- Dave Mustaine talks about the censorship surrounding Megadeth's music videos, MTV's hypocrisy, and the emerging "cyberarmy" of Megadeth fans on the Internet (1995).
Really shows how much Dave really cares for fans, to see him get really personal and really try to communicate with fans despite a language barrier is really outstanding on his part.
Dave was a man ahead of his time. I remember e-mailing him AND getting a response way back in the early 90's when I was in college. Very cool and very appreciative of his fans.
Nemesis was pleased.
wow!! dave knew that the Internet would be ubiquitous. some say he's an asshole. i say, we need strong thinkers like him on our team. i don't agree with him 100% (im an atheist ), but this man is a true legend!!
Dave Mustaine is the man
i have a new found respect after watching this video. esp. the part where he interacts with the fans. he doesn't treat them or act like he's this big rock star or celebrity. just like people that love his music and he appreciates it obviously. awesome guy. rock on megadeth.
I had the opportunity to show I was involved with the internet, by calling out I was part of Dave's megadeth fourms. He signed my endgame booklet with my fourm username. I have my upmost respect for him and I wont forget his kindness.
MTV killed Metal.
Marcus Olsson MTV Killed Rock and Roll.
He seems like a really down to earth and knowledable guy. Would be great to meet him! Plus he's fucking godly at guitar!
he is very wise and his words are true
So MTV is pretty much pop, teen pop, dance pop, and hip hop. When and why did MTV change their credo?
Also, where was this interview from?
he seems like a nice dude. The fact that he said o ya i know u when the dude gave him his screen name is just amazing.
GODDAMNIT, I LOVE THIS MAN.
This is amazing. Dave said this in 1995 when the interent for most Americans was very new. Unfortunately, the whole MTV hipocracy thing didn't work. Still about 1:53-2:59 really applies to today's world (or from around 1998 to today) and to think this was said 3 years earlier is amazing and the fact that bubble gum pop really wasn't what it was back in 1998 or so.
Wow, Dave was on the ball in '95! Here we are 16 years later, and wouldn't you know it, the internet is where people discover music, share their own creations, and now the movement of popular music has shattered into sub-sets. There is no more universal superstar, just giants of their genres.
As for MTV, they feed off of the stupidity of the average teenager's sense of humor now. They no longer have Music Television in their name. Good. They haven't been Music Television for eons....
dave's so cooooool.
thats sick that dave's never let fame get to his head.
man that last guy was stoked to meet dave! i'm so jealous!
@xXhanson900Xx I love Dave I think he's brilliant and has fronted one of the most important bands in the world for almost 30 years but he went to rehab fifteen times before he was clean. I am just pointing out that he didn't recover fast. If anything this shows his perseverance and ability to follow his goals until they are completely accomplished.
True. Also, the 'M' in MTV has changed from 'Music' to 'Mystery' Television, because you never know what MTV will show next, but you can be damn sure it will be something completely unrelated to music.
I just love this man ...
Dave Mustaine was SO right about the netz
Dave Mustaine is cool!!! Such a fan friendly person!!!
That Nemesis thing was really cool of Dave.
love his face at: 0:15
Haha, you can see the afterglow on Nemesis. How awesome is that.
Dave Mustaine is probably one of the best musicians in the whole Metal history
Shows produced by the Finnish FST (Finlands Svenska Television) sometimes had subtitles for both Swedish and Finnish.
Brilliant Mustaine!
I MIGHT have just said that to get the crowd psyched.
im not in the know about megadeth but im trying to catch up, anyone know what the song in the backround at the start of this interview is? pm please?
Train of Consequences
dave for president!!
is there any where you can see this letter?
They took on the fight with MTV and MTV sadly won the fight by not playing their music anymore...
Dave was ahead of his time
i like dave mustaine people pick on metal alot and call people who listen to it idiots but dave mustane is a smart guy and knows what he is talking about
This is so cool. The internet being this new thing to them at the time. My time flies.
"If you want to stay informed then you have to pay attention to what is going on around you" more true now then ever. Some people have to look in other countries websites to know what is going on in the US.
Dave makes a very good point
I still think it's silly how people that kill themselves seem to get more credit than people who fought and won over their demons, like Dave did. Lots of people still think he's an asshole, I think he's one of the strongest men I've ever heard of.
@VegitoVai90 Thank you. You're not just a metal supporter and I like that. People need to know that hip hop is music too!
Dave, your my hero
what song is that at 1:40?
Dave Sure knew his stuff back then. on top of that, he was extremely polite to the fans from the internet. and like the other guy said (Sorry i forgot whom but he said what needed to be said.) Other musicians would've just gotten into their ferrari and gone home to rap out lyrics someone wrote for them.
He's so freaking smart Love him! Dave Mustaine for president!
Mustaine for president ¡¡
He saw it! He knew! Back then computers were just a "nerd" thing. NOW LOOK AT IT!!!!!!!!!
