taking sides: megadeth vs stevie wonder

leaving aside the question of whather mustaine et al got the idea for "captive honour" (oh cute they spelled it the british way) from stevie's "living for the city", which incorporation of man-meets-the-law-dramatic-dialogue is more effective? dave talks back to the judge! but stevie sounds more believable. and there's a longer guitar solo in the megadeth one. I assume this has something to do with prison rape.

of course this is sub-dave q but what can I say he's the master

of course stevie moved toward yawningly tedious 'complex' long-form music, and megadeth moved away from it

I'm not sure if I've heard any bongos on this megadeth record either

but there is sorta a ballad

"skin o' my teeth" vs "don't you worry 'bout a thing"

They are Apples and Pears

that sounds like a lameass sentimental fool thing to say, you must be a stevie fan. don't fear being decisive! choose or be turned into a robot and/or skeleton! grr!

josh is this tsunami of zany meant to disprove me and jess both saying you used to be funnier 'back in the day'?

'tsunami of zany' is copyright (c) the big book of quotes josh hasnt said yet but will if he keeps posting eight things in a row.

i do too josh. at least you knocked those other threads off the top, like you intended.

I think it's clear that Josh needs to start blogging again.

this was a serious question you poofters. prepare to be turned into robotic skeletons! or skeletal automatons!

― Josh, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

er... Megadeth are better.

by the way jel even though I said we'd turn people who didn't choose into robo-skeletons we can still do you if you want. I mean, obviously you have an affinity for that sort of thing

― Josh, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

yeah, go ahead, sounds cool. What does Vic Rattlehead now that Megadeth have split? Bands are so incondiderate.

― jel --, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Megadeth wins singularly because of the entirely rocktastic "Peace Sells But Who's Buyin'?"

Stevie Wonder loses because of the following insipid, cloying aural offences: "I Just called to Say I Love You," "Ebony & Ivory," "That's What Friends are For" and "We Are the World."
