DAVE MUSTAINE LIKES SLAYER. NO, REALLY, HE DOES.
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009 at 1:00pm by Axl RosenbergThis Dave Mustaine talking about Megadeth’s recent tour with Slayer. I’ve added some emphasis:
“I’ve gotta tell you, the tour with Slayer was really, really cool. I saw Kerry [King]. Kerry was out watching us last night on two separate occasions, and although I didn’t get a chance to see [Slayer], it was really good to know that the ice is melting. I sent them over a couple of peace offerings on the way from Edmonton to Calgary and those guys had a nice trip on the way down in the bus — we flew.“
I get it. I mean, those dudes over at Terrorizer are always like “Dude! We love your site!” and I’m all “Oh, I don’t read your magazine. But you guys are great.” Then I hop in a cab while they ride on a donkey cart to the show.
Hopefully this tour made everyone enough money that King will ignore it (’cause c’mon, you just know that that dude has a Google alert on his name or some shit) and at some point they’ll do the obvious thing at team up for some U.S. dates.
Either that, or Mustaine will need to take a break from touring in order to have King’s guitar surgically removed from his ass.
There’s a new Megadeth song coming Tuesday. Despite what my snarky attitude towards Mr. Mustaine might suggest, I am actually very excited it hear it.

I know this has dick to do with the article, but the header under the metalsucks banner is the best one you guys have had yet.
While I’m sad that my ‘metal e-penis’ reference is now gone, I have to agree with you. Hilarious.
Mustaine might be the #1 guitaristn that new book…but he’ll always be the # true prick in metal…fuckin Slayer destroys Megadeth anyday, just for their integrity…ego-maniacal, sore losing prick, I swear…how can you be ljealous of metallica…when they suck as much dick as he does…there’s no second place, in a dick-sucking contest that is…
T
all of slayers albums albums sound the same.
you can be jealous of metallica because their first five albums are some of the best if not the best metal albums ever released.
so true
and metallica is dick-high in money
for Metallica – - first three granted,,,til Cliff passed on…altho, I personally love Justice…anything after isn’t that great, sorry…asfor rolling in money…FUCK THAT, I’d rather be broke and have some self integrity, retire before cashing in on a BRAND name, not a real band anymore…
for Megadeth – - Peace Sells..defintiely R.I.P…but now he’s cashing in as well
leaving SLAYER…I don’t even need to explain…just watch them go..AND KEEP GOING!! I
f you can’t tell the, perhaps the subtle, differences b/w the albums, then you’re not a true fan of the band
Mustaine just can’t resist it. Every single time he plays the bitch card.
Always entertaining to read though…
I can’t think of any other musician that would make really good music(with some exceptions), while being total douche, bitch and pussy. It’s getting pretty pathetic.
I’m sorry, but I don’t see this as a dick move. He complemented them, and you don’t know what went on behind the scenes as to why Dave didn’t see them. And maybe they flew because of schedule restrictions that didn’t allow them time to travel by bus. And yes, I am a die hard megadeth fan, but I’m also a die hard slayer fan.
Yeah coming from Dave Mustaine, that’s a big compliment. He sure is a grumpy bastard, but who gives a shit? Megadeth fuckin’ rules.
he actually was being nice but you assholes had to twist his words to fit your fight that u want him to have
fuckyou
fuck you
fuck you
dave, youre cool
Mustaine apparently does not know the difference between giving a compliment and being a condescending asshole.
Mustaine is genuinely unable to NOT be a douche. It’s really quite remarkable. He simply cannot do it. I’ve never seen anything like it. Any wonder why this guy can’t keep a steady band line-up or a marriage together?
I think I know why Axl and Vince won’t reveal their identities. It’s because they are chicks. How else do you explain the gossip to metal ratio on this site?
Except we all know what Axl looks like now thanks to a video interview he did recently….
That was just a stand in
If recent shows I’ve seen by both Mustaine and Slayer are any indication, Mustaine actually still likes playing live while King is the most bored, barely-going-through-the-motions rock musician on the planet. And his bandmates rate barely 1 higher on the performance meter.
you have a point. araya was reasonably charismatic, but he didnt really do anything except throw his picks into the pit. mustaine chatted and showed off and everything you could ask for. but i blamed the fact that slayer played first.
Mustaine must have magic bodyguards or something…how come he never totally gets his ass kicked? Like that time in Ireland when he shouted ‘Sinn Fein!’ at a concert….dude’s lucky charmed.
Just seen Slayer and Megadeth in Calgary. Slayer was boring and sloppy IMO. I was hoping for Slayter to kill it but felt disapointed being a huge fan. Megadeth and Chris Broderick were tighter than a nuns cunt. MachineHead killed but only played for a around 30 minutes. Suicide Silence were a joke. Don’t get why or how they sell the amount of records they do. Every song – Chug chug chug – chuga chuga chuga Chug chug chug – wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! PIG squeal…. Anyways Tom and Kerry looked uninterested as I will be with the new Slayer Album.
Yeah I saw Slayer in Ottawa on their last tour with Unearth and it was so boring. Nothing will ever match the 2 hour set I saw them play in 2000 with Machine Head.
in 6 months he’ll write some christian tinged blog posting going on about “forgiveness” or some such hollow bullshit. maybe he’ll bawl about how he wants his “bald akita breeding l’il buddy back”. ugh, just retire please…
Sometimes even great bands have their bad days, I suppose, after reading some of the comments, that maybe because they went on before Megadeth, they were not feeling it, as someone pointed out, there are numerous reasons, which we might not be aware of, however in the aforementioned book in my first comment, Mustainepersonally actually admits his arrogance ,,,great musician he may be, it does not change the simple fact that HE IS a condescending asshole “…those guys had a nice trip on the way down in the bus — we flew.“ = asshole basking in self-proclaimed victory…I guarantee there were some killer Slayer shows put on whil Mustain & Co. were still recovering from bullshit like Cryptic Writing and Risk…
p.s. Suicide Silence are following trends too fast…no one will rmmbr that shit a decade later.
p.s.s. MACHINE HEAD kick ass \.,/
Megadeth rules live, and they’re far more talented musicians than Slayer, an asshole he may be…Mustaine can write some damn catchy metal…
:-)
I like this post…everyone pretty much made a solid point, however, in relation to the whole subject heading / topic of the conversation…Mustaine DOES NOT like Slayer, and he made it quite clear…I think Kerry King could be right there too..with his arrogance or lack of interest, etc…can’t really say much about the rest of the band members in the ‘Deth camp…revolving door…but I really like Araya & Lombardo…they always seem like they’re down to earth and wouldn’t say anything shitty in public about their peers [I could be wrong, speculating..], evidently a sense of professionalism that Mustaine apparently lacks from day one…their skills as musicians were not in question here.
I was at the Calgary show.
Pretty much the consensus from everyone there I talked to was:
1. Machine Head fucking ruled! But their set was waaaay too short! And everyone who didn’t know about them before the show was a fan after the show.
2. Slayer just wasn’t into it. They were on autopilot and dissapointed a lot of fans.
3. Megadeth put on a great show (I don’t really like 80’s hair metal, but they had their game on that night)
4. Suicide silence was forgettable
I would definitely pay retarded amounts of $ to see Machine Head again!
But the fact that I just bought Killswitch Engage/ In Flames tickets for HALF the price, made this show not worth the ticket price.
