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.
