Megadeth, Machine Head, Suicide Silence, and Arcanium at The Rave/Eagles Ballroom
By now the story of Megadeth has passed into metal legend: Within months of getting tossed out of Metallica, Dave Mustaine started up his own rival thrash metal group as a big “fuck you” to his former bandmates. Fueled by revenge and speedballs, Megadeth would go on to sell 25 million records over the next two decades, but Mustaine’s awkward confrontation of Lars Ulrich in 2004’s Some Kind Of Monster showed that the pain of rejection (and a massive inferiority complex) still lurked years later. Nevertheless, Mustaine seems more or less no worse for wear as Megadeth approaches its 30th anniversary. All cleaned up and born again, Mustaine remains the sole original member of the band, which is touring behind its new album Endgame.
