40 seconds of bombs, explosions, toxic waste, aliens, and Vic... cuts to a calm, soft-spoken Dave in a comfy chair. I love it.
Most aggressive vocalist in metal that I met were nicer to me and,
kinder than mine own parents , lord worm, Jacob Bannon, corpse grinder, Chris Barnes is very well spoken , Glen Benton , Matti way. I listen to them and I met them in shows they were extremely nice and kind. Even in numetal The late Wayne from static x was so nice I met him in 2010 nicest guy around and Corey Taylor was pretty funny I met him at ozzfest. Nicest people
@@nuldorvamoysenor2091 I don't think this is Dave's account that you're replying to
They should have started the clip with a close up. The man behind all of that.
Yea that intro was sik huh....
Dave Mustaine being the gentleman of metal forever
I hope Dave knows how many of us metal fans truly appreciate his work. He’s the Thrash guitarist gold standard. Gibson good work with this documentary.
Well said. The gold standard indeed.
he is metal genius
Indeed after hetfield hes my metal god
He made metallica put out load andcreload cause they couldnt compete with his tasty guutar riffs.
@@pattol666 It's funny how people make stuff up, call it gospel and just roll with it. 😆
“I thought about myself retiring because someday it’s going to inevitably come. Whether I hang my guitar up or they lower my body down.”
Such a wise badass quote from a real metal legend
Dave truly is the real deal
I can't be the only one to absolutely LOVE MetallicA and Megadeth both can I? Their split was a blessing because it gave us 2 amazing bands instead of 1. Hell yes!
U can but for me its deth O' mega all day everyday.
@@SecretAgentBeans on a non related note you also have Kai Hansen leaving Helloween and forming Gamma Ray
I love both the bands. Way I see it is that as far as left hand is concerned, Megadeth is more technical and Marty's solos are on another level of existence, however as far as right hand and downpicking is concerned Metallica is the undisputed. That's the why I think MoP is way more heavy than RIP.
Amen
Hell yes I love both bands and do not compare either megadeth is totally different music wise then Metallica both are great bands legends it’s crazy how Dave sees his life and band as second to Metallica I sure don’t rust in peace is the best trash album of all time period fuck slayer fuck any other band it cannot be touched period
For us Megadeth fans, for years the only good documentary we had on Megadeth was the Behind The Music segment. This picks up their story in far greater detail and really helps us understand both Dave and the band a lot better. Fantastic job Gibson!
I think this video really completes the Behind the Music doc. It focuses on other aspects, well of course Dave is older and has a slight different view on things now, but there's more regarding the private and human aspect of him in this video than in Behind the Music.
I love this video
Read his books. Both are great reads.
@@krymera666x7 already have. They’re awesome!
Well, you could have also read his book.
That note from Cliff is so haunting.
I thought the same thing man
maybe because he's fucking dead?
@@anemaldemomusic8182 thanks captain obvious
It’s cool to see new stuff about cliff tho
I had my phone in my pocket during that section (thought it was an ad). Went back to it just now. Fucking eerie. It's like death was stalking these guys.
When he said he never felt special before metallica, my eyes welled up in tears. It's hard losing friends
It is.
It is looking back I had a squad of 4 people during all my school years. Then once senior year came in high school everyone moved and did different things. Now I only keep in touch with one of them and its like once a month. which I assume is kinda how dave and james communicate.
not just that man he got kicked out of metallica I can only imagine how that felt to him
He is such a humble, sensible man, deep thinker with low tolerance to " idiots".
Heartbreaking. I think he’s doing well these days. I think they are a lot closer than they used to be.
Deep down they deeply respected each other’s musical output. It would have been impossible for them not to be knowing what it takes to be successful.
Nothing was handed to Mustaine. He built Megadeth from nothing. Respect.
I've been sleeping on megadeth for a long time, and I'm just now learning about Dave and the band and i'm convinced that this man is a wizard. How in the hell can he play those intricate parts, AND sing?!?! Dude's unreal, long live metal 🤘
Rust in Peace, Youthanasia, Countdown, Peace Sells, and United Abominations. You're welcome. 🤘
@@johnwilliams8130 rust in peace is the best album for sure but I'd go with so far so good so what next. Just for in my darkest hour alone. One of the top 3 megadeth songs ever.
