- Legendary Megadeth founder Dave Mustaine joined Johnny Doom on a bench backstage at Download Festival 2022 for a chat about everything from their new album 'The Sick, The Dying… and The Dead!' being "really really aggressive", to Dave's recovery from cancer, his love for Cliff Burton's bass playing ability and his disdain for certain big bands who lip sync: "If you can play it live, you're being f---ing lazy!"... 👀

he got cancer and he still has that beautiful hair what a legend
Well he probably didn't get radiation on his head but around his neck, so it's more likely that his beard is uneven. Kemo affects men different than women. I've been through the ringer and the fatique kemo brings is really a heavy experience. It's also hard on the teeth, so extra care must be on good dental hygiene onwards. FWIW
@@christianboddum8783 my dad said it pretty much like you, the cure is worse than the curse, I'm happy for you, my dad lost the fight
Seriously! Bless his soul! And at that age! Whoa!
Dave should Market MEGADETH SHAMPOO!
@@christianboddum8783 you’re so strong i’m happy that you survived all that
I was a driver for Megadeth once. I was warned that Dave can be a bit cranky and to watch my driving lol. Him and the other band members were super cool. He even thanked me for the ride which not many celebrity artists do. Thank YOU for decades of music Dave 🤘
I remember when I was a kid at a gas station/McDonald's stop or something on a backpacking trip with the scouts in the country and there was a big tour bus rv outside that was parked. We walked in and he was walking out going back. I didn't know Megadeth at the time, but when we left one of the kids was like.. that was Dave mustaine from Megadeth! I even remember the tallness and big gorgeous hair. Good memory. I have even see him live since, and it was a great show, of course.
@@chrisclawson296 yeah my bro used to work the Wendys drive thru and served them when they were in town for Monsters of Rock in Denver... woulda been during the Rust in Peace tour. So he calls me up knowing I was a huge fan to gloat saying "yeh Megadeth just came in" and im like GTFO!!!!
I saw them play in Nashville during the Cryptic Writings tour. I got to hang out with him before the show, and he even teased my friend who was star struck. Lol He was super cool, signed some Megadeth cards for me and got Marty to sign one as well.
Right on bro, sounds like a cool gig!
Met him once after one of his gigs in the mid 90s when I was 12 or so. There was a food drive where if you donated enough canned goods you could meet the members of the band. There were a lot of people there and a lot of other artists could have just been hurrying to get through everyone and get out of there but he was gracious, super nice, and had a moment with each person. Even as a young kid that stood out to me. Great dude and still my single favorite metal musician of all time.
Dave‘s voice sounds surprisingly good on this tour
His voice has been improving slowly after throat cancer. Takes time to get back into form. He’s definitely improving. Same happened with Bruce Dickinson. He sounds great again these days.
Maybe it healed to the point that it fixed other issues he had with his voice
@@MetaITurtle only thing that could work on those issues would be quitting smoking. I think he did quit a few years ago, so that might be why. Rob Halford started gradually improving like crazy after quitting.
His voice for me detracts from music
They’ve been down-tuning lately. Dystopia was recorded mostly tuned down a whole step & I’m pretty sure it’s transferred over to the new album & their live performances for most of, if not their entire set list. I’m sure it’s helped Mustaine a lot.
My mom just bought me a dave signature dean, i feel so grateful for it and i love my mother so much
They sound great and play🤘
Do it justice my friend. Get to rockin'
Get a room
@@Tobinator127 🤨?
I like Dean guitars but hate DMT pickups.
The new single is an ASS KICKER. This the most positive interview I've seen with Dave. Still at the top of his game. Good on ya
Yeah except for the part where he rips on drummers that like to hit the gym. Life is too short to have puny arms if you can do something about it. Not to mention drumming is very hard on the body. Everyone that works out and stays fit will be thankful they didn’t go the lazy and easy route and NOT go the gym.
@@rozza105 I hope that’s what he’s trying to say. I mean he mentions that he works out himself and trying to stay healthy in many newer interviews so he would be a hypocrite if he meant otherwise.
Dave is a hard worker. He came a long way. He earned his spot in the music scene. Respect!!!
I would say he's a legend to many of us, the dude is a modern day Bach in my book
He's a a fn legend period!
Yeah, people say a lot of things about Dave but one thing he is not is lazy. His tenacity/drive has kept him alive and still making music. Pretty cool.
