You did a fantastic job Brother. Great content.... I absolutely love Megadeth, Dave is far FAR better then anything Metallica has ever put out.... He's hungryer, meaner and more pissed off. Just all around BETTER. Of course, that's just my opinion, all be it 100% correct. Haha Killer upload dude 🤘🤘

Cheers man I really appreciate that! I agree, you're opinion is 100% correct haha 🤘

Thank you so much. I really enjoy your input on Megadeth’s career. Great interview.

As much as I love Metallica. I think I can finally see that they don't like to talk about this stuff because they feel guilty. Dave said James cried a little during his firing. It makes me wonder why those two never sat down for an interview together. I think we would get some interesting stories never told.

@@MetaITurtle dave is to honest and up front. James knows the screwed the man mustanin and won't admit his wrongs, and he dont like confrontation it wigs him out he run just like axle rose. Pmsl axle now thats a dude. read slash's his got great stories about axle running off when someone puts it on him like jumping out of slash's car moving coz slash need to talk to him about treating slash mum like shit instead of talking like a man he jumps camado rolls out the car.

fr bro they should make a «the dirt» style movie about him

​@@kristianlilleberg2719one of the best biopic I've ever seen the dirt, rock has so much interesting story to tell

@@dripgod1941 fr fr

Dave is a legend.

@@kristianlilleberg2719I would love to see a film like that about Korn

Geoff tate of queensreich wouldn't sign my dollar bill. Philadelphia spectrum around 86.

@@joemamma416 That sux! I love Queensryche, hard to believe he would be like that! But, I do believe you 100%. Probably why they broke up.

@@manlaw77 I was pretty disappointed at the time but hold no grudge. I like the band regardless. Maybe he didn't want to deface government property lol.

nice, Nick Menza gave me a signed drum stick, back in 92, and i got a pick back in 94, that was the days, Rust in peace is my fav album

@@mortenjrgensen9138 definitely my favorite album of that genre.

yea he never found the maturity enough to check his own ego, thus we get MegaDAVE, a group that is handpicked to follow a dictatorship more than an organic band lol

The problem was that, he was the star of Metallica and James didn't like that. He had to go because he was too good for the band.

For sure if you look at the early early days of Metallica concerts in between songs Dave was talking into the mic more than James. TRUTH 💯 FACTS

@@mikatu the whole question of daves kicking is more complicated than james wanting to be the star

@@mikatu ..and also because he thought --> 36:56

@Keith Nowak There's no denying what Metallica has achieved...especially during the Cliff era. Ever since Cliff died however, Metallica hasnt been the same. Dave on the other hand, he's had countless line up changes and he always pulls it off. That's because he runs the show. Metallica, everyone has to have a say...the difference between both shows.

Yep! He is waaaay too good of a riff/song writer to be in a band with James and Lars. It was the absolute best thing could ever have happened.

Amen ! Megadeth far exceeds the talent in Metallica

I agree Megadeth was born because of it and I believe Megadeth is a better band than Metallica I stopped listening to Metallica after Cliff passed I didn’t care for Justice and you know the rest of Metallica history.

@@scottenosh4548 didn't Jason leave because he had no say?

Dave and megadeath won't lie to you they'll tell you flat out yeah some of my members are drug addicts Coke heads outlaws criminals criminals we're not your saints we're not the saints of God we're the exact opposite Metallica on the other hand are too busy trying to be ultra boys I'm trying to be too better than everyone else you're in a f****** metal band not in a quieter

Could call it "High Speed Dirt".😉

@@grumpycricket hahaha

The Dirt is a bad template for a movie about a musician as honest and talented as Megadeth

How about MEGA DESTINY...? I think from daves hard go it just sounds so very applicable. God Bless him, and RIP Nick Menza...

The Dirt was a bad After School TV special of a Great Book.

@Red Skeleton yes, nice catch Mr. grammar police. Thanks.

Clash of the Titans! I was there. Slayer stopped the show briefly because someone kept throwing packs of firecrackers into the pit.

@@AZ-kr6ff You are correct bro. Wasn't Alice in chains amazing ? I was so impressed with them. Ironically after their set (right before Anthrax) I saw this long haired dude sitting up in the upper section, It was Mike Starr sitting with a girl. I walked over with my girlfriend and we instantly hit it off. He was also a really great guy.

@@AZ-kr6ff Tom Araya from Slayer on stage after stopping the song.. "Dude the 4th of July was yesterday" !

