Dave Mustaine Interview

[sysmeta]

he compares himself with MALCOM YOUNG and JAMES HETFIELD, he is so awesome and its so right...

___METAL UP YOUR ASS___

[Beerisgood27]

megadeth and sesame street on the same show, those were the days

[coolscoob]

Dave Mustaine is just pure amazing...intelligent beyond belief for somebody who's been through so much, he's one of the best guitarists in the world

I'm glad Metallica cast him out. he was always too good for them anyway.

Megadeth fuckin rules

[Parag0n]

He's survived heroin, crack, meth, and every fucking narcotic, now he's sober and you can see that this guy is actually very aware of current world events and his music is relevant to the period.

Dave Mustaine will be in the annals of history, almost prophetic, an extremely intelligent man.

So glad they have Ellefson back and Chris Broderick is just simply fucking amazing.

MEGADETH!

[chunkycustard121]

@Hawkon33 you fucking loser

[Jester642]

@Hawkon33 Besides that of Duke Nukem and Bruce Lee.

[CGD26]

lmfao seseme street

[nostalgia43]

Cool. I saw him play with Metallica..Smart dude.

[ericsimaginaryfriend]

Iron MetaDeth??

[MattHXIV]

i dont know how he does it but he just writes catchy songs every time without fail even if the album itself is not particully amazing

[103littlebastard]

@Hawkon33 hahahahahahahahahahahahahahha.­..tooooooo funny

[meenandgreen]

he said kirk hammet just so he could bring him up in a converstation about him being number one hahaha

[GuitarHeroes257]

what video clip is in the background in the first minute ?

[sekoseko2323]

@GuitarHeroes257 Die dead enough from the system has failed album

[supperunknown]

he's such a smart and inspiring dude :O :)

i'm a girl but i kinda look up to him

[Anthraxinmysystem]

@supperunknown hes my idol

[niaminor91]

@supperunknown Me too D: I'm also a girl, and look up to him too D:

A very smart man, from what I learned from his book.

[boboblaw]

lol enough about this incredible metal album, now on to sesame streeet lol, great trasition

[rezmoneynwkubs]

dave mustaine rules. as does metallica and megadeth.

[PanterA1610]

It is Die Diead Enough... Great Song, love mustaine's work. Lyrical Genius

[embraceyourcomputer]

I love love love him!

[paulinchi]

did he say Metallica?

[FluidDelusions]

@paulinchi ´Tallica I believe he said...he does acknowledge James is a great rhythm player. And yeah, he is.

[Slashpython]

dave mustaine shares a blood link with chuck norris

[donnaholicmag]

exactly he's a dave wannabe

[Chewbe94]

what was the music video that they were showing in there called...

[monoBAYO]

It was for the song die dead enough I think.

[KillEmAllStudioify]

i think that was die dead enough

[steerclear036]

i thought metallica didnt really blow up until and justice for all...

[SpicyDragoon]

I was just pointing out the bitterness he must still feel where he doesn't just say James Hetfield.

[SpicyDragoon]

Notice how he said the rhythm guitar player for Metallica instead of saying James Hetfield from Metallica.

[krismason123456789]

@SpicyDragoon he also said the rhythm guitarst of AC / DC instead of his name as well. Not a big deal chief.... not a big deal

[SpicyDragoon]

I know but he's done it in other interviews. If he's doing interviews on guitars and there's something he'll say "My previous band". Nothing big at all but he must still feel some bitterness. He probably always will.

[pantalaemon]

David Scott Mustaine the motherfucking beast.

yeah he would be a good prez :P

[mrmarlboro80]

Dave Mustaine for President!!!!!

[edge1000]

this sounds kinda corny and all but if i had to, i would take a bullet for dave mustaine, hes my musical idol and megadeth is my favorite heavy metal band

[metrakos]

Mustaine is a dude! stick it to em Dave!