@@TheUltimateWord yeah so far so good so what is a great record but I don't listen to Darkest Hour anymore simply because of the subject matter. Same thing goes with Fade to Black. Personal reasons. I did like the songs before they hit way too close to home though. 502 was always my favorite on that album.
Dudes got mad chops on the guitar, that's for sure.
Somehow all those crazy fast and intricate riffs don't sound sloppy at all. His pick discipline is unreal. And the madman can sing!
I wonder how long it took to train his fretwork speed. Not so much the fretboard hand, definitely the picking hand.
Mesmerizingly badass riffage.
@@TheUltimateWord hook in mouth is amazing too.
Dave's Lars impression is perfection.
He's actually doing more of a german accent.
Fock dood you know Motörhead!?
I thought he sounded kind of like Torben
@@mileschow5961 Ooh yaah, fock dood 😆
Always has been
It was nice hearing him speak so respectfully about Metallica, Hetfield in particular. I'm glad all that stuff is well and truly behind them. Here's to many more years of Megadeth!
Dude if you listen to James talk about Dave he still has resentment over Dave's talent and songwriting abilities... stop and imagine James singing on rust or countdown... and several other songs that Dave wrote. Dave is the better singer in my opinion. But damn it would be cool to hear James on some megadeth songs
He basically did it just by himself after terrible odds. I respect that.
It's because, Dave knows MEGADETH is better, faster and the music is more technical then Metallica will EVER be.
He has truly beaten them, like he set out to do after being kicked out of Metallica.
MEGADETH IS FAR BETTER THAN THOSE OTHER IDIOTS !!!!!
Dave mustaine for president 2024
@@mikeb.551 James wouldn't be able to sing to ANYTHING Megadeth has put out.
God, I'd love to watch him go down in flames trying.... 🤣🤣
Megadeth was the first band I ever got into back in early 1999. Metallica I got into second. I love both bands, but people are delusional if they think Metallica is technically superior in any way. Mustaine's songwriting alone crushes them and will continue to do so. I'm glad he's finally at peace with the whole thing compared to 20 years ago. cheers dudes.
Amazing how humble Dave has become! Dude really learned how to check his ego. Good for him. It seems like he's more at peace.
Id say the opposite since he axed Ellefson.... again!
@@NikkieRoxxx do your research before you comment anything.
@@circusbrains do you like minors?
@@uncle4996 yes they are really fun
@@bzanininetysixyo what💀
This is the best version of Dave. He's calmer and more focused, nicer, even humble. Good for him.
Never realized what a great storyteller Dave is. Great job.
well i mean, look at the lyrics he wrote. dude is SERIOUSLY underestimated
Read his book. Fucking awesome. Even the way he tells stories is great lol. My favorite metal guitarist of all time. A god of trash.
Yeah but.....Only when he is talking about Dave.
I feel like he's almost mentioned everyone except Ellefson... brutal
Yeah was waiting for him to tell the story how they met...
given how things are now, that is not a coincidence
Well, Jr just wanted to bust in peace, but now he's on the train of consequences.
I was waiting for him to mention something about Nik Menzas death, but maybe that was a bit too close to home to talk about.
@@mikekelly1771 Diferent video diferent audiance, i guess..
I didn't expect this but I was nailed to my chair eyes to the screen start to finish. Haven't happened to me for decades.
P.s. For me Dave is the best metal rhythm guitarist ever. There is no other guitarist able to play such complicated riffs while singing. Not even James.
Honestly I felt the same way until I saw videos of David DiSanto playing in Vektor. Very complex and fast riffs whilst singing.
@@henrywalton5967 Heard 3 live songs out of curiosity. No. No complexity while he is singing. Also not actually singing like Mustaine does (or at least tries to). Mustaine sings on top of complex time signatures without his voice just following/flowing with the guitar but keeping its own time signature or pace. Its very very hard to make your brain work with 2 different time signatures at the same time especially when you add technical complexity to the mix. Not impossible of course, there are street musicians who can play 3 instruments at the same time. But it is very rare.
DiSanto plays basic fast riffs (actually easier to sing along) and follows the guitar pace with his voice.
Similar to what Mille Petrozza of Kreator does... but even then Petrozza plays some more complex riffs while he sings.
