Nick was the drummer in the best era of Megadeth god damn can rock stars stop dying this year? Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

This is so sad. I totally remember him from his Rust in peace days. What a shocking and sad way to go. RIP! | |

That's exactly what I was thinking. The era of Megadeth he was part of was the band's best era in my opinion. Sad news. RIP Nick Menza.
So he basically died right there on stage? That's terrible. I don't mean to sound sick, but is there video of this though? | |

So tired of this year killing off great musicians. 2016 has done in more legends that Jason Voorhees has horny campers! Do not hurry yourself in your spirit to become offended, for the taking of offense is what rests in the bosom of the stupid ones. (Ecclesiastes 7:9) | |
