As a metal head, more bad news today. Former Megadeth drummer Nick Menza, died yesterday at the age of 51, most likely due to a heart attack during a performance with OHM last night in Studio City, CA.

Nick Menza passes away

Most famously Nick was the drummer for the album Rust in Peace (one of my personal favorite heavy metal albums) through the Cryptic Writings album.

RIP Nick, 51 is way too young to die.

    Sad news, by the way Rust in peace is a gem, still got one of his sticks from a 1992 concert of Megadeth. Like Mr Bungle said this is way too young.

    Not many were on his level, personally I thought his time w/ Megadeth was their best work, along with Friedman....RIP
