Megadeth is an American heavy metal band led by founder and principal songwriter Dave Mustaine. It is one of the major bands of heavy metal; He has appeared several times in the top 10 of the Billboard charts and has sold over 25 million copies worldwide. It was created in 1983 after Mustaine was expelled from Metallica, where he held the post of guitarist. Since then, the band has released twelve studio albums, three EPs and two live albums. The formation of Megadeth has changed much and constantly throughout its history, in part because of substance abuse by Dave Mustaine, which has caused various problems with the rest of the band.
After getting sober and finding a stable formation after being admitted to a clinic because of these problems, Megadeth got several albums of platinum and gold, including the multi-platinum album and Grammy nominee 'Countdown to Extinction' in 1992. Megadeth disbanded in 2002 after Mustaine suffered a severe nerve injury to his left arm, but after intense physical therapy, guitarist reformed the band in 2004, Megadeth released the album 'the System has Failed'. Megadeth is known for its distinctive style guitars, the peculiar form to sing of Mustaine, and themes of his lyrics, often recurrent, politics, war, and more recently relationships.
Two music videos of the band have been censored in the MTV music channel due to alleged issues in favor of suicide. Megadeth is one of the thrash bands most famous metal in history, as it has sold over 25 million albums worldwide, including five platinum albums in a row and seven consecutive Grammy for Best Metal Performance nominations. Through its 25 active years, Megadeth has had 18 official members, being Mustaine the only permanent member and principal songwriter. Megadeth is commonly referred to as a member of the Big Four of thrash metal (Big Four of Thrash), along with Anthrax, Metallica and Slayer.
Guitarist Dave Mustaine founded Megadeth in 1983 after being expelled from Metallica due to personality problems and alcohol (according to another version, Dave was kicked out of striking punch James Hetfield, after attacking the latter's dog redheaded guitarist, which will he kept anyone to touch him carrying drugs in the car). His former colleagues had expelled him and had sent back home on a journey of 48 hours by bus, during which the rage that Mustaine was carrying caused the idea of starting his own band accentuated. During this trip, Mustaine read in a political pamphlet the term "megadeath" (megadeath, measurement unit equivalent to one million human deaths used in calculations of the US military) and hence came the name of this exponent of thrash metal.
Later, Mustaine declared that "after being fired from Metallica, all I remember is that I wanted blood, yours. I wanted to be faster than them." Previously, Mustaine had been mulling the name Fallen Angel, the name of a short-lived project established in 1983 with bassist Matt Kisselstein. After searching fruitlessly for six months a vocalist for the band, it is Mustaine who gets the work of singer, leaving the seed formation of Megadeth conformed with Mustaine as a singer and guitarist, Dijon Carruthers in the battery (which was later replaced by Lee Rausch) , bassist David Ellefson and guitarist Greg Handevidt, who ended up leaving the band to form his own project, "Kublai Khan", leaving the formation in a trio.
After recording a first demo, Lee Rausch is replaced by drummer Gar Samuelson, and, advised by Samuelson, enters the formation Chris Poland, the second guitarist to give the band a more full sound. Before the arrival of Poland, the second guitarist Kerry King was but a single month was in the band when he returned to Slayer. This circumstance led to a clash between Slayer and Mustaine that lasted several years. In early 1985, the label Combat Records Mustaine gave $ 8,000 to record and produce their first album. However, after spending half the sum in alcohol and drugs, the band had to fire the producer and do it themselves.
Thus, the debut album of Megadeth is born, 'Killing Is My Business ... and Business Is Good!', published in May 1985. Despite the bad production, the album achieved quite good reviews due to the mix of elements thrash metal, speed metal and punk. The disc contains the version of the famous song "These Boots Are Made For Walking" Nancy Sinatra, in this case it is called "These Boots", with lyrics altered Mustaine. This brought problems in the future the band since their original composer, Lee Hazlewood, argued that the letters changed Mustaine were offensive, and demanded that the song does not appear on the disc. However, in the reissue of the work in 2002, reappears the song, although parts are censored profanity.
