SLASH Says DAVE MUSTAINE Is 'An All-Time Genius Heavy Metal Guitar Player'

September 6, 2007

Last week, guitarist VELVET REVOLVER/ex-GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Slash was interviewed for the cover of a new Sam Ash catalog. In the interview Slash was quoted as saying, "I still think that [MEGADETH's] Dave Mustaine is an all-time genius heavy metal guitar player. He's amazing and he always picks great guitar players for his band. I don't know the name of the new one [Glen Drover] but he's really good."

Influenced by Tony MacAlpine, Al Di Meola, Randy Rhoads, Greg Howe, George Lynch, Warren DeMartini and David Gilmour, the 38-year-old Drover formed the Canadian thrash/power metal band EIDOLON with his brother Shawn Drover in 1996, releasing seven albums to date.

In 2000, Drover joined KING DIAMOND, and appeared on the "House of God" album. In 2004, Drover joined MEGADETH, bringing along his brother Shawn. Following an extensive world tour, Drover contributed to MEGADETH's latest release, "United Abominations" as the lead guitarist and co-writer on one song.