He's a Metal legend not just thrash
I wonder if Dave likes conscious hip hop im a fan of wutang and chino xl and Kool g rap and tribe called quest and I’m also a massive megadeth fan
I think Dave might have the wrong perception of hip hop heads
I dress like a regular metal head but I
Happen to love both rap and metal
Cliff was fantastic. And he was a very deep, deep bass player as far as talent goes.
- Dave Mustaine (on Cliff Burton).
Dave’s brought a lot of music to this world. I enjoy listening to him speak these days and his book is fantastic. Especially the part about redemption. Love it…..
Which book?
He seems much more mellow than I remember.
Who would have thought Dave, back in the day would still be touring aged 60. He’s an underrated lyricist in Rock music in general
Who else has the balls to write "If you shake my hand / better count your fingers" #legend
Right???
seriously its not talked about enough but megadeth legitimately has some of best lyricism in metal
He had to reteach himself guitar. That's the craziest part, too me.
00:00 - Intro
00:45 - Cancer
01:45 - Dirk & James LoMenzo (and the cliff burton clickbait at 3:14)
03:43 - Backing vocals & lip syncing
05:08 - New album & new bands
Thanks, you da dude
Yea it is quite long isn't it
give this man a keg!
I really cringe when interviewers ask why did it take so much to make the album in a such aggressive manner like “we deserve an album, why didn’t you lazy bastard make us an album faster?!” While they never even mention or consider Dave had cancer…
@Dave Scott Mustaine I don't know if they ever read your reply. Glad that you are healthy Dave we need you.
@@420slayer3 He did seem a bit cranky in that comment. 🤷🏻♂️
So excited for the new album! So proud of Dave
Protect Dave at all cost! Once in a lifetime gem
Dave's voice, energy and attitude is like we're back in time. So good to see him having a new album and something to say 🤘
So happy to see Mustaine good and still riffing at 60. Thanks for the interview. May he tours for the many years to come !
I fell in love with Megadeth in 1986 at 7 yrs old.
I found them early in life too. Wouldn't change it
Me at 2006 also at 7yo...🤘🏼🔥
Yep. PSBWB cassette tape... was a WOW!
@@richarddean1453 same young metal head in the 80's
My all time favorite guitar player, my all time favorite musician! 🤘🤘✌️
Idem!
I agree 🔥🔥🔥👊🏼
Agreed
Can't wait for full album in September!! Dave's rocken it!! People say you Can't be Christian and play Metal Well... Dave Mustaine does!! Love Megadeth!!
Ofcourse you can
Metal is universal
It should be released on September 13th.
Metal wen u really think of it, is Christian u know? People cannot deny it and while mindless bands like slayer have chosen the enemy and have retired Mega Dave even after cancer is still playing hard as ever. That is a blessing!
@@joeychicago6322 slayer is mindless? Cladsic metallica fsnboy
@@ArturHedlund actually I'm more of the Megadeth guy, hello... Seriously what important views do they sing about and no satanism isn't important. Only two good albums reign and seasons that's it, the rest is just a repeat over and over...
Dave Mustaine is one of my all time favorite persons, he has the x factor and he knows it. There is nothing wrong about that at all. I think most people downtalk him because of rumours and hearsay. They don't get the whole point as to why he does what he does. If you want to make it in this business, you kinda have to be hard, have an ego, and all this be nice to people does NOT cut it at all.. Stand your ground, do what you want to and don't care what others think about you and your music.
I love that Dave still rocks his hair like it's 1989! He's beautiful 🤘🖤🤘
Such a wise guy Dave is, excited for the new music 😁
I LOVE Dave Mustaine. The dude ALWAYS speaks his mind.
Love how he talks about getting saved which is what got him sober, Stay strong Dave and keep thrashing out the hits.
As if being arguably the most prolific musician in an entire genre isn't enough, the man just got his BJJ purple belt. That's an extremely dufficult physical and mental endeavor that the vast majority of BJJ practitioners will never acheive. To do that at 58 and having recently recovered from cancer is nothing short of amazing.
Can’t wait to hear Dirks Drumming in the new album.
I was there watching when a huge jet flew over the stage, into the direction of the crowd at the beginning of Megadeths set that Dave mentions here. It was INSANE.
They’ve been on another level this tour and the first single is unreal. Most excited I’ve been for an album in a very long time. Best metal band of all time for me. Love ya Dave! 🤘
They are good however not the best that's metallica well the first 5 albums at least
Metallica will never be better than Megadeth. Megadeth continues to play Metal when Metallica hasn't in years... JS.
