Dave Mustaine The only guy kicked out of a legendary metal band for partying to hard only to start another legendary metal band that almost fell apart for partying to hard. Freaking Legend
@@VicSellsPeace It really is, but we're fortunate he's stayed around this long. Too many other great musicians were claimed early in their careers because of heavy drug use.
Nicks druming on RiP is nothing short of amazing. Polaris double bass, the patterns in Five Magics, or Poison, OMG what more needs to be said. RIP to a real one.
@@lanmarknetworking3034 dig into the drumming on Holy Wars. I always called Nick Menza "Jeff Porcaro on steroids" because his fantastic use of ghost notes in fast paced drum beats.
Dude: ''...Many people, myself included believe to be the greatest trash album ever released...'' Mustaine (Thinking in his mind): ''This guy is pretty smart, I like him.''
@Mr Zazovia There's nothing wrong with worshiping a metal GOD like Mustaine and few others, they don't come along very often. And it's certainly interesting to talk to them, know the details behind the few masterpiece records which are milestones of metal music. If it's not fun for you, then good for you.
@Mr Zazovia you don't have to worship them, just having a chat with these people when you're genuinely interested in what they do and it's part of your life, it can be pretty decent Not saying it's a perfect job, though it's probably better than being stuck in customer service - ups and downs man, ups n downs
Rust in Peace, Peace Sells, Killing is My Business, and Dystopia are my favorite Megadeth albums, definitely. That said, I haven't anticipated a new Megadeth album the way I am looking forward to the next album, since Rust in Peace. Kiko is phenomenal, not just a great guitarist, but has taste, and Dirk Verbeuren is as good as, or better than, any drummer in the world, in terms of talent and skills, but also in terms of writing drum parts for songs, plus bring tasteful, and I've never heard a drummer who combines the power and the speed that he does with the subtleties and creative complexity that he adds to what he plays and what he writes. I hope Dave lets him loose to run.
Dirk is indeed a great drummer, and I was rather upset to hear he was leaving Soilwork for Megadeth. That said, Soilwork has changed a lot since Wichers left, so it's not quite as big a loss as it could've been.
"Peace Sells. . . but Who's Buying" is hands down the greatest Megadeth album, plus it has my favorite Megadeth line-up, including Chris Poland and Gar Samuelson.
I don’t know if anybody cares, but I spoke with Dirk Verbeuren, the drummer for Megadeth, recently and he said the new album is most similar to Rust In Piece. He said in terms of heaviness and speed it is the closest to that album.
Dirk is really a great drummer, if MegaDave let him do his thing, it might be another masterpiece, remember Nick Menza did contribute a lot to Rust in Peace. They now have a dream lineup again, with Kiko being a great soloist, and Dave Junior still being one of the greatest bass players alive. I believe they're able to produce something as technical and inventive as Rust in Peace if they put their mind to it. Let's hope Mustaine still has the riffs flowing through...
It's weird to grow up with a band your whole life ( I'm 50) as each album comes out and then watch you all this time later find out about them!!! More Megadeth man!!
Last year! HahahaHaHahahaHa! Is that an insult on us Generation X fans. We're the ones who backed Megadeth from the beginning. In the Poland era. It's surreal to see how serious you are about finding out about Megadeth only last year. That sounds so crazy to me. I hate to tell you, but you missed a whole bunch of legendary concerts. You'll probably never get to see them. That sucks for you.
I saw a Marty and Nick Megadeath line up live in Melbourne Victoria Australia with a 9 year old on my shoulders for the entire gig coz he couldn’t see and I didn’t feel any pain at the time coz it was absolutely mesmerizing and I was shocked at how perfect that gig was. Perfect playing and a perfect mix.. the whole band and crew were seriously ON that gig.🤘🎸
Amazing musician, and an intelligent man. All the experience in the music biz, his anger problems, his song writing and lyrical content, has really made him a well rounded and amazing person. Love Megadeth and thank you loudwire for the cool interview. I will be buying the book!
