Mustaine has one of the greatest stories in all of metal...

He’s one of my favorite players but he does think that he started everyone’s careers and they owe him their lives or he won’t drop the hatred towards you.

I like Dave, I’m a fan of Megadeth and even got to meet that original classic 90s lineup on my 19th birthday and Dave was super cool to me, but I do think he lets his emotions take over him too often and he says some really dumb shit sometimes. I would never say he’s not a great songwriter and a phenomenal guitar player because he is definitely both of those things but he’s got this delusion that Metallica would have never been anything without him in acts like they tried to discredit him. Besides the things they said, within the first year after they fired him, I have never seen them give a public interview were they badmouthed him in a serious manner. I have heard James, Lars, and even Kirk and Jason saying a shit ton of positive things about him. It’s not like they tried to hide the fact which songs he helped write when he was in the band. He’s got a net worth of $17 million in about half of that comes from royalties from Kill Em All and one song he helped co write on Ride The Lightning and on top of that they don’t try to hide it. I mean the list Tim as a writer on the songs on the inside of the album cover. They have done shows with Megadeth in the past, they put that discussion he and Lars had in the movie some kind of monster, they did the Big 4 Shows with him, they had him come out to the 30th anniversary show and perform on stage with them, and when all of those things are going on, he’s happy, but if five or six years goes by Metallica doesn’t invite Dave to do something on camera or do a show with Megadeth then he goes back to the same old stupid shit. It’s not a good look because it makes Dave look like he’s coming off as extremely jealous, and the guy has nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to his music career other than letting his emotions get the best of him and not being able to shut up about Metallica . I mean Megadeth is the second most successful thrash metal band in the world. Not even the mighty Slayer or Sepultura can say that they’ve sold his many albums, or sold his many tickets, or have the main stream success that Megadeth has had. But when Dave says these things about Metallica, it really sounds like he’s not happy with his own achievements.

And YET Rolling Stone did not put him on the TOP 250 Guitarists lists. Like really??????

It shouldn't be a surprise Dave Mustaine is bipolar and a lil off the rails considering the guys history of drug use and being in and out of rehab 15 times. That kind of drug use really does permanently alter your state of mind in some way.

I would like he moves on about his Metallica firing, and also keep an stable lineup

Who doesn't know what Mustaine is like, to be fair you can hear how cranky he is directly from the man himself in most interviews! But Megadeth is his project and ultimately he does have the right to what he wants. I did like the energy of Chris Poland though, but also the beautiful solos of Marty Friedman, very different styles.

Gotta love Dave , he is incredibly talented and I appreciate anybody with such character

I know Dave can be a handful sometimes but do you people feel he has been always fair with those he considered bandmates?

When you see stuff like this, you can understand why he got kicked out of Metallica, he’s a huge control freak.. was a smack head and a general unlikeable person (lead to Metallicas bassist Ron leaving), Also, imagine having the nerve to complain over being fired due to serious drug abuse and unlikeability and then fire your drummer because he has cancer and is in recovery

MegadavE Thanks for uploading/creating this , I really enjoyed it.

I love Megadeth no matter what Dave does!😉

Dave is undoubtedly my fucking hero who inspired me for playing lead guitar but I will not disagree that he had some substance issues and alcoholic persona for almost all time but still he is great musician. He is 10th best metal guitarist of all time by loudwire and honestly, he have changed a lot for many now, he is not as bitter as he was back then but his anger is obvious, Metallica used his songs without his permission in Three albums - Kill èm all - 1. Metal militia 2. Jump in the fire 3. Phantom lord 4. The four horsemen ( Mechanix ) Ride the lightning - 1. Ride the lightning 2. The call of ktulu Master of puppets - 1. Lepper messiah ( The hill runs red ) It is so obvious for the reason. Gar semuelson and Chris Poland sold his gear for drugs. Marty and other have creative differences. Dave got some faults but most of the time he was not the villain. This is my opinion. I respect everyone's opinion. I love Metallica as you can see in my profile picture and I love Kirk Hammett. He is also a great musician.

Right, wrong, I'm the guy with the gun. Dave Mustaine is the netter musician and song writer with better music. The new album is sick!

They can say whatever they want....Mustaine wrote the songs and made em famous.

Dave lives over by me and I see him around from time to time. I've talked to him once and he was a smartass just as he is in the media. But he was nice enough to hold the door open for me at the store. So yup, he's my bitch! Although, he probably expects my unparalleled loyalty.

I mean if I was part of a band and I wrote a chunk of the songs and then got kicked only for them to use it and make a name for themselves bigger than my band I would be bitter for a very long time so I can see where Dave’s bitterness comes from. Whether you like Dave or not. You’ve gotta admit without Dave writing almost all of KEA and half of RTL and I guess a part of leaper messiah (I heard the riff in an early jam session demo video) I would say he deserves far more recognition from people who looks up at Metallica. I listen to Metallica a lot more then Megadeth but gotta give credit where credit is due. Love both bands. Different styles but the same drive that led them to success.

The “Some Kind Of Monster” meeting in 2001 was far from “the first time they met in nearly thirty years”. Firstly, they first met in late 1981, so this 2001 meeting, they hadn’t even KNOWN each other for twenty years yet. Secondly, Megadeth and Metallica played on the same bill in 1985. Lars sang backup vocals for “Anarchy In The UK” at Castle Donnington in 1988. Lars described partying with Dave in the late 80s. Megadeth and Metallica played on the same bill again in 1993 for several shows. That statement about “the first time they met in thirty years” is absurd for a few reasons.

Dave is a famtastic guitarists and songwriter but hes had a chip on his shoulder for a long time and gives himself far too much undue credit but he seems more humble these days anyway
