Marty Friedman and Nick Menza completed the longest uninterrupted lineup that performed between 1990 and 1998. In this time, they wrote "Countdown to Extinction" and "FFF" with Mustaine and Ellefson, leaving them with the distinction as the only two songs written by the whole band.
Brothers Shawn and Glen Drover joined the band together on drums and bass in 2004. They both wrote songs in the tenures which ended respectively in 2014 and 2008.
Current guitarist and drummer Kiko Loureiro and Dirk Verbeuren made heavy contributions to The Sick, the Dying... and the Dead!.
