The 10-minute episode is hosted by <strong>EXODUS<\/strong> frontman <strong>Steve &#8220;Zetro&#8221; Souza<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>&#8220;Behind The Scenes With Nick Menza&#8221;<\/strong> consists of clips from <strong>Menza<\/strong>&#8216;s personal and private collection VHS tapes that includes previously unreleased live concert footage of <strong>PANTERA<\/strong> and <strong>STONE TEMPLE PILOTS<\/strong> the drummer captured during 1992 and 1993 when <strong>PANTERA<\/strong> and <strong>STONE TEMPLE PILOTS<\/strong> opened for <strong>MEGADETH<\/strong> on the <strong>&#8220;Countdown To Extinction&#8221;<\/strong> tour.

The highlight of his career, <strong>Nick<\/strong> said, was playing <strong>Rock In Rio<\/strong> before more than 100,000 people. The lowest point was being fired by <strong>MEGADETH<\/strong> mainman <strong>Dave Mustaine<\/strong> while he was still in a hospital bed after surgery to remove what doctors feared was a cancerous growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first of three episodes of the revamped 2020 &#8220;Menza Mega Video Vault&#8221; featuring the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-80392","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80392","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=80392"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80392\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":80393,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80392\/revisions\/80393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=80392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=80392"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=80392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
