…AND ANOTHER THING ABOUT DAVE MUSTAINE
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009 at 11:30am by Axl RosenbergWhile I’ve been defending Roadrunner Records against Dave Mustaine, there’s been drama brewing in the Megadeth camp.
It all started when Mustaine gave a video interview to a Norway’s Lydverket blog. The half-hour long conversation was edited down to about four and half minutes for its final presentation, and a portion of that was devoted to Mustaine talking, for the trillionth time just this year, about being fired from Metallica. (This time he blamed it on the fact that he apparently decked James Hetfield back in the day for kicking his dog, because, y’know, Hetfield is a puppy-hating asshole and Mustaine is a saint and nothing is ever his fault.) And for reasons not entirely clear to me, Mustaine was seriously offended by the final video, and threatened that “as soon as I see that interviewer again, I am going to put him in a hospital.” (The journalist in question was actually a woman, but, hey, it’s hard to remember the little details when you never think about anything but yourself.)
Well, a full, unedited version of the interview has been released now, and as it turns out… Mustaine is the one who brought up Metallica. Mr. “I Don’t Want to Talk About Metallica Anymore.” Yes, the interviewer asks him to elaborate on his point a little, but he basically just starts talking about them, and going on and on and on… and then he brings up the whole Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame thing, which he was never asked about… I mean… Kerry King was right: give this dude some rope and he will hang himself. I’d call the dude an asshole, but really, this is just sad. Because Dave Mustaine is that guy who never got over his girlfriend leaving him, even though it was a million years ago and he’s now married to someone else.
Go to roughly the fifteen minute mark to see Mustaine bring up Metallica.
Now, in all fairness, Mustaine kinda-sorta-apologized for his ranting and raving, but… I dunno. We all know that something else will piss him off again fifteen minutes from now, and that something else will piss him off fifteen minutes after that, and so on and so forth for ever and ever and ever until he dies. That’s just the way Mustaine is. If it wasn’t over this interview, it’d be over another interview.
In other news, Dave Mustaine now apparently loves Kerry King and hates Blessed by a Broken Heart. I guess I can get behind that.

used to wonder why mustaine’s eyes were always sort of puffy. not the drugs, not the alcohol, but apparently, it’s from crying himself to sleep every night.
I laughed.
boy i hope 25 years from now i still bitch about getting fired from my first job. what a bitch. i can’t stand listening to him. it’s unfortunate because MD has some killer songs. hard not to picture him though when i’m listening to them.
HHGG reference in the title? or am I just to manic?
Bah, in the end all that really matters is the music. This TMZ shit belongs on: http://i.imagehost.org/0883/blabberlogo_v2_0.gif
Dave Mustaine has some problems, obviously. But to his credit he does seem to be working on them. For all of his contributions I won’t bag on him, and I think Endgame is pretty good.
Has his bio come out yet? I sure that it will be a hilarious read….
I wanna hear more about the BBABH drama, myself.
this complex that he has where everybody is out to get him and the world is against him is definitely part of what make shim a great musician. so you have to take the good with the bad
im really getting tired of this dude. the fuckers on blabbercock post every lil bitch hes does. this dude has to learn to close his mouth.
I’m thinking that this is their way to get his name out there. It might be an inside collaboration between Mustaine and RR. Have you noticed that all of this excessively random Dave Mustaine talking/articles started around the time Endgame was about to be released? Not so random anymore IMO…
What’s next? Dave blaming his lack of album sales on Metallica?
IMO, Dave blames the recession on Metallica
…and global warming….
and AIDS
and the 2004/05 hockey strike
XD, Blessed by a Broken Heart. They’re really terrible beyond the normal realms of terrible. I’m actually surprised that MS doesn’t like them, considering that they like Steel Panther. It’s steel Panther plus shitty core! That’s like the perfect formula for MS!
Also, on topic: lol, Dave Mustaine
Aren’t they a Christian band too? Wondering what “racist” comments they said about his tech. If that is true, not very “Christian” of them. And yes, I agree with SHOCKTROOP.
Mustaine is starting to remind me of Michael Jackson, the way he makes dramatic statements at the end of statements, emotion high in his voice, and then just leaves it hanging there in awkward silence.
Basically it sounds like the soul of Michael Jackson has entered Dave Mustaine, so to speak.
Granted, he’s far more intelligent, funny, articulate and talented than MJ ever was, but the paranoia and high morals are really taking over these days – Surely a matter of time till the “it’s ignorance, they’re being ignorant!” interview ;)
“Tamtarlatta (or something like that)/My dick died/My dick died/COCAINE”
Wow, so, uh… Dave Mustaine’s one of those North American Union paranoiacs, huh? OH NOES THE AMEROOOOOOOO.
(CANYONEROOOOOOOO)
Megadave at his best.
This guy is such a character, I love it.
