- From Metallica’s Fallout to Megadeth’s Rise: The Relentless Journey of a Thrash Metal Icon
Dave Mustaine is the mad prophet of thrash metal—snarling, shredding, and forever scorned. Kicked out of Metallica before fame struck, he channeled vengeance into Megadeth, crafting riffs like razor blades and lyrics that sneer at the void. He’s part guitar hero, part wounded poet, half messiah, half menace. His solos spit fire, his vocals bite, and every note reeks of rebellion. This ain’t just metal—it’s Mustaine’s gospel, screaming from the edge of apocalypse.