The Japanese "same story from different perspectives" writing style that Dave mentions is most likely a reference to Akira Kurosawa's film Rashomon (1950), or the short-stories by Ryunosuke Akutagawa on which it was based, which popularized this method.
I love how supportive & encouraging Dave’s son is of all Megadeth do. I mean to take the time to sit down & listen to the record during the writing & recording process and say like “Ahh this is great, Dad, this is probably one of the best things you’ve done!” or “I love this Dad but I think it could be even more heavier” like most musicians’ kids (even when they become ones themselves) don’t even bother with shit so huge respect to him for that 👊🏻
Dave Mustaine is a living LEGEND!! He has written so many amazing songs. Their recent studio album Dystopia in my opinion is a MASTERPIECE. I have never been more anxious for a new Megadeth album than I am now. This current lineup is the best one since the Rust In Peace lineup. I am so glad that Dave beat cancer. He has overcome every obstacle that has come his way. Dave is one of my all time favorite musicians and songwriters.
Me too!! I read "rest in peace" and was like 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 Noooooooo, fuck noooooooo... Then saw him and was like; Phew.. not today 2020, not today.. 🙏🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

@@bodyrot2794 well youre assuming i think trust is a great song. Its..okay. but the system has failed has...one decent song on it? And that one song doesnt measure up to the disintegrators on CW or recipe for hate on TWNAH

I don’t know why you would think I’m assuming you like trust or not doesn’t have anything to do with it. I was just saying it’s a more well known album with more well known hit songs.
@@bodyrot2794 well, you made a point and these are interesting discussions. I dont think its unreasonable to ask you to defend your point. I like most of megadeths catalog too. Hidden treasures, now theres a very good and underrated album. Aptly named.
Apart from Dave's killer guitar work I've always loved his singing voice. It's very unique with a tone and feel that is immediately recognizable and fits metal like a glove. Rock On!
I have always thought the same thing! His vocal tone and his songwriting ability to build a song that is uniquely designed for his voice is incredible.
I'm a pro musician, I always appreciated that although he's not the greatest singer the actual counterpoint vocal melodies against his killer riffs as well as his kick ass lyrics on his better songs were total genius
Loved many guitarist and song writers, but you're still my favorite, Dave. NO ONE writes riffs like you; maybe, one day, I can be as great. Dave Mustaine, my hero.
I love you Dave. Not only your music but your journey and how you overcame your deamons and live to talk about it. I wish dime bag got that chance. It's an inspiration to all musicians going through a similar struggles. You are tenacious, hostile at times, but you never were fake about your beliefs. Respect brother, you are amazing.
That's how I feel about Dave. I'm a pro muso with a similar life to his. Just like Dave I was kicked out at 15, I got into all the wrong stuff, but metal and Megadeth was always there for me even when shit was bad. Now I'm a sober Christian like Dave
I think the timing of Marty coming into the band was crucial for Dave, with Marty being sober and how much Dave looked up to Marty as a guitar player, it was an important time for Dave to have Marty there as someone to see that you can do it sober.
If l'm not wrong Dave was also sober at the time. In his book he kind of "blames" Marty of relapsing, cause Marty was so good and that made Dave depressed...
Man, Marty lay some of the most amazing solos on that album, they have the MF trademark style, and still Dave's keeping it up with the "I sang Marty's solos bla bla". When he says Marty did listen to Chris Poland's takes on the songs, I check them out, and you can hear some ideas in the final record, specially on Take no prisoners. But still is Marty's version and imprint.
@@vicrattlehead6386 of course, two completely different players. Poland's solos on the demos are amazing as well, but very improvised, without any kind of shape or direction, more like licks runs rather than a solo
As someone who has been a fan of Mega Deth from the beginning I can honestly say to see the turn around Dave has made as a person is amazing he as a person parallels his playing both just keep getting better and more interesting.
Great interview Graham. I'll be honest, I'd be nervous as hell to interview Dave Mustaine. He is just such a huge presence. But you did super well with your questions and professionalism.