The year i was born
@ANDYB1478 yeah because Kurt Cobain never did drugs. He's a real role model. Honestly I admire mustaine 100000 times more than Kobain. He had a freaking tough life and he never gave up, Cobain had some problems that weren't as near as bad as the ones that Dave had and he commits suicide. Mustaine is a role model, he could create a sucessful band and he's one of the best rhytm guitarrist ever (as a guitar player is much better than Kurt) when he grew up in shitty conditions .
Never did drugs, but the toxicology part of his autopsy confirmed that he was loaded on heroin at the time he died. Sure.
so true
who is that guy at the end of the video?
Dave is the man. Period.
HOW DO U EMAIL DAVE MUSTAINE
What is this 'internet' of which you speak, Dave? It sounds like a fascinating development!
0:04 "Dave Mustane" xD
"That's not music tv, that's one type of music tv" , he's so right, they should play less hip-hop and pop on MTV, and bring back some fucking Rock!!
@DreamFactory91
Try to listen to it diffrently, have you ever seen his lyrics? Every song has such amazing lyrics, look up ''Foreclosure of a Dream''.
Lol Mustane, btw what does he say at the beggining? I can't tell
yeah, thats not widely accessible though. Dave came up with a good point that it metal is pretty censored... the whole "if you dont like it, just dont listen to it " comes up. There should be stations, but the pop mass doesnt want them
The wise words of Dave long live fucking Metal \m/ Fuck all that Rap shit.
Keyword being EX-junkie and EX-alchoholic. A guy beats his demons that he have been struggling with his entire life and turns his life around... yes that is a good role model. Maybe not to non-users, but to people that are trying to stop using, he would be a fine rolemodel.
@9erMatthew exactly.
@Brutalyeah I appreciate what they do and what they're about. It's entirely a taste issue. I was just never able to get past his voice.
Megadeth is spelled wrong in the subtitles!!! :(
I'm a nirvana fan and I completely agree.
My hero Dave MustAne.
?????????????????????
Holy hell, Dave is fucking amazing. I love the things that come out of his mouth. So priceless.
4:15
Gee, she sure was thrilled...
NEMESIS
i wouldnt class myself as a metal fan.... but i dig megadeth and Dave.... he has ALWAYS had time for his fan's and always treats them well.... that has to be respected... he's a different kettle of fish compared to all these other egotystical rockers (you know who they are)
completely true
word, this guy said the truth
He did say he's had trouble, but he's gotten help any time it's become a real issue.
dave dave dave dave dave dave dave dave dave dave dave !!!!!!
"if someone sent me a email i could reply to it in 2 or 3 days." lol
WHAT IS DAVE'S EMAIL ADDRESS!?!?!??!!?!!!!!!!!!!
@ANDYB1478 Yes, he should have the right because he actually took the effort to dig his way out of the hole instead of whining about his life and offing himself. Suicide is one of the weakest things you could do when faced with a great challenge and Dave is rightfully pointing that out.
that is fucking gold!!!
i love how at 3:02 Dave's just like "What the fuck are you saying?! i can't understand your fuckin accent..."
wow, they spelled mustaine wrong at the beginning
He was like, "Yeah, Dave and I have conversations all the time... do you?"
The subtitles says "Megadeath" :P
@Thejaycefish the kiling road from youthanasia dude.
Actually I didn't know that, I don't know and I can't know that (if he was murdered) so I can't say anything about that. But I still prefer Mustaine over Cobain every day of the year
Dave looks really strung out during this interview.
VH1 classic FTW!
Hell yeah for VH1 Classic!!!!...Except what pisses me off is that the videos they show are mostly hair metal...I want them to put more thrash in there...
Mustain is a metal godfather!
True hip-hop artists don't solely talk about how much sex they have or how much money they have, that's known as commercial music. Metal isn't the only genre that has posers is what I mean.
I would just like to thank for VH1/ Vh1 Classic.Thats where i first heard about Megadeth (on top 100 hard rock songs of all time). Metal Mania, That Metal Show, Rock Fest etc. There not perfect but they try
dave is so cool and thats so true
I know, but they misspelled it,,look at it again,
WHAT THE HELL MTV -.-
LOVE DAVEEE WOOOTTT
dont forget 16 and pregnat and teen mom
And the band's name, they spelled it Megadeath 2:41 :D
they misspelled "mustaine"
@DreamFactory91
For me it was also difficult learning to listen to Megadeth. His voice is unlike anything (best to compare it with a 90 year old man who drunk too much alcohol with a strap around his balls), the sound is not that heavy, rather sharp, and there are quite some tempo changes so you wont understand all songs at one listen. But really, I started liking all those things and I love the fact that its so original. Is there any band like Megadeth? No. Its one of my fav bands now :).
@ANDYB1478 Why, because he tells the truth? Dave's lyrics are actually intelligent and thought-provoking, not just whiny teen angst.
Paul/Mustaine 2012
Lol, and now we're watching a this video on the internet. I love the future.
