Hey Dave--think you had it bad? I had Tourette's, Asperger's, narcolepsy, and rotten teeth. In second grade a mob of kids (literally) would chase me home from school yelling "hey rotten teeth!" while throwing rocks at me, punching me, and knocking my schoolbooks on the ground. Imagine that life.
Hey, hi!(: May I ask where the rest of the video is?
Lol my exact childhood. He says "I'm sad for em cause they're all going to hell" made me laugh
Dave has never been one to mince words.
Same
He means in a way this life can be heaven or hell
me too! haha!
@@jyejye1077 no he means it literally
"Im sad for them because they're all goin to hell"
He always have this strong self confidence lol
Sounds like he's religious to me..
If he believes in them going to hell.
He's still no different than a Jehovah witness.
He thinks his religious beliefs or are right and their going on to hell..
Just like they believe about him??
Says who, Jesus? That's hilarious!
'@@Add_Account485 mr. musstaine is a godamned christian i'm afraid
That was awesome.
Dave is a true warrior. He's been through so much shit, yet he's standing there, showing his middle finger to all those who abused him. He is a complete success story.
God bless you Dave, you have inspired many of us out there not to give up.
He doesn't need to show his middle finger to anyone. His hard work and dedication speaks to itself.
"Showing his middle finger" is an analogy. Depsite the adversity and the disputation he managed to overcome the burden and he succeeded. His actions speak louder than any insult.
@@physicsman3603 I've always didn't understand that anology. But I got your point now.
Literally millions of kids grow up this way & are successful
I guess this terrible experience works as a fuel for them. The same goes for Dave.
Says a lot about the beginnings of Metallica. Dave: Jehovah's Witness. James: Christian Scientist. Lars: Tennis.
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lars: jew
Lars had a very supportive and well adjusted family. Cliff did too. But James, Dave, and Kirk had pretty rough backgrounds.
@@ryanjacobson2508 what you mean Kirk? He have has proper relations with his mam and brother.
I grew up living on welfare, pink lunch tickets, no friends...and my mother blamed my sorry childhood on listening to Megadeth!
.. that's probably one of the only things that kept you going. Music's powerful.
@@lapinus Actually, I became one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Seeing the world leading into Satan's endgame is what woke me up.
@@johnryan1798 I hope you're fuckin jokin😂
@@johnryan1798 honestly 5 years ago i would go "yeah whatever kook" to that last part, but with the stuff ive noticed in the past couple years i see what you mean by that, good luck with that venture and stay safe out there.
@@johnryan1798 i have found jesus people find me mad but the world is going into a dark a faithless time
Love Dave Mustaine. He has been through so much but he's managed to come through a better person. And this was just his childhood. He had it rough as a teen and his young adult life was even more tumultuous. He lost his ability to play and had to relearn guitar 20 years ago but Dave is, like the song states, "a victory". 🖤
god i love that song
Still a religious nut though.
@KiLDiG Horror Movie Archive I don't care tho
Cut my palm and thumb deeply and separated a tendon. Thought that was the end of my playing days but the surgeon knew his shit and its fine now 12 weeks ltr
But he never lost his ability to be a complete douche bag.
I grew up Jehovah’s Witness, guitar was my only escape. Now I’m 21, shunned, on my own, growing my hair out, rocking out!
U dont need them, I know that religion, always remember that the most beautiful thing that any human being can have is freedom, hold on to it, it doesnt matter if some of your family wont talk to you.
My uncle is a Jehova's Witness, when I was a kid, he told my Mum to destroy all my Iron Maiden records, music of the Devil you know... Thanks God, my Mum is Christian and makes difference between Evil and Metal.
PS: A few years later, the same Uncle praised my first guitar the day I bought one, go figure ^^
This is so sad to hear. It obviously still hurts him to this day, but you can see where his anger and rage came from in those early days.
Absolutely ...the perfect ingredients.. but he channelled it into music which helped him no doubt,,,
@@chuckchambers9565 Cause it don't exist for the most part.