No. No-one (in metal) is even close to the level of Mustaine.
james is the down picking god though so at least give him that plus his grungy vocals
He plays lead. So do the other guitarists ( Chris Marty, Jeff etc). There is no rhythm guitarist they trade back and forth constantly.
@@granthooper2329 I know that. I just said what he is best at. The best at metal rhythm guitar. I still love his solos but there is none like him at rhythm guitar.
"I think that rythm and blues helped me to remember what music is all about" ...thats a massive honor to Motown. Dave is the King allways.
Dave is the definition of persistence. Everything this guy has been through, both self inflicted and happenstance, he could have at any time and no one could have blamed him. He kept going, and whether you like Him or hate him, you have to respect him. He's been the bad guy when he needs to be and the good guy when he needs to be. He's not just a metal legend. He's an inspiration as a person.
Most accurate comment about Dave.
Give it a rest
100 percent you gotta admire him
Well said!!!
stubborn blind ignorant persistence. and eternally immature
That intro animation is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time. Awesome stuff! I will forever be impressed with Dave's ability to not only shred, but write the songs and sing while playing insane rhythm parts too. What a talent.
Reminds me of all nightmare long video
Lol
Yea. Gibson is just buying all their street cred
Yeah, he is a hell of a rhythm player, although he is very humble about it
Dave’s story saved my life. I was battling depression and addiction. But his story of tenacity and grit has inspired so much to play music and continue doing my best everyday. I love you Dave and I love Megadeth. 🔥 ❤️ 🔥
45:20 one thing i always loved in Megadeth is the proper use of the bass guitar. Jr always pops and stands out and has value, unlike in most bands where the bass is only there because it's kind of expected
This didn't age well. Lol
@@theadorebundy4514 in what way?
Ellefson was fired lol.@@MarioMario-qo4nf
Dave is an example, no matter how many times life knocks us down we can get back up if we don't give up.
@Stonlee Ames Bruce Dickinson did and still surviving.... that is another Legend.
He's an inspiration to anyone who has any hardships to overcome
When he said something like ‘they were my friends, and now they weren’t’. That was the most human I’ve ever heard Dave sound
Isn’t that most recently an Ellefson quote?
People Just show up and react.
they're Not actually friends.
You didn't set out to meet friends.
@@dreyn7780 source of the quote, pls?
umm... are you new to Megadeth or something? That's just your most typical Dave-Mustaine-ism out there....
@@kurzackd Same. Dave's always been a cool, funny, sweet guy and I've been a fan now nearly 30 years. Seen him perform live many times, and he was the only one who actually treated me like a human being.
MSM and sheep would call him an alcoholic prick, but that's never neen my experience. People are idiots that love eating up stereotypes ans news articles.
I met Dave at Download Festival 2005. He is a really nice man. I remember it was after the gig and I was sweaty after the pit and I told him 'sorry I'm sweaty i've been in the pit' and he grabbed my shoulder and pulled me in for a photo. Cool guy.
I see Dave like Kratos
Young and angry, but with the age, he has become a mature, calm and focused person.
While Kratos is the god of war, Dave is the god of thrash metal.
Don't bring up that castrated trash game.
@@Zer0fuks Shut your mouth if you're going to comment bullshit
How dare you compare that trash around here. New GoW is ass
Shut your mouth if you are going to comment bullshit
For the love of God please keep making these videos. Whoever is the mastermind behind these is doing such a wonderful job. the production values, the format of the interview, etc. They are a masterpiece. KEEP IT UP.
Thanks for watching! More episodes coming soon!
@@gibsonguitar Please Gibson!! More "MEGA-DAVE"!! HES A LIVING LEGEND"!!..Dave & Cliff burton were brothers and made mettalica heavy! It's beyond incredible to man kind that "Dave created Megadeth & vic-rattle head".plus he developed the spider technique!..i never bought a Gibson guitar...since Dave Mustine is playing it I plan to buy 2 of them!!💪😎🤘🔥🔥
That letter from Cliff is a real piece of metal history!
I've never heard about it before.
I love Metallica but Dave is a one man army and I respect what he’s done after all he’s been through he proved himself he’s a king
Yep. He made it to the top.
I didn't expect to watch the whole piece in one go, but just couldn't pause it. Great storyteller with an interesting lifestory. So happy he overcame cancer and all the other challenges - takes a helluva character.
