Customer Reviews

GREAT!
first off i'm actually 17, i just don't want to screw up my friends account, the one im using. secondly this is a great box set.

i have no complaints about this product at all. the music is great, the military "warchest" styled box looks cool(the inside graphics as wicked awesome), and the book has over 25 pages of good pictures, a brief history, and discography the band. i have been a fan for about 4-5 years of Megadeth and never owned an album or any music by them until now. on a limb i bought this, and it was a steal. the first three discs are great music, alot of "previously unreleased" song but still great, disc four is a great live cd of their concert in Wembley stadium, London in 1990, and then disc five is a live dvd at Hammersimth, London in 1992, great footage.

to sum it up i would give this a five stars, but the amazon priece is a bit too expensive even for this, so i gave it a four stars. i would recommend buy it from an independent seller for about $[...] or less. i got mine brand new for $[...], a great buy and i love it. good luck in your quest to find a cheap one.

Megadeth's Warchest is the perfect complement to Capitol Records' remasters
The Good
Back in 2004 Capitol Records and Megadeth's Dave Mustaine teamed up to remaster and remix the group's back catalog. Each studio album under Capitol was re-released with bonus tracks, b-sides, and demo material. The final piece of that project is the 4CD/1 DVD release Warchest. The most notable additions to this package are the long sought after tracks from Megadeth's out-of-print EP release Hidden Treasures (with some minor exceptions), two killer live performances (one audio, one video), and some additional unreleased material.

Disc 1: Megadeth's debut album Killing is My Business was not re-released by Capitol, due in part to the fact it was originally released on Combat Records and later on Sanctuary. However, for this collection, Capitol was able to get a hold of two of the Sanctuary tracks (from other albums too), "Killing is My Business..." and "Skull Beneath the Skin" The rest of the disc plays out as a best of for Peace Sells...but Who's Buying, So Far, So Good...So What, and Rust in Peace. The unreleased material contains an alternate mix of "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due," and demos of "Tornado of Souls" and "Five Magics." The remix is almost of the same caliber of the final product, and the demos give you and idea where the tracks started. Megadeth's covers of the Sex Pistols' "Anarchy in the UK" and "Problems" are combined into one track as a studio session take.

Disc 2: This disc combines the best of Countdown to Extinction and Youthanasia, plus quite a few more sought after gems. "Go To Hell," "Angry Again," "Paranoid" and "Diadems" from Hidden Treasures are here, and so is "Breakpoint." However the later is a session take. Four of the tracks from Countdown are live performances from 1992. The live version of "Skin O' My Teeth" is simply awesome. A cover track "Strange Ways" is also included, but for the life of me I can't figure out where it came from (all I have is promo copies - no booklet). Look for the infamous B-side "New World Order" as well.

Disc 3: Trust and Risk hits are featured here, plus Capitol scores some more material from Megadeth's time with Sanctuary with tracks from The World Needs a Hero and The System Has Failed. Rare and unreleased material includes a live Woodstock '99 performance of "A Secret Place," B-side releases of "One Thing," "Duke Nukem," and "Coming Home," and Megadeth's contribution to a Black Sabbath tribute album, "Never Say Die."

Disc 4 & 5: The fourth CD is a classic liver performance from 1990, right around the release of Rust in Peace, which showcases the band at the pinnacle of their career. The DVD is a live performance from two years later that revolves around the release of their biggest selling album Countdown to Extinction. Both performances are a perfect example of Megadeth's signature thrash metal style.

The Bad
There was no reason to include to two brief interview bits with Mustaine. They shed absolutely nothing new in the world of Megadeth. Also, this is said to be the last of all the Capitol years Megadeth material. Where is their version of "Schools Out" from an Alice Cooper tribute? Where is "Capitol Punishment" from their greatest hits album? And one final point that I touched upon when I reviewed the remasters, when you change history you diminish people's memories of how they remember the music. Music is the soundtrack to our life. A new/remixed version of a song that means so much to me is worthless and insulting to me. The original versions of Megadeth's back catalog are gone.

The Verdict
Megadeth's Warchest is the perfect complement to Capitol Records' remasters of the Megadeth back catalog. Even though I believe only fans will rush to check out this one, its still an impressive collection from a heavy metal legend that's sure to live beyond there most defining years.