Dave's never covered shit with the likes of Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus.... He pulled in Christina Scabbia. So, Megadeth is #1.
@@Ace13Drums 125 million copies sold worldwide for Metallica. Like 38 million for megadeth. I think metallica is better that's my opinion but I do like megadeth
@@Ace13Drums 🙌🏽
@@michaelmyers4053 I see what you did there. I mean Nickelback and MGK sell alot of albums too, but... that don't make them any less not worth a shit. People will buy garbage. By no means am I calling Metallica garbage as I am a Huge Fan... Just Megadeth has been consistent when it comes to actually releasing METAL Albums.
The first single from the "Sick" kicks ass..Im expecting some proper proper Deth out of this!
Dave is great, Megadeth never changed their music, true kings of thrash🤘🏻🤘🏻
They did change their music a lot. And that's a good thing.
o they changed but its recognizable.Dave never wanted to make the same album as before.but at the same time you get some of the same elements.at least they didnt go rocktallica for 30 years
@@thrashingjedi72 .. Not for lack of trying... They've been crapping on genre of thrash since rust in Peace
yeah pretty much but you still get a few songs that are thrashy here and there.then you got the system has failed and endgame which is about half thrash.Dystopia too.the new one is an all out thrash album Dave claims.
Almost everyone says the same shit about their favorite band
Gar was something else RIP
He really was. Megadeth's best drummer IMO.
Dystopia is one of the best. Can't wait to and get the new album. Megadeth still makes masterful riffs.
Saw Megadeth perform in April, and Dave most definitely has still got it. Crazy to think about how old he is, the cancer and how hard it hit him, and he was still shredding with ease & his vocals are on point. as he ages, he sounds a bit more like Lemmy, but that makes him even more special
Also when he injured the nerves on his arm, how is this dude still this good after all that at 60? Inhuman.
Love Dave Mustaine, new single sounds badass looking forward to the album getting out
Dave is just the master and he proved.
Thanks for powering through all the difficulties over the past few years. Thanks for all the great music Dave. Long live Megadeth!
Dave you Rock!!! Great to see you out and about. Can't wait to hear the new recordings.
Saw THE MD line up on the Countdown tour. Dave, Marty, Nick, & Dave Jr. I will need to check out their new stuff. Lost me after Cryptic. Big fan of the RIP/Countdown era.
love the guitar licks so far. I love his voice now. I liked it before, but the extra gruff is really cool to my ear.
can't wait for the album
I like how good & energised he feels about his band members. It's honestly a killer team and I'm pretty sure their new album will kick ssss with this line up. 🤟🏻
Can't wait to see kiko play with Megadeth. The song we'll be back is so fast. I'm so over the top excited for this album.
these are the interviews we need, thanks dave, love you bro!
I'm kind of disappointed in myself because I didn't truly get into Megadeth until a few years ago. don't get me wrong I've listen to Megadeth for years but it was only like the singles etc just passing through my Playlist. Ever since I listen to Rust in Peace the whole album, the rest is history
I just seen him perform a couple days ago. He sounded better than ever and I've seen him several times!
This interview is so underrated in views hopefully it blows up
“I can’t remember who it was” Dave knows exactly who he talks about he never forgets 😂 he always refers Metallica as his “previous band”
Wait what metallica?
Dave was referring to Kiss 🤘🏼
@@livewell_79 lol yeah I know. Was just saying that he does stuff like that and usually does it a lot when it’s about Metallica
@@8troll9 I study Dave too much and oddly found me and him are quite similar. Too hard to explain just look at my other comment
@@desert_iron_123 nah. Hes over it. We all know who the king of thrash is and Metallica it is not.
I love Dave's honesty and passion.
Wow blessings to Dave. Sucks that we or rather he had to wait for another killer Megadeth album but that's life and here we r. He looks and sounds good and I just can't wait!
I could get over the vocals on Dystopia... I can get over it for 'We'll be Back,' which is a bit of a banger... If the rest of the record is like that, I'm still in.
He sounds like a gay pirate when he says war lol
Heard one song of the new album and kicked ass! Looking forward to the new album! Hope Megadeth comes through the Lou again soon. Been a few yrs since I seen them missed them last year.
It's a shame that Dave didn't mentioned Steve Di Giorgio, the dude who actually recorded bass on the new Megadeth album. Steve is a fantastic bassist.
