But as far as the actual songwriting goes, I feel like a bigger part of the process than what you see with the names." So I was happy to work with Dave writing these riffs and not get credit for it. In a sense, I was reaping the benefits of that without contributing, so I thought that was kind of the trade-off. I had absolutely nothing to do with the establishment of MEGADETH, the first three albums, all of the work that they did, all of the dues that they paid, all of whatever it took to get to where they got. He continued: "But I was happy to be there in the first place and was not going to make waves. He had the luxury of hearing these riffs being born in front of him and changed and worked on and arranged with the three of us around him at all times." To not get writing credit for that, I believed at the time, was unfair because when you are the only name listed as writer on the song, that implies that you came up with the song, you wrote the whole song yourself, and people played it and recorded it the way you wrote it. It was all being created with all four of us giving his ideas life. None of that stuff was written on his own it wasn't like he came up with a riff, an arrangement, and said here it is, learn it, go record it. "We would be his backup band for this riff, and while he was working out the riffs, he had the luxury of us playing it and adding whatever we did. "The main way songs were written in MEGADETH was that Dave would have a riff and he would play it with me, Junior and Nick ," Marty said. In the "Rust In Peace" book, Friedman makes it clear that he felt he should have gotten some credit for helping craft the material for the final album. And I've always tried to do it that way to really include these guys to give them a sense of ownership and tenancy, because I believe it's gonna make them feel stronger about their performance and the music." ![]() I want you to do this.' And then that's my way. And then, if I listen to it and I say, 'You know what? It just isn't working. I like this part, but I don't like it.' And then we do it our way. And I always said, 'We've got three ways we do things: your way, our way and then my way.' We go in and we do a solo, and if I listen to your solo and I don't like it, I'm gonna say, 'I don't like it. In Mustaine's book "Rust In Peace: The Inside Story Of The Megadeth Masterpiece", which details the making of the record, former MEGADETH guitarist Marty Friedman and current MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson both take issue with the fact that Mustaine is credited as the sole songwriter for the majority of the LP's tracks, even though they felt they had contributed to the songwriting process.ĭave told Consequence Of Sound (see video below): "The thing that bothered me is in the beginning of my career, these guys came into the group and I would sing solos to them and they would learn 'em and put their spin on it. I think I did pretty good one this one, so I hope you like it.Įdit: OK, so after I posted the soundclip and uploaded the rig, I played around with it some more and I went into the rig and left all of the settings exactly the same, but I switched the amp to the DC Modern amp and I may like it a bit better myself.In a new interview with Consequence Of Sound, MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine discussed the dispute over the songwriting credits to the band's iconic "Rust In Peace" album. I used the SL100 Drive amp with the Classic 30 cab & Dyn 7 mic off axis, plus the Green JRC distortion pedal and some graphic EQ to dial the tone in. I actually started off with the Randy Rhoads 'Blizzard of Oz' rig that I made and adjusted the settings to get Dave Mustaine's tone. I used the song 'Tornado of Souls' as the basis of the rig, and I imported a short clip of the song into a track and panned it hard left, with me playing the rig panned hard right. At a request over on, I have made a Megadeth rig called 'Rust in Peace' and uploaded it there
