Dave Mustaine is one of metal’s great characters, and Megadeth - the self-described “state-of-the-art speed metal band” he formed in 1983 after being brutally dismissed from Metallica just days before they began recording songs he co-wrote for their debut album Kill ’Em All - are one of the greatest to ever play it.
Consequently, there was a great outpouring of love and respect across the rock world when, in August last year, Mustaine announced that Megadeth’s seventeenth studio album would be their last, and the world tour promoting it the band’s final curtain.
