Mustaine’s return to melodic metal in the 2013 Super Collider was that resurgence I had been waiting for, and all but reignited my love for Megadeth.
This resulted in the subpar and uneven albums United Abominations, Endgame (the best of the three) and Thirteen. The final era has been a decade of history-chasing, where Mustaine has been bending to the fans’ desire for a return their roots. The 2001 The World Needs a Hero was Mustaine rediscovering himself, and thrash, while the planned solo album, the 2004 The System Has Failed, was a masterpiece of a send-off to the old-school Megadeth. Being an avid Megadeth fan for 25 years (exactly!), I’ve separated the band into eras, all of which revolve around guitarist Marty Friedman.įor me, Megadeth truly came together with the 1990 Rust in Peace and then concluded with the 1999 Risk (when Marty left the band). This is important for a few reasons, mostly that Mustaine was forced to assemble Megadeth quickly, and is proven by the fact that he took on vocal duties when he was unable to find someone he liked. If you didn’t know, Mustaine was a founding member of Metallica and exited the band prior to the recording of Kill ‘Em All, for which he was an intricate part of (as well as Ride the Lightning). As much as Dave Mustaine would probably hate to hear this, Megadeth is synonymous with Metallica.
