Best Megadeth Band Members
Megadeth has gone through a lot of line ups. What is your favourite former or current member of the band?It seems so obvious that I almost did not vote for him, but he's DAVE. I mean, megadeth without mustaine is a horrible thought that can only be achieved with this band member. It's nice that he has a solid lineup again. With Dave, we can look forward to albums for years to come. Much less with metallica. They should just make one more album then quit forever.
Dave Mustaine. Where to begin. All can say is: you are a GOD. I worship you Dave! You are my idol and you inspire me to play guitar. Love Megadeth, Love Dave!
Of course we need Dave! He IS the band! Him Marty, Dave and Nick in Rust In Peace was the best lineup that Megadeth will ever achieve.
when he was fired out from Metallica, he thought "I just want to be better than them!"
I think he achieved it!
Kinda stupid list considering that it is mustaine's band, but hiring Marty was certainly the best decision Dave made, I don't think I need to explain why. Listen to his solos on Rust in Peace; without Marty, it would not be the same...
Marty Friedman was the best guitarist Megadeth ever had (and yes that includes Dave too). I also love the fact that the top 4 members of the band are from the best lineup they ever had! Mustaine, Friedman, Junior and Menza!
Broderick is technically a better player, but Friedman is creatively better-quality over quantity any day...
He's the best guitarist and really made Megadeth's music alive and set them apart from everyone else!
This guy is awesome! This list is good, next to Dave Mustaine and Marty, he is the best
He's stable, decent musician, and survived the hurricane of DAVE MUSTAINE!
Great bass player and great backing vocalist
Great bassist! He's really funny and cool too!
Nick knows when to lay back and do "AC/dc" style, but can hit double bass when it's called for. "skin o' my teeth" is an example of the perfect drum beat for the song, and still killing it. Listen close to his kick drum during the verse. Tight hi-hats while he's putting in 1/16 notes with one pedal. Remember there was no triggers back then, so what you hear is him actually playing. Nick you're the man!
Only drummer that matters. Listen to the fills in 'family tree' off of youthanasia or anything else for that matter. Also cam up with many song and album ideas.
Nick menza is the best and most famous drummer megadeth has ever had. it was his tenure that made the band popular.
One of my favourite drummers. And as a straight dude, he's pretty hot
Does anybody remember what he did on peace sells? apparently not because he is an absolute legend
Chris Poland > Chris Broderick
Best megadeth drummer period... Saw him twice on the peace sells tour at the agora ballroom in west Hartford ct unbelievable
The best Megadeth's drummer.
Oh please, listen to the solo of cold sweat, would friedman be able to do that? Look friedman and broderick up on YouTube betcha can't play this and you'll see how talented broderick is
Watch his 'betcha can't do this' video on YouTube, I seriously doubt anyone but him can do it! Astonishing double handed sweep picking
Cold sweat is a thin lizzy song. Listen to oriinal john sykes solo 1000 times better. So is not a Broderick solo
Kiko is the best guitar player ever.
I think this is the best band member :)
With no doubt, he is the only one that never change his style and fans are never disappointed with him
Lol, this is their fictional mascot so why is he even on the list? He's not even real!
Deserves top 5 alongside mustaine & friedman...
Menza was great and so was Shawn Drover. But Jimmy is the best Megadeth drummer ever. She wolf, Trust, Dread and the Fugitive mind! A legend
Incredible drummer. See his live performance on Rude Awakening and drum solo on She-Wolf
Surprised that I didn't see him on this list. His solos on So Far, So Good... So What blew my mind when I first heard them. Had a very limited time to shine but he is an amazing guitarist. Easily my favorite Megadeth alumni.
He is an amazing drummer
Really underrated guitarist plays some good solos such as the one in dread and the fugitive mind
Obviously one of the greatest guitarist. His work with Mustaine is is just an epic. Great contribution in album United Abominations. The best example of solo is The Washington is Next. With the lot of power shredding just an awesome Masterpiece.
