5.12.2008 - MD.45?

Hey Scorpion !

Megadeth is my favorite band since I was just 3 years old, thanks to my dad a great metalhead, I'm 14 now and I'm still trying to know what's "MD.45"
....
I searched in some places one the internet, but they have different informations ! So I asked my dad what's "MD.45", he said that it was a solo band of Dave Mustaine. Can you explain me what was that ??

Thanks and congratz for the great work that you have done so far !

MD.45 was indeed a solo/side project for Dave. The album "The Craving" was released in 1996, and features Dave on guitar, Lee Ving of Fear on vocals, Kelly Lemieux of Goldfinger on bass, and future Megadeth drummer Jimmy DeGrasso. The name was a play on Dave and Lee's initials, 'MD' (Mustaine Dave) and 45, the translation of Roman numerals 'VL' or 'XVL' (Ving Lee). In 2004, "The Craving" was included in the Capitol Records remasters of Megadeth's back catalog, released with three bonus songs and Dave's re-recorded vocal tracks. The remastered version of the album is still in print and available online at Amazon.com.
