Grammy-winning metal legends Megadeth and their massive headlining 2022 run hit Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on May 5. Before the headbanging started, PG’s Chris Kies talked gear with Megadeth leader Dave Mustaine, who ran down the specs of his signature Gibson Flying V and showed us why it’s the best body shape for ripping onstage. The band’s dangerously dexterous lead guitarist Kiko Loureiro showed off his stash of dashing Ibanez doublecuts. And both players (plus their techs) share insight on downsizing from an Axe-Fx to a gig-bag-friendly Neural DSP Quad Cortex.

ibanez does make amazing metal guitars i feel like they are the 2023 equivelant of kramer in the 80s, the gold standard for super strats and metal guitars! , i still love kramer 2 of my 5 guitars are kramer (gibson-kramers) but still Lol thats because of 1 man Kind Edward lol, but i have a dave mustaine alien tech green vanguard which is the best sounding guitar tone wise i own ( for metal and rock) my 50s Epiphone LP is a master of all trades, and my baretta is kind of a 1 trick pony but it does that 1 thing VERY VERY well but i can still play blues on it but i dont usually lol
when he said his sig pickup is a jb with more oomf more high end and ouput i was like i didnt think that was possible man hahaha i own a jb and it melts my guitar!! but i ordered a kramer vanguard rust in peace super excited for it!!!!!
Great!
Kiko's such a boss! Freakin love that guy
Kiko is a Beast ????
Kiko is amazing. For most ppl there's a little bit of his personality that may get lost in translation, because he's a latino (brazilian); but seriously… the guy is universally a gem.
Dave is just a legend.
I would the say the Explorer is for playing the Mechanix ????..
Why do I feel like ITS NOT the first time gibsons done a 24 fret guitar as Dave says? Just find that hard to believe
I used to have a 24 fret Gibson les Paul double cut.
Flying V. Heaven !!!
Dave is a Legend !!! 100 percent !
25:49 Kiko is clearly NOT a fan of Yngwie lol
I really wish one year Dave went Friedman or Soldano which is a super hot-rodded jcm800. He would never go boogie because of Metallica. But I reckon Engl would make him an insane amp, he should have a signature amp.
Where's Dave's hair?
geezus… that V with the flamed maple top! what a gorgeous instrument! and the rest of them of werent bad either.
MEGADETH!!!for life
daves personality kinda aged better than the other metallica members i feel even tho his looks didnt. bros been through a lot and just seems like such a chill mature dude
Respect as other comments – legend but happy to get down to grass roots and just do the interview himself instead of a tech
HATE the Ibanez headstock.
Nothing plays faster than a Jackson. Maybe an Ibanez, but they have the same neck.
Dave likes that fast Jackson neck. Wide, thin, and flat on the back.
I believe that $2300.00 will get you a Dave Gibson V.
I hope dave is making millions off of any of these dealings… he deserves it…
Mustaine showing his own rig. That's why Megadeth es the greatest thrash band now, the guy is involved and concerned in all things related to the band. No technicians or other people, himself showing everything.
Why on earth have they edited bits out? It ruins the dynamic of the video for me when Dave is mid sentence then the bloody thing jumps to another part without warning….whichever amateur edited this video, do your goddamned job properly ????????????
i love rig rundowns with the actual player! i get that it can be hard to get ahold of them plus the techs probably knowing more than the player, but still i love seeing the actual player!
Arn Anderson is Dave's tech?
Ha! Gibson="The Very Best"? Yeah, not quite. A company that still says their pickups "coil tap" in their literature lol.
When he talked about the explorers his demeanor changed a little. James always on his mind.
Still one of the best rig rundowns, and most I've seen Dave this humble and inviting.
Can’t even find a kiko200 to purchase.
To be honest … I dont like artists who play specific guitar brands just because of business issues.
Dave was playing Dean for so many years … and now he has his own Gibson signatures?
This is so inauthentic.
I wish he'd go back to Jackson, id buy a Jackson KV1 Re-issue in a heat beat ! Each to thier own but I've just always felt Jackson have the best overall looking V bar none.
I will be seeing them live in Tampa with the Original Misfits and Fear June 24th
Looking forward to the show
Mas o Marcelo Barbosa disse que guitarristas bons não usam Les Paul, rsrsrs
????????????! ????????????♂️
stop smoking dope and come back down to earth dave.
Cool interview…nice to see the actual artists give the rundown versus their tech. Wonder what's up with Gibson shipping boxes up top…were some of these guitars just props for the video?
Thank you Dave and Kiko
dave: "and this the core and the fundation of my sound, my soul mate, muy muse, my inspiration, my everything, the boss metal zone"
Dave is definitely drunk lmao
This guy looks a bit like Jon Nödtveidt from Dissection
0:16 one of the best riffs ever of thrash ????
Something I noticed during their live show, no foot pedals on stage.????
King Mustaine. The REAL Riff Lord. Glad he did his own rundown too.
i feel alot better knowing im not the only one who feels tuning a les paul with 3 on each side is a pain lol, can be confusing im used to it now, but i love the strat, 6 in a row style way better
I love Dave, but Gibson? Seriously?
Icon
Best rig rundown behind AC/DC ????????