Really interesting insight to Justis Mustaine being very critical about the most recent albums and telling Dave they could be heavier. Almost like a mini manager/producer
My three favorite Megadeth albums: Rust in Peace... The best thrash metal album ever. United Abominations... Megadeth's return to making thrash...damn solid album Peace Sells.... The first Megadeth album that I ever owned...still awesome.
All respect to Dave but he really does say that the band he's in at the time has the most chemistry..I get it, but in all honesty when Marty and Nick were in the band was without a doubt the best line up.
@@boopah4365 I started listening to megadeth when killing is my business came out so I'll admit I'm biased towards the original line up. Personally I still think Peace Sells is their best album, no offense to rust in peace
@Epiphany Party Yeah, I've heard the rumors, but this is he first time I'm hearing (reading) them firsthand. I became a fan in the mid-'80s and it was already commonly known he was a dick. Thanks for commenting.
@Epiphany Party Wow, that bad, eh? And I can only imagine what was going through your mind at that time. I've been INCREDIBLY lucky with the musicians I've met and/or became genuine friends with; Kurt Cobain gave me a sweater at a dumpy little garage kegger Nirvana played at. They were still working Bleach. Chris Cornell was quiet, polite, and gave me free tix when they sold out here in Seattle. Then there's Layne Staley, one of my closest friends ever. I can't talk about him or I'll get all emotional, lol. I'm sorry Mustaine was a dick to you, but as long as you've never lost your passion for metal... You're all good. 😉🤘(Also, sorry for the life story I just typed, lmao. If you read til the end, you're fkn awesome and I appreciate ya. :)
@Epiphany Party Holy shit, you seriously need to write a book. I bet you've been a fly on the wall for some amazing convos/interactions. If Dave or ANYONE yelled at my kid I'd punch 'em in the throat! Kurt and Layne died before my kids were born, unfortunately, because my 13 son is huge into Nirvana. He also likes Manson, TOOL, SoaD... Yeeeeah, I'm bragging a little, ha! My daughter (27) is into all that rap bullshit. I thought it was a phase!!! 😂 You're so right on about the memories... We'll always have those. A couple months ago I started writing down my "band stories"; I never wanna forget, and my son is super impressed. Haha Hey chick, have a great day, thanks for your stories and I'm sorry you worked so hard for Dave and got so little in return. No wonder James booted him!!
@Epiphany Party OMG, I would LOVE that! Also, we'll be able to tell the stories that we can't say on UA-cam.😇LOL. I'll hit you up later today. Now hurry up and erase your email address...ya never know what kinda freak will grab it, too. (I mean REAL freaks, not the cool kind, lmao) Ttys sister!
jenbunny1984 Peaces Sells... and Rust in Piece are phenomenal albums (Megadeth has a lot of those), but if I had to pick a favorite with zero thinking involved, it would be a tie between Killing is my Business and Countdown to Extinction. One is a fantastic debut, and the other is probably the most Megadeth-sounding record in their whole discography.
I saw the classic lineup on the Oxidation of the Nations tour in February 1991 at the Enmore theatre in Sydney. I had just marched out of Kapooka and was awaiting my Signallers course at the School of Artillery in Many. Happy days!
I remember blasting this tape when I was 16 in the winter months of 1990-91.I lived in an isolated community called wassagamack first nation central east of Manitoba Canada. Me and my friends would drive around on the winter road and spark up a doobie and enjoy listening to "rust in peace". Those were awesome times.
Dave is the ultimate survivor. Even at his worst he put everything into his music. So Far...So Good notwithstanding, he never let the music suffer. May he live to put out much more incredible music! I find it pathetic that Nick and Marty saw Dave as a dollar bill as opposed to an incredible opportunity to get that awesome lineup together again.
Greatest rhythm metal guitarist all time, all due respects to Hettfield, Ian. Those gentlemen couldn’t hold Dave’s jock musically imo...Brilliant musicianship...His rhythm playing is better than most Lead players.
LOL watch Paranoid live, he struggles picking 16ths. Not even in the same league. He couldn't play Master of Puppets or Blackened if his life depended on it.