Absolutely legendary bassist
I mean he did offer Steve to join Megadeth and he turned him down to keep playing in Testament, so it's only natural for Dave to direct his praise to the person who is actually playing bass with him on stage instead of a session player, as much as the session player is fantastic.
Yeah but didn’t sound like anything special on the new single. Boring ass tone.
@@BrainWasherAttendent Bro, you should check out Death's Individual Thought Patterns album, his bass playing really shines a lot on that album.
@@arvindshastry1178 and while your at it check out his playing on Autopsy's Severed Survival. a very different beast
Dave Mustaine is an international treasure. Long may he live, and long may he rock 🤘
Dave has a huge following in india.
I hope he knows that.
@@puffybuns2311 That's awesome! India is one of the coolest places on Earth :)
@@ImYourOverlord Nah it really isn’t for Metal heads.haha.
@@puffybuns2311 Ah, but there's more to life than Metal...like Goa Trance ;)
@@ImYourOverlord ok cool!
I actually don’t like these parties and trance music.
I am a metalhead who likes live music played on real instruments.
But I understand what the craze is for.
sembra sempre un ragazzino...buon per lui...grande Dave...i love you
Such a cool and humble guy, so much respect.
Dave Mustaine is not a humble guy. He is cool and very intelligent. Hes also friendly and can be very generous to people. Humble he is not. But he tells it like it is. I appreciate that. The world is full of too much BS. He is as real as you can get. Ive met the man and I dont mean a meet and greet. He was very cool to me and the small group of people attending this thing at his former house over the course of a weekend. We had a few conversations and I saw how he interacts with people. Class act does not begin to cover it. Good guy. Very good guy.
Whats funny is I am not some fanboy type. I went to that thing on a lark because I can sing some of his stuff almost the same and I heard he was giving some time in his studio to record a song. So I went and he was really cool to me about it. He came in and listened and gave some pretty high praise which was most unexpected. Later, he and the band gave me a signed leather Megadeth jacket. No strings. It was cool and they were very gracious. Most celebs I know are not.
@@smokejaguarsix7757 awesome story ! Lucky you ! Congratulations ! I’ve always wanted to meet him !
I am very excited to hear the rest of the album. Legendary album incoming….I don’t think there is anyone better than Megadeth Dave. This is good stuff. I am glad to have Megadeth around to keep me into music.
Dave is badass and his band members! seen them in Nashville this year was the best experience taking my son for his 21st birthday! Thanks for the rocking memories
You don't look old enough for that, time has been kind to you...
This Man is absolutely a metal classic for the ages. Thanks MEGADETH!!
Besting "Dystopia" will be a great work. Pre-ordered mine on Wed.
Dave did an amazing job at making this interview super awkward in the beginning. Props to the interviewer for rolling with it.
Well maybe the interviewer should have acknowledged the Cancer when he was bringing up the 6 year gap between albums
@@jeffblydenburgh5938 the dude that probably has to interview multiple people in a day, it’s funny because there’s 100 different ways that could have been addressed and Dave picked the most awkward way to do it, classic mustaine.
@@jeffblydenburgh5938 Maybe the interviewer wanted to be sensitive about bringing up his cancer.
Great interview
I love that Dave still thinks about Gar.
Such a humble man. Makes it easy to admire him.
Dude the two new songs ROCK‼️‼️🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
New album is legendary, very angry, very fast, very heavy. My faith in metal is restored. The title track, Night Stalkers, and We’ll Be Back are my favorites, especially the title track, I love it. Bring Out the Dead!!! Bring Out the Dead!!!
Preordered the album...can’t wait !
Why do frickin interviewers find it necessary to constantly interrupt their subjects?!?!
Just as Dave was going into a deep dive with what he means by "jazz influence" (a topic much debated online) and talking about "hits" and "sixteenth notes" the interviewer interrupts him with "you've always liked that, though."
This was going to be one of Dave's most concise answers regarding what he means by "jazz influenced drummer" and he got cut off.
Ugh
Dave has my utmost respect. Not once has he ever sold out. He has stayed true to himself and his fans. A true inspiration to us fans.
Not once huh?
He's tried, lets be real
He did take a Risk
He's admitted he tried to so why can't you? It really doesn't matter.
thank u Dave \m/
Dave's one tough hombre! Luv me some megadeath!! So glad he's healthy and still kickin a#$!!!! All the best to Mr. Mustaine!!!!
