Nick Menza out of Megadeth!

[Seventh Son]

from BraveWords.com

In a surprise move, the following message has been posted at the official MEGADETH website: "Nick Menza has been replaced in the lineup for the upcoming Megadeth tour. In his place will be Shawn Drover (EIDOLON). We look forward to the upcoming tour with Sean and wish Nick best of luck in his next endeavor." Shawn now joins his brother Glen (Eidolon/DIMENSION INFINITE/ex-KING DIAMOND), who was announced as Megadeth's new guitarist in September. The current Megadeth lineup is rounded off by bassist James MacDonough (ex-ICED EARTH). More news surrounding the Drover injection in Megadeth will follow.




Its a shame not to have Nick in the band again

Not too familiar with the new guy, but I really love Nick's work. Oh well. As long as they tour, I don't give a shit.

there's a rumour over at the megadeth boards saying that Glen really wanted to play with his brother and could be the reason why Nick is out.

 

[spawn]

That would have to be bullshit, its 5 days before the tour starts!

 

[Sydo]

I'm guessing either the tour rehearsals didn't sound too good, or someone (Dave/Nick) has fucked up.

Id say Nick maybe cant keep up or something, I dont know if he has played drums much since he was kicked out in 98?

 

[Winmar]

It's not really Megadeth, is it? More like Dave and Friends. Oh well, as long as they tour here...

Thats what I have been saying Winny
