what happened to dave mustain??:confused:

i heard that recently he's been taking drugs and that that was affecting his performance. doesn't sound like the dave mustaine i know. :P

you're missing a y from the end of your name there. Y oh Y oh Y.

i heard something happened to one of his arms/hands and cant play the guitar any more

Yeah. They broke up. Their stuff form Cryptic Writings onward was... y'know... not worthy of Frinj's CD player.

I didn't know that they had broken up,
until someone started laughing at me on saturday coz
I was wearing a big huge Megadeath jacket.
(you know who you are!!! ):mad:

But, y'know,
Shit happens!
:D
Coming from a longterm fan,
I really don't think that this is as tragic as my
Pumpkins splitting up!
:(

does any one know the actually reason????

Yes it was rather disturbing!
:( :( :( :(

It's about time that they split up really...
I mean their stuff from Cryptic Writings onwards was just SHOCKING!!!
:rolleyes:

Dave is getting old,
they are all getting old.
Let's face it folks;
They've been shite ever since Menza left.

...I'm going to take a trip to their website! :D

here'goes;

DAVE MUSTAINE -- FOUNDER, VOCALIST, LEAD GUITARIST OF
METAL PIONEERS MEGADETH -- SUFFERS SERIOUS INJURY,
ANNOUNCES DEPARTURE FROM MEGADETH;
GROUP DISBANDING AFTER NEARLY 20 YEARS TOGETHER

During the first week of January, 2002, while Megadeth was on hiatus, in Texas, I suffered an injury which caused severe nerve damage to my left arm and hand. It was diagnosed as Radial Neuropathy - specifically, a "compressed radial nerve." My doctors tell me it will take about a year to make as complete a recovery as I can, and even then, we don't know how complete that is going to be. I am working hard with a great team of doctors and physical therapists daily, and God willing, someday I hope to play guitar again.

In the meantime, while I work on rebuilding my arm, I will take this opportunity to reappraise my career and my future. For the time being I have decided to exit Megadeth, and explore other areas of the music business where I might make a contribution without being able to play my instrument.

I have had a terrific time singing and playing for you while I was in Megadeth. I am truly grateful for all of the numerous Gold, Platinum, and Multi-Platinum Records I have been awarded, as well as the many International Record Awards. And I can never thank you, our fans past and present, enough for your loyalty and affection over the years.

My immediate goals now are to do what I can to make something good come out of this terrible situation. First and foremost, I want to use this opportunity to devote more time, energy and attention to my wife Pam and my two children, Justis and Electra. Pam has done a wonderful job carrying the load while I was a long-distance husband and father in the studio or criss-crossing the world on tour, but in terms of being a Gold or Platinum parent, I have a long way to go, and I'm eager to get started.

In closing I would like to depart with the beautiful French words I wrote on the record 'Youthanasia': "A tout le monde, a tous mes amis, Je vous aime, Je dois partir." (To all the world, to all my friends. I love you, I have to leave)

aaaaaawwwww!!!!!
He's such a nice man! ;)

i suppose it had noting to do with the ammount of drugs he put/puts into his left hand. has to be said megadeth were pretty good. long live megadeth!!!

p.s.
dutch gold = beautiful
holsten pills = pure unadulterated EVIL !!!

Cryptic Writings was a class album, perhaps not up to the standards set with Peace Sells and Rust In Peace but nevertheless a great work.

Much better than Youthanasia which is serving a coaster at home right now.

Megadeth have done their bit for music, let them have their rest.

I for one shall break out Killing's My Business for old times sake.

Dr Rock

PS: Has anyone out there a copy of Saxons Wheels of Steel?

him..... i guess no body actually know what caused dave's hand to stop functioning