After going through so much shit in his childhood and younger years... Dave really pulled himself together. Not only is he a great musician, but he is a great dad, husband, and human being.
Funny how he leaves out David Ellefson the whole time, as if he never existed. It was him and Dave who started Megadeth 👎
And great guitar player
how do you know he's a great husband? lmao
@@BananaManPL Pam would have left him long ago if he wasn't. They have been married for 30 years.
You don't know them that way. And frankly, peeking into Dave's marriage is kinda creepy. Just because he's famous doesn't mean his private life is your business.
Both Dave and James are huge influential guitarists in their own right. I'm glad things turned out as they have. So many good albums from both bands.
Exactly, the rivalry is just a joke after all.
Everybody won in the end.
Oh absolutely true. Both deserve the praise they have been given in their individual lives. I admire them as musicians. Very few get to their caliber. Legends like the later and great major rager, Cliff Lee Burton.
Totally agree🎸
Well said!!
Yea, i think them going separate ways ended up best for everyone, especially metal heads
Dave seems like such a nice, level headed and personable guy. He's really been through a lot and he's grown so much, and has so many stories to tell. I can tell he'll make a fantastic grand dad! Wish I could give him a hug. Great interview!
Like most alcoholics, he is brilliant when he’s sober! A total ass when he’s not!
Nice level headed? Lmao
@@Jay-kr5tsmaybe not in the past, but he has grown a lot, you gotta give him some credit for that
I've never seen a live concert clip or on the spot, not planned like this, video where I would ever think of Dave as being "nice" but if he is now, then good for him
@@MoreMeRecordingseriously... there is so much evidence to the contrary. Guy seems like a real douche.
I’m glad Mustaine chose not to talk bad about his former band mates rather than address their conflicts. Those topics have already been broadly answered by Mustaine, and those involved, in other interviews. The series is focused primarily on allowing these guitar players to talk about their life and careers in the context of now, not a full scope biography. All those involved in Megadeth played a part in making the band what it is today.
I hope someday I can find someone who looks at me the way Dave Mustaine looks at Dave Mustaine. That is love.
Make an edgy comment from your channel account. Hope it leads to more views. Talk about narcissism.
@@twiggsherman3641 its really not a negative comment at all. its great to love urself and the way the dude put it seams totally on that positive side, hmm. granted dave is also funny the way he does go over that love into an egoic way of self praise, so his comment makes even more sense cuz so. it ain't too bad of a thing to have besides you won't see all sides to everything..
omg, that is epic, only second to Eddie Trunk
@@twiggsherman3641 on a ukelele channel no less
that effing cracked me up, and I like Mustaine. People are so damn sensitive. I am with you, u small guitar playing bastard
Dave exemplifies the "never Say Die" Standard. So many times he could have called it done, but never did. His music speaks beyond words.
I used to play call of duty but they kicked me out cause i was 2 timing the franchise with other games, man.
I haven't been allowed back.
now Look at them!
my brOWse they're addiction evEryday.
they're getting a new game next Week.
if only I stuCK to the 1 game,man.
I'm going back to Big bike bmx or casey putch.
His life is inspiration to me
@@bearded_riffs Show Ya is inspiring.
Show Ya is the real deal.
1st time I saw Megadeth live I was 19 at Freeman Coliseum here in San Antonio, TX. It was a small venue not many peeps showed up, about 400. The front rows that were normally reserved were empty so I strolled up and got to watch Dave shred at a distance of about 6 feet away. His live solo's changed my life for the better. 🤘🤘
This man is a TRUE metal GOD!!!!!! As a kid who was born In 73 this man gave me a sound track and metal family feel to my very hard and troubled childhood. I had tickets to see Megadeth the year covid hit in WV but they cancelled and I PRAY they will coMe back soon!!!
What a legend and what a great video, thanks for putting this together!
Hear, hear!
Thanks Dave 🤙
His book is great too. Crazy stories about Nick and others.
@@davidperez5089 what book ? 👀
@@sfjc1387 Dave's autobiography.
i love his voice, his lyrics, his style, his passion his rage... I love this guy. Thanks for everything Dave!
I couldn't agree with you more.
Absolutely dude
Dave has always been a class act, met him multiple times, he was even gracious enough to sign my guitar after his book signing when all his people were telling me no.
first thing ive watched in a while without pausing. love dave
That was a killer opening sequence! Nice job, Gibson TV! Love this "Icons" series!