[shaaminwebber]

I love Kirsten Stewart She makes me cum

[MegADethBolt2]

Chuck Norris once had a near Dave Mustaine experience.

[killthenoob28]

that suck vinnie paul and dbd cauldent be in megadeth

[Rgrulez]

if that were the case we wouldnt have all them badass pantera albums. things worked good i think

[edge1000]

yeah but we woulnt have pantera's exelent music like the cbfh album

[fireeater93]

MEGADETH FTW!!!

[bhames22]

system has failed is a good album back in the day is fuking reli good track

[tyree876]

i love megadeth but system has failed was awful man but however his latest album united abominations was fucking amazing

[Sputnik1337]

Malcolm Young comes nowhere near James Hetfield or Dave Mustaine for rhythm guitarists. James Hetfield is better then his lead guitarist, and I think he deserves more credit then Kirk Hammet, and I think Dave has more skill then both of them. Can't wait for Megadeth's new album in September, You're the best band in the world that didn't make 3 good albums then start making shit.

[Sochilinda]

You can't compare malcom young with those other great guitarrist. it's not comparable at all. is a diferent kind of music and his function is completely diferent to the others. 3 of them are great in their own stuff.

[Sputnik1337]

well dave himself in this interview said the only 3 rhythm guitarists in the world that do what he does are himself, james hetfield, and the ac/dc rhythm guitarist (malcom young) so i was only expanding on that saying him and and james hetfield are both way better then malcolm young., i agree they shouldnt be compared, i was just saying id have to say malcolm young shouldnt be on that list.

[metalguitar1011]

kerry king would replace him

[Sputnik1337]

i was thinking that too, but i thot kerry king and jeff hanneman were both considered the lead guitarists? cuz they both solo just as often as each other, and they both seem to be equal in skill. correct me if im rong

[metalguitar1011]

lead/rythym same as in megadeth and metallica im not a huge slayer fan but i do like them although they are a little to creepy for me but yeah they do sound bout on the same skill level

[Sputnik1337]

well i kinda think kerry's a much better guitarist then dave and james, for a rhythm guitarist he's a fuckin mad guitarist

[metalguitar1011]

james yeah but dave also writes complex stuff and sings not so much screaming and watnot plus dave also has a gigantic factor in his music that kerry, not so much, he puts feel into his playing kerry just plays as fast and loud as he can

[LolEpicFailGuy]

Dave is a beast at rhythm too.

[ThrashinAllAround092]

thats true, but if you HAD to say ones lead and ones rhythm, kerry would be rhythm and jeff would be lead

[mrmikef10]

Seriously you are so wrong...

Malcolm is just far underrated..

[Sputnik1337]

i agree hes a great guitarist, i just think james and dave are like, 10 times as good

[AntarcticanCommunist]

Haha I hope they get him on again, I'd love to see that. Hes a smart guy good ideas.

[MaximusCerberus]

He's a smart guy with some smart ideas, but his personality is too confrontational, abrasive and pretentious to be taken seriously by most. I had the opportunity of meeting him at Gigantour and I was not impressed. Two of the fans in front of me were behaving very well and when they got their turn to meet him, Dave snubbed them outright. By the time I arrived, he just looked at me and I nodded, gave a half-ass smile and walked on.

[jimlovesearth2]

Dave's riffs are spellbind, no doubt. And he has penned some good tunes... the latest being Washington is next, sleepwalker, and burnt ice. But his lyrics are often laughably juvenile, and many of his songs are like b-movie monster flicks- very cheesy.

[Evilbottom]

You're thinking of Judas Priest

[GUITARxHEROxRULES]

woah

i love judas priest

i love megadeth more though

rob halford is just a fag though

[megadbag]

Woah dude,not cool.

[nightprowler93]

yeh a fag with a powerful ass voice

[metalguitar1011]

who

[600430]

Dave rules the world!!...I like how they end the segment with an upcoming Sesame Street anniversary...lol

[jimlovesearth2]

Politicians are crooked, no doubt. CEO's are also often wicked. But there is a wickedness in everyone. It's fine that Dave criticizes these people, but sometimes i wonder...isn't he an opportunist as well. Anytime you make a lot of money, haven't you done it by being an opportunist?

