MASTER SCORP...

IN THE MEGADETH HISTORY I FOUND THAT DAVE FORMED A BAND BEFORE THE ACTUAL MEGADETH, NAMED FALLEN ANGELS, DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS BAND, MEMBERS, SONGS, ETC...

Dave formed Fallen Angels in April of 1983, directly following his time in Metallica. The original members were vocalist Lor Caine, rhythm guitarist Robby McKinney and bassist Matt Kisselstein. Dave had no drummer at the time, and the band never played live. While in Fallen Angels, Dave wrote his first songs, “Devil’s Island” and “Megadeath”, which later appeared as “Set The World Afire". In June of '83 Dave met David ‘Junior’ Ellefson and Greg Handevidt at his West Hollywood apartment (the infamous story told in the Megadeth: Behind The Music DVD). Both joined the band, replacing Robby and Matt. Soon Lor Caine was out, Dave took over vocal duties and the band's name was changed to Megadeth.
