Its sad to see him this old. But he is a legend. And he never cut his hair. He still shreds and still tours which is crazy

[@EgoChip]

Age is an achievement, especially for someone with his former lifestyle. So many people in his industry, even former band members of his, have left us prematurely. Mustaine himself even came very close to it. He is one of the lucky ones. Be glad to see him alive and well and making music, even if he is really old!

[@MoveitorLoseit2]

Its very sad for me because I still remember the 1990s. How he was back then. Time goes by so fast. Even 12 years ago when I met him in person he looked much better. We don't have very long before we become old and wrinkled & a shell of our former selves.

[@Mark.13.]

What how is age a sad thing ? wtf man

[@ChaosPootato]

You should be glad to see him this old, he could be dead and not making music right now

[@DaveMoth]

In a way it's a good thing to see him this old. He survived all sorts of personal issues earlier in his life overcame them then beat cancer recently. Megadeth are just about to release a new album and are touring. Mustaine is alive and kicking in his 60s still shredding, nothing sad about that.

[@rebellyanmagic6409]

Mustaine managed to look more or less the same after 1986, then one bout of cancer and he looks so much older than his peers.

tbh, he started looking old after 2010. His voice became deeper, more wrinkles on his face, then a bit later there was the cancer stuff...

[@Lord_Aghast]

James seems like the perfect bass player for the band tbh. He’s solid, reliable, plays finger style, seems like a real chill dude, seems like a home run to me. Dirk might be the best drummer Megadeth has ever had, and that’s an extremely tall order to fill. He seems to have the technique of someone like Gar but the ferocity and precision of Nick. Kiko somehow manages to straddle that line of the best lead guitar player, we all love the classics of course, but Kiko is seriously terrifying on the fretboard and plays all of the older solos maybe the best they’ve ever been played, not to mention Kiko is a total sweetheart. And lastly we have Dave. He seems to be in good spirits and getting better since his sickness. I think it’s safe to say Dave managed to become one of the best rhythm guitarists in thrash metal, I go to Metallica for the mainstream, Slayer for the evilness, and Megadeth for the technique, no one in the scene can really touch Dave. Megadeth are still the kings of the genre 👑

Me too!

[@slainbanshee5454]

My exact thought after seeing him live yesterday was that I couldn’t believe that he sounded almost as good as he did 35 years ago

[@yuri-ub8kk]

"The pets wont say, IM FUCKED" hahahha i love dave, and how he explains things

[@trevormcshane4986]

First band I ever saw live way back in 88or 89 in Dublin,, hooked ever since,, I hav all the Albumbs,, ,,,👍👍👍👍👍

[@codydisney6130]

Absolutely one of my favorite musicians of all time!!!

[@Nunya_Bidnez]

David is a GOD. Good to know he is safe after his bout with Cancer

[@nanideckard]

Much respect for Dave. He's done it all in Metal and he's still around to kick some ass. He might not be on his best shape, but who the f*ck would be after going through so much, and who the f*ck cares?

[@dominicponcho4570]

Dave looks/sounds a little buzzed but good for him. After all he’s been through, he deserves a nice beer glow. Rock on Dave! 🤘🏼

[@cimob3935]

Thank you Dave for giving all of us in the Megadeth family everything you had all these years. You are the goat and we love you !

[@tammiec4937]

I would only hope to see them! I love this band. Wow I can’t believe he is still alive and shredding.🤘🤘With all do respect Dave you are amazing. I’m excited for the new album.

[@durrclips746]

He looks 10 years older than he did even a month ago on the Cameo videos he did for fans.

August 9th 2001 best concert ive ever been too,Megadeth at the St james theatre auckland NZ..will never forget this night,hope to see them back this way with there new tunes,Dave,You are a legend!

[@RowdyGrunt]

I know ole boy Graham won't ever see this, but damn... it has been really cool to see him evolve in the role he is playing so damn well. It's obvious he's prepared to have the interview, the questions are fantastic, and they draw out kick ass responses. Legit journalism. Glad he's doing it for metal. Well done G

[@hinjurock70]

Graham responds to comments occasionally.

[@bradyfisher2115]

Damn Dave is showing his age in this, sure it won’t stop the record from being kick ass tho🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@kennethwilson7621]

Dave' an slash were my inspirations to play guitar..Dave is the best metal song writer of all time

[@michaellaughlin8457]

it’s looking that way Dave your in a time capsule keep that blood flowing my friend the world needs more music from ya dude ✌️👍

[@ameliarhodes5000]

Dave was higher than a kite! Good for him.

[@H.E.M.]

I can’t wait for the new album but I wonder how his vocals are gonna sound because his voice sound fried and more tired than in 2016 with dystopia.

[@nairamdiam]

He tries his best at records. Here or live, he sings „economically” to save his voice for more

[@amostlyreasonableguy]

I hope he just embraces it like he did on a song like Post American World. No need to go for the high notes, just grit it out and do what’s comfortable.

[@H.E.M.]

@@amostlyreasonableguy that’s what I’m thinking too bro. When it sounds like his regular voice and not that raspy nasally voice he does when singing the old songs live.

[@jy2567]

Saw them a few months ago. He sounded fine live.
