Nick Menza - The Disintegrators
Watch NICK MENZA Play MEGADETH's "The Disintegrators" Two Years Before His Death
Previously unreleased drum-cam footage of late MEGADETH drummer Nick Menza playing along to the band's classic song "The Disintegrators"
The HD video, shot in a two-camera-angle mix, was filmed in March 2014 at Uberbeatz Studios in Seattle, Washington and is believed to be some of the final studio drum recordings of Menza before he passed away more than two years later.
The footage was supposed to be used for the late drummer's first-ever instructional DVD, "Intense Mega Drumming", that was to feature 10 re-recorded classic MEGADETH drum tracks with tons of tips and tricks from Menza's arsenal to help teach anybody out there become a better player. The DVD, which was produced and directed by Kari Pearson and Menza's manager, Robert Bolger, has since been shelved.
Cryptic Writings is MEGADETH'S seventh studio album. Released on June 17, 1997, through Capitol Records. It was the band's last studio album to feature drummer Nick Menza. His departure would mark the end of the band's longest lasting lineup to date, having recorded four studio albums.
The album debuted at number 10 on the Billboard 200 and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in October 1997 for shipping 500,000 copies in the United States.
The first 500,000 copies of Cryptic Writings in the U.S. were released with silver background album cover. A remixed and remastered version, featuring four bonus tracks, was released in 2004.
Seven years after its original release, the album sold 850,000 copies in the United States and won widespread praise from rock radio programmers. The song "Trust" was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 1998 Grammy Awards and became the band's highest charting song on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks.
Late in the evening on May 21, 2016, Nick collapsed after suffering a heart attack during a concert with Chris Poland and Robertino "Pag" Pagliari in their band OHM: at The Baked Potato in Studio City, California and was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital. The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner said Menza died of hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
Nick rightfully earned his place as one of heavy metal's fiercest drummers during MEGADETH's 10-year commercial peak. The highlight of his career, Nick said, was playing Rock In Rio before more than 100,000 people. The lowest point was being fired by MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine while he was still in a hospital bed after surgery to remove what doctors feared was a cancerous growth.

    I kind of like that his drum riser/rack squeaks loudly right before each snare hit. The motion of his arm to do the snare hit must cause the specific movement in the rig to make the metal on metal friction sqeak each time.

    I saw the show in Lakeland and it was freaking insane. Slayer played second and the barricade by the stage kept breaking and falling over. In their live album that they released in the early 90s, CD1 what's the Lakeland show and you can hear Tom Talk about being careful and stuff that's because of the barricade.

    This is the best version of dave that ever existed. No hate, no revenge, respect for everyone in the band. Too bad in the end he just became what he preached not to be. How ironic. Megadeth is my favorite band thanks to this lineup and Ive met the band many times over the years but let me tell you one thing: Mustaine is a A-hole
