I'm jealous too! But I only got into Megadeth a few years ago! Now I have
most of their albums. Can't believe I overlooked them for so long. It took me
a few decades to realise I actually DO like thrash metal.
Dave Mustaine had throat cancer at the end of the 2010s, I suppose that will
play havoc with your voice. From what I've heard, his voice, at least on the
albums has improved a little since then.