Sounds exactly like my childhood. It's nice to see Dave made a success of his life after such misfortune as a young boy. Good for him.
Dave and James both had shitty childhoods. Awesome to see their success and influence! 🤘🏼
A mix of emotions here. Sadness and admiration for this man's perseverance.
So good you're still with us!
Man, you feel the sincerity in his voice. I know what its like to grow up poor and have freaking Red hair. I grew thick skin fast especially going to a all Hispanic school. I learned to read people movements, the sound of the voice, their eyes. Socks when you gotta fight to just be.
Also I can see he was the type just looking g for someone to be slightly disrespectful. Sux he took up for Lars and the dick didn't even remember. Goes to show sometimes you think your around friends but they turn out to be narcissist
I expected him to add the red hair as an added cause for peer abuse but he surprisingly didn't.
dave is an incredible person
He's an alright person, let's be honest here.
Damn, I feel it when Dave says he's broken inside. Yup, me too buddy.
Wow I feel so genuinely sorry for him. I pray for him to stay well.
This tells you everything about Dave, and really, everything about how your choices as a parent (sometimes even those that seem insignificant or minor to you) will affect your children today and forever. It makes me very sad.
psychotic passive agressive narsicisstic manipulators know more than they act like when they are trying to destroy your mind.
an if not they don't have the required intelligence levels to be allllowed around humans an they have some extreme version of human rabies/demon possession
I mean if he wasn't as talented as he is, he would be dead by now, he scaped by selling drugs and stealing and being a junkie. Without music he would not have gone very far. Choices as a parent can be life determinant to the kids.
Never knew Mustaine was in poverty in childhood,so was I,likely why his music always speaks to me.
I think Jeff Hanneman said it best when he said about people not understanding the music of Slayer. That you have to have problems to understand the music. That's how I felt growing up listening to 80s Thrash Metal such as Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth. The music speaks to me, it understands me and comforts me when everyone else couldn't do the same thing at that time.
umm. 🤔 no musicians are rich as kids. once you get rich an have kids they are lazy an lack discipline. thats why no musician (or other fame) kid ever did anything. silver spoon vs rusty spoon fed
I feel for Dave.. my life was pretty much the same with the addition of evil step mothers and step fathers.. ran away from home at the age of 15.
I never related to a man so much in my entire life than I do to Dave. The only thing we don't share in common is fame for what we do best... guitar. Dave Mustaine is a national treasure that must be preserved.
Well, he won’t be preserved.
@@Kuato well, thankfully he actually will in a way. Music makes you immortal. Your words your songs your power will live on. Like Lemmy and Hendrix and SRV. Legends never truly ever die their works keep them alive. So Dave WILL be preserved whether you like it or not, nerd.
I can totally relate to yr traumatic fucked up dysfunctional childhood, Dave!! As I listen to you share, I hold back tears!! But you are a warrior as well as I am and you made those tragedies into musical multiple platinum selling music! God bless the child that had got his own!! Love you do much, big brother from another mother! My father was the same way!
That was almost exactly my childhood all the way to my late teenage years . Thank you Dave for sharing and helping me get thru my hard times as a child countdown to extinction is my all time fav album coming out in the early 90s :)
So many people in that situation that don't have the words to explain it, Dave put it into words everyone can understand. :)
WOOOO i love it!!! he didn't hold anything back here! i never knew he was so fiery! just like his hair! LOL his bluntness kicks ass.
Dave is so relatable to me. No wonder his music resonated so much with me as a teen. Still does. Inspiration for all those out there who've been through the shit! Thanks, Dave.
And we are blessed to have you come through this child abuse and trauma Dave, giving the world the amazing music you have created for the past 40 years.
