Dave Mustaine
Metallica’s original lead guitarist was Dave Mustaine. He was born in La Mesa, CA. Because of his alcoholism, substance addiction, violence, and battles with founding members James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, Mustaine was fired from Metallica on April 11, 1983. Still, throughout his profession, he managed to have great success going forward thanks to the band he founded named “Megadeth.” In his band, he is known to both sing and play fast, amazing lead lines. Amazing right?!
