Led by the growled vocals and razor-wire riffing of Dave Mustaine, Megadeth are one of the ābig fourā thrash titans. Shortly after being kicked out of Metallica in 1983, Mustaine met bassist David Ellefson, and the pair bonded quickly, forming the core of Megadeth. Drummer Gar Samuelson and guitarist Chris Poland later joined, and Megadeth released their underground-hit debut Killing Is My Businessā¦ And Business Is Good! in 1985. Its follow-up, Peace Sellsā¦ But Who's Buying?, solidified the bandās status with sprawling yet tightly wound songs like the uneasy opener āWake Up Deadā and the fiery title track. So Far, So Goodā¦ So What!, released in 1988, featured a new lineup as well as a thrashy cover of the Sex Pistolsā āAnarchy In the U.K.ā and the anti-PMRC broadside āHook In Mouth.ā In 1990 they released Rust In Peace, with Nick Menza on drums and technical wizard Marty Friedman on guitar; songs such as āHoly Warsā¦ The Punishment Dueā and āHangar 18ā blended pummeling riffs and suspicion-fueled lyrics with a stadium-rock ambition that matched the eraās metal-embracing tendencies. Countdown to Extinction, released in 1992, and Youthanasia, released in 1994, continued the bandās dominance of metal and emergence in rockās mainstream, with the latter albumās āĆ Tout le Mondeā being a rare thrash ballad. After a brief breakup in the early 2000s, Megadeth returned as a de facto Mustaine solo project with 2004ās The System Has Failed. Ellefson rejoined in 2011 on the album TH1RT3EN and has remained in the Megadeth lineup since. The Mustaine/Ellefson duo is as crucial to thrash as Jagger/Richards is to rock, with Megadethās frenzied, paranoid version of the subgenre forming a substantial part of its foundation.