He was kicked out of Metallica because he basically did not know how to socialize as a young adult. He though being an asshole was showing friendship....it must have taken him a long time to learn how to get along with others. I have a lot in common with Dave in growing up alienated; it took me a long time to learn to be social and I did a lot of awkward things I thought might be cool or funny and regretted later. I now live by the mantra "if you think it might be stupid or offensive...don't do it or say it!". Worked well for me since
I can relate, I hate being around people or I can’t really relate to most people
I thought he was kicked out for being an alcoholic
He was an angry drunk and a coke head. And he knew karate. Very scary.
@@Undertow596 Same here. I had a real good friend, but he took his life. I can’t relate to other people, or my family. I’m just on my own, i think that’s my path.
@@r.g.armstrong2688 i understand sorry that happened to you
I hate most people
I'm a die-hard Metallica girl, but if I could see Dave now and he was telling me all of this, the first thing I would do is give him an enormous hug and tell him that none of it was his fault. No one deserves to be raised like he was. He really needs empathy and love in this interview, I can see it in his eyes. I'm happy to see how he has continued to push on after all he's been through. ❤
Wow.. Megadeth is one of my favorite bands to.
As if it couldn't be!
@@blaze-the-Real Better than Metallica imo
@@thelastdaybreathinginetern1385 its not opinion its facts
@@thelastdaybreathinginetern1385 80s Metallica was the best...not now.
I just can't understand how a father could do that to their own son. Even if you hate your spouse and divorce, don't ever divorce your children.
Or the other way around these days 🤷 because they're f****** heartless and soulless that's why 🤦💯💔
Sadly most deadbeat father's end up abandoning their children.
That's the normal day to day for a lot of families, be thankful for what you still have
I was a latchkey kid too! I think a lot of us grew up like Dave during the 70’s and 80’s.
I remember the giant logs of napalm colored cheese. 2x a month!😂🤣😂 It is what it is, Dave!
Yes, when you hear Dave's childhood stories, you can fully understand why he is so twisted and mean.
We still love him because he's is such a honest and insightful guy.
Dave i can tell you that all of youre fans admire the strength and courage you have.Please know that all of us megadeth heads love you and want the best for you always!
I never knew.... I have so much more respect for this man. This was me too. I hated my childhood. I have met very few people who I can relate to, and this is maybe why I have loved his music ever since one of my friends, who was aware of my very unpredictable and very hostile anger problem, turned me onto a song called "Peace Sells but Who's Buying?" I remember him waiting for my reaction, and when it came, I was like: "Who in f$$k is this?"
And then your mind is blown even further when hearing "High Speed Dirt"🤘
growing up in foster care i know how you feel dave. must be surreal to the place where youre at now. kudos on riding the wave.
Damn, Dave. I never knew you had to go through this. So great to see what you made of yourself after that tragedy.
Hope wherever Dave is now he's doing well. ALWAYS loved Megadeath!!!
This broke my heart. He has been through so much. I wish him the very best.
He hit home in so many ways! I had to wear "floods" too, "where's the flood hahaha" the kids used to say. And u feel like everyone's talking about u every time u used free lunch tix & foodstamps. In the mid-late 70's they used to give plastic chips as change if u got change back shopping with foodstamps. I'm so grateful he made it out of the hell he went thru later, so many don't. 1 of my happiest days in my late teens early 20's was a payday when I had enough left after my bills to buy a tape, especially the day I bought my copy of Peace Sells!!!!
You are a good guy Dave and a decent person. I grew up on the lower end of the socio-economic ladder with my parents both working 2 jobs and living in tenement apartments. My family eventually climbed up out of that situation but the thoughts and memories have never left me. Thanks for telling your story...it was very inspiring to me to hear even that little bit. Take care, okay.
Love your music
Dave and Henry Rillins I could listen to these two guys all day!
I’m in love with this man. And that last sentence was well worth the two minute watch 🤣
Wow Dave, loved your testimony!!
