This video left out tons and tons of information especially compared to the Judas Priest evolution video. Here is a lot more info that you should have included: -Kerry King wasn't really ever in Megadeth, he played a few shows when the band was first forming but decided not to join the band because he liked being in Slayer better. He also really disliked Dave and couldn't see them working together. -Chris Poland and Dave were constantly butting heads which led to him not playing on The Killing is My Business Tour, a guitarist named Mike Albert played on that tour but Poland came back right after and recorded the next album and did the Peace Sells tour. Albert played way more shows than Kerry King, so neither of them should have been included in this video. -Chuck Behler was Gar's tech, and Nick Menza was Chuck's tech. There are videos on youtube from 1988 of Nick Menza on stage working on Chuck's drums. -Mustaine hired some other guy to replace Chris Poland but the only reason he hired him was because he was a drug dealer, when Mustaine realized he wasn't a good guitar player he decided to hire the guys teacher, who was Jeff Young, because he needed to hire someone quick for an upcoming tour. Mustaine never really liked Jeff Young and fired him after only a year. Mustaine said it was because Young was trying to hook up with his fiance but Young vehemently denies that and says Mustaine is a compulsive liar. -Dimebag refused to join the band unless his brother Vinnie Paul was hired to join as well, but Mustaine had already hired Menza so he didn't hire Dime. Eventually Marty was hired to replace Jeff Young (I think we can all agree that turned out pretty well). -Nick Menza was replaced with Jimmy Degrasso at first as a temporary replacement because Menza told Mustaine he had a tumor on his knee. Mustaine ended up liking working with Degrasso better and didn't invite Nick back into the band (Dave said Nick lied about having cancer, Nick said Mustaine just didn't want him back in the band. He said-she said situation). -Dave also didn't care for Al Pitrelli and when he re-formed the band after his injury didn't even think about hiring back Pitrelli or Degrasso, he wanted to hire Nick and Marty. He actually did hire Nick but after working with him for a few days fired him right before the first tour, and he could never come to terms with Marty. The reason Shawn Drover was hired was because Nick needed a drum tech so they called Glen Drover's brother Shawn to be his tech and Nick got pissed and cussed at him on the phone, so Dave fired Nick and with his back up against the wall decided to hire Shawn (similar to Jeff Young situation, right place at right time). However unlike Jeff, Dave actually got along with Shawn (probably because of his passive personality), so Shawn stayed in the band for a long time. -The System Has Failed was intended to be a solo album but he still owed the record company another Megadeth release. He recorded the album entirely with studio musicians he hired just for that record, Macdonough and Drover didn't play on the record. Oddly enough one of the hired guns for that record was Chris Poland. When he made the record he decided to bring Megadeth back and hired Macdonough and the Drovers after the record was released. -After Broderick and Drover left Mustaine once again got very close to hiring Marty and Nick back into the band. After a highly publicized audition it looked like Nick was back in the band, but then he got real pissed off with the contract offer and publicly stated Mustaine offered him a raw deal and he wasn't going to rejoiin. Its also generally understood that Marty wanted more $ and control and they couldn't come to terms either. Mustaine then decided to try and get Chris Adler and another guitarist. -Chris Adler never officially joined the band, he helped Dave with Dystopia and was a session musician on the record. Dave convinced him to tour with them after the record was released (hence why they toured with Lamb of God around that time, so Chris could do both) and Dave made an offer to join the band full time but Chris turned it down. He always maintained the fact that he was LOG's drummer and just a temporary fill in for Megadeth, though Dave used him in all the promotional materials around that time. Chris actually suggested Dirk as his replacement and after a trial period of a few shows Dave made the offer for Dirk to be Megadeth's real new drummer.

Chuck was fired for fucking around with Dave's girl and Jeff left because he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Nick was the drummer in Warrior and I've never heard of him being Chuck's tech. Marty was hired because Jeff Loomis recommended him. Dave wanted Jeff but he was still just a teenager. That's how Broderick got the job as well.

@@Powermad-bu4em And Jeff was fired for "fucking around with Dave's girl," not Chuck. Dave says this in Megadeth's behind the music and in his autobiography. Although Jeff Young maintains he never did anything like that and Dave was just a drugged out asshole. You are correct about Loomis being too young Dave said that in his autobiography, and he was surprised Marty wanted to play in Megadeth because of his appearance (he had dyed orange hair, which Dave found odd for someone that wanted to play in a band like Megadeth). Dave actually made Marty dye his hair back to being fully black as a condition of joining the band. When Marty was interviewed about this decades later he gave a really weird answer about being poor which is why he had orange hair, not because he thought it looked good (makes no sense, but that's what he said lol). You are also correct about Drover suggesting Broderick as his replacement, I think Drover quit because he was just "over" it and wanted time off.

The loss of Marty was probably Mustaine's biggest mistake. I get that Marty didn't want to do metal exclusively and wanted to explore other styles. I think Megadeth would've benefitted by keeping Friedman. Incorporating traditional Enka style of sad songs would make for an interesting twist on metal. In summary; I don't think the Megadeth I fell for as an adolescent can be my Megadeth without both Freidman & Mustaine.

This is actually a misconception. I'm a huge fan of Dave and Marty individually as well. It was Dave who wanted to push into more commercial hard rock and started bringing in softer tracks. This trend continued after Risk for a couple of albums. People seem to forget this. Marty wanted to go back to heavier stuff, Dave wanted to chase Metallica and commercial success. I still love Megadeth to this day and Dave proves that he is the last nail that transforms the Ship of Theseus into the titanic. Everything can and has been replaced without detriment. He is Megadeth.

Megadeth finally won a Grammy with Dystopia, have to think Kiko is one of the best Megadeth guitarists.

They were lucky because there was no real competition back in 2016. If Kiko was in Megadeth in the 90s, they would've been nominated at all. Just a mediocre metal band. With Marty they were nominated despite the fact that they were up against the biggest and most influential metal bands of the 90s. Metallica for example, were at their prime and at the height of their success and popularity ...and they used to win most Grammy awards in the metal category.
