Dave Mustaine
Biography
Dave Mustaine is an American musician who co-founded the thrash metal band Megadeth and serves as its frontman, primary songwriter and sole consistent member. Born in La Mesa, California, he served as Metallica's lead guitarist from 1981 to 1983, though he did not play on any Metallica albums; he received songwriting credits on four tracks from Kill 'Em All and two from Ride the Lightning. After leaving Metallica, he formed Megadeth, whose catalog includes seventeen studio albums, with worldwide sales of more than 50 million records and five platinum certifications. In 2017 the band won a Grammy for Best Metal Performance for the title track of Dystopia. Mustaine also created Gigantour in 2005, and a Big Four concert in Sofia, Bulgaria, was captured for release. His guitar work has earned recognition in polls and books, including a first place ranking in Joel McIver's The 100 Greatest Metal Guitarists.
