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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.⭐️🙏😇
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!
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".
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 ...
Eh, Gibson is only worth it if they are sponsoring you and you aren't paying for their gear. For the cost of one gibson signature, you could own 3 pretty outstanding guitars from just about any other manufacturer. 3 solid Ibanez's, could have like 10 harley bentons, even 2 American fender strats for the price of one signature gibson flying V. I'm not saying gibson is bad, I'm just saying for the price you have way better options.
qu'est ce qui se passe avec Dave? il a pris trente ans, on dirait l'empereur de Star wars avec une perruque! l'alcool? des ratés de chirurgie esthétique? un abus de retrospective sur la vie de François Mitterrand?
Dave lives right by the headquarters in Nashville. He can simply walk over and discuss stuff with them. I don't know their relationship, but if he is happy, that's what matters.
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.
not the biggest fan of the Explorer style of Headstocks for the Flying totally prefer it with the more rare Les paul/SG headstock type for it or the one with the older 80s design with the Diamond looking head but whatever Hail to the mighty GIBSON i do adore my Black double cut Les paul and my old black SG great for my Goth Doom Metal soul 🖤🤘 also max love and respect for sir Mustaine up there and his glorious Ginger blond long hair of honor
If Gibson had competitive pricing I'd be cool with buying a new Gibson, but they are waaay overpriced...You get so much more for your money with ESP, LTD, Fender, Jackson, etc.
“My relationship with Gibson is better than anyone’s besides Les Paul himself “......really Dave? What about Slash? All these interviews Dave does, he ends up sounding selfish.
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

Perfect interview! Dave is real living legend! What is Your favs from The Sick album??? Mine? We’ll be back!
Brilliant interview Nick!!
My Gibson SG.HP 2019 model with maple tops. Have 24 Cryogenically treated medium frets...Super hard frets
amazing album!!
after years...I think that Megadeth is more Heavy Metal than Metallica
Riff master🤘
Awesome. 🗿
Grim Reaper and Megadeth for life. D🤘O
Dave, I'm pretty sure Slash and Joe Bonamassa have really strong relationships with Gibson, probably stronger than yours... 🤣
Well plus there's Zakk Wylde and Buckethead both guys have had signature Gibson models for the better part of 20 years now.

I agree! It's also easy to notice how happy Dave is now. You can see it when they close the show, and when it's just him and the crowd.
It's temporary Dave will never change

This feels like a bot comment haha
I think I'm a bigger fan of Dave now more than ever. I'm glad he has came out as a normal guy and doing well
Great interview! Thank you for not asking about Metallica in any fashion.
Well yeah that kind of goes without saying. Joey is the only actual singer in terms of the big four.

As a fan from the start, Dave has always been a great guy and im so happy to see he is doing well. Long may he continue 🤘🤘🤘
"This guitar is extremely affordable." Price: S4500 lol.
It's affordable if you're a multimillionaire rock star 😂
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.
Most Megadeth fans can't afford 4,499 for an acoustic but great guitars and video
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 knows his guitars, dude’s awesome.
Gee, maybe Dean guitars should sue Gibson guitars, those inlays look like the Dean Wing emblem!!
The new album is so solid all the best MEGADETH one of my all time favorites!
It’s unreal!! I’m blown away. All their stuff is good but damn!! I feel a lot of kill em all days in that
Nothing about Mustaine and Gibson made any sense, sorry to the fanboys but it just doesn't fit.
Sorry man, the vocal line from Tornado of Souls is one of the best of all time.
Current Megadeth lineup is probably my favorite to date
Fantastic! Nick and Dave Mustaine! Dave is so laid back and has a great sense of humor! His playing, and tone are insane!

Wow. Dave Mustaine is so awesome! That’s why I picked up his 2 signature guitars. The Green V and the Songwriter acoustic. Both are on my channel! 🤘

Doesn't want to gouge his fans? His acoustic is $4500.
Right I ended the video right their anyone who says 4500 dollar guitar is Affordable is sniffing glue

My thirty year old son's take on this when it first came out: "I like my Gibson, I like Dave Mustaine, no problem".
Love Dave but your relationship with Gibson is not even in the same stratosphere as Slash.
Dave lives right by the headquarters in Nashville. He can simply walk over and discuss stuff with them. I don't know their relationship, but if he is happy, that's what matters.
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN LARS.
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.