During the tour to promote the album, guitarist Chris Poland leaves the group and was replaced by Mike Albert, but Poland would return to the group just before start recording the next album of Megadeth, 'Peace Sells ... But Who's Buying?'. The episode recording the second album of the band was similar to the first, since Combat Records paid a small amount to the band to pay for the production, which made retrain the band switching to Capitol Records, where he edited 'Peace Sells. .. But who's Buying ', an album that marked a before and after in the popularity of the group: from the edition of the album, the band becomes one of the most important in the panorama thrash in the United States, arriving to sell a million records in their country of origin.
"Peace Sells", first single was the song subject of the first video of the band, and reached quite popular on MTV. In addition, the cover of the work is the first that incorporates training mascot, named Vic Rattlehead with the United Nations building destroyed by a nuclear attack on her back. In this era opened in the tour Alice Cooper, besides sharing cartel in Britain with bands like Overkill or Necros. After the corresponding tour to the album, Chris Poland and Gar Samuelson are fired from training due to high drug abuse, allegedly for selling part of the material of the band during the tour to pay for his drug addiction.
They were replaced by Chuck Behler and Jeff Young, who joined the band six weeks before start recording what would be his third album, So Far, So Good ... So What! ', in 1987. The band spends five months recording their new album due to the constant problems of Mustaine with drugs and discussions with producer Paul Lani. Mustaine would later say that "the production of the album was horrible." Lani was replaced by Michael Wagener (although in the reissue of the album, there are some songs published by Lani). Having overcome all problems, Megadeth releases his third album, So Far, So Good ... So What! ', In January 1988, which came quickly to platinum in the United States despite the bad reviews initials.
The album includes a song dedicated to the late Metallica bassist Cliff Burton in bus accident, titled "In My Darkest Hour", which soon becomes one of the biggest hits of the band until today. In addition, the disc has a version of "Anarchy in the U.K." Sex Pistols with the altered lyrics, made then confirmed by Mustaine, who said had misunderstood. The tour to promote the album begins in February 1988, opening for Dio and Iron Maiden. During this, Mustaine notices problems between him and drummer Chuck Behler, which hired Nick Menza to serve as support in case of dismissal of the former.
This occurs during the "Monsters of Rock" in 1988, in which, after the first performance before 100,000 people, Mustaine fired Behler and Jeff Young, and canceled their participation in the festival and toured Australia. In 1989, Menza joins the group permanently, but had not found a replacement for Young on guitar, so the band was established during this period as a trio. During this time, Mustaine, under the influence of drugs, has a car accident against an off-duty policeman, which is arrested and sentenced to stay a while in a rehabilitation program.
During the period of detoxification and sobriety of Mustaine, it begins to look for substitutes Young, giving the end with Marty Friedman in 1990 after shuffling names like Dimebag Darrell or Lee Altus. A month later, Megadeth enters the studio to record their next album 'Rust in Peace', one of the biggest selling albums in the history of the band. Mike Clink becomes the first producer of the band without being fired during the recording of an album of Megadeth due to the sobriety that accompanied the formation thanks to successful rehabilitation program that had been following Mustaine. The album, with more progressive than its predecessors dyes, goes on sale on September 24, 1990, and was nominated in 1991 and 1992 for Best Metal Performance at the Grammy Awards.
During 1990, Megadeth joins Slayer, Testament and Suicidal Tendencies in a joint tour and Judas Priest in his successful tour 'Painkiller', which ended with a performance in the second edition of Rock in Rio to 140,000 people. In 1991 he joined a tour of the United States with Slayer, Anthrax and Alice in Chains. This tour was nearly canceled due to the constant clashes of Tom Araya and Dave Lombardo with Dave Mustaine, because Dave did the press a series of verbal attacks against Tom Araya on all sorts of things, from their habits in their spare time until his body odor. Araya returned the attack with a few comments about personal insecurities of Dave Mustaine.
But the fights ended when they arrived for a concert in Phoenix, Arizona. Mustaine came into the dressing rooms of Slayer with outstretched hand and apologizing for the nasty remarks and the negative press that it had generated. After finishing the tour, Megadeth wrote the song "Go to Hell" for the soundtrack of the movie "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey '. After this intense period of concerts, the band members enter the studio to record the next album, 'Countdown to Extinction', in 1992. The work proved to be an instant hit in the United States, becoming the best-selling album training to achieve double platinum.
