Rust In Piece

Megadeth, the band whose 19-year career helped define the heavy metal genre, is disbanding due to serious injuries to founder Dave Mustaine's left arm and hand that have left him unable to play the guitar.

Bassist David Ellefson, guitarist Al Pitrelli and drummer Jimmy DeGrasso have decided not to continue without Mustaine, who formed Megadeth in 1983 after he was fired from Metallica.

Mustaine, 40, hurt his arm and hand in early January, suffering severe nerve damage. In a statement released Wednesday, Mustaine did not specify how the injury occurred, and his publicist, Chip Adams, said he did not know.

The statement said Mustaine's injury was diagnosed as a compressed radial nerve.

"My doctors tell me it will take about a year to make as complete a recovery as I can, and even then, we don't know how complete that is going to be," he said. "I am working hard with a great team of doctors and physical therapists daily, and God willing, someday I hope to play guitar again."

Mustaine said he planned to explore other aspects of the music business, and spend more time with his family. "My immediate goals now are to do what I can to make something good come out of this terrible situation," he said.

Last month, the band released its first live album, "Rude Awakening."

I've tried it.

It's pretty weak, for coffee flavored ice cream.

Phish food on the other hand....hmmmmm ...Phish Food

I had a thing for that shaggy dog, MR MUGS!

no Pablo,

my friends hang out at Zanzibar.

hey Robbae,

are you using those deadbase books to your potential, or are you still burning bunk from '86, you spun monkey

I'm visiting my older brother's family out in England, and my sister in law has a vague idea of what kind of music I like.

So she brings home 4 B and J flavor's for me:

Cherry Garcia

Phish Food

Half Baked

and this new flavor called "One Sweet Whirled" supported by the Dave Mathews band!?!?! Is that a song of there's? This flavor consists of Caramel and Coffee Ice Creams, Caramel and Marshmallow Swirls and Coffee flavored Chocolate chips. Tastes like shit, kinda like their music

oh I don't know, maybe the Air Canada Center.

there are tonns of venues to chose from!

dude I hear ya,

but I'll tell you what one of the problems is with Toronto:

the Comfort Zone!

Now don't freak out, I dig the CZone from time to time. But I think jambands have got to start testing out some other venues, because the CZone has become a bit of a drag and general deternce for many (it does kind of smell from time to time).

Great jambands often filter through there, but it really becomes difficult trying to bring together a large crew of people to the CZone when an interesting band plays there (Nero for eg was like pulling teeth trying to introduce other friends to them).

I give props to the venue for letting up and coming bands play there, but after a while, when the same band always plays there, it kind of loses its zing.

just my 2 cents

"um, shouldn't I be wearing RED?"

to those who go,

these guys do a killer Door's cover song! I won't tell you what it is, just make sure you scream out loud "PLAY SOME DOOR's MAN" and you're bound by destiny to get it!

nice site man! can't wait to share it with the fam.

some were hideous, others were alright, but that shot of the dreadlock dude eating out his headee mama, well that was just not right.

otherwise, good stuff, and keep it up (with viagra).
