Megadeth is one of the main influence on Thrash Metal, I guess Dave's too good to be in the hall of fame.

They won't be inducted, coz they don't rock'n'roll, they metal up yer ass.
And, this RARHOF, is run by a bunch of pussy.

So, dear Megadeth, leave dis hall and fame thing, coz, Dave and his boys don't do music for others or fame, they do it us (fans) and themselves, and that is the greatest fame i believe (fans luv/support).

To the true Thrasher...]V[EGADE]-[...

Megadeth has about a 70% chance of making the RRHOF. Metallica's RRHOF induction should open the door to Megadeth & other thrash metal acts.

Mustaine's early years with Metallica should be beneficial as many metal fans & rock voters know the history.

I saw earlier post about Mustaine as a musical genius.Agree on Mustaine's greatness & musical prowess. He's a real talent.

The songs that I enjoy:Peace Sells,Anarchy,Hangar 18,Devil's Island & my personal FAV.Symphony of Destruction.

As the bands get inducted,Megadeth will rise to the top of the list of candidates. These guys played music loud & proud without selling their souls. Kudos Megadeth!!! KING

They talk about musical excellence as a criteria then Megadeth has to be inducted. Influenced many metal bands who arrived later. Say Mustaine had a voice like Bono or Natalie Merchant. Megadeth would be definitely be elected. Peace Sells...was an excellent album. I like Symphony of Destruction too. KING

Should the band be inducted in the future, I expect only these members to be enshrined:

1. Dave Mustaine - vocals, guitars
2. Dave Ellefson - bass
3. Marty Friedman - guitars
4. Nick Menza - drums
5. Chris Poland - guitars
6. Gar Samuelson - drums

Though never as consistent or as popular as Metallica, Megadeth still made some of the greatest albums of all time (especially "Rust in Peace"). They deserve the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame, without a doubt!

Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine Diagnosed With Throat Cancer
“I’m working closely with my doctors, and we’ve mapped out a treatment plan which they feel has a 90% success rate,” heavy metal great writes

Megadeth is part of the Big 4 of Thrash Metal, of course, they should get in. They were commercially successful and were very influential. The fact that Dave Mustaine has also gone through a lot of hardship, such as losing feeling in his arm, yet still coming back and doing his thing is good enough in my opinion.

Posted by Andrew on Tuesday, 08/20/2019 @ 16:43pm

Yeah, most definitely a travesty. Dave wrote most of the good licks on Kill them all for Metallica. And Marty one of the best soloists ever to walk the earth. The whole band just pure talent. Dave has the right to be insulted. Metallica didnt even include him in there induction to the hall of fame. Dave Mathews, give me a break! Real musicians please! I'm a guitar player, and my favorite tabs to learn are Megadeth licks! Much love and support from real music talent fans to Megadeth!!!!!

Their best sound, IMO--that's good to hear.

Posted by Ray on Thursday, 09/17/2020 @ 09:16am

I think that after Priest, Ozzy and Maiden get in, Megadeth should be next. Just have to wait for the Hall to start accepting metal.

Posted by Henry on Thursday, 03/10/2022 @ 11:42am

Megadeth is in a neglected genre. They are among the very best of that genre and I'm betting that more people know who Megadeth is than Randy Newman. The dude that sang "Short People" is in the HOF and Megadeth is not. Let that sink in. Even more absurd is Iron Maiden is not in either.

Posted by Chuck Montgomery on Wednesday, 04/20/2022 @ 12:07pm

Run DMC were inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame before bands like Rush, Judas Priest, and Megadeth, so I don't think Dave Mustain really care. But Megadeth has been significantly impactful to not just metal but music as a whole, and though never truly getting the recognition they deserve, Megadeth deserves to be honored for their substantial importance.

Megadeth's not just one of the big 4 but hands down, leagues above any thrash band, in terms of technical execution, writing, and musical innovation. Dave Mustain had to created a new technique, "Spider Cords" to achieve the sound he wanted, that's amazing all by itself when you consider all the great before him. (Hendrix, Vai, Rhodes, Richards )

No album has embodied the spirit of "Thrash" like " Rust in Peace", they captured more notes in that album than many bands have in their entire career. The importance of "Rust in Piece", Youthanasia", and "Countdown to Extinction" in terms of fighting political injustices are what "Metal" is at it's very core. "Countdown" won an Emmy because it was recognized for it's significance. There is absolutely no reason this is still a subject.

Strange Megadeth still waiting for a nomination. I say strange because Metallica was inducted over a decade earlier. Dave Mustaine has lived long enough and earned the respect of a music legend. I remember first buying the Peace Sells Who's Buying cassette as a young KING in the middle 1980's. It was on the cassettes back then. Peace Sells really stood out as a great album. Peace Sells is a Classic song. Wake Up Dead stands out. Devil's Island another one. I would say a Classic album. Megadeth have just crafted excellent albums for over 35 years. It's great technical guitar playing and intelligent songs. Mustaine must be highly intelligent. Songs like Foreclosure Of A Dream and Train Of Consequences are not just thrown together. The songs and videos are intelligent and well-thought out. Megadeth is rising as 1 of the biggest snubs out there. Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Motley Crue, Motorhead, Ozzy Solo, Queensryche, Scorpions etc. You probably could have a mostly Metal RRHOF ballot and nobody would blink. That shows the high quality of the hard rock and metal bands still waiting induction.

The RRHOF is just organized by some uncultured swines. Hell, Megadeth is a staple to music in general.

Rest in Peace Lee Rauch, Megadeth's original drummer, 1964-2023.

Posted by Joe S. on Wednesday, 06/28/2023 @ 01:40am

Megadeth and Rush don't need the validation of an organization like HOF ( they are like a Ken doll with no working parts especially a brain). When they do get in I hope Dave does something like Alex Lifeson did…blah blah blah will be hard to top though