@@100chuckjones Wow, that's cool you met Starr! I was too cool for AIC, they weren't metal enough for me at the time. Haha I changed my view in time though. Yeah I forgot about the 4th of July line, but you're right. I remember him saying "we're not here to hurt each other", and the crowd kinda expressed disagreement with that sentiment ( at least in the front on the floor where I was), which seemed to disgust him a little bit, and he just said "keep it up and we won't be allowed to come back". I was standing just behind where the firecrackers we're going off and the crowd was packed tightly enough that they were landing on people's shoulders and going off right in their faces... must've kinda sucked for the few people who got nailed. I have a clear vision of it in my memory. At the end of their set Lombardo threw a stick and a couple guys both had their hand on it. Instead of fighting over it they agreed to break it in half, so me and my buddy followed them over to the stairs where they snapped it and we both got a few splinters. I've still got mine somewhere. I don't know if it had anything to do with the firecrackers or not, but they didn't come back to Maine until 1999 in Lewiston. I think I remember early in Anthrax's set, Belladonna came out and ran around with a big inflatable microphone that he held at his crotch and waved around like it was a dick. Haha That's about all I remember if the show, other than Mustaine standing there ripping on his guitar, as usual.

Rust in Peace was my first taste of Megadeth. The guy at the music shop used to work at a local rock club and every week I'd go down to buy an album or two and on one occasion he recommended that album to me. Never heard of the band before but listening to that album all the way through in one sitting, reading the lyrics and looking at the artwork it was a truly mind blowing experience. From Holy Wars and it's explicit description of what war usually entails and leaves you with going through to the end of the album where Dawn Patrol describes what life would be like after a nuclear apocalypse and then the last track Rust In Peace - Polaris telling it from the point of view of the atomic weapon itself that just wants to destroy everything. One of the greatest albums of all time.

One of the greatest albums of all time.

The entire rust in peace album is extremely well produced, and the musicianship displaced is sublime.

That alone explained Metallica is for beginners/kids and Megadeth is for badass/adults.

they definitely won the speed war...and the coke war, and the heroin war, and the pot war...Metallica definitely beat them in the booze war.

@@BatFan1 Imagine if Dave,Slash and Nicky Sixx were in same band🤣

same here

I mean Metallica was never really into a Speed War, only Mustaine ever really cared lmao.

He's had an amazingly interesting life!

Awesome that you made that move. Learning Megadeth songs on guitar was a great move that I have done!

Absolutely amazing history.

Megadeth was the shit. i got rust in peace on cassette and had a walkman the old one's that didnt have rewind had to play the cassette all the way then flipside and play the second half of the album or take it out and stick a pencil in the hole and spin till u think u have it in the right song. That was 91so i was in year one and was crazy about megadeth. And coz im autistic and was in to metal, parent's hated me to them i was a retarded devil lover and come from a broken home with a mother who was never home coz need to work. So meagdeth was my career and teacher

Agree a good book 🤘✌️🏴🎀🇦🇺

Is it me or is Lars a sociopath?

This post deserves a bunch of replies and thumbs up as it is correct on both points.

Definitely best of all time

That and MOP

Absolutely 100% the BEST metal album!

@@MY-cn5cxnah. Rust mops the floor with mop.

How was megadeth live in 86 ?

Agreed. He doesn't get the credit he deserves at all. The fact he hasn't been inducted to the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame yet is criminal. The Metallica subservient media still paints him as the bitter ex bad guy while Metallica are squeaky clean, no questions asked. . Whenever Metallica say anything about what happened,it's taken as gold,while the word "allegedly" is always attached to everything Dave says about hat happened back then..even the incident that led to Dave clobbering James for kicking his dog...read about that incident and it says "Hetfield allegedly kicked Mustaine's dog"..Ron McGoverney confirmed Mustaine's version of events and he had no reason to back him up!

@@alangregg5520 - James was always a prick just like Lars. A perfect example of this is when James was making fun of Layne Staley’s addiction on stage and someone hit the dipship upside his head with a bottle and he ended the show. Well, you kinda asked for that, James. You don’t think YOU were wrong? Oh and how shitty he and Lars treated Jason. I absolutely believe Dave Mustaine over Lars and James. Dave has his ways, but he’s not fake. With Dave, what you see is what you get. James is the one that always tried to act cool and humble.

*Deth

@@alangregg5520 There are far more deserving artists and musicians who deserve to be in that before this guy!

You mean himself

Well yeah megadeth riffs were always harder to play that Metallica riffs

Same, only I liked Metallica more and just heard of Megadeth until I actually started listening to Megadeth more in the recent months and now I love them just as much as Metallica lol.

