Megadave’s Humility?

Dave Mustaine, ringleader of Megadeth, posted a looooooonnng message on the official Megadeth forums the other day. It’s funny reading if you know his history:

“I heard a solo that Chris [Broderick, MEGADETH guitarist] sent me yesterday that is so smoking that I can’t wait until we see what he does for the whole record.

“I almost feel like not playing any solos and letting him do them all.”

Now I love Megadeth etc. etc. etc. But some things this guy says are just laughable.

First off I can assure you that, no matter how great a lead guitarist Chris Broderick is, if he handled all the solos and left Mustaine to only the rhythm work – the fans would cry. There’s something about the release of a Dave Mustaine guitar solo which feels right – especially in music as fierce as Megadeth’s.

I also know that he’d never do it. Why? Because he has an ego which can only be described as epic.

So yeah. Laughable.

Have some solos though.