I fucking hate Dave Mustaine and his shitty band. GO FUCK YOURSELF YOU FUCKING OLD IDIOT.
Boy, it must’ve come down to either James firing Dave for punching him, or totally beating him to a fucking pulp…maybe he made the wrong choice lol
I love how he mentions Zeitgeist when it totally shits on christianity the the first third of the film, howd he miss that part?
The man is a total village idiot on a world wide scale.
Metallica > Megashite
“as soon as I see that interviewer again, I am going to put him in a hospital.”
Nice. Fucking. Christian.
could be worse, he could lure children to his basement to touch them under the impression they are going to take part in a rock school, that would be the christian thing to do.
oh wait.
He could be a republican…
Yknow, i wasnt too privy to the Dave Mustaine/ Metallica Feud until i saw Some Kind of Monster. I knew Dave had been fired from Metallica for boozin, ok fine. When i sa SKOM i REALLY felt for Dave, i wanted him to be the underdog who comes back and smokes everything Metallica does/did. (Some kind of Monster was also the catalyst for me SERIOUSLY not liking Metallica anymore) I wish that he would rise above this petty bullshit and let the music he creates speak for itself. No, he pulls this same dramatic bullshit every couple years to pull in press. Its getting fucking old and as far as feeling sorry for dave, nah not a chance anymore. He’s dug his own grave.
We care.
No intellectual retort? Big grammar doesnt mean big Brains.
Does the change in your name mean you’ve brought yourself down here to the dare i say it..”neandrethal” level that you loathe?
Wow.
If you were actually smart, you would have realized that the two word post was just to draw attention to my name. If you call me a neanderthal, then certainly you must be one as well? As you may have seen in any of my numerous arguments, I like to mock people’s pointlessly immature and retarded arguments by exaggerating them and throwing them right back at that, further revealing the stupidity behind it. My new name does the same. It’s obviously a response to you, yet it also highlights the immaturity of your name change. Really now, you sound like a 12 year old who just learned all of the “COOL NEW CUSS WORDS.”
BLAH BLAH BLAH-BLAH (insert big word) BLAH BLAH BLAH-BLAH BLAH (insert big word) BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH (Im only 20 yrs old) BLAH BLAH (still a virgin)
Thats literally all i hear when you talk shit to everyone on this site.
Your opinion is truly your own but you truly DO NOT know your ass from a hole in the ground.
Axl and I started MetalSucks in December 2006 because there was no online heavy metal community where intelligent, thoughtful discussion took place; so we decided to create our own. We gandered that amidst the meat-heads we saw at most metal shows there were thinkers like us who put as much time, energy and thought into the music we love as we did. Furthermore, the blogosphere was crowded with indie rock blogs but nothing for metal, and the only metal communities consisted of shit-talking Blabberbrats. So we gave it a go and here we are, and here you are; so I guess we were right. Thanks so much for visiting, being a part of our community, and breaking the stereotype that metalheads are a bunch of ignorant neanderthals.

Way to break the stereotype and not be a “meat-head,” “shit-talking Blabberbrat.”
Your retorts just get dumber and dumber. Have fun with that GED of yours.
So how many times are you going to Pull that quote from Vince and AXL?
Its ok Junior, youll go through puberty one day.
So because i drink beer, LOVE Pantera, and totally think you are a pre-pubescent, CHODE. I have a GED?
Dude, you’re not getting it. You have a VAST vocabulary, you wow us all with your opinions day in day out. Thats it. The only reason you think you are special is because MS let you run the site. I guess that gave you some sort of god complex……..
Walk on Home CHODE.
I have 3 words for both of you. Smoke a blunt.
So how many times are you going to Pull that quote from Vince and AXL?
Whenever I find the site or its users to be doing something so completely retarded that pulling the silly mission statement just makes them look even more retarded.
So because i drink beer, LOVE Pantera, and totally think you are a pre-pubescent, CHODE. I have a GED?
You sound the the archetypal person who would have a GED.
I’m not special, I just happen to be smarter than the rest of the MS commenters. That really isn’t much of an accomplishment on my part tbqh, since you”re all pretty dumb.
I’m ignoring all of this, comments included. He made Peace Sells.
True, very true.
I love Megadeth, but Dave Mustaine is a douche bag and also proves to be an idiot. 9/11 an inside job? Zeitgeist? Christ.
Dude… thats the only part that proves him Not to be an idiot about this ordeal. I was blown away that he actually made reference to that, good on him. I just don’t get how he can be a christian while watching and understanding things like Zeitgeist or Alex Jones…
I have seen literally every piece of Zeitgeist thoroughly debunked. Go hit the bong again.
Fuck off yer Bush supporter, there’s never been proof great enough to be called that especially in debunking zeitgeist…go and invent something elswhere…!!!
It’s only fitting that the topmost ad just now was for Endgame.
