Kiko Loureiro Answers Fans Questions and Revealing How Dave Mustaine Composes Megadeth Music
Megadeth has been preparing to release its new album, titled “The Sick, The Dying And The Dead“, for a while, its fresh blood guitarist Kiko Loureiro answered some questions that are submitted by fans. During his answering session, the talented guitarist also revealed how Dave Mustaine composes the music of the regarded band among many other things.
Among the questions, Kiko Loureiro was asked if the guitarist/vocalist of Megadeth Dave Mustaine uses music theory to compose the band’s songs. And the regarded band’s fresh guitarist starts answering, by giving a definite rejection. “No. He doesn’t use theory at all — at all,” says Kiko Loureiro and continues to explain how does Dave Mustaine composes Megadeth’s music actually.
“You have to understand that people are different. A creator can play something and just imagine the mountain, the sea, the hell, a war — imagine things, those sounds. He can relate that riff to a machine gun or can relate that riff to a bomb exploding, in the case of Megadeth. But he can play a chord and imagine the mountain, the sun, sailing — whatever. So some people are like this. Some other people, they need the theory — they need the names, they need the things organized to make sense. So that’s why some people really relate to the theory and love theory. I love theory. Some other people don’t feel they need theory to compose, to create, because it’s all about imagination. And, of course, the basic stuff they might know — ‘Oh, this is a major chord,’ ‘This is a minor chord,’ ‘This is the name of the notes, like E, A, D,’ but in the end, it really doesn’t matter as well.”
