Last Thursday, the 24th, Megadeth 's Rust In Peace Marty Friedman 's audition for the band.
In the video, the guitarist plays “Wake Me Up Dead” from the 1986 album Peace Sells… but Who's Buying , alongside Dave Mustaine, David Ellefson, and Nick Menza , symbolizing the end (at least momentarily) of the search for a new guitarist, a role that was even offered to Dimebag Darrell . This lineup would be present on three more of the band's albums, and the members would remain together until 1998 when Menza left the group, followed shortly after by Marty a year later, leaving Mustaine and Ellefson once again searching for new members.
Check out the guitarist's audition and below, the original version of "Wake Me Up Dead".
