Watch Pro-Shot Video of Late Megadeth Drummer Nick Menza playing ‘Holy Wars’
Thrash metal legend Nick Menza passed away in 2016. Nick was best known for his work on classic Megadeth line-up from 1989 -1998. Now previously unreleased pro-shot drum cam video has surfaced of Nick performing Megadeth hit ‘Holy Wars’, in HD. The pro video, four-camera-angle mix, was filmed in March 2014 at Uberbeatz Studios in Seattle, Washington.

Many future projects celebrating Menza are in the works. His book Megalife: The Autobiography Of Nick Menza by J. Marshall Craig was released in December via Post Hill Press.Continue reading
