Just before a 2008 concert in Élysée Montmartre, Paris, and 25 years after being kicked out from Metallica, metal world's most famous dismissed musician talks piano lessons, dealing with drugs and his exploration of black magic.

What do you mean I have a cavity? I brush my teeth when I have to.
underrated comment
lol great comment.
Haaaa, u win.
LMAO why does this comment not have atleast 1k likes???
That definitely sounded like a Megadeth lyric.
This may be the most energetic Dave interview ever. Lol
It's nice to see
I've been around drug users etc. enough to be fairly convinced Dave is on some shit here. I've NEVER seen him speak so fast and with that positive tone.
It shows how smart he was. How on he was.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
When he was young he used to speak faster and with a higher pitch tone in his voice.
This was 12 years ago but Dave looks 30 years older now...
My thoughts precisely
Chemo does a number on u bruh
And he didn't end up divorced, either.
Just two years later, he looks like a granny.
That's what alcoholism and drugs do to you
The Happiest Dave ever. EvER.
he was pretty happy around 2008, you get this vibe from many interviews around that time. United Abominations was a killer record, Ellefson got back on board a year later, it was indeed a second spring for Megadeth.
must have been the anesthesia
Well he was about to get a divorce and be single.
After the dentist !
@@AZ-vv1rf I thought David came back on thirteen not endgame
"People call me a legend, I guess probably because I died once"
just about spit my drink
Yeah i think he must still be on a lil gas from the dentist visit lmfao
He could be on about the times he overdosed. He's mentioned in other interviews that he's had near fatal drug use and was declared dead. He also attempted suicide in 1993
@@joshuadavis2505 yeah I know man, his autobio is one of my favourite books
Well, he is a legend by definition.
I don't know how he aged so fast in the last 7 years. He doesn't even look like this anymore.
Dave is a person who can without a doubt call himself a legend and no one will argue.
wont argue...will laugh though.
@@asedcopf he is a legend.
Put two bands together sold 60 million Albums, awesome guitar 🎸 player, awesome song writer, sick 😫 riffs created, awesome guitars 🎸, etc, etc 😎I think 🤔 he's a legend, MEGADETH RULZ, MEGADAVE RULZ, MEGAFAN 4EVER 💯🇵🇷🎸✌👊🤞🤘
@@asedcopf Because you're not one.
He sucks
"Am I guitar hero? Yes, I am a legend." Its amazing how Dave sometimes jokes and states the absolute reality at the same time. And this is a legendary interview, when Dave used to talk openly and without any restrains.
He is high as fuck on Adderall here. Lip smacking and rambling, dead give away.
"I sold 40 million albums with Metallica"...
Umm, no they stole a few riffs off you.
Then there's the gem "I was begging, I paid my dues" 🙄
Is there a puke emoji?
@@somewhatsomething4882 you obviously don't get how revolutionary Daves Metallica shit was. He wrote half the fuckin first album.
@@isopropyltoxicity A lot of people just don't get it, either because they weren't there, or they just don't know their stuff as well. Or because they are more into later stuff. But for the real metallers, we know how vital Dave was to the band.
@@hmpz36911 "the real metallers" haha you're not more metal than anyone else, dude, we're all fans. That sounds ridiculous.
"I like James. Lars, I could...take or leave."
Even most Metallica fans feel the same.
Is it weird that I read your comment just as he said it
Yes! I couldn't do without Kirk, but I'd find space for Dave. Fuck Lars. Though I respect him, I really do, but he doesn't really fit the band of virtuosos. Well, compared to him. I love Kirk, but losing Dave was a big blow. I get that he was probably an alcoholic ass back then, though. I can identify. But still. I like the guy.
@@Daedalus-ed5nd Lars didn't fit in Metallica ... Ok And Justice for Drum parts and composition are virtuosity. Lars composed Blackened main guitar riff. You can not say "I'm not juding any body " and you're a better person and consistantly talk shit on Metallica. I love Dave but he always was a Dick. Sorry. You can tell stupid thing on ANYBODY using these drunk or teenagers fooleries
If it is all he has to say it never change what all the industry says about Lars: the nicest person in this business. (Mike Portnoy.Dave Lombardo.)
But abviously you can kick a dog (and he'll still like you) but not kick him from the band...
(He thought that it was Lars' decision)
@@michaelromeo9567
1: Lars seems like a dick, agreed.
2: I love "...And justice for all".
3: Dave also seemed like a dick, at least when he was drinking.
4: I also respect Lars for what he is and has done.
5: I still don't quite feel that he fits.
