LOU REED: NOT ON THE NEW MEGADETH SINGLE

I really liked “Public Enemy No. 1,” the first single from Megadeth’s forthcoming TH1RT3EN, and I liked it even more after I heard the band perform it live at the Big Four show earlier this month. But based on the comments below our story about that song, it seems like you guys really weren’t feeling it.

Hopefully, you’ll dig the second song released from that album, “Never Dead,” more. It has a really classic-sounding Mustaine riff, and while I think the hook could be a little stronger, it still beats the heck outta anything on United Abominations. BONUS: There is no spoken-word poetry to be heard on the whole thing.

TH1RT3EN comes out November 1 via Roadrunner.
