Dave Mustaine

Metallica’s first lead guitarist was Dave Mustaine. He was born in the California community of La Mesa. Due to his drinking, drug addiction, hostility, and feuds with Metallica members James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, Mustaine was sacked from the band on April 11, 1983. Despite this, he had a successful career as a result of the band he established, “Megadeth,” where he was noted for both singing and playing fast, outstanding lead lines. Isn’t it amazing?!
