I think it's probably difficult to overstate just how much an influence Rust in Peace had on the heavier strains of progressive metal. It's a borderline example of prog in and of itself (though if Megadeth had kept to its style they would probably have a page on the Archives as at least "Prog-Related"), but it's pretty much as technical and complex as thrash ever got. A large part of the reason it worked as well as it did was due to Menza's drumming. The man was a beast. The only other drummers in thrash I can even place in his league are Gene Hoglan and Dave Lombardo.
The fact that he died doing what he loved certainly makes his passing a bit less harsh, but still, I've had Rust in Peace cranked up to eleven and placed on repeat for a lot of the day. I suspect the rest of the week is going to follow along similar lines.

Good or bad, he died what he loved doing. What more could a person ask for? i didn't know he turned his eyes to Progressive Jazz. I'll have to look and see if they have any recorded material.

Nick Menza (Megadeth, Ohm) appears to be the latest victim of 2016. Just 51 years old.

Chris Burgess, 27, a young guitarist in a local hard rock band Heinous Pianist - not rich or famous, or known to many people outside Hampshire, but was good enough to earn support slots with Karma to Burn, Wolfsbane and Blaze Bailey. Edited by Dean - May 18 2016 at 13:42 |

This one hurts: Guy Clark, the eminently talented Texas songwriter, has passed. Nobody - not Dylan, not Neil Young, not Jackson Browne - nobody wrote songs like Guy Clark. An absolute craftsman of the highest order.

Well, crud. I really liked his rendition of Pictures At An Exhibition. Now that I think about it, that's the second keyboardist who did an arrangement of that piece to pass away this year.

Tomita was a God among men;and a true musical mind! There is no other musician who created such a complete sonic universe with a single instrument the Moog modular synthesizer. Mega respect to the master Tomita !! http://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2016/05/08/music/isao-tomita-japanese-pioneer-of-synthesizer-music-dies-at-84/#.Vy-WJshHanN http://www.factmag.com/2016/05/08/japanese-synthesizer-pioneer-isao-tomita-dead-at-84/ Ich wünscht Allne Swiss strong and tuff mommies e schönes Muettertag us sonnigs Southern California. |
