Why they might be annoying:

    Just look at the list of former band members.
    Dave Mustaine was kicked out of Metallica for being an asshole.
    Dave Mustaine often snarled his lips while singing.
    They abused drugs and alcohol.
    In 1993, they were kicked off Aerosmith's 'Get a Grip' tour.
    Bill Goldberg appeared in their 'Crush 'Em' video.
    They titled their 1999 album Risk because Lars Ulrich said that the reason Megadeth didn't achieve the level of success that Metallica did was because they never took any risks in their music.
    They broke up on bad terms.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They were heavily influenced by Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden.
    Dave covered the 1992 Democratic national convention for MTV News.
    Dave was man enough to open up for his former band mates Metallica (1993).
    What Lars called 'not taking risks,' metal fans called 'staying true to themselves.'
    They decided not to tone down their style of music to achieve commercial success.
