And the universe just got a little quieter

Megadeth has decided to split up following Dave Mustaine's revelation that his arm injury has left him unable to play guitar.

Mustaine founded Megadeth after he was kicked out of Metallica in 1983. Despite the band's wild success, he always seemed to have this serious problem about comparing himself to Metallica, and trying to "catch them."

There is no report on how Mustaine injured his arm.

It's weird. The report says that he suffered nerve damage in his arm and hand but he wouldn't say how and his publicist really didn't seem to know. One thing I liked about Dave was his intelligence and how his music reflected that. We never got a chance to see them on tour but I feel his words and music and energy will be deeply missed.