@@Aone-oq8gp Lars wrote the Main GUITAR riff. Do your research.
This is a good interview because the guest is not interrupted every two minutes by the journalist.
Dave Mustaine is about as real as it gets. He just tells it like it is. My kind of person.
He tells it like he sees it. Big difference. I've caught Dave contradicting himself countless times, and he lives with many demons, so to speak.
@@hmpz36911 exactly.
Dave is as phony as it goes,he lies lot and deceives people.
@@hmpz36911 Dave is always real. You may get a different Dave at different times due to his mood or modern times. A lot of the changes were necessary for him to survive. Regardless of how you feel about his faith you have to realize that you either get that or you would have said RIP to him a long time ago. He didn't do it to betray anyone or sell out he did it to survive. The old Dave was killing him. He still tries to be as honest as possible and his heart is in the right place even if his opinions may or may not be depending on the subject.
@@johnwilliams8130 I can see your points. Pretty fair statements.
Dave comes across as a very articulate and intelligent guy.
It’s what brought him fame and fortune !
@@davidwaring6815 Too
In this interview**
If you look at his songs lyrics you know he’s a genius
The dude's crazy smart dude have you seen him on celebrity jeopardy? He's a fucking savant bro.
I don't think there's any other interview showing Dave this happy as this one
He was on drugs during this interview though. In his autobiography he talks about it
Considering James kicked his dog he should have popped him for sure
@@frfoljek68 yeah
@@oldmate99 deserved
I could listen to this guy for hours
Same
Am I the only one that’s just speechless because of the quality? It’s a 12 year old video, but it looks like it was filmed yesterday! It’s so weird watching a young Dave, where he looks like he’s in 2020.
The French do it better.
@Kay Theo yea true! Pretty sure this is from 2008, time flies

@@TRACKSARTEFr nah, when i think about... i dont think its 2008
His guitar playing is insane. This guy been in the trenches of life and don't think for a second he didn't fight and work his ass off to be LEGEND. RESPECTED
"i kicked his ass but he kicked my dog" that was so funny
That is messed up
I would have done the same to be honest!
"I was so mad when I _left_ Metallica."
Nice choice of words.
When i got KICKED on Metallica
Lol. Well, technically he was put on a bus and sent across country so I guess that's leaving the band in the literal sense
He should have gone to Rehab
@@watchlistenlearn YOU should have gone to rehab!!
(Just kidding, you don't need to I don't think. Unless you think it's a problem, but that's up to you. I don't think it is. You're not hurting anyone so it's probably fine).
@@465marko I dont have a problem. Sure I drink and smoke pot once in a while. But Dave thinks hes God lol
Man, according to Daves book this is around the time he was in rehab and Pam has asked for a divorced and Megadeth was basically over at this time. I don’t know if Dave was on drugs during this interview but he seems really happy, but in the book he describes it as a bad time in his life, he’s really able to hide the things he’s going through. Dave is a fighter man, still kicking ass.
What you wrote needs a summary.

@@oldskool4572 thanks thats very succinct.I understood.
One of the best Dave's interviews I've ever seen. He was really in a great mood and very open to talk about everything. Pleasure to listen.
true, very good interview
lmao he's on some fuckin drugs
Dude was 100% on something in this interview
Speaks 2x faster than normal.
Should call this video "David After Dentist".
I’d love to see Dave on the Joe Rogan podcast.
Bruh I was just thinking and wishing about it, god I hope so.
We need more people from the metal community on the podcast, like Dave, or Tom Araya, Nergal, Mario & Joe Duplantier... That would be cool
His interview with Alex Jones was cool as hell
Dave is certainly racist enough to be on Joe Rogan tbh
@@flanplan718 🤦♂️
Most positive interview of dave
L'une des meilleurs interview de Mustain que j'ai jamais vu ! Il devait être dans un excellent jour! J'ai adoré !
c'est quand même une sacrée grande gueule ^^
@@zak203 Carrément :) J'ai aimer comme il descend Lars Ulrich :D
Je dirais même qu'il est rayonnant !
@@yourilevesque2 C'est tout a fait ça ! Vous avez tout bien résumé :)
Pourquoi dans un bon jour ?
Il a pas l'air méchant le gars.
Il critique beaucoup mais faut le reconnaître, techniquement il est bien au dessus de Hammett ou metallica tout court..
Groupe moins commercial et c'est pas plus mal..
Quand tu vois metallica chanter avec l'autre merde de Lady gaga maintenant..
When Dave calls himself a legend all you can do is nod. What a man and what a story.
One of the best interviews I’ve seen with Dave. More about the openness of Dave. You can tell the way he’s talking that he’s telling the truth.. he’s like “fk it! Let it all out “.
