Review by Chuck Bacon<\/p>\n
So, Dave Mustaine is still doing the headbanging thing. He may not have a huge-ass following in the US much these days, but they sure do love him down South America way.<\/p>\n
Just out for US consumption, That One Night<\/i> is a DVD of a concert at Obras Sanitarios Stadium in Buenos Aires on October 2005; it’s proof positive that Megadeth are indeed still alive and kicking, still thrashing out Mustaine\u2019s own style of loud-ass rock & roll. This is a video testament of a smokin\u2019 show they put on to a huge crowd of adoring Argentinean headbanging Megadeth fans. The disc starts of with some before-show banter of Dave, chatting about how it\u2019s been a while that he\u2019s been a rockin\u2019 dude and so on and blah, blah, blah, as he\u2019s riding in a limo to the gig in Argentina. Then, mercifully, the yammering is cut short and the show starts and \u2013 ta-da: Megadeth jump into it feet first, starting off the show with \u201cBlackmail the Universe\u201d a kind of interesting but typical Megadeth tune.<\/p>\n
One thing I can say about Mustaine & Company is that they\u2019ve aged, musically, better than their former rivals, Metallica, Dave having been at one time a guitar player in Metallica in the early Megaforce days until they kicked him out of the band for smoking too much hash and becoming a drag on the band. Oh well, \u201dscrew them,\u201d said Dave and started Megadeth.<\/p>\n
Then next thing you know, a few years go by and what happens? Well, that all-important buck enticed Metallica to suddenly go soft, cut their hair short and go all \u201cestablishment\u201d on us. Megadeth themselves never really went away, they, going through various personnel changes, kept on rocking speed-metal style, mostly under the radar, then almost doing a Metallica in the wake of their semi-hit song for the Last Action Hero<\/i> soundtrack in the 90s, \u201cSymphony of Destruction\u201d, but luckily things did what they did and disaster was averted.<\/p>\n
For all you speed-metal purists out there who hate Metallica for selling out that way and even cutting their hair, then That One Night<\/i> is a DVD that will please you \u2013 it\u2019ll give you that exciting, warm rush of a feeling to know that just because headbangers age doesn\u2019t mean they have to get mellow and turn into Journey or something, you know? Kudos to Megadeth for that! Well, OK, I\u2019ll admit it, Megadeth are still pretty all right at what they do, but if you want to see a band that has stayed totally hard-core speed-metal all this time, look at Slayer, they\u2019d make Mustaine et al look like the Archies.<\/p>\n
Anyway, the concert itself is a loud, fast, ear-splitting bombast-fest. Mustaine\u2019s still got quick, nimble fingers that fly all over the neck of the bitchin\u2019 Flying V guitar. Some of the highlights, besides the opener, include \u201cReckoning Day\u201d, \u201cTornado of Souls\u201d, \u201cSomething That I\u2019m Not\u201d, \u201cKick the Chair\u201d and even a blast of the past with a smokin\u2019 \u201cPeace Sells (but Who\u2019s Buying?)\u201d as well as other double-barreled bass drum, ass-kicking rockers. Jimmy eat your heart out! [http:\/\/www.megadeth.com]<\/p>\n
