Mr Megadeth on the band’s final chapter, his love for Ozzy, finger numbness, trading mosh pits for a silver screen future…

Thrash metal founding fathers’ patchy farewell album.

If you’re looking for some ‘leather, studs and bullet belts’ classic metal, get in their firing line.

The sole founder member, who wrote many of their memorable songs, is on a ‘greatest hits’ tour.

Metallica ’s 1984 began with a gear heist and a cancelled UK tour; it ended with them being heavy metal’s Next Big Thing. Then came Master Of Puppets. This is the inside story of the making of that album and the two year whirlwind that took four “alcoholica” outcasts from the El Cerrito garage to the big time.

The German metallers gear up for their biggest ever UK show, and promise some surprises.