This is true.............he actually has a certificate as well to prove it

The best comeback in metal history ❤

It's an excellent book and I completely agree with your statements! 🤘🏻

Exactly, I love everything, his fucking narcissistic attitude cracks me up, because he can back it up with intelligence

Or fists lol

I was really lucky to have cable in the 90s as a kid and I'd spend hours watching stuff like Behind The Music and Headbangers Ball but even still now I love watching all the old stuff on UKposts!

Not the big 4 but dimebag is the one who recommended they use Hanger 18 as an opener which stands to this day

Thanks!

Idk, dude. The line up now is pretty much spot on. Kiko is as off kilter as Poland, as emotionally engaging as Marty and as technical as Broderick. Dirk is so much like Gar, and Dave will tell you the same. And although when I think of Megadeth, I think of Ellefson, James is the better player. He strays way more off the guitar path and adds a dimension to the music Jr. doesn't. Ironically enough, Ellefson's most musical album is Risk. But, Lomenzo is such a killer player. When I think of Washington is Next, I hear the bassline. Not many Megadeth songs where you can say the bass is the more memorable part of a song. His contributions to United Abominations and Endgame cannot be overlooked. The guys adds so much. If this was the line up in the early 90's, they would be just as iconic as the RIP lineup.

@Josh Traffanstedt with all the time they have between albums you’d think they’ll have plenty of time to create another album as great as Ride the lighting.

you might check this out: Megadeth Behind The Music (Extended Version)

Thanks man!

"Not only was he kicked out of Metallica, The biggest rock band ever..". Huh? The biggest Rock band in the world? When he was kicked out of Metallica they hadn't even recorded an album yet? I first heard Metallica on the Metal Massacre compilations. "Hit The Lights" first, I believe, and another song with Dave and Ron. "Metal Militia", I believe..? Dave was kicked out right before making "Kill Em' All"! They hired Kirk from Exodus, and he had two weeks to learn the songs and the solos, before recording the album. My favorite Megadeth album was "Peace Sells". I loved the drummer from that album. Very prolific, almost like a Jazz drummer, and extremely talented. Then they got a "heavier" drummer. Saw them live with him, and he sounded prehistoric with mich less talent and creativity, but a heavy hitter. Last Megadeth show I saw was in an arena in Rochester, NY. Dave's always been great! But that lineup wasn't anything like "Peace Sells", and I never bought another of their albums. Metallica's Black album was the last I purchased. None since then though. Nothing very interesting after that. At least compared to the other albums.

Was it with Rust In Peace? If so, great introduction!

@@crypticreality8484 yes! It was Hangar 18!

@@dennischeng9541 I really like that whole album a lot! It screams and reeks of it's era! The era of arcade games, Terminator, and me being a kid and having no worries!! I really like 'Take No Prisoners', 'Five Magics', and 'Poison Was the Cure'. The rhythm guitar playing on those is phenomenal. It's like a solo for the rythm on 'Poison Was the Cure'. Dave M. And Marty F. are beasts!

@@crypticreality8484 great time indeed! Besides Hangar 18 I like Holy wars and Tornado of souls (just love that killer guitar solo) I would then proceed to listen to Peace sells and So far so good so what. They all had bad ass memorable tracks for a raging teen like myself to blast through when I wasn’t happy with life and try to look for an outlet to release my anger. Unfortunately after Youthanasia they weren’t the same anymore. RIP Nick Menza!

Dave didn't start Metallica, what are you talking about ? What 2 bands did dave start he started Deth, and.... what else

@@martinkuliza well musically he did, he wrote some of the material for metallicas 1st two albums

@@grahamjarman No... the statement was "Dave started the top 2 thrash meta bands of the 80s" implying one of them was metallica Dave didn't start metallica, simple as that i can't deny that dave wrote SOME of the material on Kill em all but you also can't deny that dave didn't found the bound which is what START THE BAND means

@@martinkuliza so cliff burton didnt help start metallica? i think ur missing the point w a technicality. so either lars or james started metallica, but it cant be both by that rationale. lol

