[@k3vbro]

The videographer knows exactly where to be for every part of this song. Post up in front of Marty for solos, right up in Nick's grill for sick drum parts and all artsy fartsy low angle for Dave's sick bass licks. Amazing time capsule for an amazing band in their prime. Long live this line-up as one of the best ever in metal history.

[@S-A-CCL]

I'm not a drummer, can you explain to me how could a drummer put his feelings and personality in his playing ?

[@hazardeur]

god damn, i wrote a whole page of text to explain it but deleted it by accident. in short, just compare a guy like virgil donati vs a guy like Lars Ulrich. both have a distinct sound and they are far apart skill wise....actually very far :) . the more you listen, the more you learn the nuances.

[@S-A-CCL]

[@alagaradazado]

God.. Menza is so much better than Drover.. He feels the music! He puts energy on it

[@alagaradazado]

Never said Drover sucks, just said Menza was better. I'm also a megadeth fan, I like Drover too, but LIVE, he doesn't look like he's enjoying the show at all. I saw them in 2012 in CTE Tour, HE ROCKS the drums, but his face seems like he's just doing for the money, no energy, no headbang, no feels. Well, thats my opinion, dude! Cheers!

[@jacobrivera5524]

Henrique G. So true, my favorite megadeth line up was with menza and friendman

[@ThisIsMathu]

The thing is that Drover is an opened arm drummer.. :/

[@wannabepunk2]

Did it ever occur to you that Menza was young when he was in Megadeth and Drover was in his 40s when he joined MEgadeth ?? Age matters bro

[@mattlovesdrums25]

Henrique G. That's kinda just Drover's personality. In backstage videos, he's just kind of a shy guy, very introvert. Both are good, but Menza is definitely a better performer.

[@Msixx6]

Same here. I've heard people describe the intro as filler, but it provides breathing room for the listener after 'Take No Prisoners' and gives the song a mysterious quality. No other line up of musicians can lend such gravity to a song with such cheesy lyrics. The rhythms are exotic, the otherworldly solos. Its so bizarre that they decided to pare down their songwriting in the next album. I guess they were trying to cater to what they thought were public tastes? As of 2017, no band has released an album of the same quality as Rust in Peace, released in 1990.

[@shedcitystudios]

With the venture Marty Friedman has going overseas and the success that's followed it seems kind of foolish that he'd be open for reunion. Menza on the other hand, would give Megadeth the power and grunt it truly deserves. That boring, predictable step by step style and drumming Drover provided was personally, unbearable for me. Menza or somebody like would bring something fresh absent for so long back to megadeth. Bring Marty and Menza back, even for just an album, and you have an absolute powerhouse. Something truly magical.

[@seanottaway1615]

Marty really doesn't want to play metal and Mustaine doesn't care for Menza because he claimed Menza lied to him about having cancer.

[@LulzAreGud]

***** Lol Marty is still playing metal, he started a solo music project, which looks to me he's trying hard to be some kind of Yngwei Malmsteen, but it just doesnt suit him.

[@shanlon8861]

Enough can't be said when it comes to what Menza and Friedman brought to the table. So much wouldn't be said if Menza had been replaced by anyone comparable and in my opinion there's only one Marty. Paul Gilbert is probably the only guy that could shred so well with such passion and technical prowess, thinking Racer X days here. I say at least give Nick another chance and I totally agree that at least another album with both those guys. Why the fuck not?
