In October 1994, MEGADETH and their label took a chance with a new venture. To celebrate the release of the "Youthanasia" album, the pioneering band established Megadeth, Arizona.

I guess I will also celebrate the 30th anniversary of every time I've shit the bed since 1990.
Dude are you kidding me? Youthanasia is an excellent album. It's not their best, sure but it has so many highlights. Marty Friedman absolutely rips all over that album.

I think the worst part of that album is Dave's voice. I didn't need Mustaine to be a better singer. To me, the more he tried to be, the more obviously deficent his voice was.