Isnt that the only way to be?
L’interviewer est un génie... je pense qu’il a fait en sorte de mettre Dave dans un bon mood, il lui a ensuite posé des questions intéressantes, lui a fait sortir de sa zone de confort en parlant de Metallica etc.... résultat, une interview géniale. Merci
Bien vu... et de rien ;)
8:24 “ok I’m ready for my weedies!” That made me laugh so hard for some reason
10:58 " he's not a good drummer ! he really isn't ! any good drummer will tell you that he's not ! " Mega Dave is SAVAGE !
Truth comes in many forms.
Isn’t that accepted truth now? Considering his mistakes on stage and his technique in general...
Not saying he’s particularly bad, just what’s there about him today to make him exceptional?
About time someone said this publicly. And this interview is pre St.Anger :)
I was looking for that comment to dont repost it... mean dave hahahaha
That's is not savage, it's the truth. As a drummer Lars is not only unexceptional he is bad and as a human being he is a waste of space. I used to work for the company that supplied Metallica's lighting and stage sets and IMO Lars is an oxygen thief.
James is ok ...as long as Lars isn't in the same room.
Back in '89 or '90 I was on tour with Megadeth and Testament as part of the road crew and Dave is a really nice guy if a bit troubled. Good to hear he got over his drug thing! He liked them a bit too much and he wasn't all that choosy as long as he got off his head.
This is a great interview, Dave is really open about his mindset here. Love when he describes playing music as becoming a WEREWOLF or a VAMPIRE, which he always reminded me of on stage. A genuine Legend, hope he lives as long as count Dracula
I've never been a fan of Dave's music but the more I listen to him speak the more I like him. I find him refreshingly honest.
I was not ready for how good this interview was. I love how candid he is
Dave's a total badass!
I don't know many people that are that genuine. He is, however a very emotional person so I guess that makes him quite unpredictable, but also very interesting, which is why his interviews are always so divergent.
I guess the guys from Metallica never really got him. It's like he puts it: You're young, there's a lot of substance abuse and people collide because of it.. Shit happens. Of course in this interview he's grown emotionally and a lot more put together than in the old days, because for a lot of years he litterally wanted to bury James and Lars.
The thing I really admire about him is his endurance. He really is a fighter and a survivor who fought many battles, including one against cancer recently and I guess he had to learn some lessons the hard way along the way because they did not teach him much at home. But it takes a man to be this straightforward and open about your past and the way you've experienced it. Really quite a character! Hope to enjoy his music for many more years; It has been around 25 years thus far so I must be getting quite old as well ;-)
More like 35 years
@@jasoncurry207 'Hope to enjoy his music for many more years; It has been around 25 years FOR ME'
Oh gotcha lol
@@jasoncurry207 But come to realize it's closer to like 28 years. Countdown to Extinction was my first Megadeth album as a 13 year old and Rust in Peace my second. Both 2 of my favourite Megadeth albums.. Guess Rust is still my actual favourite, mainly because of its awesome riffs, cold/gulf war era theme and of course, Marty's epic solos :-)
Rare to see Mustaine so happy and polite
On top of ol' teacher! 😂😂😂
Excellente interview.
Dave semble avoir la grosse tête, et en même temps on peut se dire que son regard sur lui même est une forme de lucidité.
This is one of the BEST Rock interviews I've ever heard, thanks for posting.
Wow, thanks!
I could hear Dave tell stories all day.
He aged so quickly in the 20 tens.
The brains on this guy...
I'm so glad he got kicked and formed Megadeth, thank you Dave
Probably the coolest interview I’ve ever seen with Dave.
One of the realest musicians and people in the history of contemporary arts.
Lol yeah right
"Choose between me or Megadeth ".... women are crazy
As a woman I think she's crazy.. it says a lot x)
Did he divorce pam and get back together?
Une femme, quoi..
I'd never said that to dave lol
XD
Amazing how he said in that interview that he would never play again The Conjuring, however, he did it back in 2018. Time flies so fast.
Really!? That son of a gun just couldn’t resist the devil, only joking love Dave!
Yea he reconsidered it because he wanted to play it. Not because of the hex obviously but because it was a good song.
Were the lyrics the same though?