Stuff like this makes me so grateful for my upbringing
We weren't well off in the slightest, nobody in my village was but my childhood was amazing, my parents were together right up until my old man passed away, we had proper home cooked meals every night, proper big roast dinner on Sunday's, amazing happy Christmases, I can truly say hand on heart I have zero complaints about my childhood/upbringing
Dave… I’m a huge Metallica fan here, and I think you and Megadeth are awesome. I met you and shook your hand back in 2009 I think it was in Charlotte, NC when you released a new album, and you stayed and signed EVERY autograph for everyone who purchased Megadeth’s new album. You show everyone how you can come from humble beginnings and make it on to be a huge success. Even in tough times in your early on life, and then your early on career, you’ve become a huge success.
I had never really understood Dave until watching this. Now the rest of it makes sense. Good for him coming back from that
God Bless DAVE!!!!! He’s overcome so much!!!!!🙏🙏🙏
Im sure his mom loved him. Nobody's perfect. Better than having both parents that hurt you psychologically. Always thought he seemed like a smug elitest but i see he has heart .
Yep, not an ounce of self-pity...
This was a rant that ramped up perfectly at the end.
this interview gave me a whole new perspective on dave. i feel ya on that 1
Dave I am just like you the timeline is different but what you went through i did me and my big brothers we go through it GODBLESS You Dave
After seeing stuff like that you see how spoiled you are and how little of the world you’ve seen but I’ll always be grateful for all the opportunities and the great childhood I have
I was raised as a jahovahs witness and can attest to everything he said. I was lucky that my dad was Catholic and put his foot down over Christmas, which my brother and I always got to celebrate with the rest of the family who weren't religious at all really. Meeting twice a week for 3 hours a time, Saturday morning bible study with one of the elders, Sunday morning meeting at the Kingdom Hall followed by another Bible study all afternoon with one of the older kids. Wasn't allowed to watch anything remotely sexual, with bad language, or even mild violence until I was around 16 and basically couldn't be stopped anymore by law. I wasn't allowed around girls, full stop. I remember my mum going mad because she found out I had a girlfriend when I was 16 going on 17. As a kid I was constantly scared of god and satan finding out I I did or thought something "bad", like lying to my mum about brushing my teeth or if I'd go to bed without saying my prayers. I was terrified Satan was going to come in my room at night, posses me, and make me do bad things. I was pushed into believing that allowing worldly ideas into my head was allowing Satan into my head. And that Satan wants me to do bad things against gods will so he can get closer to me and make me do more bad stuff. I literally went to bed scared his evil demon spirit was going to sneak through my window and possess me like a puppet and make me do all the evil stuff he supposedly loves people doing. I was 5 years old... who the fuck teaches that to a child? Then when I left at 16 and my mum couldn't legal make me doing anything the other member tried to encourage her to distance herself from me. Madness. She also left shortly after the told her to disown her own son at 16.
Sounds like a cult to me, then again, so do all religions.
I totally understand you. I got several panic attacks due to that, and I had to heal by myself.
@@Ozzmosisf35 I'm not religious but you have to be very stupid to think every religion is a cult. There are differences between a cult and a religion. I agree that one sounds like a cult but not every religion is the same. I was raised in Catholicism and my family and I were very "free". Now I'm not into religion anymore but I can tell you Jehovah's witness are something different.
He literally just described mine and my brothers life
Wow, I was lucky to have some decent childhood until 13, then parents divorced, got the boot and live by myself sometimes on the streets, If you want to survive you have to be smart and consistent to adapt, Megadeth fan here since 1994
Hey I Love this guy haven't seen him or Pam [his wife] or James his rehab-buddy for a few years, but last time we went it it was cool and he just picked up the tab. He was cool and his family and James too. I hope they are doing well. The last time I saw them though I was broken-down due to the death of my beloved Fiancee' who was and is Wonderful. She was from Bosnia. I miss everything about her.
