Megadeth vocalist/guitarist Dave Mustaine has hopes that he will one day get a Grammy solely dedicated to his own work. After a dozen nominations, Megadeth finally took home a Grammy earlier this year with their track “Dystopia” earning the ‘Best Metal Performance’. Mustaine still hungers for more however, recently telling The Columbus Dispatch:
“As crazy as I am, I was thinking about the Grammy the other day and (how) it was given to Megadeth. I was thinking it would surely be a lot better if it was given to Dave Mustaine and not to Megadeth. I guess you’ve got to keep the fire burning.”
He also hopes Megadeth will make it into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame as well, offering:
“I’m basically in there with the Metallica thing, that was basically just a diss those guys pulled. But it would nice to be in there on my own two feet. I’m sure at some point it will happen. You can’t create a whole frickin’ music style and not be recognized for it.”