@@mrmustard4478 everyone has off days, and we all know Hetfield is the king of down picking. You ever see them play Liar live? That's some fast down picking from mustaine. I could see Mustaine playing MOP, I can't see Hetfield being able to play Killing Is My Business or Bad Omen....especially up to speed.
@MrMustard.Not to mention he hires some of the best guitarists in the world! Chris, Marty, Chis B, Kiko...all those guys are as good as it gets & i would put all but Poland in front of Hammett! Kirk Hammett can’t survive without a wah pedal. & i disagree whole heartedly Mustaine in the 80’s taught Hettfield . Malcolm Young is the rythym king.. Wake Up Dead 4 Lf...
This is awesome - really great interview. Megadeth made some incredible records back in the day. I still listen to Rust in Peace every week. Respect to Dave for chatting at such a relaxed level here. Total respect to a true legend. Can't wait to hear the new material! :)
The new lineup with Kiko and Dirk is the absolute best since Marty and Nick and quite possibly their next album is the most anticipated since countdown because of the lineup!
Hey Dave thanks for making a record that made history in my life time...almost 50 and still listening to this album like around the time that it was released .
Where's the part from the article when Marty sent him some links of what the band's reunion should be and Marty sent him some j pop with Japanese girls singing lol
cant wait to see live dave you will see my smile man your right we as humans need this positive interaction are mental health is big to and the ignore us but with this voice we call metal they will never hold us back have been super depressed since they canceled the first time haven't seen ant live shows for over 3 years and i feel for the kids who haven't seen a show yet there is still hope.
Great interview , got to pick this book up. Saw that tour 1991, on the Clash of the Titans tour in Iowa. Was my third time seeing them, 86,88 before that. Met Marty and Nick after the show, got their autographs. Good times for METAL.
The man's a Legend, his bands a Legend, & was also in another Legendary band prior to making his 'own' band a Legend! Congrats & Thank U, 👏 U deserve all the Best & Dave We Love Ya 👍
Dave would have never fit, long term, with Metallica. He would have torn the band apart and James and Lars knew that. They just had SO much different personalities. Glad Dave recouped and Megadeth came to happen so now we have Awesome Metallica and Megadeth and they seem to all be friends again now also!!
Dave I don’t know if you see many comments from here but man I appreciate your truth...no bs. Your awesome. Really appreciate your contributions to this ride we call life. Keep it real. I know you will and peace. 🤘😎🤘

Rust and Peace and Master of Puppets are equally good albums. Its tough to pick between the two
Ride the Lightning for me
Always liked Dave's sarcastic sneer, his attitude / sense of humour. This is a more humble Dave, a great positive force in the world.

@@vicrattlehead6386 of course, two completely different players. Poland's solos on the demos are amazing as well, but very improvised, without any kind of shape or direction, more like licks runs rather than a solo
Been a fan of Megadeth since they Started. Back when I was a teen. Keep Bringing the Metal !
I misread the title and believed the poor guy passed away.
xd
Thank god that wasn't the case.
they did this on purpoesoe
The poor guy? No respect for Dave sheesh
Dave is a legend! Rust In Peace is one of my favorite albums of any genre.
Rust in Peace is one of the best albums ever released 🤘🏼🖤
Megadeth rocks!!🔥🔥🔥🤘
It's sad because now we'll never get to see the Rust In Peace lineup again. (RIP Nick Menza)
I’m amazed Dave is still alive, coherent, and still as lucid as ever.
As someone who has been a fan of Mega Deth from the beginning I can honestly say to see the turn around Dave has made as a person is amazing he as a person parallels his playing both just keep getting better and more interesting.
Rust in Peace is a masterpiece love it. I am glad that Dave got clean and sober. Dave is a great dude sober!
No matter what happens with anything, ever, Dave...I will always look up to you. Always.
Then God said, let there be Mustaine. Absolute legend
He IS God.
So Dave created himself? Explains sweating bullets.
@@emilymatthews2990 god, Mustaine is a lyrical genius.
