专辑介绍

一张重磅炸弹级别的超级精选珍藏合辑五碟版。

Megadeth于2007年秋天发行经典歌曲合辑《Warchest》，其中四张是CD版经典合辑.但是第五张的DVD与本次第四张的CD内的现场版内容几乎一样，略微少了几首歌，第四张和第五张DVD的歌曲是1992年在伦敦Hammersmith Odeon的演唱会版（由于第5CD的歌曲重复和DVD的缘故在这里就不发布第5CD了）。该专辑收录了至Megadeth建队以来大部分经典歌曲、一些现场和几首未放行过的曲目。整张专辑武装化的包装风格，从封面、册子到CD碟无不让人联想到战争和杀戮，当然还有音乐，CD碟如上了堂的子弹，放入CD机内让“战争”的“硝烟”弥漫周围的空气!!

Warchest is a box set from the American heavy metal band Megadeth. Warchest features five discs (4 CD + DVD) and features studio tracks, demos and live recordings of a number of the band's songs from its previous eleven studio albums and rarities EP. The box set was released on October 9, 2007 by EMI/Capitol Records, and sold around 1,100 copies in the United States in its first week.

While the content on discs 1-3 is assorted, disc 4 was recorded live at Wembley Arena, London, England, on October 14, 1990. The location and date is incorrectly listed in the liner notes. The liner notes and packaging list disc 4 as being recorded at Wembley Stadium on October 16th, 1990. The concert featured on disc 4 was the last date on the European leg of the &Clash Of The Titans Tour& in 1990. This tour (including Megadeth) played Wembley Arena on October 14th, 1990. There was no concert on October 16th or at Wembley Stadium, for that matter. Furthermore, during the concert set, just before the Megadeth plays the song &Good Mourning / Black Friday&, Dave Mustaine asks the crowd, &Today's Sunday, right?...&. This can be clearly heard on the CD. October 14th fell on a Sunday in 1990. October 16th was a Tuesday. The &Clash Of The Titans Tour& also featured Suicidal Tendencies, Anthrax and Slayer during the European leg. Disc 5 is DVD, and it was recorded live at Hammersmith Odeon, London, England, on September 30, 1992. Its audio was encoded to stereo Linear PCM. The DVD does not include Megadeth's full performance from that night. (wiki)

The canonization of Megadeth that began in 2002 with the remixed edition of the band's debut, Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good! (1985), continued over the years with further deluxe-packaged, remastered reissues of each studio album, and ultimately led to Warchest, a massive five-disc (four CDs, one DVD) box set boasting over six hours of music, including 33 previously unreleased tracks. There's something for everyone -- from longtime fans to neophytes -- in this box, which is similar in both approach and packaging to Slayer's five-disc Soundtrack to the Apocalypse (2003). The first three discs of Warchest are a chronological survey of the Megadeth catalog to date. The first disc covers the time frame spanning Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good! (1985), Peace Sells...But Who's Buying? (1986), So Far, So Good...So What! (1988), and Rust in Peace (1990); the second covers Countdown to Extinction (1992) and Youthanasia (1994); and the third covers Cryptic Writings (1997), Risk (1999), The World Needs a Hero (2001), and The System Has Failed (2004). Previously unreleased items are interspersed throughout, keeping with the chronological sequencing. The most notable of these are an unabridged session take of &Anarchy in the U.K.& (circa So Far, So Good) that segues into &Problems,& another Sex Pistols song; a few Rust in Peace demos (&Holy Wars,& &Tornado of Souls,& &The Five Magics&); and live performances (circa 1992) of several Countdown to Extinction songs. There's also the entire fourth disc, a high-quality live recording of a concert at Wembley Stadium in London on October 16, 1990. The audio is amazing, with stereo separation of the guitars, and toward the end of the concert, former Diamond Head lead vocalist Sean Harris joins the band on-stage to sing &It's Electric.& The fifth disc, the DVD, is another live performance, this one at Hammersmith Odeon in London on September 30, 1992. Warchest also comes with an informative booklet laden with photos and discographical notes. If there's a major complaint that could be filed against Warchest, it's that it includes precious little of Megadeth's three key albums: Peace Sells, Rust in Peace, and Countdown to Extinction. But this complaint doesn't carry much weight, because the songs from those albums are indeed here in alternate versions (for instance, the live recordings are primarily of songs from these three albums), and also because any Megadeth fan will want to have those classic albums in full anyhow.
