Behler was a roadie (person who helps a band with technical work) for Gar Samuelson, Megadeth's previous drummer. When Samuelson left the band, Behler started playing the drums for them instead. Behler was dismissed from Megadeth because he was addicted to cocaine.[2] He was replaced by his roadie, Nick Menza.
