Megadeth

  / artists (M)
Real Name:Dave Mustaine, Glen Drover, Shawn Drover, James Lomenzo
Profile:founded by Dave Mustaine after he was kicked out of Metallica, the core members have been Mustaine (guitar, vocals) and Dave Ellefson (bass), joined by a string of session musicians for the first three albums. with their fourth album, 1990's "Rust in Peace", they got off the drugs and recruited Marty Friedman (guitar) and Nick Menza (drums) and managed to keep this stable line-up for three more albums.

In 2002 Megadeth split up after Mustaine sustained an injury to his arm. He says in interviews he was sick of the rest of the band anyway, even founding member Ellefson.

When his injury was healed he recorded a solo album, however due to contractual obligations with his record company, it had to be a Megadeth album, 2004's "The System has Failed"

User Reviews:

fabriknos, Mar 10, 2008

Although nowhere close to the sound they started with, Megadeth will always remain one of the most instrumental bands in the metal genre and enough praise cannot be given to the early 90s lineup of Mustaine, Ellefson, Friedman and Menza. No other ensemble of musicians was able to capture the skill and intensity of these four in terms of "technical metal." While my personal favorite will always be Rust in Peace, one of the crowning achievements in metal, anything up to Youthanasia can be put on a pedestal as an example for others to try to match. My memory of Megadeth will never be tarnished by the commercial stuff after the mid 90s, you can't take away the genius from before!
