In recent times there has been a definitive turn around for Megadeth. Musically it is the most superior band around, across genres. Now it is being acknowledged openly. The taboo that existed about it - "Shush! Megadeth" - seems to be lifting off, slowly. This turn around is actually the return of what was once the status quo. There was a time when Rolling Stone, CNN and other mainstream media saw Megadeth, quite correctly, as The Nobility of Metal, the intelligent music. And of course the other band which Dave Mustaine helped found as the pale-Megadeth or Megadeth For Dummies. It is happening again! First it was The Greatest Guitarist In Metal position awarded to him by JOEL McIVER in his book. Then it was the first ever Golden God Award given to Mustaine by Revolver Magazine. Then the great Dom Lawson saying "Yes, Dave Mustaine invented Thrash Metal" in his article Megadeth Are Better Than Metallica. Now all those great reviews coming Megadeth's way for ENDGAME. Lets not forget they are all saying that ENDGAME is way better than Death Magnetic.
Anyways this is a good time recall an article/document titled The History Of American Thrash written by Dan Epstein.
