Megadeth

     Megadeth began when Metallica’s lead guitarist Dave Mustaine was fired for his excessive drinking habits.  He hooked up with bassist David Ellefson to form Megadeth in 1984.  Megadeth has gone through several line-up changes.  The most recent (and best), after the two Daves finally got off drugs, was adding drummer Nick Menza and soloist Adam Martin (Marty) Friedman between their third and fourth albums.  They have released 6 albums and most recently an E.P. of songs they did for soundtracks, compilations, and tribute albums.  For more info on Megadeth, visit Megadeth, Arizona, the Megadeth CyberArmy Web Site, and the Megadeth Newsgroup.
