Dave Mustaine
Megadeth's founder, singer, songwriter and rhythm guitarist, known for fast, angular, picking-hand-driven riffs and a sound built on Jackson V guitars. By Countdown to Extinction in 1992 he and Marty Friedman had moved to rack rigs, a Custom Audio Electronics 3+ preamp into a VHT power amp. That's why the record sounds tighter and less saturated than the thrash albums before it.
