The what's going on in Thrash thread

Hmmm I think I remember your band Temple Of Blood from years ago,waiting for that newer material that was held up for quite awhile is that correct?
 
I think Nick would've rejoined the band in 2004 or so if his playing had been up to snuff. I think Glen Drover basically pushed the issue to to Dave that Nick was not doing well. Is Glen a liar now too?

I think Nick had addiction issues, and ultimately is more replacable in the band than Mustaine with his own addiction issues is. Ex-Megadeth players talked about forming a new band with all ex-Megadeth folks and a new singer in 2001 or so when Mustaine dissolved the band but as we can all see that went nowhere.

I think he was arguably the best Megadeth drummer that ever will be, which is high praise indeed, but I don't think his playing was noteworthy outside of the group.

I think Dave's new book is just an excuse to have a new book, and thus a new revenue stream outside of trying to sell albums, shirts, and concert tickets. I'm sure he'd like to parlay his music success into a new venture that doesn't require him to tour as he gets older.

One incontrovertible thing you have to say about Dave: he gets kicked out of Metallica and he creates the successful and excellent band Megadeth. Other folks get kicked out of Megadeth and largely they don't do jack.
I had read back in the day that it was Mustaine who suggested to Jr that he take over the band and keep it going and then changed his mind and that is why Jr sued him. So many stories lol.
