Career

MacDonough was a member of Iced Earth from 1996 to 2004, and then again from 2001 to 2004. He recorded three full-length albums, an EP, a live album, and a single with Iced Earth. He was recruited into Megadeth in late 2004. James has been touring with Dave Mustaine and the band for almost two years, appearing with Megadeth on the first ever Gigantour festival, Mustaine's brainchild. He appears in Megadeth's music video for the song "Of Mice and Men", the Arsenal of Megadeth's DVD, and (in cartoon form) the band's cameo in a Duck Dodgers episode. Megadeth never recorded a studio album.

James wrote a note on the Megadeth forums on February 10, 2006, claiming that he was working with Megadeth. The forum post by MacDonough was titled "Hello Droogs" and included the following:

Dave Mustaine, a frontman for Megadeth, wrote in the forums the next day, saying he had nothing bad to say about James and that he wishes they remained friends.

Blabbermouth.net revealed on April 25, 2006 that James would replace Nevermore bass player Jim Sheppard as he underwent Crohn's disease therapy. James is a long-time fan and friend of the band (on his Megadeth.com profile, he said Nevermore's Enemies of Reality as one of his favorite albums) and played with them on their tour with In Flames in the mid-to-late 2006).

On the day, James would fill in for Strapping Young Lad bassist Byron Stroud, as Byron had to return to Fear Factory for European festival dates.
