Megadeth - Washington Is Next! (Live Download Fest 2007) 

It all became true, literally everything he sang in this song

It was just as relevant back then, and even before that. This has been going on for decades now. They don't want the people to have real say in our own government, from federal to local. Hell, go back to the Peace Sells era and re-examine the lyrics: "What do you mean I couldn't be the President of the United States of America? It's still We the People, right?" Take that and remember how everyone reacted to Donald Trump running for office back in 2015-16. It's the reason they hate his fucking guts. He wasn't one of them, and he wasn't supposed to win. They've been in panic mode ever since.

​@@j0hn00arthur As it should, we need to end.

Good.

Still current...

The reason it sounds so good is because it is soooo good. Love this song and this direction as much as mosy everything Megadeth does...awesome!

Half agree, Kick the chair, Back in the day and Blackmail are up there too. Although overall, I think UA, Endgame and Dystopia are their best 3 records post 2000s.

Imho one of their absolute best

@@framedoc1 more than that they came back because 9/11 effected them a lot for there albums mentally for there fans they had no choice to take a break because America is only focused for America 9/11 for years and so on I think a world need a hero is where they started being good again And the system failed is awesome And United abominations well the first half of it is some of megadeth best moments in music my favourite song in the album is the title track untitled abominations

@@vicrattlehead6386 the world needs a hero is much better than endgame, every song on that album is a banger

hahahahaahahahahahha. Pensé lo mismo.

I wish the same.

Now that lomenzo is back they might play it. It would be amazing !

LoMenzo played it at a music shop a couple months ago so there is still hope!@@andreasfeon9436

I know, you can see on "Blood in the Water" video, he was already struggling, I think some of his high notes were altered. I remember the time while Metallica was struggling to be as energetic and "young" as they were when Jason was in the band, Dave seemed to be stuck at time, he didn't age after 2009, I guess he was in his middle 40's here, but looked like he was about to reach his 30's.

His best vocals was on 2007 as everyone can see.

It's called 'getting older''. Happens to everyone (and it will happen to you).

He also developed throat cancer which sucks, but he's cured now thankfully!!!

@@michaelmartins177 His vocal was the best throughout the 90's and still great in 2004-2008. Gigantour 2005 DVD has no overdubs and he sounded great. He started to struggle during RIP annivesary tour, and was really struggling during the Big 4 tour in that same year. I think neck surgery and throat cancer impacted his voice big time.

Yea

He's always high

TheyCallMeFilep probably got fed up with daves bs

Amen.

Yeah, Glen was great on UA. Sick lead tone.

Amén

@@fearofthedark88 he said in an interview that he prefers improvisation to playing the same solo live all the time, especially when it’s a song from Megadeth’s back catalogue and isn’t even his.

Dave is the god of rock, hard rock, heavy metal and thrash metal muahahahah

YOU'RE FIRED

Lotta feel and style too. Hear a little Andy laroque influence in there.

Word Dave mcclain

And Machine Head sounds great here...

XDDDDD

I was gonna say that too

I dont know why, but i was laughing my head of when i saw that

Dave said he was bummed when Glen left. He liked his playing a lot.

Shawn was probably the worst drummer in the band's history. Otherwise this lineup was great.

@@silencedoesgood hah but he was in the band longer than any other guys even Nick.

I still think the 2nd best belong to the 2001 lineup. Pitrelli was underrated

189harvesterofsorrow ever heard of death angel... I am not disagreeing megadeth has some of the best but death angel has some fucking great ass lyrics.

samuel garofalo I have not, but I will have to.

I don't know if he's the s¿best guitar thrash metal player, but, damn it, he too guitar to another level.

189harvesterofsorrow it's so true he is best by far

Chuck schuldiner

Are you referring to Dave using his thumb? It's a hard asf technique to do.

Yeah that is hard to do with or without tapping which Dave does not but id imagine tapping would be the solution for people with smaller hands.

@@JoeBamaBangedUrMama He's referring to that dude on a handstand with his legs spread apart 😂😂

Leonardo Peretti lmfao, could be both. Haha

@@psychogenesis6755 That one cracked me up haahahah

I think after having cancer and other problems it's difficult to sing so he choses rasp

Past substance abuse, neck surgery, throat cancer and most importantly, age.

He had to get neck surgery at some point in the early 2010s to where they added a metal plate to fuse 2 vertibrae together following a piece of bone braking off from all the headbanging. His voice was also starting to get a bit raspy after endgame (atleast you start to notice hints of it), probably a result of age, but the metal plate accentuated it alot. From what I`ve gathered from interviews, the metal plate presses up against his voicebox, which increases the raspyness, but also stops him from hitting the higher notes, which can be seen in live performances of their old music ( he often looks in pain and really staining when doing songs like hanger 18 and holy wars, and I`d imagine that`s also part of the reason why he hesn`t really done Washington is next live since, even though it`s probably one of their bes songs since the early 90s). The fact he is currently in his (early) 60s and went toe to toe with throat cancer just a couple of years ago hasn`t helped things either, though I`d argue that since he beat cancer and has had time to recover a bit, his voice currently sounds the best it has sounded in a decade, even if in many of the live shows I`ve watched recently his voice still sounds a bit tired and lacking in volume and energy (again, he beat cancer not too long ago and likely srill hasn`t fully recovered from the strain om his body, although it sounds to me like it is slowly but steadily recovering)

The James Hetfield of today sounds different than the James Hetfield of St. Anger, right? That sentence could be said for almost anyone, people age.

His voice was perfect around this time. He wasn’t straining he was just singing I wish he could go back to it

I agree. I think Glen plays Marty's solos away better than Broderick.

Ellefson is awesome but the Drover-Lomenzo chemistry was better for a more progressive thinking Megadeth.

Glen was a complete badass on the stage, and I'm a BIG fan of his style. I really love LoMenzo's energy and he is incredibly talented. I love Broderick too, though.

***** Glens version of Tornado of Souls is awful!

Ryan Holmes I prefer Glen just because I hate how Broderick plays Tornado of Souls, especially the solo. But I understand your opinion.

okay, i'm not the only one who saw that.

+James G *insert Marty Friedman guitar solo*
