Description
2018 marked the 35th anniversary for Megadeth, one of the most influential powerhouses in thrash metal. All year long the band celebrated with various events, culminating in Warheads on Foreheads - with Dave Mustaine personally A&R'ing a new anthology honoring his legacy - 35 tracks for 35 years, on 3CD.

Numerous comps out there, but sounds like this might be a good all-encompassing career anthology which would be nice.

Let's see what gets selected though.

Weird that the song Peace Sells doesn't appear on it. That had a video and got some airplay.

That one will be on the special edition re-release in about 8 months. :D

I'd have thought it was their most well known song, other than maybe "Killing is my Business".

Have they announced if the first 2 and 1/3 discs are the original mixes or the questionable remixes that Mustaine did in 2004?

This release seems more geared towards the 4 vinyl set rather than the 3 CD collection. I'd have to check the song lengths, just at first glance it seem like this should fit onto 2 CDs.

Nope, would not fit on 2 CDs. Using the remastered song lengths:

Disc 1 = 50:17
Disc 2 = 54:28
Disc 3 = 61:01

Total time = 165:46

The System Has Failed is a criminally under-rated record and, not really a surprise, is very much under-represented on this compilation. I have that one rated as Megadeth's third best album behind only Rust In Peace and Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?

Warheads On Foreheads has had a sizable price drop. It's gone down by $10, and is currently $19.99:

From a recent interview with Dave:

Quote:
We're here to celebrate the release of Warheads on Foreheads, the Megadeth anthology. There's 35 tracks on this record that are sequenced chronologically. What's revealed about your refinement as a songwriter when someone listens to your work in that linear progression?

Oh wow. Great question. I think one of the things that started, in the beginning, was the aggression of the music. And as I started to learn a little bit more about melody, I tried to incorporate that into our songs because there's just a lot of people who can pick really fast with their right hand. The left hand is, no offense, but it's ignorant. And you find that real shredders, sometimes both hands are really great, but the heart doesn't make the connection to the hands.

So, there's a lot of things that I've learned from some great producers working with all the guys I've done over my career. Max Norman did the Ozzy records, the first two. And I learned so much from him, and from Andy Sneap and John K., and yeah, everybody.

Every studio album is represented by at least one track on this. But some prominent songs were omitted, most notably, "Peace Sells." What was your criteria for a song to be part of this compilation?

We have almost, if not over, 200 songs. I forgot the number, but it's a lot. So, to pick 35 from them — do the math. It's like six to a seventh of the whole body of work, and some songs are gonna be left behind, most noticeably "Peace Sells."

Everyone's noticed that that's not there and part of me says, "Okay yeah, we didn't put it on there, agreed." But the other part is, "Haven't you heard that song enough?" Don't you want to hear like 'Wanderlust' or some of the other songs that are really really important to me? You've heard 'Holy Wars,' you've heard 'Symphony of Destruction,' you've heard 'Peace Sells.'" And out of all the songs that have been played, I think "Peace Sells" has been played the longest the most.