Glad he decided to play it again as it's in my top 3 favorite Megadeath songs
And a year after that he was diagnosed with throat cancer. The man upstairs does not play around. In Dave's words though, it is speculation. But it is eerie how those type of things connect so easily. It is very possible that Dave didn't tell the whole truth about the "hex" he put on the guy for physical damage. That person could well have been for a member of Metallica, which wound up being Cliff Burton. Not only was his leg completely destroyed, but he died in that bus accident. This is the excerpt that describes the unexplainable coincidences and events that occurred that day from his Wikipedia page:
In Sweden, on the Damage Inc. tour in support of Master of Puppets, the band members complained that the sleeping cubicles on their tour bus were unsatisfactory and uncomfortable. To decide who received pick of the bunks, Kirk Hammett and Burton drew playing cards.[16] On the evening of September 26, 1986, Burton won the game with an ace of spades, thereby getting the first choice of bunk. Burton turned to Hammett and said "I want your bunk"; Hammett then responded, "Fine, take my bunk, I'll sleep up front, it's probably better up there anyway." Burton was sleeping shortly before 7:00 a.m. on September 27 when, according to the driver, the bus skidded off the road (the E4, 12 miles (19 km) north of Ljungby),[17] and flipped onto the grass in Kronoberg County.[18] Burton was thrown through the window of the bus, which fell on top of him and killed him.
The bus driver said that the crash was caused by the bus hitting a patch of black ice on the road, but James Hetfield later stated that he first believed the bus flipped because the driver was drunk. Hetfield also stated that he walked long distances down the road looking for black ice and found none. When local freelance photographer Lennart Wennberg (who attended the crash scene the following morning) was asked in a later interview about the likelihood that black ice caused the accident, he said it was "out of the question" because the road was dry and the temperature around 2 °C (36 °F), above the freezing point of 0 °C (32 °F). This was confirmed by police who - like Hetfield - also found no ice on the road. Ljungby detective Arne Pettersson was reported in a local newspaper to have said the tracks at the accident site were exactly like ones seen when drivers fall asleep at the wheel. However, the driver stated under oath that he had slept during the day and was fully rested; his testimony was confirmed by the driver of a second tour bus that was carrying the band's crew and equipment.[17] The driver was determined not at fault for the accident and no charges were brought against him.[19]
Thank you so much for uploading this interview. So rich an full of information.
I actually cried after watching this as his childhood story is pretty much similar to mine. The same heartbroken feeling I had as a kid and still have when I get to the thoughts of my childhood and teen period of time. Thanks to him for speaking it out and letting people know they're not the only ones through this kinds of stuff. The most inspiring man I know.
baby
@@thedog7494 Hey baby 😘
Thanks for uploading this. Dave always gives great interviews. He looks so happy here.
Good interview at a very interesting time of his life: divorce (which never ended up happening in the end). A brilliant mind, a true metal icon. My teenage years’ idol. God bless you Dave Mustaine 🙏🏻❤️
Dang this man aged hella quick, i can't believe all my guitar heros are getting so old, it feels so weird honestly
Look at him now, if you think this is crazy. This is from 2008.
Ce mec est un geni, une legende et il le sait. Il l'était deja gamin, c'était en partie sa destinée mais il a travaillé pour faire en sorte d'y parvenir!🤘🏻
I love hearing anything Dave has to say 💖
Jesus Christ, can we imagine what Metallica would’ve been if Dave Mustaine stayed on board and Cliff Burton didn’t die ??
They would've been too good for the good of mankinf
They would have kicked Lars out of the band. Imagine people kicking you out of your band.
Cliff hated Dave
@@Ryan-kc5pl they all hated Dave, thats why they kicked him out
@@Ryan-kc5pl Dave and Cliff were best friends
Dave has one of the greatest metal stories ever.. True legend..
He’s definitely one of my guitar hero’s. I’ve listened and tried to play back several megadeth songs growing up. His riffs show the dedication he has to his craft, a master.
Great interview
He’s so precious
Le mustaine il etait dans une forme olympique ce jour là.A mon avis il avait bu "un peu" de vin...l'équipe de Arte a trouvé le truc pour le tenir de bonne humeur.
You Dave Mustaine are beyond a legend. You are a KING
I love this interview so much. always makes me feel like I got a friend in Dave
Eh beh, j'aurais adoré voir ça dans ma grosse période metal, super intéressant ! Merci Arte !
Je vous conseille de lire son livre autobiographique édité chez camion blanc, terrible et sans détours sur ses excès et sa personnalité vraiment complexe. Un, grand personnage, autodidacte dans sa pratique de la guitare et qui surclasse de loin (ce n'est que mon avis) celui qui a pris sa place kirk hammet élève de Satriani au passage. N'oublions jamais l'empreinte indélébile qu'il a laissé dans Metallica, qui n'aurait pas eu un départ aussi fulgurant leur permettant d'arriver au sommet. Grande carrière, grande technique, un humour noir qui l'a souvent fait passer pour un prétentieux..... même si il l'a été sans ça.
