'''Dave Mustaine''' is the lead singer and guitarrist of [[Heavy Metal]] band [[Megadeth]]. He was born in [[La Mesa]], [[California]] in 1961, he was one of the founding members of [[Metallica]], but was then ejected because of his [[addiction]] to [[heroin]].
His lyrics are characterized by an aggressive temper, especially toward authorities (he even made a cover of ''Anarchy in the U.K.'' by ''Sex Pistols'').
After he was found driving under the influence and after a recent accident for which he had risked to lose his ability to play guitar, Mustaine decided in 2002 to convert to [[Christianity]] and has since been an advocate of [[family]] values. However, he is continuing to criticize authorities such as the [[United States]] government and the [[United Nations]].
He expresses clearly his ideas toward the [[United Nations]] in the song ''United Abominations'' of his last album:
<div bgcolor="#ff0000">
:Within striking distance from Ground Zero sits a smoldering international cauldron, the United "Abominations" as it were. Born to prevent wars, it froze in the face of disaster and stood silent while terrorization to hostage of the world
:In a mire of hypocrisy, the U.N. ignores sex crimes by its "blue helmets", and enables terrorism; so in the end it's failed and the U.N. is where our so-called friends get to stab us in the back and we pay 22% of their tab to host our enemies here at home.
:Ambassadors from countries enjoy otherwise known as a catastrophe, enjoy Diplomatic immunity living in Manhattan, while their children are turned into prostitutes It's a complete and utter disgrace, a blot on the face of humanity, and they get away with it.
</div>
He is also very critical of [[Iraq war]] and U.S. intervention abroad, e.g. in the same song as above:
:I fear to undo the failings in Iraq, Iran, and Korea
:You may bury the bodies
:But you can't bury the crimes only
:Fools stand up and really lay down their arms
His recently acquired political ideas have been compared to the positions of a conservative American organization
