Free Music Notes for Still Alive... and Well?
Free Music Review: I Don't Know?
Hit: 2 Stars
I was very excited about this release - 6 "never before released" live tracks. Maybe it's just me, but "In My Darkest Hour", "Symphony of Destruction", maybe "Sweating Bullets, and I'm pretty sure "Holy Wars," are all the exact same versions on the original "Rude Awakening" live disc. Maybe I'm just crazy, I don't know. However, I love the two new Live tracks - "Time/Use the Man", and "The Conjuring."Free Music Review: If you must...

Don't get me wrong. Megadeth are my personal favorite metal band of all time. I enjoy every album, even Risk. BUT... buy this one ONLY if you MUST have a live version of "The Conjuring." I had to have it, since they played that one on that tour but did not include it on the live album. They also were playing "Motopsycho" and I would have liked to have seen that one on this album, too. Alas, 'twas not to be.
Free Music Review: I'll answer the question: NOT WELL. Not here, anyway.

I'm a huge fan of Megadeth, and have been for a few years; I'd even go as far as saying I'm a completist (I own both the original AND the reissue of KILLING IS MY BUSINESS...). However, this is one Megadeth "album" that I will never waste my money on.Even more absurd than most so-called "best-of" collections, STILL, ALIVE...AND WELL? is simply pointless. We have several tracks from one of the best albums from one of the best thrash acts ever, THE WORLD NEEDS A HERO, and two--count 'em, TWO--unreleased live tracks. Okay...why?
Indeed, I'll agree with other fans, this COULD have been another HIDDEN TREASURES, but instead it is a waste of money and time.
Trust me, just get THE WORLD NEEDS A HERO and as for the live tracks, you're not missing much. If they're THAT important to you, just look for them as downloads somewhere.
LUCKILY, Megadeth has re-formed, with a new bassist and drummer, and a suprising return of the almighty Chris Poland on guitars. Dave's arm is all better, and he's refreshed...and determined. NEW ALBUM COMING SOON!
Peace.

When I first heard that Megadeth was releasing this "album", I thought,"Cool, a couple live tracks, and maybe some unreleased songs, b-sides, etc." Damn, was I ever wrong!!!Megadeth basically [disappointed] us over with this one...six leftovers from the RUDE AWAKEING live album, and half of THE WORLD NEEDS A HERO, which was their last album! Let's face it, the only people still buying Megadeth albums are long-time die-hards, so chances are, anyone thinking of buying this album already owns TWNAH or RUDE AWAKEING. So why bother? There is no point.
I realize Dave Mustaine wants to make a buck, but c'mon!!!
I've bought all their albums over the last 15 years or so, I'm a longtime fan from when I was like 12 listening to PEACE SELLS...and I've never felt ripped off like this.
Save your money for something else...anything else!!!!
Cheap money grab / contract fulfillment I guess.....
Free Music Review: Pathetic and Horrible
Hit: 1 Stars
Well I'm glad I didn't spend any money on this and instead listened to it at the record store. Needless to say Dave's recent trip into rehab for the 17th time (he didn't hurt his wrist, he got hooked on pain pills during the last tour and his wife made his quit the band as everybody well knows at this point) no doubt hurt his finances and he had to sell off all his gear, plus put out this rehash of the new.How long is it going to take for Dave to learn he's already lost all his fans and that he's been a has-been since Risk? Stop putting out albums that no one buys dude. Maybe that's why you started the pain killers and drinking again?
In the meantime, don't waste any money on this "album".
