Now you did it, weren’t born until ’04, probably. Now you’re playing catch-up – notch out that second wave of metal classicism. Metallica, Slayer’s Kerry King, and Testament all criss-cross tours presently. You missed Dave Mustaine and crew at Stubb’s, melting down Rust in Peace. Dood. Then later inside ACL Live at the Moody Theater, Megadeth, 41, landed some “Hangar 18” hair extensions – as in electrocution. Sixteenth studio full-length The Sick, the Dying … and the Dead in 2022 screeched and sizzled in trademark fashion, nervy and serrated thrash metal as wielded by one of the genre’s formatting shredders – Mustaine, 62. Mudvayne and All That Remains first. – Raoul Hernandez
