I'm jealous too!  But I only got into Megadeth a few years ago!  Now I have
most of their albums.  Can't believe I overlooked them for so long.  It took me
a few decades to realise I actually DO like thrash metal.

Dave Mustaine had throat cancer at the end of the2010s, I suppose that will
play havoc with your voice.  From what I've heard, his voice, at least on the
albums has improved a little since then.