'Countdown to Extinction' earned a nomination in the category of Best Metal Performance Grammy in 1993. From this year, Megadeth toured with bands like Pantera, Stone Temple Pilots or Suicidal Tendencies. During this tour Mustaine lies with the old problems of drug addiction, finishing off the massive tour in the hospital. After seven weeks of rehab, Mustaine says to have recovered definitively and returns to the stage to collaborate with Metallica in a performance as special guests, which marked the first collaboration between Mustaine and his former bandmates since his dismissal in 1983. Mustaine stated about during the tour that differences had passed into history.
In addition, Megadeth records the song "Angry Again" for the soundtrack of the movie 'Last Action Hero', which was later nominated for a Grammy Award in 1994. Following this appearance with his former enemies, Megadeth embarks on a tour with Aerosmith , just for the band after seven concerts by contractual differences. After this failed tour, the band recorded "99 Ways to Die" for the soundtrack of MTV's Beavis and Butt-head series, which would win another nomination more Grammy in 1995. In early 1994, Megadeth composes and records his next job, 'Youthanasia', after various problems with the recording location thereof finished to build themselves their study, "Fat Planet in Hangar 18" in reference to the song "Hangar 18" 'Rust in Peace'.
The album comes out on November 1, 1994, reaching gold in Canada in just thirty minutes disk faster than any previous work of the band platinum. This is given by the style and fit for most commercial radio stations arrangements, although it did not become the most successful album of the group. At this time, Megadeth becomes one of the first formations to assemble their own official website. One of the songs on the album, "A Tout Le Monde", allegedly speaks of suicide-related issues, which MTV refused to issue the corresponding video. The tour to support the album featured bands like Korn, Fear Factory, Alice Cooper or Ozzy Osbourne, whom he covered the classic Black Sabbath "Paranoid" in the tribute album to the band, entitled 'Nativity in Black'.
This issue was nominated for a Grammy in 1996, becoming the sixth Grammy nomination in as many years. As a promotion work, Megadeth publishes 'Hidden Treasures', a compilation of issues that had been included in various film soundtracks or versions of different authors. After the grueling tour 'Youthanasia', Megadeth takes a break during 1995, in which Mustaine works on a project with Lee Ving, vocalist of Fear, called MD.45. On the other hand, the band hires a new manager, Bud Prager, who had previously worked with Bad Company and Foreigner and dragged the formation to a more commercial style, reviewing the process of composition of his next album.
In 1996, the group begins to record their next album, which initially holder 'Needles and Pins' was going and then renamed as 'Cryptic Writings', the first album in which the mascot Vic Rattlehead not appear on the cover . Although it appears part of the group mascot on the side of the disc. The album goes on sale in June 1997 on Capitol Records, and became the sixth work of Megadeth in being certified gold album in the United States. The song "Trust" climbing to the highest position ever achieved by a song of the band in the singles charts, reaching the fifth position in the mainstream charts.
As a result, the subject won a Grammy Award nomination for Best Metal Performance in 1998. Mustaine said of the album that "was divided into three parts: the first part was fast and aggressive, the most melodic below and the third was more music oriented radio as 'Youthanasia' ". After more than a year away from the stage, Megadeth reappears on tour with 'The Misfits' in June 1997, continuing throughout the year with 'Life of Agony' and 'Coal Chamber'. During the 1998 Ozzfest, Menza discovered a tumor on his knee and is forced to leave the tour to undergo surgery. His replacement is Jimmy DeGrasso, who had come in principle temporarily but later joined the group permanently after Mustaine say that Menza had "lied about his cancer."
After tasting the sweetness of radio success with "Trust", the band returns to the studio with the producer of their previous album, Dann Huff, who produced their eighth studio album in 1999, called 'Risk'. Five of the twelve songs that comprise the disc were co-written by manager Bud Prager, who also gave wide powers to Huff, recognized for having worked with numerous formations country. The result was a resounding critical and commercial failure, losing even before the publication of the work followers. Because the five successes followed by his predecessor, 'Cryptic Writings', the group incorporates very radio elements that defrauded most fans, coming to include influences from disco and dance.
'Risk' was the first album since 'Killing Is My Business ..' not getting gold in the United States. The tour supporting the album had the collaboration of Iron Maiden. After three months, Marty Friedman announced his departure from the formation causes citing "musical differences". As a replacement for Friedman, Mustaine gives with Al Pitrelli, former Alice Cooper and Savatage, in 2000. That same year, Megadeth returned to the studio for recording their ninth album, but the opportunity to be part of Maximum Tour with Anthrax and Mötley Crüe makes them change their minds, freezing the recording process and turning later by North America.
