Megadeth - Arsenal Of Megadeth
Background Information: Megadeth [Top] Megadeth is an American thrash metal band led by Dave Mustaine. The group was formed in 1983, disbanded in 2002 & reformed again in 2004. Shortly after lead guitarist Dave Mustaine was fired from Metallica due to drug use & personality conflicts, Mustaine & bassist David Ellefson formed Megadeth. Mustaine became the bands singer & primary lyricist as well as playing guitar. The band soon added drummer Lee Rash & temporary guitarist Slayer s Kerry King. Later the same year, Rash was replaced by Gar Samuelson & Chris Poland took over from King on guitar. In late 1984, they were signed to Combat Records & in May 1985 they released their first album, entitled Killing Is My Business. & Business Is Good!. The band had been alloted $8,000 to record & produce the album, but spending half that on drugs left much to be desired in terms of sound quality. Even with its relatively poor production, Megadeths debut was a well-received album that blended elements of speed metal & jazz. In November 1986 they released their second album, Peace Sells.
