* RefittedForSequel: Many examples:
** Mustaine's songs "Jump in the Fire" and "The Mechanix" were both brought to Metallica and rewritten by them after Dave was fired from the band, whilst keeping the same riffs. Both had the lyrics completely changed, and the latter was renamed "The Four Horsemen" and slowed down. Similarly, Mustaine's song "Hangar 18" was reworked into "The Call of Ktulu" after he left the band, and riffs he wrote for another song were reused in "Leper Messiah". Megadeth would record versions of both "The Mechanix"[[note]]Renamed to simply "Mechanix"[[/note]] and "Hangar 18".
** The earliest Megadeth setlists featured "Burnt Offerings", "Blood and Honor", "Conjure Me", "Next Victim", a guitar solo named "Quicksand", in addition to an instrumental version of "Hook in Mouth". The first four songs were reworked respectively as "Set the World Afire", "Wake Up Dead", "The Conjuring" and "My Last Words". "Quicksand" was divided up into the intros to "502" and "The Skull Beneath the Skin". Lyrics were written for "Hook in Mouth" later on.
** "Evil That's Within" and "Bullprick" were both recorded during the ''Youthanasia'' sessions but left off, and were rewritten as "Sin" and "FFF" on ''Cryptic Writings'' (the remaster of which features the ''Youthanasia'' outtakes as bonus tracks). The same is true of "Vortex", but it didn't receive a significant difference in the lyrics.
** "Wanderlust" from ''Risk'' is a rearranged version of an as-yet-unreleased ''Cryptic Writings'' outtake called "Smoking Gun", something mentioned in the ''Risk'' remaster booklet.
** According to Mustaine, "Deadly Nightshade" from ''[=Th1rt3en=]'' is a completed version of an unreleased song from the ''Youthanasia'' period too.

* FollowTheLeader: ''Many'' parallels with Music/{{Metallica}}'s career. Most of the bands' albums had similarities in the execution, with Megadeth usually following Metallica's lead. (''...And Justice For All'' and ''Rust In Peace''; ''Metallica'' (The Black Album) and ''Countdown to Extinction''; even ''Load''/''Re Load'' and ''Cryptic Writings'', to an extent.) Inverted after ''St. Anger''; Metallica's ''Death Magnetic'' is a comeback in the vein of ''The System Has Failed'' (though some will say that said comeback also happened around the same time with ''Endgame'').

* CreativeDifferences: What killed the classic line-up after ''Risk''. Marty Friedman was less and less interested in metal, and was far more interested in pop music, moving to Japan and doing J-Pop almost immediately after leaving the band, while Dave Mustaine languished in creating the more commercial music he grew to intensely dislike.

* UnreliableNarrator: Dave is not very good at taking responsibility for things, so his interviews and writing are littered with this. For example, in his book he states that towards the end of his Metallica days, he crashed a U-Haul because it hit a patch of black ice. Lars and James, meanwhile, stated confidently in a 1983 interview that he crashed it because he was drunk out of his mind.
