Review (in 1996):

This promotional site has a lot more personality (and a lot less headbanging hype) than you might expect. Heavy-metal band Megadeth recorded its Youthanasia album in a warehouse outside Pheonix; hence the site's title. Apparently this was a monumental event, as publicity photos were snapped by the esteemed Richard Avedon, and the publicity bio was penned by best-selling author Dean Koontz. ("These guys pass the imaginary Godzilla test... If he stepped on Megadeth, believe me, he'd know he stepped on something.")

The site is loaded with "Meganews" ("Youthanasia Banned!"), provocative images, tunes, and videos. Visitors can amuse themselvees by downloading some cool Mac wallpaper, or playing a game with cowpies.

Be sure to commemorate your visit by sending one of the site's funky digital postcards.

As reviewed in the 1996 "World Wide Web Top 1000" - a review of the Top 5% of all Web Sites in 1996.
