6/9/2023 0 Comments Mustaine by Dave MustaineWith some of the songs I fashion myself after Aesop, with a moral at the end. “Thrash is more into reality, dealing with social issues and taboo topics and messages. Mustaine, who writes most of the Megadeth’s music, noted another difference between mainstream and thrash metal. “I get across the feeling of the music,” he explained. Often, he sounds like he’s trying to scream and gargle at the same time. It’s hard to understand Megadeth’s lyrics because Mustaine’s singing is really an extreme form of shrieking. “It’s the feel, riffs, the catchy hook lines that hook you in,” he pointed out. Megadeth’s music is characterized by long, torrid instrumentals. Vocals, he acknowledged, don’t often fit into thrash metal. “We do a lot of shows and sell records by word-of-mouth,” noted Mustaine, who, in deference to his flip-flopping stomach, ordered just a small fruit plate. Since it doesn’t get much airplay, many people don’t even know what it sounds like. It’s metal without the commercial glitz-all rage, raunch and racing riffs. Calling this kind of metal heavy is an understatement. Thrash metal-trash metal might be a better term-is a pure form of metal.
