Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei whitianga - I te raumati o te tau 1998, i te wa e haereere tonu ana te roopu ki te tautoko i te "Cryptic Writings", kei te raru a Menza i te turi ka rapu tohutohu hauora. I whakamōhiotia ki a ia he pukupuku, i kitea i muri mai he pai, a ka tangohia. Hei utu mo te whakakore i nga ra katoa, i utua e Megadeth a Jimmy DeGrasso hei whakakapi mo te wa poto. I te wa i tae mai ai te wa ki te tuhi i tetahi pukaemi whai muri, kaore a Menza i tonoa kia hoki mai, a ko DeGrasso te kaiwhakaari o te roopu. I kii a Menza i roto i etahi uiui, i a ia e ora ana i te hohipera mai i te pokanga turi, i waea mai ia ki a Mustaine e kii ana "Kaore o ratonga e hiahiatia ana". Whai muri i tana wehenga, ka tiimata tana mahi i runga i te "Menza: Life After Deth" me te kaitito kita a Anthony Gallo, te kaiwaiata bass a Jason Levin, me te kaitito kita a Ty Longley. I te tuatahi i whakaarohia te pukaemi kia whai i te ra tuku 2002 me te haerenga ki te whai; Heoi, i te haerenga i te 2003 me te Great White kua whakahoutia, ko Longley tetahi o nga 100 i mate i te ahi o te karapu po Station
i Rhode Island, ā, kotahi tau i muri mai ka mate a Jason Levin i te ngoikoretanga o te ngakau, ka tino pouri a Menza rāua ko Gallo, ā, kāore anō kia panuitia te haerenga "Life After Deth". Ko te kaiwaiata manuhiri a Christian Nesmith, tama a The Monkees 'Michael Nesmith, i mahi i etahi arahi me Menza i utu i te kaiwhakanao a Max Norman (Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth).
