		Under the simple moniker Menza, the drummer's music is "razor-sharp and aggressive" and culiminates 10 years of writing while on the road with Megadeth.
		Menza states the inspiration for Life After Deth came from his 1989 to 1998 career with Mustaine and company.
		Menza's lyrics are unapologetic and no-holds-barred, driven "by the physical and psychological need to release his emotional demons."

	MENZA - Life After Deth - METAL DREAMS REVIEW (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Nick Menza was certainly the best drummer that Megadeth ever possessed, and while I like Jimmy DeGrasso's (Menza's replacement) work in YandT, his style was not an appropriate fit for Megadeth.
		Nick released Life After Deth, his debut solo effort, early in 2002, playing all the instruments and handling lead vocals.
		Nick also makes use of a lot of samples to fill out the sound, but they come off as cheesy.

		The worst was the report of his backhanded ejection from 'deth and next to no care or concern from his former band-mates regarding the state of his leg tumor.
		Not shying away from his Megadeth past, Menza has adorned his new life with font, symbols, logos and a moniker reminiscent of his Davey days and come at us with an album featuring 13 tracks where he takes on singing, guitarring, drumming and almost everything else - wit a little help from Max Norman.
		Above all a drummer's album (despite the use of drum machines), Life After Deth is really a snap shot of the thought process of Nick Menza over the last decade and one for the fans.

		All the while, Mustaine gave Nick the impression that his job would be preserved for safe-keeping until his return, but former Alice Cooper basher Jimmy DeGrasso would soon nab the coveted spot.
		Yet Menza says that he was given "zero" notice, and was particularly put off by Mustaine's lack of emotion.
		Shooting for the album's availability on his website, http://www.menza.com, by early October, Menza is hoping that Fuel will show fans that he's an accomplished musician who can play other instruments, including the bass, guitar, and keyboards, as well as write songs.

		Nick knew that there was not a lot of time to get prepared for the tour, but he still tried to pull it off.
		Sadly, he was not prepared for the physical demands of a Megadeth show, and as all Droogies know, Megadeth is not some wimpy Top 40 band that walks on a stage and gives a half-assed show.
