Dave Mustaine Hires Megadeth Guitarists To Challenge Him

. (TeamRock Radio) Dave Mustaine has joked that he plays tracks by his former band Metallica for fun when he's sitting around the house. But he's also admitted that every guitarist he brought into Megadeth were hired because they challenged him.

Mustaine tells Pensado's Place: "Each guitar player I've worked with over the years, I've gotten because they were better at soloing than I was. I'm pretty confident with my rhythm playing.

"I didn't want someone who sounded just like me - I wanted the two to dovetail together. If you add white and white it's still white. If you add white and black you can start to change the colors. As you add colors into the palette you change the songs."

And he's as passionate about playing guitar as he ever was. "The guitar's helped me say things I can't say with my mouth," he explains. "I say it with my hands. When you play a piece of music and someone else can go, 'I feel what you feel,' you've made a really good bond with somebody." Read more here.
