Megadeth was formed in late 1983 when Dave Mustaine (formerly of Metallica)
threw a potted plant through the window of David Ellefson's apartment
because Ellefson was practicing his bass too loud. When the band was
formed Dijion Carruthers was their drummer and Greg Handevidt on
guitars. They quickly replaced Carruthers with drummer Lee Rausch,
recorded a demo and secured a few gigs in the San Francisco Bay area in
February, 1984. Handevidt was fired for incompetence (he later formed Kublai Khan) They quickly found second guitarist Kerry King (Slayer), who played Megadeth's first three gigs: February 15th, 18th, and 19th, of 1984.
The band name was selected from a term referring to a million
casualties, as a result of Nuclear Fallout. It was coined in 1953 by
RAND military strategist Herman Kahn. The extra "a" was dropped by the
band. The name Fallen Angel was considered, as it was the name of a
short-lived Dave Mustaine/Matt Kisselstein (bass) project in 1983.
King left later that month when Mustaine wanted him to choose between Megadeth and Slayer.
Then, Chris Poland was brought in, and more gigs were played, starting
on April 15th, 1984. A demo was recorded with this lineup, and then Lee
Rausch left (he would later that year show up in Dark Angel), and was replaced by Gar Samuelson. This lineup recorded the first two albums.
There were troubles with Chris Poland. He was replaced with Mike Albert
for part of the 1985 tour, and was finally fired in 1987, for stealing
Mustaine's guitars and other transgressions (read the lyrics to "Liar"
for a somewhat biased but not entirely untrue account), and Gar
Samuelson left as well (his parting wasn't entirely amicable either).
Chuck Behler came in immediately, and several guitarists were tried out,
including Jay Reynolds of Malice,
who played a few gigs on the 1987 tour, before giving way to Jeff
Young. This lineup recorded So Far, So Good... So What, but after a
subsequent tour, both Young and Behler were fired.
