Megadeth's Dave Mustaine on God & Guitar
(Filed under: Music News)Nerve damage sidelined Megadeth guitarist Dave Mustaine, giving him a needed break from music and 16 months without touching a guitar. Now he's back and Megadeth is touring and last year released The Systen Has Failed.
Mustaine is also talking about his deepened faith in God. That faith has included taking a stand against Satanic imagery. He forced promoters of one metal show to choose between Megadeth and another band. Megadeth won.
"There are people who believe in God - whether Jews or Christians. Then there are agnostics and atheists. And then there's the antithesis, the enemy of everyone," he said. "What the hell does Satanism have to do with music anyway? Life is too short; there's no need for me to put myself in a situation that's undesirable for me, especially if I'm the headliner. I think 20 years in the business gives me some credentials."
