MD.45 - [1996/2004] The Craving

O MD.45 é um projeto em parceria entre Dave Mustaine do Megadeth nas guitarras e Lee Ving do Fear nos vocais. Gravado no fim da turnê do Countdown To Extinction, esse disco passou meio desapercebido. É um disco muito parecido com o que o Megadeth fazia na época, só que com uma pegada um pouquinho (bem pouco) mais punk e com o Lee Ving em todos os vocais. Acontece que em 2004, quando o Mustaine foi remasterizar o catálogo do Megadeth, ele pegou esse disco para remasterizar também e, segundo o cara de pau do Dave Mustaine, as partes de vocal e gaita do Lee Ving "sumiram". Qual a solução que Mustaine encontrou? Regravar as músicas com ele mesmo no vocal. O resultado é tão bom quanto o original. Obviamente, nas musicas mais punks (Hell's Motel e Fight Hate principalmente) o Lee Ving se sai melhor e nas mais metal ficam melhores com Mustaine no vocal. Eles deviam ter dividido os vocais nas gravações originais para ficar mais legal. Simples assim. Mas sei lá né. Entre um e outro, eu fico com o Mustaine no geral. Abaixo temos as duas versões para download. Julguem vocês mesmos. Top 3: "Hell's Motel" , "Fight Hate" , "Voices". Pra quem gosta de: Megadeth, Fear, Anthrax, Machine Head e Testament.

MD.45 is a partnership between Megadeth's Dave Mustaine and Fear's Lee Ving. Recorder after the end of Countdown to Extintion tour, this album still remains unknown. The sound is very similar to what Megadeth was doing at the time with some punk rock touches, thanks to Lee Ving presence in all vocals. The interesting thins is that in 2004, when Dave Mustaine decided to remaster all Megadeth's catalog, Mr.Mustaine said that all the vocal and harmonica parts of Lee Ving was lost. What an accident, huh? ; ) . So he decided to re-record all the vocals himself. The result is as good as what Ving did before. In the end, I think that they should have shared the vocals at the first they recorded the album. Obviously, the songs with a punk aproach sounds better with Ving (i.e. "Fight Hate" and "Hell's Motel") and songs with a metal aproach sounds better with Mustaine. I prefer Mustaine's version. Here we find both versions. Listen, enjoy and choose. Top 3: "Hell's Motel" , "Fight Hate" , "Voices". For those who likes: Megadeth, Fear, Anthrax, Machine Head e Testament.