[G3LEBEL]

Well... he is smarter than Ulrich that's for sure!

[MoonlightJewelStar]

Dave Mustaine Rocks

[AllForRockNRoll]

i lik dave, but he seems kinda full of himself here....

[nicoriot23]

You cant be full of yourself if your the best

[traveler1994]

Dave Mustain is very well spoken

[elperverto7]

Watch his appearance on Jeopardy. You can find it here on youtube. He is incredibly smart!.

[Wrathofkala]

Honestly that is what impresses me most. The sterotype is that musicians (especially rock) are dumb .....well he aint that for sure.

[napalmdeathfromabove]

@traveler1994

for a winging pisstank

geezers a cunt end of.

[gun4hire]

His prayers were not answered

[Xgoodtimes]

Chuck Norris' only nemesis....is Chuck Norris!

[NanakiPrower]

Lolno.

[tigertankattack]

fuck you

[LilAznBoiii123]

lol as in torture you probably sit there frustrated trying to understand his lyrics

[cobraopts7]

daves a genious

[Miseryality]

LMAO

[ant265716]

i think Hawkon33 summed this thing up pretty well

[deflep86]

it seems like every interview he does he says or implies somethin about metallica

[Megadeth72]

dave mustaine > all your fav guitarist

_\m/

[wqert09]

damn dave is kinda of boringgg when he talks but kicksass on stage lol go dave.

[luda09860987603987]

he should write a book on his life

[iGhost68]

i think that its good that he complemented james for bein a good rythm player

[turkeygrandpa69]

PRAISE JESUS!!!!

[fanofthemusic1090]

Dave comes off as kind of a dick, but you've got to cut him slack. The guy hasn't had an easy life, but he's done a lot with it. He's written music that's consistently thoughtful, philosophical, and political. All bands dream of staying in their prime throughout their career; Megadeth lived it. And just listen to him talk; the guy's no moron, he keeps his eyes and ears open, and stays aware of what goes on in the world, something everyone is doing less and less of.

[CuntLunch]

Dave has basic surface smarts...

You guys that dub him a genius must really be really really dumb people

[fanofthemusic1090]

It's more than that; he's aware of what goes on and he forms opinions based on what he believes. People are doing that less and less nowadays. He's a creative and philosophical person, which I think is evident most on the album Countdown to Extinction.

[reflex1119]

eat my fuck you dick dave is smart and plays guitar i bet your dumb and suck at guitar so he's got two up on you fucko

[CuntLunch]

He lives in the Pentatonic Scale and now embraces Jesus Christ.....

I do neither, I knew for sure i was smarter than him, that made it 1-1 but i don't live in the Pentatonic Scale solely, HAHA!!!! i'm actually up 2-0 versus Dave

Reflexo im up 2-0 fucko

Cheers Wee Sacks..Have a nice day

[sabu43v3r]

dude im pretty sure your gay

[CuntLunch]

Just because you grow your hair long doesn't qualify you as a guitarist does it? You know that all too well by now HAHA!!!!

Go back to your parents basement and make more shitty noises, you're horrible

Just give up Wee Man...Have a good one

[sabu43v3r]

crabs wearing skirts..... dude acording to this book your super gay

[JuliusKesslers]

fuck off you hateing peace of shit die and drink whiskey

[123JoeD456]

He has golden locks.

You 2-Dave 1,00,000.

[ScatmanLabib]

Are you saying religous people arent smart?

[kcutz]

great post 5 stars!

[RUREDY2ROK]

can you say fucking retard.

[Frusciantefan77]

I never thought of CNN as being the kind of people who would interview someone like Dave.

[NickJonasFansite101]

Whoa at 0:27 is that Justice???? Omg! he got so old!!!

