This was quickly followed by the departure of Chris Broderick, due to artistic and musical differences.

While in rehearsal for the tour, newly returned drummer Nick Menza once again parted ways with the band, as he was unable to prepare for the physical demands of a full U.S. Megadeth began a world tour in October 2004, enlisting bassist James MacDonough and guitarist Glen Drover. Chris Poland was hired by Mustaine to contribute only with guitar solos to the new album.
While drummer Nick Menza initially signed on, Marty Friedman and David Ellefson were both unable to come to an agreement with Mustaine. Mustaine decided to reform the band, and contacted the Rust in Peace line-up to re-record backing tracks on his latest songs. In May 2004, Mustaine returned to his newest recordings, intended as a solo effort, but because of outstanding contractual obligations with the band's European label EMI, he was forced to release one more album under the "Megadeth" name. The new material was recorded with session musicians Vinnie Colaiuta and Jimmy Lee Sloas, but the project was put on hold when Mustaine agreed to remix and remaster Megadeth's eight-album back catalog with Capitol Records. Following nearly a year of recovery, Mustaine began work on what was to be his first solo album. In early 2002, Mustaine suffered several injuries, which led him to announce in a press release that Megadeth had disbanded. Megadeth enlisted guitarist Al Pitrelli as Friedman's replacement in January 2000. Three months into the tour, Friedman announced that he would be leaving the band, citing "musical differences". Following the release of Risk, the band began a new world tour in September 1999. Following the Ozzfest tour in 1998, however, DeGrasso replaced Menza permanently, after Mustaine claimed that Menza had "lied about having cancer". He was replaced by Jimmy DeGrasso, temporarily at first. The lineup remained unchanged for almost eight years, until Menza discovered a tumor on his knee, which forced him to leave the tour to undergo surgery. After a lengthy search for a new lead guitarist, Megadeth enlisted Marty Friedman, who officially joined in February 1990. In July 1989, Nick Menza was hired to replace Behler on the drums. Six months later, Mustaine fired both Behler and Young. in February 1988, Mustaine noticed problems developing with Behler. ĭuring their world tour in support of So Far, So Good. So What!, being replaced by Jeff Young and Chuck Behler, respectively. After years of problems stemming from substance abuse, Mustaine fired both Poland and Samuelson before recording the third album So Far, So Good. Poland then rejoined Megadeth in October of the same year, shortly before they began work on Peace Sells. and Business Is Good!, Poland left the band and was temporarily replaced by Mike Albert.
During Megadeth's 1985 tour promoting their debut album, Killing Is My Business. This lineup was short-lived and after a few shows in 1984, Lee Rausch was replaced by jazz fusion drummer Gar Samuelson, in addition to the second guitarist Chris Poland. Slayer guitarist Kerry King covered live dates while a permanent replacement was sought. The demo featured new drummer Lee Rausch. Early in 1984, Megadeth recorded Last Rites, a three-song demo.
