![]() So after Mustaine's injury, the disbanding of Megadeth didn't seem all that unfortunate at the time it seemed overdue, some would argue. The band continued to release albums, but they weren't well received and, very sadly, one of metal's once preeminent acts became a bitter has-been. The band's key recordings date back to the speed metal era, from 1986 (the year of Peace Sells, Reign in Blood, and Master of Puppets) to 1992 (the year Megadeth, like Metallica a year earlier, made a distinct, more commercial shift, releasing Countdown to Extinction to the dismay of many longtime fans). ![]() Granted, it wasn't that big of a loss at the time, chiefly so because Megadeth had long passed its prime. When bandleader Dave Mustaine was diagnosed in early 2002 with radial neuropathy strained nerves in his left arm and hand the snarling guitar shredder was forced to disband his once groundbreaking group after nearly two decades of activity. The System Has Failed marks a return from the dead for Megadeth - and quite a glorious return, it must be said.
