A band that started in the early 80's that possess, and probably created, several of the compulsory characteristics for playing metal. E.G. - long hair, skull paraphenalia, tight jeans (preferably ripped), at least two albums with 8 (minimum) or 9 (maximum)tracks but still under 50 minutes long.

Megadeth's RUST IN PEACE is one of the greatest metal albums ever made.

1. Measure of damage in a nuclear explosion, i.e. 1 million deaths. Spelt megadeath.

2. Metal band formed by Dave Mustaine after kicked out of Metallica. Metallica did good without him, and just as well he got kicked out, cos now we have two seriously cool bands instead of one, even if Megadeth kicks more ass than Metallica.
1. Oh shit, we're soo in trouble!

2. Megadeth soo kick ass!

a band formed by dave mustaine, a metal genius
if it wasnt for dave mustaine, you would have never heard of metallica. He WAS metallica, until james and lars kicked him out of the band and stole all of his ideas.
