QUESTION OF THE WEEK: DAVE’S NOT HERE MANBanner by Cysquatch

Everybody’s entitled to an opinion, no matter how misguided or poorly wrought. But how does it make u feel when a band dude or band of dudes uses concert time to spout off on their own bullshit? Is it not only misuse of your ticket dollar but also needlessly divisive and usually a total bummer? What about interviews? Is personality part of the package? Does any of this even apply to the powerfully tiresome groan-bot cranktard at the center of today’s MetalSucks Question Of The Week, a weekly survey of our staff on a recent hot-button issue that’s rocking our metal planet?

Fearless. Controversial. Half-baked. We give it to you straight every Friday afternoon. But only as straight as Führer Barack Obama will allow. Here’s this week’s question:

***

Inspired by the persistant wingnut blathering of a perennially cracked but once-tolerated metal icon, we asked our staff the following question:

Are u at the end of your patience for Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine’s socio-political statements?

Wat u think? The MS staff’s expert answers after the jump!

To the average Joe 30-Rack, I’m really liberal. Legalize marijuana, let gays marry, let the government pay for health care, raise taxes on all who can pay them, non-whites are awesome, and so on. So I could get mad, but who the fuck cares what Dave Mustaine says? It’s repugnant shit, true, but he’s entitled to say it. And he’s no more incendiary than any other uninformed idiot. Maybe I am coming from a place of empathy, and the knowledge that people on his side of the aisle had to endure red-faced anti-Bush screeds for eight years. Or maybe it’s because I’m a fan of Burzum and Satanic Warmaster: Bands I love always say ridiculous shit that I simply ignore with a wince. Or maybe I just don’t fucking care.

Megadeth sucks and Dave Mustaine is an embarrassment. All I can say about that is, Fuck you and the shitty band you rode in on, you ginger bastard.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: DAVE’S NOT HERE MANLEYLA FORD
You know how fans that are truly diplomatic (read: deluded, desperate, other disparaging d-words) like to insist that it’s unfair to compare David Lee Roth-era Van Halen to Van Hagar? And early In Flames to present-day In Flames? Yeah, same situation with Dave Mustaine. Except he was never sane, he just likes to test all waters in the Sea Of Batshitness. But it’s sad that the phrase I utter most these days isn’t “I love you” or anything sweet like that — it’s “Shut up, Dave Mustaine.”

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: DAVE’S NOT HERE MANANSO DF
Omg I feel for Dave Mustaine. He does not enjoy life and is ruled by envy for those who do. Imagine him at an awesome party. He started down the path to fun by attending, but once at the jam he got too chicken to step over the small obstacles between him and a good time: He gives in to those normal flashes of fear that nobody wants him there, then forces shut all vaginas in proximity with statements that he knows to be ludicrous but are productive in “demonstrating” his intellect (he’s privy to the truth about that maniac Barack Obama) and in expressing his cowardly alienation (his pain is caused by our negligence). Take this latest episode: A shoe was thrown at him — international shorthand for You Are A Fuckwit — and, butt aflame with soreness, Dave initiated his praise cultivation regimen. Ugh that’s what loudmouth hate-mongers do best: Bring the party down to match their pussy-ass misery, the strain that any child with a shred of backbone would conquer. He’s metal’s own Rush Limbaugh. What a sour, sorry presence in our world. But hey, I hear he might move to Singapore!

Deicide’s Glen Benton got it right back in April: Mustaine is a “prolapsed rectum.”

Honestly, Mustaine has become a reliable douchelord like Ted Nugent. Best to just ignore his idiotic banter.

Oh lol Dave Mustaine. Scorn and spite drove his band to excellence, but he didn’t cut loose of that strategy before it drove him to being an insufferable blowhard. I bet no day passes when Kirk Hammett doesn’t say to his Metallica bandmates, “You’re welcome!” And hey let the rest of us learn from his horrible example! Or not!! Have an awesome wknd :)))