[StarlightGuitar]

Cuz u're a fucking retard! Go die

[H82Sayit]

ginger kid

[llpt1fan]

next to Roger Waters of Floyd, Dave was always one of the few people I considered idols of mine. He is simply way too cool!

[Precipitation]

Why do so many people assume that rock musicians are idiots? Many of them are college-educated and socially conscious. On top of that, excelling in music requires a intellect.

[Frusciantefan77]

I guess usually when people think of rock musicians they think of pot smoking hippies or crazy metalheads with Kiss-like makeup headbanging, but even most of those people are pretty inteligent.

[RUREDY2ROK]

You spelled intelligent wrong... Faggot.

[clapphamjunction]

What's your Fucking problem?

[Frusciantefan77]

Oh I'm sorry! I didn't realize that I was being followed by spelling Nazis!

[razer3230]

wow he/she forgot to put one L intelligent. Just because you spelled something wrong makes you gay? Also a faggot is also a bundle of twigs usually for firewood.

[ScatmanLabib]

You know, Dave isnt College educated but hes fucking GENIOUS!

[fanofthemusic1090]

Dave's a lot smarter than I thought he was.

[DirtBagBoy91]

wow.. even after everything that happened, he still gave james some credit. thats pretty cool man.

[areejpeeran08]

this guy is soo smart man!!!!!

it's hilarios wen he goes like

"i have to see ths shmoo everdayy in ma house and im getteing on of those khkhhhkhhh"

haha amazin guy!!!

DAVE MUSTAINE U RULE!!!!!!!!!\m/

[areejpeeran08]

oops i posted the rong comment on this video!!!!

honest mistake!!!!!

[Schneider10101]

Hehe.

[polarmidget]

Funny I'm watching this the day after OJ was sentenced to up to 33 years in jail and he mentions how OJ got away with murder. haha. Not really. As much as the judge made a point to say she wasn't punishing him for the murders he got away with.... gimme a break.

[Dertygian]

polarmidget: Why don't you give me a break. If your insinuation was correct, he'd be sentenced to death.

[walterp341]

( i dont want this to be mean) he actually said james hetfield is good, thats good, this is like 4 years old but it can only mean good things in the future, who knows maybe in the next couple years they both put out albums at the same time and tour together (hopefully, it waould be the biggest tour in history, until Zeppelin gets back together)

[Mystiik]

Hmm... Never really noticed how genious Mustaine is.. Always known that he is a guitar god though.

[godlikecharacta]

that's because people don't listen to his lyrics lol, he's fucking awesome!

[SpaceEternity]

LOL @ the end

The "B" is for birthday Sesame Street reaches a milestone.

That's an interesting interview too.

[blaklodge]

we love you dave! LONG LIVE DETH!!

[renegadeexpress1983]

Slash, Randy Rhoads, Jimmy Page own his ass and he would admit that himself prick! Glam Metal forever trash Thrash assholes!

[FenderUsa]

get raped

[parthalia]

shut up!

[Mystiik]

Idiot! Nobody of the guitarists you mentioned played in glam metal band.. Randy used to but after that he joined with ozzy and kicked some ass! All those 3 players are great! But your a fucking idiot!

[softrockcookie]

doesn't concern me what genre they're in. i'm not a guitar player and cannot say how good they all are, but what i've heard they're all three very very good and hard to compare to each other... i love the riffs of mustaine, he rocks!

[Mystiik]

Well yeah, putting bands into genres is kind of stupid actually :D just picked up because it was bugging me.. But its true that you cant compare these three. Completely diffrent styles . But they all are very cool and Mustaine too!

[amp710252853]

they bought their way out of crimes! i wonder what he thinks about the bailout probably agrees w/ me and its bull

[broadboulder]

fuck man! mustaine is damn intelligent!

[TheEddyMetal]

yeah man hes verry smart. His lyrics are some of Metal's most intelligent writing.

