Megadeth is an American thrash metal band led by founder, front man, guitarist, and songwriter Dave Mustaine . Formed in 1983 Los Angeles, California with bass player David Ellefson following Mustaine's departure from Metallica , the band has since released twelve studio albums, six live albums, two EPs, thirty singles, thirty-two music videos, and three compilations. As a pioneer of the American thrash metal movement, Megadeth rose to international fame in the 1980s, but experienced numerous line-up changes, due partly to the band's notorious substance abuse problems.
