Megadeth Quiz: Guess the Song & Test Your Trivia

Speed and an old grudge power a Megadeth quiz, since Dave Mustaine built the band in 1983 right after Metallica fired him. Guess the Megadeth song from 'Symphony of Destruction', 'Peace Sells' and 'Sweating Bullets', then test your trivia on the technical thrash of 'Rust in Peace' and the Big Four rivalry. Tell 1990's 'Rust in Peace' from 1992's 'Countdown to Extinction', catch the French-sung chorus of 'À Tout le Monde', and find out how well you know the band Mustaine has fronted since 1983.

Dave Mustaine founded Megadeth in 1983 shortly after Metallica fired him as their lead guitarist; he has fronted every active incarnation since, disbanding the group in 2002 before reforming it in 2004.
Megadeth are counted among thrash metal's 'Big Four' alongside Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax.
The 1990 album 'Rust in Peace' is widely regarded as a technical thrash landmark and opens with 'Holy Wars... The Punishment Due'.
'À Tout le Monde' (1994) sings much of its chorus in French, unusual for a band known for fast, aggressive thrash.
'Symphony of Destruction' and 'Sweating Bullets' both come from 1992's 'Countdown to Extinction', one of the band's highest-charting US albums.

The thrash singles that carry the set (easy points)

'Symphony of Destruction', 'Peace Sells' and 'Sweating Bullets' are the ones most players name fast. They pair a sharp riff with a clear hook, so casual fans bank points before the longer, faster tracks land.

The Mustaine and Metallica origin story

Dave Mustaine formed Megadeth in 1983 right after Metallica fired him, and the rivalry shadows the catalogue. A trivia round often asks who founded which band and when, so the shared history is worth knowing cold.

The technical Rust in Peace tracks (where superfans pull ahead)

'Holy Wars... The Punishment Due' and the rest of 1990's 'Rust in Peace' pile on tempo changes and long solos. Naming a track from a mid-song passage rather than the intro is where the deeper fans move ahead.

The odd ones out

Not every Megadeth song is a full sprint. 'À Tout le Monde' slows down and sings much of its chorus in French, and 'Sweating Bullets' plays a character out loud. A guess-the-track round uses these to catch players expecting pure speed.
