On May 21, 2016, Menza was performing with his band OHM at The Baked Potato jazz club in Studio City, Los Angeles.
Only three songs into the set, Menza collapsed onstage. He was rushed
to a hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. An autopsy later
showed the cause of death to be atherosclerotic, hypertensive-induced congestive heart failure. Menza was 51.
Moving on to session playing including styles ranging from R&B to gospel, funk and heavy metal, recording with the likes of John Fogerty, Menza caught the attention of then Megadeth drummer Chuck Behler and became his tech. When Megadeth needed a drummer in 1989, Menza was asked by Dave Mustaine
to join the band. Mustaine noted that Menza previously filled in on
drums when Behler was unable to. Menza first played live with Megadeth
on May 12, 1988, in Bradford, England. This prior experience and
personal relationship led to the invitation to join Megadeth for the
1990 recording Rust in Peace.
For the next ten years, Menza became associated with Megadeth's "classic" period and also his Greg Voelker Rack System.
This included a double-bass drum kit with the tom-toms mounted on a
lower chrome rack and all cymbal crashes mounted on a higher rack, which
was supported by two chrome bars behind the drummer. This was later
adopted by Megadeth on 2004's Blackmail the Universe tour, which featured a similar rack system.
By the summer of 1998, while the band was still touring in support of Cryptic Writings, Menza was having knee problems and sought medical advice. He was informed he had a tumor, which was later found to be benign, and had it removed. Rather than cancel any dates, Megadeth hired Jimmy DeGrasso
as a temporary replacement. When the time came to record a follow-up
album, Menza was not asked back and DeGrasso became the band's official
drummer. Menza has said in several interviews that, while in the
hospital recovering from knee surgery, he received a phone call from
Mustaine that simply said "Your services are not needed anymore".
