MD.45 was a side project put together by Megadeth’s guitarist/frontman Dave Mustaine ,Fear’s Lee Ving on singing duties, bassist Kelly LeMieux and former Suicidal Tendencies member Jimmy DeGrasso on drums. Dave Mustaine, fed up with Megadeth at the time, but still interested in music, wanted to create an album showcasing a different musical style than Megadeth. The name derives from Mustaine’s initials reversed MD (Dave Mustaine) and 45 assuming that VL is a Roman numeral for 45 (in fact, erroneous, as 45 is represented as XLV).
The first (and only) album released was The Craving in Japan first on May 29, 1996 and in other nations on (July 23, 1996). According to the album’s liner notes, The Creed was originally a Megadeth demo song, which is on the 2004 remastered edition of the album featuring the then line-up of Megadeth.
Almost a decade later, while Capitol Records was releasing remastered versions of Megadeth’s back catalog, Dave Mustaine chose to remaster The Craving. According to the liner notes, during the remastering process, it was realized that the vocal track and harmonica track were “missing.” Because of the prior disappointment with Lee Ving’s vocals and the alleged fact that fans wanted to hear Mustaine sing, Mustaine chose to do the vocals himself and simulate the harmonica parts on the guitar.

interestingly I tried listening to the original Lee Ving version yesterday while on the road but I couldn't quite finish it. At the moment i'm listening to the 2004 Dave Mustaine version (which i'm naturally used to) and I still love it.