Great interview Graham. I'll be honest, I'd be nervous as hell to interview Dave Mustaine. He is just such a huge presence. But you did super well with your questions and professionalism.
Really interesting insight to Justis Mustaine being very critical about the most recent albums and telling Dave they could be heavier. Almost like a mini manager/producer
My three favorite Megadeth albums:
Rust in Peace... The best thrash metal album ever.
United Abominations... Megadeth's return to making thrash...damn solid album
Peace Sells.... The first Megadeth album that I ever owned...still awesome.
i wish he would go back to playing songs off united its a very under rated album
This guy knows UA is underrated.
really cool interview, MEGADETH Rules \m/
Awesome interview, Nice work Graham!
All respect to Dave but he really does say that the band he's in at the time has the most chemistry..I get it, but in all honesty when Marty and Nick were in the band was without a doubt the best line up.
The original lineup is and always will be the best
@@jlobiafra yeah Gar And Chris I think maybe made slightly better music, I still think the chemistry with Nick and Marty is unprecedented.
@@boopah4365 I started listening to megadeth when killing is my business came out so I'll admit I'm biased towards the original line up. Personally I still think Peace Sells is their best album, no offense to rust in peace
@@jlobiafra yeah me too, I've been following Dave since his Metallica days..let's just agree they're both kick ass albums.
@@boopah4365 agreed
I just listened to the book on audio book. It was phenomenal! Everyone reads their own parts. I absolutely loved it!
Love him or hate him, ya can't change the fact that Mustaine is a fkn legend.
Also, Peace Sells is, imo, their best album. 🤘🖤😈
WAIT! I almost forgot about So Far, So Good, So What! THAT'S probably my favorite. Shit, it's so hard to pick just one, lol.
@Epiphany Party Yeah, I've heard the rumors, but this is he first time I'm hearing (reading) them firsthand. I became a fan in the mid-'80s and it was already commonly known he was a dick. Thanks for commenting.
@Epiphany Party Wow, that bad, eh? And I can only imagine what was going through your mind at that time. I've been INCREDIBLY lucky with the musicians I've met and/or became genuine friends with; Kurt Cobain gave me a sweater at a dumpy little garage kegger Nirvana played at. They were still working Bleach. Chris Cornell was quiet, polite, and gave me free tix when they sold out here in Seattle. Then there's Layne Staley, one of my closest friends ever. I can't talk about him or I'll get all emotional, lol.
I'm sorry Mustaine was a dick to you, but as long as you've never lost your passion for metal... You're all good. 😉🤘(Also, sorry for the life story I just typed, lmao. If you read til the end, you're fkn awesome and I appreciate ya. :)
@Epiphany Party Holy shit, you seriously need to write a book. I bet you've been a fly on the wall for some amazing convos/interactions.
If Dave or ANYONE yelled at my kid I'd punch 'em in the throat! Kurt and Layne died before my kids were born, unfortunately, because my 13 son is huge into Nirvana. He also likes Manson, TOOL, SoaD... Yeeeeah, I'm bragging a little, ha! My daughter (27) is into all that rap bullshit. I thought it was a phase!!! 😂
You're so right on about the memories... We'll always have those. A couple months ago I started writing down my "band stories"; I never wanna forget, and my son is super impressed. Haha
Hey chick, have a great day, thanks for your stories and I'm sorry you worked so hard for Dave and got so little in return. No wonder James booted him!!
@Epiphany Party OMG, I would LOVE that! Also, we'll be able to tell the stories that we can't say on UA-cam.😇LOL.
I'll hit you up later today. Now hurry up and erase your email address...ya never know what kinda freak will grab it, too. (I mean REAL freaks, not the cool kind, lmao)
Ttys sister!
Dave Mustaine is an awesome guy! I’ve always loved Megadeth! One of my eternal favorites!
Keep killin it!!!! Great interview Graham!
Last time i was this early he was still in MetallicA
Lmao
lmao true
@LeafyIsBanned yeah
What?!
No warning?