Thanks for watching
awesome intro
@@gibsonguitar great job loved it!!!
@@gibsonguitar I had to throw on the glasses and hit the 3D button on the TV for that one. Looked amazing! Thanks for all of the effort.
Most people would just fade away after been ousted from a band like Metallica. But Dave Mustaine is not just another musician. By sheer willpower and mental strenght Dave was able to form a band to rival and to some be even better than his former band. Dave Mustaine is a King among men.
@@neilvetter662 Wrong
Megadeth was formed out of vindictiveness, anger and bitterness.
Many life lessons to be learned from the success of Megadeth and Dave Mustaine
Yea as much as I like Ron, not a lot of people know the band he was in after.
@@BoeyChar by success you mean still being bitter about it after 20 years despite selling millions of albums and touring ? Yeah
Incredible interview to listen to I was hooked, Dave is awesome
this has become a comfort video of mine. dave is so soft spoken and such a good story teller.
Reading that letter from Cliff is so chilling! It's almost like a letter he would've written had he survived the bus accident that took his life in 1986.
Damm. Imagine if Lars was in his place.
@@Ilshatey garbage of you to say that. Lars is the reason metallica is successful. If lars had died metallica would of been no more popular than testament or slayer
@@Lopez-my1bo yes the famously unpopular band slayer
@@Nutoleon I never said they were unpopular but slayer isn't selling out arenas all over the world like metallica is now. Lars is a huge reason for their commercial success
@@Ilshatey Maybe you could try not to make sh***y comments about people. Lars is at least partly responsible for some of the best metal music ever recorded. He deserves respect too.
Gotta admit that Dave Mustaine was way ahead of his time when it comes to his Guitar playing.
Love you Dave! Your music has changed my life!
This is a brilliant documentary/interview. Thanks for putting it together.
I was just visiting Tennessee a few days ago and got the absolute pleasure of meeting Dave while standing in line for a restaurant. He was so gracious and kind. It was such a thrill for my husband and I to meet him :-)
How was it? I want to move to nashville
Seriously? How did y'all break the ice?
@@tun-tunninc.6492 my husband turned to him and said hi Dave… we are big fans of your music and then we just started taking 😀
@@uncleruckus3149 it was really nice. The people there are so gracious and kind
That is awesome! I’m in NC but wish I was in TN! Hahaha
The moment he mentioned Hetfield felt heart warming!
He isn't wrong either. Him and Hetfield are probably the absolute tightest metal players alive or dead.
@@Just_JoshE For sure!
@@Just_JoshE well i would say it’s probably them two and Dimebag as the third.
@@islas357 Also a very valid entry
@@islas357 That’s definitely 3 of the 4 on Metal’s Mount Rushmore
This was fantastic and eye opening even to me who has been a Megadeth fan from the late 80’s! Long Live Megadeth!
Icon for sure. One of the best to ever do it. An inspiration to all young metalheads. A giant among giant players and bands. And still going! 🤘
Dave is royalty amongst the metal elites. His chops are fantastic and his legacy will be remembered long after TH-cam becomes the equivalent of the phonograph.
Thanks Dave, and Gibson, for this video.
At age 48 I have become a Megadeth fan and want to be able to shred like those guys. And now I want a Flying V
Same here! Back in the day, I really loved Anthrax and Metallica, and for some reason Slayer and Megadeth slipped by the wayside. Now I've had the chance to get in and discover more than their megahits as a grown adult and it's been so inspiring! Have you read/listened to Dave's autobiography? Fascinating stuff!!! :)
Welcome to the family 🤘🏻🤘🏻
You better get to practicing
That’s cool
🤘
Glad you are still with us i will keep supporting the band as the music and lyrics are right for what this world is about. I just saw your last show and I hope you can keep up the great work! Always wanted to just meet ya as I also grew up in the same sort of craziness the 60s / 70s parents never around and still made it in this life.
Dave has always been & will always be my hero. I admire you, Dave. You are amazing, thank you SO, so much for giving all you do. 💗
I have to say this is probably the best interview I have ever heard Dave give. He´s older, more mature, a liiiiitle bit more modest and probably a bit wiser too. Great stuff!
Yeah, good on Gibson for just keeping it quiet and focused on Dave for as long as needed to tell these stories. Just fantastic.
