Mick Taylor
Mick Taylor, a product of John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers school of producing rock guitar gods, was the blues virtuoso Mayhall was looking for. Taylor stayed with The Rolling Stones until 1974, proving that he was a cross between Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. Taylor, according to Slash, the guitarist for Guns N’ Roses, had the greatest influence on him as an artist.
Dave Mustaine
Metallica’s first lead guitarist was Dave Mustaine. He was born in the California community of La Mesa. Due to his drinking, drug addiction, hostility, and feuds with Metallica members James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, Mustaine was sacked from the band on April 11, 1983. Despite this, he had a successful career as a result of the band he established, “Megadeth,” where he was noted for both singing and playing fast, outstanding lead lines. Isn’t it amazing?!
