Agreed, Mustaine is an awesome guitarist. His lyrics sometimes give me pause, but I do love the way the guy plays.

Was Mustaine the original lead guitarist for Metallica? Who was in the band at the time when he was around.

Yup. Hetfield, Ulrich, and Burton were the other members.

If you have HDNET they will be showing the concert again on March 22nd and 23rd. The concert series is called Megadeth Blood in the Water: Live in San Diego.

I remember when Risk came out and I remember me and my friends abandoning it even before it was cool to talk about bands that were uncool because they were blatantly trying to go mainstream.
With very few exceptions, I generally cringe every time I hear an artist saying that they have 'matured'. To me that equates to that they have run out of originality and have become just another boring radio band.

I'm not familiar with the Risk album, did it come out in the late 90s, early 2000's when Metal was nearly unheard of? Even I hardly listened to metal at the time, as I was getting married and having kids.
Find a copy of Count down to Extinction remastered by Mobile Fidelity, it's really good!

Then I think that is the best answer. At that time no one cared about Metal. These days its coming back. The hip-hop days are getting old and Guitar Hero and Rock Band video games have the kids listening to rock / metal again.

Anyone even heard of the album? I'd quit caring about Megadeth after Peace Sells... I vaguely have a notion that Rust in Peace and the one with Symphony of Destruction on it existed. But I never really liked much Megadeth. Mustaine always came off as whiny to me, and after butchering Anarchy in the UK (after I'd forgiven them for doing the same to Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots" years earlier) I just really never cared about them. Same with Metallica's Kill 'Em All, even as a teen I thought they were immature acts/albums. Bren R.

Agreed, I liked Peace sells but had trouble dealing Mustaine's voice. He was karaoke talent at best.
