If you know Dave, then you know he doesn’t give a Flying V what you think about his signature guitar. But we do! Let us know in the comments below, and shop it today at Sweetwater 👉 imp.i114863.net/a1g5Go
I start of by saying I got here on click bate. I was about to explode in the comments. Then after about 3 mins in I thought, "that Dave is genius"! However, I would have thought his love for Gibson guitars came from Angus Young? I'll be in the guitar buying market again in a couple months or so, I'll certainly check this out! I'm looking for a 335 more than a V. I've never seen it do metal, but who's to say it can't!
All I can say is that I have a Jackson King V Pro Dave Mustaine MIJ from 92 and its the best guitar I have. And I have a LOT of high quality guitars....
@@irmasil3 It's no secret that Dave loves Jackson. He even tried buying the company before Fender got a hold of it. You can really get some get some good deals on Jacksons of that era. However, Jackson MIJ quality of that time was HORRIBLE! It was so bad they closed down the factory.
@@amordeus2681 From wha I have heard MIJ back in the day where so GOOD that they were compared with the USA models easily. I can only comment on my own guitar which is the typical era MIJ Jackson (poplar wings, quarteshawn maple, ebony board construction) and its one hell of a guitar. I have 2 other USA custom shop Jacksons (another V and a KE1) and its EASILY up there with them if not better. Its my go-to guitar.
Joe Rogan isn’t a musician. Joe Rogan is going to focus on life and personal philosophy. Why would you ever expect Rogan to know about Dave’s Seymour Duncans? That’s pretty idiotic, immature and downright ignorant.
This current line up is like a band again and Dave confirms it. You can tell he let Kiko and Dirk into his circle and they are able to contribute to Megadeth in a way that was missing for years. My favorite line up since the 90's, by far. And the new album shows it.
@@goofykid2027 Outside of Ellefson, Dave hasn't kicked a member out since 98 when Menza was fired. Every member outside of that left on their own. He also had Poland back for one album, had Ellefson come back after Jr. tried to sue him, had Lomenzo come back, tried to work out Marty and Nick to come back, etc. Sure, Megadeth has had member changes, but most left on their own. Dave DID change. Stop being a hater.
The more I listen to Dave recent interview, the more I believe he is in a happy place right now. It also reflects in his newest album which is heavy, fast, and very nice to listen to.
I dunno, the fact that he'll let Gibson control his speech like that (making him call Dean "The Company") came across as weak and sell-outy to me. I lost a bit of respect for him here. Not a fan of the new album, either. Much like Priest and Maiden, Megadeth hasn't put out a really good album since the 90s imo
this is one of the best interviews Dave has done, he was being sincere and talking about personal battles with the cancer and then reaching out to guys like Tom Keifer to help hi,m, acknowledging they would have been mortal enemies back in the day. he claims MEgadeth is as big as they have ever been....I hope so.
Great interview! Dave seems so content and happy right now. Even when he wasn't in a good place, he always gave a good interview. Uses a lot of analogies and imagery in his interviews, which is interesting and engaging. Such an articulate, intelligent and colourful character. So cool to see and hear he's still around and relevant after all this time.
Happy Birthday Dave, and thanks to Sweetwater and Gibson for delivering my Dave Mustaine rust in peace Flying V im glad I preordered it .The one I received is flawless ,thank you Chris Jenkins my salesman.
Honestly love all the comments I see, I’m so used to seeing people bash on artists, but like every one is saying, it’s a great interview and love seeing how open Dave is and being able to see that he looks and seems genuinely happy!
Yknow I always find some serious validation when I grew up in the 90’s and I started listening to KISS and idolizing Ace. I’m glad that my musical journey started like so many of my own Metal idols.
Well yeah that kind of goes without saying. Joey is the only actual singer in terms of the big four. The reason why it works is the same as why it does/did for Slayer, Motörhead, RHCP, Primus among others: They compliment the instruments well.
Fantastic! Nick and Dave Mustaine! Dave is so laid back and has a great sense of humor! His playing, and tone are insane! Can’t wait for Sweetwater to get these in and start shipping. Been a long wait for this one.⭐️🙏😇
Singing is a hard craft. Generally I've never been into singers. I like people who can use their voice like an instrument. Dave may not have a conventional voice but he uses it to the greatest effect. Having a 'proper singer' wouldn't work. It wouldn't be Megadeth.
