Just got to know a bit of shocking news: Nick Menza,
former drummer of Megadeth, has died of heart failure while performing with his
band in Los Angeles. Apparently, this happened about a week ago. Megadeth is one of my favourite bands and among
all the lineup changes in the band over the years, I have always liked the Dave
Mustaine, Dave Ellefson, Marty Friedman, and Nick Menza lineup the most.
Being able to play for one of the most well-known
and influential metal bands of the world is no mean feat and the fact that he had
played on three Megadeth albums that were well regarded (Rust in Peace,
Countdown to Extinction, and Youthanasia), with one of them being one of the
greatest thrash/speed metal albums ever released (Rust in Peace), is a
testament to his skill.
The world has lost yet another musical talent. RIP, Mr Nick Menza. Thank you for the music.
