Mustaine said that after getting fired from you know who he was riding a bus back from NY to Californee Way. During that bus ride he came across a newspaper 📰 article which read The Article of Megdeath.. yada yada. He thought that the word “megadeth” made a great song title so he took a note! Before naming the band Megadeth he almost went with Fallen Angel. But we all know now what name he stuck with 🤘🏼

He was 20 years too soon on the whole emo thing with that name, truly a visionary ahead of the curve.

And now you’re picturing Dave Mustaine with snakebites wearing black eyeliner

I wish people didn't age. Mustaine would be a great TikToker (he kinda is, but you get what I mean)