It’s crazy to listen to this because he’s talking about his panic car crash right now and I live like 5 minutes away from where he’s mentioning
Ooohhh wow, what else do you live 5 minutes away from?
@@Sandman60077 Umm, reality ?
😨😨😨
He’s told that same story before on video except he mentioned a different locations. In this video he says south of the pier but in the other video he said pch and Warner haha

That intro was incredible, what an Amazing interview from begining till end, top notch! Best I've seen on Dave over the years. Thanks Gibson!
I really like this interview with Dave it’s like tears of joy Thanks Dave
Gibson knockin’ it out of the park with their roster lately. These “Icon” films are kickass and very well done. Oh, and Dave’s not bad either. 🤘🏻
Look what happened to Show Ya!
Why did you silence them in half the world?
Australians have never heard of Show Ya in 35 years.

@@dreyn7780 In Australia, really?not many people could understand the Japanese lyrics , in half the world at least
@@dreyn7780 Who cares
When Dave said he wanted his music to make people feel liberated is a perfect analogy. The Megadeth shows I've seen through the years demonstrates that perfectly, as most fans are feeling it from their toenails to the ends of their hair. To sum it up... Dave's is a legacy of liberation. Bravo.
Legendary. So happy to see Dave is still doing well. What a story he has to tell!
i love him so much, i could sit and listen to him forever. megadeth saved my life in so many ways and im so thankful for em. ❤️
This interview and the Kirk Hammett interview are two of the best interviews I've ever seen. From the photos to the "un-typical" stories, these interviews are actually interesting! Nice job Gibson.
@Irfan Spirtovic Jerry is always the best.
It's a great series, no doubt! The Bob Rock one was pretty insightful also. Really liked Iommi's too. There's a real attention to detail and focus on going deeper and avoiding too much ground covered in previous interviews
Right
@Irfan Spirtovic Cantrell sure has a massive record library, assuming that was his. I’ve dug all of these Icon interviews.
Andrew Joseph, you so got it right. I’m currently watching Dave’s and viewed Kirk Hammett’s one boot too long back. I agree with you when it comes to interesting.
Gibson’s getting all these metal legends, they’re stepping up, hopefully they continue to make good moves like this
The power of money my friend, that's all it is
They can start with making their guitar quality better
@@SuperHorsecowthis is a very late reply but that’s hella obvious, Gibson’s a business, not a passion project
@@cinnamonsinner46192 years later nothing has changed 😂
@@gianski3306 this is depressing to read 💀
Dave is a warrior. Max respect for you man! Thanks for all!
There would be no thrash guitar without Dave. He created the entire sound of American 80s thrash metal.
This is the most grounded, normal, and likeable I've heard this guy in 30 years of being a fan and listening to interviews.
I mean dude’s turning 60 in a month, by 60 people drop their angst and come to terms (more or less) with who they.
I kept waiting for a snide remark or dbag comment, and it never came. Like it.
Rattlehead’s main riff is like an average band’s solo… Dave Mustaine is an inspiration, and absolute LEGEND of Metal.
Thank you Gibson 🙏🏼
Poison was the cure is ALL solo, there is no "riff".
@@pleasuretokill I agree. But in this case I was speaking of Rattlehead…
@@jamesestrada82 ...and I was making a comparison between Rattlehead and Poison Was the Cure regarding riff difficulty and likeness to the compexity of a solo. We each did our own thing. As is allowed.
@@pleasuretokill For sure. No shots fired from me. As stated before, I agree with your assessment. 🤘🏼
What a tremendous interview with a living legend IMO. Loved all the cool footage as well. Thx so much Dave for the great music you have provided, and continue to provide for us. One of the all time great guitar players of metal/thrash, etc…So cool to have him explain how he has matured as person/human being etc… being 57 I can tell you for sure I am not the same person I was in my teens, 20s, 30s, etc..hope his health continues to be good..
That was so cool to hear Dave’s story. I have been a huge fan of Megadeth for many many years.😎
If Dave is finally selling peace, then I'll be the first in line.
37:14 Hiring Marty Friedman changed Megadeth forever. One of the greatest guitarist ever. Rust in Piece, so damn good album.
