running Man inspired videos!