Dave Mustaine is still alive....... And well.!
J'ai chez moi en anglais super cool mais j'ai fais une pause j'en suis a quand il enregistre youthanasia
J'allais en parler, mais vous m'avez devancé !
Superbe livre en effet.
Tout d'accord Lemmy. Certains le trouveront prétentieux.Il a eu la "prétention" de vouloir être le meilleur. Tous les grands, en sport, musique, cinéma, ont cette prétention. Sans ça, il n'aurait pas survécu à son éviction de Metallica. Salutations musicales.
Je suis entièrement d'accord
I love he how calls Lars out 10:50
I'm laughing so hard at 3AM
One of the best interviews with Dave
This might be my favorite interview ever
Superbe interview! Un Dave Mustaine au top, sobre après sa période d'excès en tous genres, et avant le poids des ans (et de nouveaux excès de boisson si j'en crois ce que j'ai vu en concert)...
Il était marqué physiquement avant son cancer, j'espère qu'il en est ressorti revigoré! C'est incroyable l'énergie qu'il a.
Il est en tout ca mieux entouré que jamais actuellement avec un Ellefson rangé et croyant, in Kiko adorable, décontracté et créatif, et un batteur excellent (effectivement rien à voir avec Last Ulrich). Vivement le prochain album!
As a teen and young man I loved Metallica but as I've grown older, I can't get enough Megadeth. I love their technical, tight as hell sound
whow exactly the same. Metallica is more boring now fo me and Megadeth has plenty of cool riffs and soli to learn. besides, I seem to have seen an interview with Lars who said that his son preferred to listen to Megadeth more
@@berniedenhaut4803 I've those first 4 albums and appreciate the Black album, but even Death Magnetic bores me. As for Megadeth, Dystopia was a great album, as were the few before it. I love Dave's subject matter, too. He's waking people up
Thanks for all the great tunes Dave. Legend. 🤘
omg, this is the greatest interview ive ever seen with dave... love it...
Damn he sounded SO MUCH happier back then.
He’s had a lot of surgeries since then plus the years of abuse caught up so he’s aged quickly
Surprisingly daves in a happy disposition in this interview, which is rare
Love this interview
Pure delight, this interview
Damn even Dave's voice sounded like 1992 here.
It’s tragic how he started to look so olds after the diagnosis
One of the better Dave interviews
I can't count how many savage quotes there are in this interview xD
Love both Metallica and Megadeth :)
Cool video🤘🏻
You know whats cool, if you learn piano and get a general feel of the notes and scales and if you can read music you can pretty much learn any instrument
Can confirm
Fun fact I started in piano 🎹. Than ended up picking up a guitar the notes are very very similar
@@natoalvarez5762 Similar? They're exactly the same....
I love the way you are Mr Mustaine, thank you, I still remember the riffs of Holy wars I learnt when I was teenager, the best riffs in heavy metal history
Wow, this interview is very revealing...
I discovered MEGADETH in 6th grade in the 80's! HELL YEAH DAVE'S A LEGEND! Credit to being a member of Metallica wrote killer riffs and songs with them. Then rises from the ashes started "The State of The Art Speed Metal Band" MEGADETH!! Survived all the shit and still here.
I wish this was a hour long
great interview
What a great interview. Dave is on my list of artists I dont want anything to happen to them.
I love and respect Dave and have for years. Angry Dave is my spirit animal
one of the good Mustaine interviews
Excellent content and excellent interview
I saw a interview in 2010 and he looks like a completely different person.

Its great that he stayed so humble.
I absolutely adore Dave.He is a hero to me because he is honest and a surviver.I as always wish him the best of everything life has to offer.thank you metalica for giving us a fantastic guy!
Dave your absolutely a legend, the first time I seen Megadeth they were the opening band for Alice Cooper & I left the show with a Megadeth shirt & it never ended from there
I’m 46 years old and grew up knowing Megadeth and this is why I have so much respect for Jason newsted
Jason went through it - with those 2 clowns.
@@seagullpoet so Eric Bell 😅
Great interview, Dave is a super interesting person within the music industry.
I love the fact Dave is completely uncensored
I can understand Dave's cynicism and anger, because he had it rough growing up and he really has been hurt. All that pent up emotion went into Megadeths music which made them brilliant. He was the best guitarist in Metallica hands down Hetfield a close second but only in rhythm, the man is a legend. God he looks in his mid 70s now. A genius. Thanks Dave for the music 🎶.