Right? Though Poland is still on of the best players to ever be in a "thrash metal
" band. But Dragons Kiss was my favorite guitar album at the time. Both Becker and Martys solos albums but Dragons Kiss really spoke to me most stylistically he was like the next level of all the phrygian melodic minor type stuff i lived and breathed. And i was saying at the time man if these guys got into a proper top tier thrash band it would be insane, it would change the game immeasurably. Well Megadeth happened to be my favorite all around band at the time so when he joined them i knew it was probably going to be historical foot note in metal.
Rust is the best metal album of all time. Of course, that's just my opinion. It stands the test of time, and will for 30 more years.
friedman is overrated tho
@@michals5737 huh? he's one the best to ever do it. one of the most original in the genre of rock/metal by far. the best of the best. in the class of the greatest of the greats. i would base that on Dragons Kiss and Scenes alone. Let alone his work in Megadeth.
@@chickenbeek he has made few brilliant solos on the rust in peace album but thats not enough to call him 'one of the best'
he has not done anything relevant after breaking up with megadeth, did not pursue any kind of successful solo career
also, his songwriting credits were actually quite low in megadeth
I absolutely respect and love Dave gibson you keep blowing my mind keep them coming you guys rock 🤘
You are an amazing talent and human being. I’m so happy to see you well and back to giving us your music. ❤️❤️👏👏👍👍🙏🙏✨✨
Dave mustaine is an absolute soldier of a man, a great guitarist. He gets flack for his singing but has such an interesting sense of melody on songs, his voice works perfectly on songs like peace sells, tornado of souls, in my darkest hour, sweatin bullets and so on
I agree. The Countdown to Extinction album is still one of my favorites. Hangar 18 is still probably my favorite. Holy Wars; SoD main stream? Yeah, somewhat. A good listen through? F×$kin A Right. I love it. Louder Than Life...For real, let's go!
Ive heard megadeth covers with technically better vocalists but... its not the same, not as good.
That's tbe beauty of original music...Dave's not for everyone, but it's real as fu?k
I love Megadeth.!!!! Dave's the only thrash guy where you can hear his snarl in his voice
Very well put
The fact that Dave listed James before himself when talkin about great rhythm players says something
Yeah, that he's very humble. It's all a matter of opinion anyway
@@xiyx9748 He's pretty tough. Definitely learned from the Legends, Dave and James.
Well daves admires james as a rhythm guitarist, mans a beast
@@BasedCrusader216 Naming yourself one of the greatest rythm guitar players is the opposite of humble. Hahaha
@@14AspenDrive Naming yourself a lesser guitarist than James Hetfield who can barely even scramble together a decent solo, is yes humble
Whether it's about rhythm or leading, Dave Mustaine is a far greater Guitarist
I’ve got to say, this series from Gibson is awesome. I’m loving these episodes and this one in particular has me seeing Dave in an entirely new light. Really cool to hear him speaking and telling stories in such a relaxed, natural format.
So glad you're enjoying our Icons series. We appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Very good interview, he is so interesting to listen to, love you Dave Mustaine ❤❤
Megadeth to me is the greatest metal band ever. Thanks Dave for turning your Life around. Your a true inspiration.
Cool…also are you a homosexual??
@@DoomiePookie yes
@@DoomiePookie being inspired by Dave Mustaine is considered gay??
The guy had a troubled and f*cked up childhood, later he found his passion to overcome it; later he found the band to push his talent forward then they kicked him out, he formed a better band. Later he lost his ability to play for his injury in his hand, he came back with great music; he had cancer, he kicked it out and for what I've seen on YT he's sounding great. What am I trying to say? You can say a lot of things about Mustaine about his personality, but no one can deny he's a true fighter. Someone that never gives up and always come back stronger. Most people would have given up. He's truly an inspiration. Thank you for this Gibson, and thank you Dave for so many years of joy. We are waiting for you here in your second home 🇦🇷 Aguante Megadeth!
Far from better band but nice
Better band? Lol when it comes to Metallica nothing else matters
I love Metallica. But they don't stand a chance against Megadeth. And I'm not even trying to create a feud here. We can enjoy both bands. But besides James voice, megadeth wins in every other way.
@@luchboxer I mean, it's the ear that hears i guess
@@luchboxer Yeah both bands are great, but if you listen closely, Megadeth is better in almost every aspect, except for vocals. Better musicians, far more technique, speed, better lyrics, more great albums and more influences, like jazz fusion (early works) etc.
