Popular singer-guitarist Dave Mustaine has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 65th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Mustaine, a cultural icon

Born David Scott Mustaine in La Mesa on September 13, 1961, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Mustaine's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Dave hasn't done.