That's insane, of course but I think a good acoustic is always much more than an equally good electric ...and it's Gibson, so that's probably their idea of affordable.
Dave has switched brand so many times and always said they were the best guitars he's ever played that I can't take him seriously anymore. I'd bet money he'd still buy Jackson if he could at the drop of a hat.
He wasn't endorsed by BC Rich early on. That was just the guitar that offered him 24 frets at the time. And Gar had an in with that company. But, he had Jackson for many years, the Dean for a lot of years, and now Gibson. But, what's the contradiction? He is going to say what he plays is great because at the time it is. He's also said that about many band members, before. Why? Because, he's constantly had great players, so he praises them at the time they are in the band. You grow up, your taste changes, and you appreciate things for different reasons. You can tell he's more into the family vibe at Gibson, and that helps shape the way he talks about it. And, since these companies essentially make the guitars to his specs, of course they will be great for him. And why would he say they are the best he's had? He's refining the specs with each guitar.
Nice v's and the colors are awesome and I love the new album I bought a copy for me and one for my brother he is a huge megadeth fan he has epilepsy... he could have up to ten seisers a day ... so he live life a little different than the normal and he is very intelligent he is 40 years old now and he really loves the new album ...
\m/ First ever USA Gibson made for the Metal Manic Attack!!! A New Generation is Unleashed!!! American Pride & Craftsmanship is Reborn!!! Got one ov these Guitars on back order, destined to be in thy hands & on tape in the studio & live. Thanks Mega-Dave & Cesar Gueikian.
Yeah, pretty much all the endorsers at Dean have gone since Rubinson's son took over. Guess Gibson will go after Michael Schenker next. The new Gibson management just treat the endorsers better now. They still have a long way to go on their production line QC.
@@jordanbowen6136 IF they're really working at it. If not, it's ingrained now. "Just have to find the right one" is a common euphemism for "qc issues on a bunch I've tried".
@Dave Scott Mustaine we don't get it so easy. Survivor means attending funerals, dispensation, treatment plans. The A-jed Parent at a Megadeth concert? In the wheelchair row? Toss me in the mosh there's worse ways to go.
Wow! That Song Writer acoustic looks fantastic! That may be my very first Gibson acoustic! I’m a dyed in the wool Martin guy (and Guilds, too) for acoustics. I’m NOT a metal guy when it comes to performing, and it would be soooo weird to be inspired by Mustaine, to purchase my first Gibby! Even electrics, I play Fender and Gretsch guitars! If Gibson has fixed up their quality issues, I can get on board. For years, they charged top $ for guitars that you’d receive with finish, and even structural/engineering issues. I want a Mustaine acoustic! LOL, LOL! Peace
While Dave is an epic guitar player, I'd say the best metal guitar player of all time, he is starting to look like Relic from the Beach Combers TV show back in the day.
Just bought the Silver V. Man I can't wait to get her. I had a yamaha pacifica that was my favorite, but i tried to add some heavier strings and should have hand tuned but put the roadie on it and listened to the screws pop out of the neck. Anyway that's my excuse for buying another guitar lol... I love the Seymour Duncan pickups. That's why I brought up the purple Foste' pacifica. it has/had Duncan blackouts. Anyway love the style! Thanks Dave!
Honestly that acoustic looks cheap asf. I liked his dean acoustic designs so much better. Even on the electric guitars. I mean The “Angel of death” cmon. Thats a badass guitar.

So does he, theres a reason why his guitars copy the Jackson neck. He tried to buy the company way back then a few times, but got either rejected or fender got there faster.
I love v but they feel way too big but I'd say I can get used too it. for me always wanted the vbt700 ibanez because I thought they were unique until jackson sent them a cease and desist... DAMN YOU JACKSON
I wish they called one of his signature V's the MegaV or the Flying Deth, either or. 😄 Gibson should also, for fun make a 'fender acoustisonic-like' chambered, acoustic, thin body Flying V.
They have that acoustic V, don't they? Pretty sure I've seen one somewhere. I looked it up, Dean made those but that only means they're probably not as ridiculously overpriced.
@@Girzzlyঐু yeah his signature V had an 8ball as the 1st fret marker for some reason. That's actually why I remembered his ESP, I always wanted to know why it had an 8ball inlay

great for my Goth Doom Metal soul 🖤🤘