No Second chance?
wow this is probably one of the best interviews I've ever seen here on UA-cam ever rip nick menza
I’m a Peace Sells...But Who’s Buying girl but I love Rust In Peace too!!!
jenbunny1984 Peaces Sells... and Rust in Piece are phenomenal albums (Megadeth has a lot of those), but if I had to pick a favorite with zero thinking involved, it would be a tie between Killing is my Business and Countdown to Extinction. One is a fantastic debut, and the other is probably the most Megadeth-sounding record in their whole discography.
Richard Sinclair I love Killing is my Business too!! I think people overlook SFSGSW as well!! Megadeth just had some great gems 💎
@@jenbunny1984 I'm with you! I loved so far so good so what! Never understood the lack of respect for that one!!
Jack Tunney Yes indeed! Great songs!!!
Peace sells... absolutley crushes it
Rust is a masterpiece in its own rights... but peace sells was the one that got me hooked on megadeth for sure
Thx Loudwire, you really made my day with a new Megadeth video.👍👍
Dave seems to be more humble now than before
I saw the classic lineup on the Oxidation of the Nations tour in February 1991 at the Enmore theatre in Sydney. I had just marched out of Kapooka and was awaiting my Signallers course at the School of Artillery in Many. Happy days!
Rust in Peace is what first comes to mind when I think of a "perfect album".
I remember blasting this tape when I was 16 in the winter months of 1990-91.I lived in an isolated community called wassagamack first nation central east of Manitoba Canada. Me and my friends would drive around on the winter road and spark up a doobie and enjoy listening to "rust in peace". Those were awesome times.
Is it me or Dave’s glasses makes him look like if buddy holly was in a thrash band
It's not just you! 🤣
It's you, stupid.
@@maximusmax4557 im starting to smell salt. Calm down bro.
He looks so goofy tho i love it
Dave is the ultimate survivor. Even at his worst he put everything into his music. So Far...So Good notwithstanding, he never let the music suffer. May he live to put out much more incredible music! I find it pathetic that Nick and Marty saw Dave as a dollar bill as opposed to an incredible opportunity to get that awesome lineup together again.
Greatest rhythm metal guitarist all time, all due respects to Hettfield, Ian. Those gentlemen couldn’t hold Dave’s jock musically imo...Brilliant musicianship...His rhythm playing is better than most Lead players.
For sure, but he's also a helluva lead player as well.
@@orokusaki8291 in terms of leads hes very meh and one dimensional, hes said himself
LOL watch Paranoid live, he struggles picking 16ths. Not even in the same league. He couldn't play Master of Puppets or Blackened if his life depended on it.
@@mrmustard4478 everyone has off days, and we all know Hetfield is the king of down picking. You ever see them play Liar live? That's some fast down picking from mustaine. I could see Mustaine playing MOP, I can't see Hetfield being able to play Killing Is My Business or Bad Omen....especially up to speed.
@MrMustard.Not to mention he hires some of the best guitarists in the world! Chris, Marty, Chis B, Kiko...all those guys are as good as it gets & i would put all but Poland in front of Hammett! Kirk Hammett can’t survive without a wah pedal. & i disagree whole heartedly Mustaine in the 80’s taught Hettfield . Malcolm Young is the rythym king.. Wake Up Dead 4 Lf...
This is awesome - really great interview. Megadeth made some incredible records back in the day. I still listen to Rust in Peace every week. Respect to Dave for chatting at such a relaxed level here. Total respect to a true legend.
Can't wait to hear the new material! :)
The world needs a hero is a tragically underrated album
I SO agree!
And Dave, as long as you are making music, we will keep smiling. Love You!
stay healthy mr Mustaine, see you on tour.\m/
The new lineup with Kiko and Dirk is the absolute best since Marty and Nick and quite possibly their next album is the most anticipated since countdown because of the lineup!
His moment in some kind of monster is so great... I love how Lars had to get stuck with that meeting without James. Lol.
Hey Dave thanks for making a record that made history in my life time...almost 50 and still listening to this album like around the time that it was released .
