LOS ANGELES (AP) — Nick Menza, former drummer for the influential metal band Megadeth, died after collapsing on stage during a performance of his progressive jazz trio in Southern California, a family spokesman said Sunday. Members of the band Megadeth pose in New York Aug. 14, 1997. The heavy metal band’s bassist, David Ellefson, has written a how-to book about the music business: “Making Music Your Business: A Guide for Young Musicians.” From left, are Nick Menza, Marty Friedman, Ellefson and David Mustaine. (AP Photo/Jim Cooper) Menza’s latest band OHM was three songs into a semi-regular set at a Los Angeles-area club Saturday night when the drummer collapsed, J. Marshall Craig told The Associated Press. Friends and audience members rendered aid while paramedics were called. The 51-year-old died at the club of a suspected massive heart attack, Craig said. Menza was Megadeth’s longest-serving drummer, performing on five records over nine years, including 1990′s thrash metal landmark, “Rust In Peace.” Dave Mustaine, singer, guitarist and co-founder of Megadeth, said in a statement that he awoke to a text message from his son with the news. “Shocked, devastated, and saddened don’t begin to describe my feelings,” Mustaine said. “As a player, Nick had a very powerful jazzy flair, unpredictable and always entertaining, and as great a drummer as he was, the time spent with him as a person, a bandmate, and a friend was even more fun,” Mustaine’s statement said. Marty Friedman, the band’s guitarist from 1990 to 2000, wrote on Facebook that Menza was “a great and unique drummer” and “a trustworthy friend, a hilarious bandmate, as well as a very loving dad.” After leaving Megadeth in 1998, Menza pursued an interest in jazz and became an accomplished woodworker. Mustaine said he discussed Menza returning to the band several times, “but for various reasons it never came together.” Menza’s autobiography, co-written by Craig, will detail the drummer’s life in and out of music and is set for a July release. He is survived by his mother and father, the jazz saxophonist Don Menza, and two sons. — Read more stories from TheBlaze ‘Really, Hershey?’ Visitors Have Mixed Reactions After Hersheypark Announces It Will Allow Guests to Use Bathrooms According to Gender Identity See What’s Happened to Target’s Stock in the Past Month Amid Transgender Bathroom Uproar Clinton Calls Trump’s Pro-Gun Policies ‘Not Just Way Out There,’ but ‘Dangerous’ Trump Campaign Retracts Claim That It Raised $6 Million for Veterans Parents Find Horrific Injuries on 1-Year-Old Son — And They’re Stunned When They Learn Why Charges Are Being Dropped Source

If you want to train like decorated Navy SEAL Jocko Willink, stock up on steak and clear hours in your schedule each day for some intense physical training. “I eat steak primarily,” Willink told TheBlaze. “That’s pretty much what my diet consists of. Sometimes I supplement that with other steaks.” Willink has trained tirelessly for most of his life to be ready — mentally and physically — for any threat that may come his way. The combat-ready mentality served him well as an elite Navy SEAL commander, but he continues to live by it in his post-military career. A black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, the 230-pound Willink is what grown men’s nightmares are made of. This author actually learned that lesson the hard (and painful) way on Thursday. As far as his workout regimen, Willink said he doesn’t limit himself to one type of training. In addition to Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Willink said he does calisthenics, lifts weights, sprints and just works out harder than everyone else. You can see what happened when an untrained news editor stepped into the ring for a grappling match with Willink below — but be warned, it’s not pretty. — Read more stories from TheBlaze ‘Really, Hershey?’ Visitors Have Mixed Reactions After Hersheypark Announces It Will Allow Guests to Use Bathrooms According to Gender Identity Clinton Calls Trump’s Pro-Gun Policies ‘Not Just Way Out There,’ but ‘Dangerous’ See What’s Happened to Target’s Stock in the Past Month Amid Transgender Bathroom Uproar Trump Campaign Retracts Claim That It Raised $6 Million for Veterans Parents Find Horrific Injuries on 1-Year-Old Son — And They’re Stunned When They Learn Why Charges Are Being Dropped Source

Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump said Saturday Hillary Clinton shouldn’t be “surrounded” by armed guards given her pro-gun control positions. Photo by John Sommers II/Getty Images Referring to the presumptive Democratic nominee as “crooked Hillary,” Trump — as he’s become known to do — blasted out his scathing message on Twitter. Trump’s tweet echoed the message he delivered at the National Rifle Association’s annual convention in Louisville in which he called on Clinton to stop allowing her Secret Service detail to use firearms to protect her. The NRA also endorsed Trump on Friday. “Let’s see how they feel walking around without their guns and their bodyguards,” Trump said to cheering gun supporters. Clinton recently called Trump’s stance on guns “not only way out there,” but also “dangerous” to America.
