Dave Mustaine discusses the origin of the name "Megadeth"
Dave Mustaine is the founder and frontman of the metal band Megadeth, and his story of how he chose the name for the band has become legendary amongst heavy metal fans. He got inspiration from a friend's phrase "mega-deth" in reference to an extreme form of musical destruction.
Taking this concept, Mustaine created a new word that would become synonymous with hard-driving thrash metal - Megadeth! Though it took him some time to build up his fan base, over thirty years later, Dave Mustaine and Megadeth have become one of the most respected names in modern heavy metal music. So next time you blast your favorite Megadeth song, remember its origin story - it’s much more than just a cool name!

He is a legend, that is undenyable

[@LAIRDO-]

Fun fact: Pink Floyd at one time were known as "The Meggadeaths".

Dave is such a mixed bag of a guy... Despite the fact that he IS essentially Megadeth and after Ellefson was officially booted forever from the band Megadeth is in fact just a solo career, he has millions of records sold, is world famous, talented and has essentially done it all himself....He STILL CANNOT LET GO of the fact he was booted from Metallica. Even as far as 2023 interviews he STILL says, "my former band"... It's incredible he still says this shit.

Unless you’ve experienced the same hardships these musicians have gone through, to become successful in life, you don’t have the right to criticize their lifestyles today, especially you, keyboard warriors, living in Mom’s basement. 😂
