5/25/2005 at 07:00I seen Dave live 2 or 3 times, he can play a bit.
He's no Marty Friedman but I've seen him throw in his share of chops.
not the greatest shredder. He's more of a song writer/shredder.
3.5 out of 5 from me.

Im not saying dave cant play however I dislike his playing...his leads have
no emotion to me...just a bunch of notes played fast...sorry man...thats
how I feel.
I will give him a 1.5 out of 5 for emotion.
As for his playing as a whole I guess I would go with a 3.5 out of 5 just
to be nice... :boxer: :giggly:
5/25/2005 at 22:40Dave is Ok I like him better then the Metallica dudes.... Dave's not the
cry baby :giggly:
I seen a interview with Dave and he's taking lessons, he might learn a bit
here 
7/10/2005 at 16:23dave mustaine is a metal god.....he deserves props...H e LL, the first 2
metallica albums were a bunch of his riffs....he may not be able to
shred....but try singing and playin any of his riffs (like holy wars...the
punishment due).....granted megadeth put out a couple of boring albums like
risk...but rust in peace and all of megadeth's early material inspired a
new generation of metal heads....not to mention the guy has sold well over
15 million albums. ummmm has anyone here sold more that 15????
7/10/2005 at 16:29as for marty friedman....the words arrogance and P RI CK come to
mind........i saw him live and in a guitar clinic.....people asked him to
play certain passages (nothin to obscure), like the solos from hanger 18
and all that....he wouldn't play it....he replied that he didn't play that
stuff anymore....at least he signed a few autographs afterwords....not to
say that the guy can't play but....jason becker blew him off sage in
cacophony.........great inspiration there.
7/13/2005 at 21:58Daves greatest gift is his song writing ability. I could care less how
arrogant Marty is; the guy can play rings around Dave.
Becker was a great talent but that will be saved for another thread.
