It's a shame Eleffson was fired and Menza has passed. Dave had that lineup for 4 albums! It was the only time we were convinced Megadeth wasn't just the Dave Mustaine band.

I wish Menza was atill around too. I never really appreciated how awesome he was till he passed.

[@ElectricBuckeye]

Anyone who has seen the old VH1 "Behind The Music" about Megadeth knows that Marty's biggest letdown was not being able to play Budokan. His heart was in it. Dave overdosed and the shows were cancelled. It pretty much broke Marty's relationship with the band at the time, and Dave. Then Dave had his usually asshat moment because Marty wanted to focus on a different style of music. It eventually led to Marty being kicked out. Im glad to see him playing some shows with them again. He clearly couldnt wait for the Budokan show.

[@senyorlimpiogaming]

Yes i knew all about martys budokan regret. Lots of props to dave for reaching out and offering the guest spot too. He couldve kept being an asshole and done it and not invite marty. Glad it happened how it did, and now he even did a 2nd guest performance.

[@ElectricBuckeye]

@@senyorlimpiogaming I still want to see a Chris Poland reunion in my lifetime. Poland, Ellefson, and maybe Chuck Behler.

[@senyorlimpiogaming]

I can still see a Poland guest spot as a possibility. I think Eleffson has burned that bridge already though.

[@Fackunator]

Well, Marty really left on his own. But other than that, yeah, you hit it right in the head brother

[@elimalinsky7069]

Doesn't seem logical. Dave has been clean since 1990, around the time Rust in Peace came out. Marty hadn't toured with Megadeth yet, he joined just before the Rust in Peace sessions. Dave was indeed a total mess up until that point, with addiction to alcohol between 1983 and 1985 and addiction to hard drugs between 1985 and 1990, with the second half of 1988 being the most serious in his addiction, being on the brink of a fatal overdose, but never since then. He returned to drugs to relieve pain of his arm injury in 2002 but came clean soon after.

[@brakesforsnakes757]

This brings tears to my eyes.

[@bellafinispizza]

Dave has such a huge persona! he comes lurching in all calm looking like a characature of himself, fucking epic!!!!

[@garyjbaker]

A friend and I met Megadeth briefly once during the Rust In Peace days at Tower Records in Piccadilly Circus in London. Must have been around 1992/1993. Queued for nearly 3 hours just to speak to them for a few minutes and get my Rust In Peace CD signed by Mustaine, Ellefson, Friedman and Menza (RIP). Told Marty that his solo in Tornado Of Souls was one of my top 3 favourite solos ever.... and it still is to this day. All 4 of them were nice, in the few minutes interaction we had with them. Then we saw them live at Hammersmith Odeon that night supported by Alice In Chains if memory serves. Amazing guitarist. Rust In Peace and Countdown To Extinction are still two of my favourite metal albums all these years later. 🙂

[@senyorlimpiogaming]

Man, I love this story. So many things about it bring good memories. Tower Records. Alice in Chains. Gahd. Miss that era so much. So happy you had an awesome interaction with the guys. That was peak Deth, in my opinion

Glad to see Marty to get to play with megadeth their ,they were supposed to play their years ago but I believe Dave was sick from drug abuse and had to cancel the show