@@grahamjarman No mate, i'm not missing any points, I've been following metallica since the beginning you are however changing the parameters See we are not talking about who HELPED to start it we are not talking about WHO WROTE A FEW SONGS the O.P.'s point (Which is what i was specifically commenting on, which you are reply to) is DAVE STARTED IT AND I SAID.... NO HE DIDN'T because he didn't. Now just to be clear on a few things because the way i see it You're a metallica fan, so am i , mate there's not need to argue if it's going in that direction, and maybe i'm not being clear and maybe you think i'm a troll or a hater or even a dave hater No i'm none of those I'm just saying the O.P's comment is incorrect I am acknowledging that Dave largely contributed on the first few albums and that he's an awesome guitarist I am acknowledging the awesomness of cliff (who could possibly argue that point) cliff didn't just help, Cliff basically rocketed them forward to success...... GOD BLESS CLIFF AND MAY HE REST IN PEACE but neither dave nor cliff started the band, which again, is the point the O.P. was commenting on Look, ... to keep this real ok if we look at what the O.P. was ACTUALLY TRYING TO SAY instead of strictly his words he was saying DAVE IS FUCKING AWESOME but he was trying to say also (and incorrectly) he is awesome because he started 2 of the greatest bands in metal well... HE IS AWESOME no one can doubt that , but first of all CREDIT WHERE IT'S DUE, You are not awesome just because you start a band, so he is wrong as to why dave is awesome and he is wrong that dave started metallica Dave has awesome things about him and then has dickhead things about him. if we want to debate dave started metallica, well he also got kicked from the band he started didn't he, and if we get to the crux of it, it's because he was young and drugs and money and all that bullshit and it sort of turns you into a dickhead so we can debate that if we like, which still doesn't get us anywhere LET'S UNDERSTAND IT FOR WHAT IT IS 1. Dave didn't start metallica, Lars and James did, but more correctly Lars, but then he sort of stole the name as well, LOL... but formally it was Lars so that is a fact and it shouldn't be changed or debated 2. fact 1 does not take any glory away from dave, Dave didn't start metallica, so the O.P is incorrect, but in saying that THE O.P. SHOULD HAVE CHOSEN A BETTER POINT OF ARGUMENT TO PRESENT DAVE IN LIKE..... HIS SPIDER TECHNIQUE, HIS AMAZING RIFF ABILITY , HIS UNIQUE STYLE, HIS UNWILLINGNESS TO GIVE UP, No one is doubting that dave it awesome, but i think some people think if i say he didn't start metallica it means he is less than what he is ... NO I'M NOT SAYING THAT i'm just saying he didn't start it , but that doesn't affect his awesomness because regardless he still started Megadeth which turned out to rule the world as well SO... WHAT ??? IS STARTING 1 MEGA BAND (PUN INTENDED) NOT ENOUGH ????? Dave is a fucking legend in his own right and i haven't taken anything away from that I'm just answering the O.P. for what he's saying , but i'm also correcting the mistake that's it mate no bullshit, no arguing , no taking honour away from anyone, just stating facts and also.. No i'm not missing any points, Not at all i just think you guys are misunderstanding me

Appreciate that man thanks!

Almost as iconic as the Behind The Music narrator.

1000%

Most people would despise Mustaine's voice but it's aptly a reflection of the nature of Megadeth. I couldn't imagine another voice singing Megadeth's songs. Same with Geddy Lee of Rush or Brian Johnson of AC/DC.

I like that "thinking mans thrash".

@Benson Shrimp I actually agree, but the general consensus is that they belong, so that’s why I included them, regardless of my personal opinion.

@Benson Shrimp Testament or Sepultura should override Anthrax. Sound of White Noise is really the only Anthrax album I dig

He literally says In the Metallica documentary that they gave Dave the part right away without even playing a single note but in this documentary he was warming up for 30 minutes idk man doesn’t add up lol

AC/DC? seriously?

@@williamcozart8158 Oh shit yeah! But is funny how black/death metal appeard at the same time as thrash. While Kill 'em All and Show no Mercy were coming out, there were demos of DeaTH (Mantas), Sodom, not to mention hardcore punk bands.

Sadly, they all suck...

girls dont go to those concerts, whats the point?

Boots is a cover and got him in trouble for changing a lyric

These boots live with Chris poland is something that doesn't get enough attention. Chris and gar were so good alot of people never really noticed because their fusion style was so different from daves. When I first got into megadeth I listened only to daves solos then overtime i listened more to chris polands solos and realized just how good he was

@@jacobgarcia2660 Yeah man Poland is a phenomenal player. It’s just completely different from a normal metal guitarist. He has that jazz influence in his playing and like you said if you really sit and listen to it you realize how good he is. Dave even said he played circles around him. I wish he and gar could have gotten their shit together because I feel like that era was the best megadeth.

@LoganMa98 shut the fuck up can't you just enjoy good music

@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS Boots is an insane cover if you can even call it a cover. He took a song from the 60s, used the lyrics and changed them up a bit and made it heavy as all hell
