Where Are They Now?

Nick Menza — Megadeth

Specialty: Drums/Back-Up Vocals
Birthday: July 23
Interests: Motocross and Scuba Diving

Profile: Nick Menza is one of Megadeth’s newest members. Joining the group just prior to the recording of their latest album, Rust In Peace, Nick is a native of Hollywood and grew up around music. His dad was a famous jazz musician which gave Nick the opportunity to study with top jazz drummers, including Jeff Pocaro. Nick says he can’t decide whether he’s more against the killing of dolphins or New Kids On The Block.

Logical Response: Rust In Peace? That was a good album title. What has Nick Menza done to save Dolphins? Write a song about it? He is so against New Kids On The Block, but I don’t see how Megadeth was any better. Or the heavy metal genre. There were more joke bands with bad hair than there were hit singles by little Joey and his pals. (See Photo). Maybe Nick quit the record business to save dolphins. But I doubt it.
