51? Wtf?

RIP

He played drums on the one of the greatest metal albums ever made - RIP

 

[Odorono]

Incredible drummer, so bummed I never got to see Megadeth with the classic line up.

 

[TheLastCandle]

Just had to post this video, as it really does a good job showing Nick's badassery. Yeah, he didn't play on the album, but god damn does he own the shit out of it.

Megadeth were my first ever "favorite" band. I was lucky enough to see them in '98 during the Cryptic Writings tour when I was 13 with the RIP line-up. Talk about awestruck.

 

[Killer Queen]

Didn't Dave write a song on the latest album bagging him out too? It's called 'the emperor'. Holy Wars will always be the greatest metal song in my eyes. Hopefully Nick is rusting peacefully.

I doubt that's about Nick, or anyone of note. He didn't seem to have any issues with Nick and Ellefson was the reason the reunion fell through. Mustaine really wanted it to happen, so I doubt he'd turn around and talk shit.

First I heard Ellefson was the reason, he always seemed like a dte guy.

RIP Nick. I'll never forget that day I bought the cassette of Rust in Peace the day it released and heard it for the first time as I drove home in my car. Epic.

I'm a drummer as well never listened to this band but from that vid he was a BEAST, very awesome.

RIP

[Indelible]

RIP, way to young to go.

 

[Twin Tails]

Really sucks to hear, would have like to see him rejoin but that wasn't going to happen. Rust in Peace line-up is the best.
He was a beast.

[RoyaleDuke]

Fuck, another talented artist bites the dust.

Rest in peace, Mr.Menza, you were legendary.

 

[Mr Swine]

Horrible way for people and fans to see him die onstage

R.I.P

 

[Nudull]

Damn. Onstage, too.

RIP

Was sad to hear about this after getting back from work this afternoon. Rust In Peace is one of my favourite albums ever and featured what is easily Megadeth's best lineup.

I was lucky enough to catch the Menza/Friedman lineup during my first Megadeth show around the time they released Cryptic Writings. Good times.

On a related note, this Onion article on RIP always cracks me up.