[lalbruiz]

If they gave me a chance to speak either to Mustaine or either one of Ulrich/Hetfield/Hammet, I´d go with Mustaine, think one could have a very intelligent and interesting conversation with him than with the others...but maybe I´m biased, and all of them are smart, don´t know them personally, obviously, he, he..

[lalbruiz]

It´s sad that no matter all the recognition and admiration Mustaine has, he still regrets the Metallica situation. Maybe if the Metallica guys had a heartfelt chat with him they could mend that, and I´m not talking about the pseudo confession seen in "Some Kind of Monster". Mustaine holds grudge for the way he was treated, but what the heck, who has sensitivity and maturity to solve a problem like that at 20? I don´t think much people had it, and certainly not these guys.

[lorddavoncarter]

Megadeth then Sesame Street. What a combo.

[PinkPantherPunk]

sweet whats it called the album??????

[EmperorCaoCao]

The system has failed

[PinkPantherPunk]

is it brand new?

[EmperorCaoCao]

It was released in 2004.

[hl2xstats666]

fuck sorry i switched it with " The world needs a hero!" sorry :D

[EmperorCaoCao]

not at all. It was released in 2004.

[hl2xstats666]

actually it was released in 2001

[imaball]

he thinks malcom young and james hetfeild and him are the best or angus young and kirt hammet?

[zevvay]

no he means rythem guitar not lead

[EmperorCaoCao]

He said rythme dude.so its not the latter.

[cocoabononohead]

He's a fucking genius.... Pure fucking GENIUS.

[MetallicA7102]

Dave Mustaine is a genius! His lyrics have so much meaning. As do Metallica's.

Metallica and Megadeth are both FUCKING AWESOME!!!

[dfereday]

Mustaine still writes metal for the thinking man. I can't wait till he has an "answer" to Metallica's latest return to heaviness. I know like many that Mustaine won't disappoint... He rarely ever has.

[tylerjamesstephens]

How do you figure?

[PunchinTheMunchkin]

Funny that this guy wrote anti-PMRC songs... he's right in both cases, however. Censorship is disastrous and he's also right that pop culture influences the HELL out of people, and not just kids. People are fucking mindless. Glad to see Mustaine grew up a little. Always was a smart guy, though, even when he was trying to be a dumbass.

[RapterX]

Dude, hes really good. leave him alone

[listentostrick9]

The System Has Failed...

this album is GREAT, it welcomes back Poland!!

MUSTAIN FOR PRESIDENT!!!

That album cover kicks ass!

Megadeth > EVERYONE!

[evercllear]

Mustaine is very intelligent. I like how he represents and shows everyone out there watching at home who was skeptical about a guy who makes metal music. Great interview Dave.

[SlitTheGutsTit]

shut up

[deliciousmorton]

CNN: where all the metalheads go for everything metal.

[austin33309]

woohoo 99,999th view.

[crazybrit101]

Mustaine for president.

[jeff05619]

hetfield is still number 1

[paulliboiro]

no hes not. LOL have you heard metallica now?? rofl.

[VxMegadethxV]

metallica sounds like a bunch of bullshit thats just remastered bullshit that was supposed to be on st anger faggot

[trc95]

Dave is a fucking legend

[VxMegadethxV]

Yeah dave is god lol im glad they booted him from metallica created an all new band that kicked metallica's ass

[VxMegadethxV]

ur a faggot

[godlikecharacta]

Then Why Are You Watching Him Dick Weed! Fuck You! Dave For President! Dave = God. Kirk Hammet Sucks!

[XxcrazysankexX]

Whoops, I meant Dave.

[XxcrazysankexX]

I found it hilarious they mentioned Sesame Street like three seconds after Dvae finished speaking. :)

[MonstersxEatxPeople]

I admire Dave Mustaine.

Not only for being an amazing guitarist.

But for also being very smart.

Its was kinda Funny how after they mentioned Sesame street.

dave mustaine rulz**!!
