The god of thrash. Personally my all-time guitarist. Unlike little teenybopper bands around now like Green
Day and My Chemical Romance, Dave Mustaine'
s band, Megadeth, plays a little thing called music. He was kicked out of
Metallica after writing a large portion of their better music (a lot of stuff off
Kill 'Em All and Ride the Lightning) but never received credit.
Metallica is an awesome band as well, but in my eyes Megadeth
will always be superior. Dave Mustaine is known for being one of, if not THE, best rhythm guitarists of all time. He can write symphonies of complex low-end riffing and put in screaming melodies and incredible lead breaks in the same 10 seconds. His playing abilities are also OFF THE CHARTS as compared to other rhythm guitarists. I myself would give a kidney, leg, and maybe an eye just to have his right hand.
Did you go to that Megadeth concert last
night? Dave Mustaine's hands were
FLYING when he was playing that 3rd
solo in Hangar 18!
