Megadeth is an American thrash metal band that has been active since 1984. The band, along with Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax make up the Big 4 of Thrash. Following Dave Mustaine’s departure from Metallica, Megadeth was formed with the aim of being the fastest and baddest band on earth. Today Megadeth is Dave Mustaine on vocals and guitar, Chris Broderick on guitar, Dave Ellefson on bass, and Shawn Drover on drums.