Lots of respect 🙏 to Dave in recovery 9 years
amazing guy
I pretty much had the same childhood as Dave, maybe even worse, but he gives me hope that I can break the cycle of poverty, & make a name for myself like he did ❤
felt so sad to hear his speech
Tough really tough. Mustaine knows pain and suffering....
the last seconds are priceless xD
That last line.....could help to laugh my ass
Dave . love you bro u carried me thru my sisters death she drownd . metal saved me reeli thank u and you are megadeth... No your metadeth thank u so much i love u
Hard not to like him. I hope I see him up there!
A humble up bringing
Dave, don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel!
if he didn't have that type of upbringing, we wouldn't have the same type of Dave that we know, period.
A bit of a phoenix, this Dave guy. Broken home, shitty childhood, legendary Thrash frontman. Yep. A phoenix alright.
You ended up a great success no matter what your childhood was. I had a bad one myself. Try to let it go, Dave. It sounds like it still bothers you. You're a guitar god. Please don't think another negative thought about yourself. You're beautiful as you are.
Preach it, Dave!!! \m/
The Greatest speaking about his childhood.
But you're one of the coolest even after your childhood and that makes U a legend.
La Mesa, California. I grew up there too.
Your 100th subscriber!
For someone like Dave Mustaine to go through all the shit that he went through in his life stuff like that would normally drive a person to either go to jail or commit suicide. But that’s the thing I feel like if Dave did not have music in his life he probably would’ve end up dead or in jail. Like honestly God bless him he truly seems like a driven determined person and that’s what kept him alive all these years and not only that but his passion for what he does.
I'm sad for them too bro... Lot of people out there still lost and clueless. God have mercy. No pun intended.
I never even imagined he would have been through all this...
This is the greatest thing Dave has said!
Oh boy. The irony of the last statement....
Makes you think what's worse, though; someone who believes in literal hell and earnestly wants to 'save' people through proselytisation, or someone who _still_ 'believes' in literal hell and doesn't.
Dave is awesome!!
Oh here we go
LEGEND
keep going Dave.
And the Paradox is : guess where the the drive to become '' Something " emanates from ?
Interesting dude
and the angst in early songwriting shows. There's always music driven by true life experience and emotion, that's what makes it passionate to the musician.
Amen, Dave. My whole family is breaking my heart too on their way too hell. They are all Christian Scientists but at 49 I found my own way to the foot of the cross and was born again. Having the Holy Spirit onboard was an unexpected, staggering and beautiful honor! I never did care much for Metallica but I am a life long Budgie fan. Burke Shelly was sort of a pastor to me in high school. Although I didn't know the Gospel I did have a fascination with the Bible and somehow I formed an attachment toBurke's lyrics as they were so mysterious, beautiful and somewhat biblical. I know James Hetfield was raised in the same CS cult that I was and he was the only other person I had heard of that was into Budgie besides me. Now I am 59 and I still listen to Budgie a lot and Megadeth a little more.
Bro honestly nobody cares. You seriously took that much time and thought in your day to write that. Just enjoy the video and move on.
@@tigerg8022 if nobody cares why did you feel the need to take time out of your day to shit on someone's beliefs? Just enjoy the video and move on
@@llamaman431 u right u right. I wasn't shitting on his beliefs tho brother. Just pointing out the fact that posting all that is kinda ridiculous lol
God bless you🙏✝️
hell only comes if Putin helps bring it. other than that their pedophile heaven west will continue to exist
Dave always speaking with his mouth full of truth.
Great stuff real inspiration!! Still he did not find that as an excuse to pickup gun. Hope kids from disjointed families in US learn and acknowledge that
Dave is Awesome!!!
He seems like a good guy.
But Man! We love you!
And he was an addict, and he had throat cancer, and even in spite of all that (or because of that) he's a multimillionaire who can still shred AND sing (saw him earlier this year with Lamb of God, an amazing Christian Band!) and he rocked!!!
That explains quite a lot.
wow this was intense
Tragic, at least he became a rockstar in the end 😢
Rock and metal aren't the same
I love Dave.