I grew up listening to Metallica, Slayer and Carcass, never was really into Megadeth. I used to read magazines about Metallica and their history growing up so I knew about Dave and all, but I wasn't expecting this to be one of the best interviews I've ever seen. He's so well spoken and I have much more respect for him after watching this. He basically founded 2 of the biggest metal bands of all time and inspired some of the great guitarists of this generation.
The quality of this video production coupled with Dave's forthright story telling make this a cracking monologue interview. When the camera cuts close in on his face you can see the life Dave lived on every wrinkle.
So many people hate on Dave and ive never got it ...he writes with his heart and god damn you cannot take away his genius ..he is the riff master general and allways will be
,first time i heard wake up dead 33 years ago it gave me goosebumps...good on ya Dave.
Word 🤙🏼
"Riff master general" I love that buddy !
Okay, okay I like Megadeath a lot I even like Dave and think this interview is awesome. However you never “got” why people hate Dave Mustang. Dudes been know for acting like a dickhead for a lonnnnng time. Looks like he has pulled himself up here and let alot of that go but anyone can at least understand why people hate Dave. Once again not saying I do but I totally understand why people do.
@@cosmonauthal7651 His name is Mustaine. Fucking hack.
@@cosmonauthal7651 And no, to counter that, I've followed him going on 30 years and he's never _not_ been a sweet heart. No one has been kinder to me.
I could listen to mister Mustaine tell stories as often as he would tell em.
What an amazing person! Just amazing history background about Dave himself!! 👊🏻
The most humble person I’ve ever seen!! He has been through so much to be where he is today!!!
Awesome documentary! Thanks Gibson TV 🎸
What I like about this video is listening to Dave voice. He just wins battle with cancer and seeing him in this condition makes me happy. Too many rock star haven't survive their substance abuse and seeing Dave, not only alive, but still making heavy music is just incredible.
Dave mustaine is a victory

Dave and Bruce Dickinson man.
Both beating oral/throat type cancers at an older age, and then both still proceeding to make, not the best albums of their careers, but albums with some absolute banger songs that harken back to their heyday and would've fit in just fine on some of their greatest records is monumental. And then both still touring and putting on killer shows.
Aguante Mustaine, aguante Megadeth!!!
Para cuando un cover de Megadeth?
@cartoncool si 😎👍
Grande el slayer, fan de Megadeth
i dont know what it means, but it sounds awesome
@@slobodanmedojevic6336 I speak Spanish and I still don't know what this is supposed to mean.
What a life.
So happy to see you do over David and be fresh.
Living Tru just being honest and you.
Awesome interview. Great watch!
I'm always telling my wife how "Countdown To Extinction" is metal but kinda swings, Dave has just validated my musical analysis!
Yeah but thrash fan boys will only say the first 4 albums are good and the rest after RIP are trash
Risk is the same way. It has funk under the covers.
@@YourFearIsReal Sadly tis true. Countdown to Extinction and Risk are great albums. They have “hooks” which is the word most thrash purists call “sellout,”.
rust isn't too swingy, good in a different way, but his other stuff does have this element
"Take no Prisoners" reminds me of an escola de samba
Gar could also swing, but I only figured that out when they got remixed
Nobody has meant more to me musically than Dave Mustaine. His music saw me through a tough adolescence, inspired me to pick up the guitar and write songs. This was epic. Thank you Gibson!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for carrying me through my youth. I still feel what I felt back then when listening to your music.
What a great video! It's awesome to hear Dave be vulnerable and so open about the history of Megadeth and really kind of the history of himself & all he's been through, self-afflicted and otherwise. Really enjoyed this. Here's to another decade!
Dave, after all these years, is still my hero because he presents as a man, with his frailty, his flaws, but with a relentless drive to go forward, like pulled by an invisible force.
He is a mere man and a legend as well. Long live Dave Mustaine.
And with bullshit
I really just appreciate Dave as a human being. Been a Megadeth fan since the beginning. Dave you made it brother.
he has such an understated humor about him, i never knew how funny he was. i laughed out loud multiple times watching this!
Thanks for the love and support, where are you from?
@@davemustaine969you’re a very weird person. impersonating dave and asking personal questions about people. Sicko
Maestro Mustaine! Thanks for sharing all those words of wisdom.
