Amazon.com Hot on the heels of the speed-metal dandies' first-ever live retrospective, Rude Awakening, comes this most unusual (contract fulfilling?) release. Featuring six previously unreleased live songs captured in November 2001 during what's described as the band's last concerts, Still Alive and Well concludes with an additional six songs lifted wholesale from 2001's The World Needs a Hero, the group's last studio recording. The live tracks ("Time/Use the Man," "Conjuring," "In My Darkest Hour," "Sweating Bullets," "Symphony of Destruction," and "Holy Wars") are up to snuff--fast, bruising, and furious--but of little interest to anyone other than die-hard fans, who doubtless already own The World Needs a Hero. --Kim Hughes Similar CDs

CD ReviewsI'll answer the question: NOT WELL. Not here, anyway. Barry Dejasu | Rehoboth, Massachusetts | 06/15/2004 (1 out of 5 stars) "I'm a huge fan of Megadeth, and have been for a few years; I'd even go as far as saying I'm a completist (I own both the original AND the reissue of KILLING IS MY BUSINESS...). However, this is one Megadeth "album" that I will never waste my money on.Even more absurd than most so-called "best-of" collections, STILL, ALIVE...AND WELL? is simply pointless. We have several tracks from one of the best albums from one of the best thrash acts ever, THE WORLD NEEDS A HERO, and two--count 'em, TWO--unreleased live tracks. Okay...why?Indeed, I'll agree with other fans, this COULD have been another HIDDEN TREASURES, but instead it is a waste of money and time.Trust me, just get THE WORLD NEEDS A HERO and as for the live tracks, you're not missing much. If they're THAT important to you, just look for them as downloads somewhere.LUCKILY, Megadeth has re-formed, with a new bassist and drummer, and a suprising return of the almighty Chris Poland on guitars. Dave's arm is all better, and he's refreshed...and determined. NEW ALBUM COMING SOON!Peace." Ztomeh.... Vic | 12/22/2003 (1 out of 5 stars) "You're a jackass. This album is a rip-off.... what better way to introduce a new Megadeth fan? Try buying Countdown to Extinction or Peace Sells..." Megadeth - 'Still Alive... And Well?' (Sanctuary Records) Mike Reed | USA | 03/30/2006 (3 out of 5 stars) "Since I've seen Megadeth perform live something like at least ten times over the years,I've pretty much gotten burned out on them.I'll still take out a CD of theirs time and again for a spin in my CD player.I thought that 'Still Alive...' is pretty much aimed toward the die-hard fans.It's got half live tracks,including "My Darkest Hour","Sweating Bullets","Symphony Of Destruction",the always nice to hear "Holy Wars"+ two more.Then you get six previously unreleased cuts.If you're a real big Megadeth fan,you'll obviously get more out of this CD than I did.Overall,it's decent."
