Hate to say it but a lot of that is also do to having Marty in the band. When you get a guy that can play incredible lead breaks and solos around your music, it all comes together. The slingers he has had since are amazing players but none have given me the same feeling Marty did. You can sing his solos vs the other guys who just flat out rip. Awesome to listen to but I am not singing any of their solos back in my head like i would do for Marty's stuff. He's a special player.
Oh no doubt about that at all. His ability is what got me into them, before him they were just another Thrash band, at least to me. Marty was an influence in terms of his phrasing and I even use his Maxon Ibanez Auto Wah trick as well from time to time.
Mustaine also elevated the songwriting as well. Didn't hurt that they had Menza as well who was a world class drummer.
I shit you not I have literally been humming this song, along with the fills and solos, ever since you posted this - and I didn't even listen to it. It has been months

I just seen Megadeth last year and Dave was pretty fookin surly at my show......................... He got so pissy with the crowd he cut the encore short.............
Surly or not it was still a good show IMHO........