I love Dave but godamn he's lookin more like Nick mcbrain with every passing day
@Von_Nightmare_ Luciferian hilarious. I'm not hating. I've met Dave several times.its called a joke. So shut it
@Von_Nightmare_ Luciferian he's been sober for almost 20 years
@Von_Nightmare_ Luciferian well be makes wine. But i meant more so the meth and heroin
Cancer tends 2 do that, ya fkn genius!!🤯
@@gizzy2403 make you look like nicko mcbrain?
Where's the part from the article when Marty sent him some links of what the band's reunion should be and Marty sent him some j pop with Japanese girls singing lol
Best thrash album. I'm so glad Dave left Metallica. We would have never got Rust in Peace if he hadn't.
He was fired
@@puigi I know. You don't need to tell me this.
Left? Lol. They booted his stupid ass.
Must it always be mentioned that he was in Metallica? You think that shows people what he can do when he will always be compared to Metallica?
Hornswoggle Lover39 when he bitched and whined for 30 years about it? Yes.
cant wait to see live dave you will see my smile man your right we as humans need this positive interaction are mental health is big to and the ignore us but with this voice we call metal they will never hold us back have been super depressed since they canceled the first time haven't seen ant live shows for over 3 years and i feel for the kids who haven't seen a show yet there is still hope.
Megadeth the best metal band of all time🔥 And Dave Mustain is the GOAT.
TH'RUST IN PEACE LEGENDARY JUSTIN AWESOME ADVICE HEAVENLY METALDETHED UP THY HEAVY DYST !
Sometimes I imagine James + Dave + Cliff + literally any drummer in the world.
Except lars....
Clive Burr
Dave lombardo
Duplantier
Lombardo
Great interview , got to pick this book up. Saw that tour 1991, on the Clash of the Titans tour in Iowa. Was my third time seeing them, 86,88 before that. Met Marty and Nick after the show, got their autographs. Good times for METAL.
I still prefer the band with Chris Poland and Gar Samuelson.
Same here
indeed.
The man's a Legend, his bands a Legend, & was also in another Legendary band prior to making his 'own' band a Legend! Congrats & Thank U, 👏 U deserve all the Best & Dave We Love Ya 👍
Dave would have never fit, long term, with Metallica. He would have torn the band apart and James and Lars knew that. They just had SO much different personalities.
Glad Dave recouped and Megadeth came to happen so now we have Awesome Metallica and Megadeth and they seem to all be friends again now also!!
Dave is an Alpha, James and Lars could not control him and every aspect of the music like they can with Kirk
Great interview, thank you.
Love you and your music Dave and can’t wait to hear more so looking forward
🤘🏻MEGADETH🤘🏻
Dave mustaine is that kind of dad that gives you cookies when your grounded
Or cocaine.
Yall are 🐟
The term Dave is looking for is Rashomon.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking because all I could think of is Kurosawa’s Rashomon film format
Dave Mustain!!!! MI ADMIRACIÓN!!!! TE ADORO! CUÍDATE MUCHOOOO Y A TU PRECIOSA FAMILIAAAA! EJEMPLO DE SUPERACIÓN!!!! 💪🏻🌟
Dave out here looking like a math teacher
🤣😂
I haven't seen any math teacher with long hair😐
he's a lookalike of my 10th grade chemistry teacher. she was not a very pretty lady...
@@MetricPolygon oh man😂
Dave I don’t know if you see many comments from here but man I appreciate your truth...no bs. Your awesome. Really appreciate your contributions to this ride we call life. Keep it real. I know you will and peace. 🤘😎🤘
That cancer really took a toll on him. Hope he’s doing well 🤘🏼
Great interview! Nice to see Dave really appreciate your knowledge and in depth understanding of the book.
So far, So good, So what is hardly ever mentioned. A totally underrated album which is in my top 3 for sure
"the greatest thrash album ever released" immediatley a huge smile on daves face
Davie in the thumbnail looks like a Facebook person who just witnessed a minion meme
@GOD of FUCK ?