And EXACTLY like Randy Rhoads, we well never know, but love to imagine just how accomplished they'd be by now. RIP to both of you beautiful players.
Does anyone know the model of Dave's sunglasses on that particular video? Thanks in advance!
I wish more more major bands would use local bands as opening acts in each city they perform. A band like Megadeth has enough name recognition that the band doesn’t need to have bill full of big bands.
So true...last I saw them they played with trivium, lamb of god, and inflames. The only problem was; with 4 big name bands like that there was a lot of material that didn't get played. Bad ass show though.
LEGENDARY, all the best Dave
Stoked for the new record!
Dave sounds pretty great for someone who had throat cancer
Dave sounds pretty great for someone who got kicked out of Metallica and almost lost his arm
@@caerxhan8313 that too!! He's showing REAL THRASH metal should sound!!!
Awkward at the beginning...the interviewer seems a bit nervous.
How can you not be nervous when Dave Mustaine is sitting infron you haha
@@melanieincognito6714 He just seems a bit glakey
@@melanieincognito6714 i would shit myself
Probs to the interviewer
I’ve always thought Dave was a metal troubadour because of the passion that exuberates through his guitar playing n lyrics. I like Metallica but I love MegaDeth n I’ve always felt that way because I relate to his messages n agree with them whole heartedly! God bless Dave n His band MegaDeth, rock on forever my brother!
Glad Dave is still with us. The first two tracks off the new album sound pretty SICK!!!!!!Dystopia was a badass album as well.
MEGADETH > metallica
my man says whats on his mind i love it, its harsh sometimes but man i respect that
how can you forget the biggest impact to dave in years, mf forgot dave had cancer and thought covid delayed the album
Wow ! A picnic table Interview. Interesting 😜🤟
Great interview.
Absolute legend
That was a great interview. He looks good.
Dave..gotta love him or hate him...
He is a Legend!!!
We love you ,Dave keep fighting
I had a leaked copy of “Killing Is My Business” record before it was released. I remember me and my friends freaking out cuz they covered Metallica’s “Four Horsemen”…haha. That was before we knew Mustaine was in Metallica and wrote most of that time.
That will always be my favorite record.
Good you know four horsemen is actually the cover now
The Kill Em All album is mostly Dave’s songs
#MustaineForPresident
Been a fan since the 80s and THAT would be a nightmare...LOL! I'm a fan but Dave often says and does things that are, at minimum, problematic in execution, even when he's been right.
@@ObsidianLife ehhh we’ve had worse already 🤣🤣❤️🔥
@@ObsidianLife also the hashtag is because of the MTV special they did after countdown to extinction…MustaineForPresident🤣
Chris Poland in a interview said we'd be at Nuclear War in Mustaine's first day in office 😂
Dirk is such an amazing drummer! His soilwork days crazy good drums. 🤘😎
Anybody know what band he is speaking of when the tape started but the drummer wasn't playing ?
Dave’s the man
Brutal Interview.....
Dave Mustaine is my favourite human
Anyone know what Dave's book is called?
This interviewer was really a PoS.. didn’t even research the album release date and then has that sly remark at the end “we’ll keep people posted if there’s anymore delays” smh and he forgot to mention Dave’s battle with cancer. Props to Dave for being cool with him though
What ? No mention of Lomenzo in White Lion ? :-)
Dave is the man. He has worked his as off and kept MEGADETH fans happy and he has real music instead trying create 7 to 10 minute piles of shit as a certain band has been doing for lots of years and can't seem to put out any albums they have to do some other thing to make money. Dave has been real and efforts are always great payoffs that's why he has a strong fan base. That is why MEGADETH has a strong fan base.
I thank God you're still here. Keep thrashing Dave.
And this is why Megadeth is stil standing Strong is frome that stand Up Power frome Dave Mustaine.! Never give Up no mader what.! The New Album is so fucking awsome i love all album frome Megadeth.! 😎🤩🤘✌️☢️☢️☢️
Do you guys, on the KERRANG radio, heard something about the sound quality? Maybe there is a chance you can remove that 100hz hum from the video? Not cool, not cool
Looking forward to the new megadeth album
He is so authentic. Age means nothing. They are still creating, not living off of old songs. The Sick, the Dying, and the Dead among their very best music ever, in my humble opinion. His guitar playing is at a new height. Unbelievable.