After fourteen years, Megadeth breaks its relations with Capitol Records, releasing a compilation album of greatest hits called 'Capitol Punishment: The Megadeth Years', which appear two songs previously recorded and be part of their next album' The World Needs a Hero '. In November 2000, Megadeth signed with a new record company, Sanctuary Records, and returns to the recording studios in October adding the finishing touches to their next album, which had recorded most before acting in Maximum Rock touches. Following the overwhelming negative response to 'Risk', Mustaine dismisses the manager Bud Prager, and decided to be the producer of the next album of Megadeth, entitled 'The World Needs a Hero' which would become the first Megadeth album since 'Rust in Peace 'composed entirely of Mustaine (with a contribution of All Pitrelli in "Promises").
It was released on 15 May 2001. While the album marked a return to the classic style of Megadeth after the failure of 'Risk', some critics said the album had few expectations. Later the single "Moto-Psycho" that makes it to # 22 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock charts is released. The tour to promote the album featured AC / DC in Europe and Iced Earth and Endo in the United States. However, it was suspended after the attacks of September 11. In November, the band released their first live DVD, 'Rude Awakening' with recordings of two concerts in Arizona, United States (originally it was going to burn in Argentina, but because of the attacks the band decided to record in the U.S).
Already in 2002, remastered and reissued is the debut album of the band, 'Killing Is My Business ... and Business Is Good!'. In January 2002, Mustaine had to go into hospital for a kidney stone removed. While in treatment, applied drugs caused him pain, which caused a relapse. After his stay in the hospital, he was immediately treated at a medical center in the state of Texas (United States). While at the center, Mustaine suffered a freak injury causing severe nerve damage to his left arm. The injury occurred when falling asleep with his arm on the back of a chair, causing a compression of the radial nerve.
He was diagnosed with radial neuropathy, also known as "paralysis Saturday night" which left him unable to grasp or even close his left hand. On April 3, 2002, Mustaine announced in a press conference that Megadeth dissolved due to the injury to his arm. In the following months, Mustaine is subjected to intense physical therapy five days a week. Slowly, Mustaine began to play again, but had to "re-teach" his left hand. To meet contract obligations with Sanctuary Records, Megadeth released a compilation album titled 'Still Alive ... And Well?' the September 10, 2002.
The first half of the album live songs recorded at the Web Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona on November 17, 2001, while the second half of the album contains studio recordings taken from 'The World Needs a Hero'. After his recovery, Mustaine began work on his first solo album. The new material was recorded with two session musicians Vinnie Colaiuta and Jimmy Sloas in October 2003, but the project was closed when Mustaine added remix and relaunches its eighth album with Capitol Records. Mustaine re-recorded some old parts that were forgotten or some parts that were altered without him to know it during the original recordings.
In May 2004, Mustaine returned to his solo project, but the legal obligations of the contract with the European label EMI forced him to record a new album under the name "Megadeth", reason why decided to reform the band and contact the favorite formation of fans of Megadeth, that of 'Rust in Peace', to record some old songs again. While drummer Nick Menza accepts, Marty Friedman and David Ellefson were unable to reach an agreement with Mustaine. Time after bassist Ellefson rejected the offer to return to the band, Mustaine said: "David lied to the press, said the injury in my arm was false We made a very good offer (to rejoin the band). and he said no. "
The new album of the band would be the first where Ellefson not participate. To replace Friedman, Mustaine hired a former member of the band, guitarist Chris Poland, to participate with single of the new album. On September 14, 2004 Megadeth released their album 'The System Has Failed' with Sanctuary Records in the US and EMI in Europe. The Revolver magazine gives it four stars and defines the album as: "The most musically complex and powerful since the release of 'Countdown to Extinction' Megadeth album." The album debuted on the Billboard at # 18 and was followed by the single "Die Dead Enough", which reached # 21 in the United States in the Mainstream Rock charts. Mustaine said that this would be the last album of Megadeth, and conduct a farewell world tour, then focus on his solo career.

I have a lot of good memories, and I met a lot of wonderful people during this time, both fans and industry people. "
