Former Megadeth guitarist Kiko Loureiro has revealed that he wanted the band’s ’90s lead player, Marty Friedman, to replace him.
Loureiro joined Megadeth in 2015 and played on two of the famed thrashers’ albums: 2016’s Dystopia and 2022’s The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!. He announced he was taking a leave of absence last year to focus on time with family, then announced his formal exit in November.
