Description
Megadeth’s legendary sound is built on the foundation of Dave Mustaine’s rhythm riffing and various lead guitar players that have worked with the band. Combined they were the completely over the top metal sound of Megadeth tunes! These playing styles were firmly grounding in the early hard rock of the late 60s & 70s like Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath & the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Megadeth brought those heavy riffing traditions to the present and expanded on them into the future!
Mustaine’s rhythm playing style & high gain crunch tone was one of the most influential on modern metal. The various lead guitarists in the band used extreme speed shred & heavily saturated high gain tones.
