Dave Mustaine - Megadeth Co-Founder & Frontman (Video)
In this 27 May 2025 video, host Shawn Ryan talks with Dave Mustaine, the co-founder, frontman, primary songwriter, and sole consistent member of the thrash metal band Megadeth.
A pioneer of the American thrash metal movement, Mustaine formed Megadeth in 1983 after his departure from Metallica, where he served as lead guitarist and co-songwriter. With Megadeth, he has released sixteen studio albums, sold over 50 million records worldwide, earned six platinum certifications, and won a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 2017 for the title track of Dystopia. Known for his intricate guitar work, snarling vocal style, and lyrics exploring war, politics, and personal struggles, Mustaine remains a towering figure in heavy metal.
Despite overcoming challenges like substance abuse, a 2002 arm injury, and throat cancer in 2019, he continues to tour and create music, with Megadeth’s latest album, The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!, released in 2022. He is working on his 17th album. Mustaine is also expanding his family’s wine venture, House of Mustaine, and mentors emerging artists.
