Musicians

Of all the characters in 3WSR that were created outside of the Thomas universe - or are real-life people/engines - non perhaps are as popular as the musicians. Here we take a look at those who have made appearances in The Game!
Megadeth Megadeth is an American thrash metal band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1983 by ex-Metallica guitarist Dave Mustaine and bassist David Ellefson. The band has had many lineup changes over the years, the most popular being Dave Mustaine on guitar and vocals, David Ellefson on bass, Marty Friedman on guitar, and Nick Menza on drums. 
Megadeth is one of the 'Big 4' of thrash metal bands. They are some of the most popular and influential bands in the thrash metal subgenre, and metal overall, with such albums as Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?, Rust In Peace, and Countdown To Extinction being highly regarded by metal fans worldwide. Their mascot, Vic Rattlehead, is also one of the most popular metal mascots, as well.
Megadeth has appeared in The Game more often than any other artist. The first time was during the World Steam Tour, in which the steam engines of Sodor went on a world tour. The Numbered Diesels decided to do one, too, but somehow found their way to Dayton, Ohio, and inside the infamous Hangar 18! Megadeth was there as well, and the diesels and the band were captured by the government. It is unknown how they escaped.
Megadeth appeared again during the Steam Festival, where they - along with Ozzy Osbourne and Metallica - were hired to play during the Festival. Due to it being a train festival, they played "Train of Consequences".

Ozzy Osbourne Ozzy Osbourne, born on December 3, 1948, is an English singer, songwriter, and television personality. Gaining popularity with the band Black Sabbath, which is oft considered the most influential metal band of all time due to being one of the first of the genre, Ozzy Osbourne has also had a tremendously successful solo career.
He has played with many guitarists over the years, most notably Randy Rhoads, who played on Ozzy's first two albums, Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman, before his untimely death, and Zakk Wylde, who was his fourth guitarist, and played on eight of the albums, most notably No More Tears. Ozzy has also performed with other artists, such as Lita Ford with the duet "Close My Eyes Forever".

Metallica Metallica is an American metal band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1981 by guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich. Guitarist Dave Mustaine and Ron McGovney later joined the band, before McGovney left due to growing tensions, and Dave Mustaine was eventually kicked out over behavior issues and drug/alcohol problems. The band then recruited guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Cliff Burton, who died in 1986. He was replaced by Jason Newstead, who was later replaced by Robert Trujillo. 
Metallica is one of the 'Big 4' of thrash metal bands, and are some of the most popular artists in all of metal. Their first three albums are still considered some of the best metal albums of all time.

Slayer 
Slayer is an American thrash metal band formed in Huntington Park, California, in 1981 by guitarists Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King, with bassist Tom Araya and drummer Dave Lombardo joining later. Despite having extremely controversial lyrics and having very little airplay on radio, Slayer has become a hugely influential metal band, and is one of the 'Big 4'. Their album Reign In Blood thrust them into the spotlight, and was the heaviest record at the time. 
Slayer appeared once in The Game, during the Steam Festival. Basically, there was a new worker in the soundbooth, and his coworkers played a trick on him. Unfortunately, he turned out to be Kerry King, who (along with the rest of the band) played their hugely successful song "Raining Blood", which made everyone else's ears bleed. This was one of the more confusing moments of 3WSR.	Slayer

Iron MaidenIron Maiden is a British heavy metal band founded in Leyton, East London, in 1975 by bassist Steve Harris, and featuring vocalist Bruce Dickinson, guitarists Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, and Janick Gers, and drummer Nikko McBrain. They were mentioned in 3WSR when Tug mentioned that Metalicana was the 'Alexander the Great' of 3WSR (though Toz disputed that claim), and Mirror asked who Alexander the Great was, prompting Diesel 11 to start singing the Iron Maiden song "Alexander the Great".
