** Dave Mustaine had asked Eric Meyer to join Music/{{Megadeth}} several times, declining each and every time to stick with Dark Angel.

** Dave Mustaine had asked Eric Meyer to join Music/{{Megadeth}} several times, declining each and every time to stick with Dark Angel. He also hit up Durkin about joining, but the latter declined because he didn't want to give up Dark Angel (though, like Lee Altus and probably Meyer as well, Mustaine's out-of-control drug usage probably played a role in this decision).
