Does anyone in here know anything about this band Panic that Mustaine had way before he created Megadeth?

There is some footage in the video "Megadeth - Behind The Music" by VH1.

I found this following a short search on the internet (on some sort of Wikipedia clone):

The band that Dave Mustaine was in before he formed Megadeth. The band was created in 1981. It was all chance because all the members were at a place called Slymickers watching another thrash metal band named Metal Might. Lead singer of Panic Charles Gooduson was talking with Dave Mustaine about if he was in a band or not and if he wanted to form one. They had a few drinks and Charles introduced Dave to his good friend Michael Vanhortton. From then the band Panic was formed. The band came to an end when several members died in a car accident (Mustaine was not involved in it).
No recordings of this band exist outside of bootlegs, although Dave Mustaine wrote a drum beat while he was in this band that was later used in the song Rust in peace... Polaris.

So there might be a bootleg

Yeah, in an interview I read, he said that one of the Megadeth songs was actually written for Panic, I think it was Mechanix, which main riff was "stolen" by Metallica to use it in the song Four Horsemen.
