Megadeth-Dave Mustaine CNN Interview

[AlbertDietrich]

Dave is intelligent, I always admired him.

[stlcards9000]

Yes! he recognized that Malcolm Young was one of the best rhythm guitar players!

[sataniswithu]

He should stick to music instead of politics.

[740sim]

Dave is God

[zacmetalfan]

George Bush is a sack of shit!

[trancemajestic]

@zacmetalfan And Dave is not a sack of shit

[mastersoprano]

4:37 on METAL \m/

[methanoic80]

when was this ??

[DefLeppardVanHalen]

Dave Mustaine's right...the system has failed.

[m82a1light50cal]

@DefLeppardVanHalen The real deal is was it ever successful?

[Samael78]

From Megadeth to Sesame Street...

[mkdilucca]

i love how he is not trashing one side but simply pointing out the flaws of our leaders haha

[ChrisGuitarSmith]

Dave really changed the intent of his music after a man though that A Tout Le Monde was telling him to commit suicide which he latter did.

[XJosephReyesX]

Terd sandwich for president or

Giant douch for the presedent

Coming 2012 lol

[Achilles32094]

@XJosephReyesX In the end you're always voting between a turd sandwich or a giant douche. South Park ftw!

[94Cioppa]

Nigger.

[danathefunkiest1]

@94Cioppa Idiot.

[OdinIsMyGuide]

Fuckin awesome Interview. I love how Dave Mustaine always busts out the real shit, n never holds back what needs to be said. Fuck yea!

[jslim39]

Dave for President, ham sandwich for vice President

[23chopperrob]

great interview!!!

[thefateshavewarned]

I can see how James Hettfield can play rhythm guitar like Dave, but Malcom Young's style is nowhere near Dave's, or any metal guitarist. I think Dave made a bit of an overstatement comparing himself to AC/DC. He may have been influenced by them, but I hear almost zero musical similarities between the two bands. Their not even of the same genre. If I would compare Mustaine's rhythm playing to anyone, it would be Tommy T. Baron of Coroner and Marc Biederman of Blind Illusion.

[OdinIsMyGuide]

@thefateshavewarned idk dude; if u see the way dave plays some of his chords n stuff and even every once in a while he plays a solo, n the way he utilises the pentatonic scale; but im not saying this as an acdc fan, cus i don't really like them, but as a musician that knows how to play Dav'es style in and out, I have to say i do hear and see the similarites here and there, tho they are quite subtle overall!

[marcussilvamgs]

Malcolm Young is the brains of AC/DC. Most riffs comes from his mind, like Back in Black Riff and Thunderstruck. And it's funny how he don't says James's name haha

[megadeth9000]

dave gives credit where credit is due

[PohatuJr]

I can see him comparing his style with James Hetfield but Malcom Young? I kinda see it but not so much as with James.

[jonnodtvdeit11]

if dave stands for usa he will be voted for the president

[frobinhood]

Malcom Young? i was actually expecting him to say Angus Young....

[Grizzlism]

@frobinhood

Malcolm writes the music

[Grizzlism]

@frobinhood

And he also said "rhythm guitarist".

[ignitemyass]

Dave is so smart.

[NameNotAlreadyTaken2]

@ignitemyass dave is kinda smart, but then kinda not. he gets what is right and wrong, he gets the injustice in the world, but he's gullible as fuck, and easily led down wrong paths. he turned into a christian fundie (holy shit) and apparently he's jumped onto the birther movement too. he's always been a sucker for patently ludicrous conspiracy theories.

he's a fucking legendary thrash guitar player, though.

[BakemonoTuralyon]

lol at the sesame street thing at the end

[MetallicaRush101]

thank god this actually wasn't their swan song

[Decorus11]

Dave Mustaine for president, that IS a politcal view! Vote for Dave!

[cjf799]

Hes fucking smarter than thed idiot presidents we did have

[ThePunishmentDue1]

DAVE MUSTAINE WOULD BE A BETTER PRESIDENT THAN OBAMA

[spinemaster2046]

@ThePunishmentDue1 yesssssss he wouldd!!!! MUSTAINE for president

[zer0dahero]

@ThePunishmentDue1 A ham sanwich would be better president that obama, so whats your point?

[IOutDoSyndicate]

@ThePunishmentDue1 Lets face it.. I think everyone would.

[ejlister]

@ThePunishmentDue1 So would the worms in my dog's poop.

[carlyluvszeepugs]

@ThePunishmentDue1 anyone would be better than obama. :P

[damslainte]

Mustaine = Junkie

[volumedealer1]

@damslainte = Moron

[damslainte]

@volumedealer1 = wank stain

[Cowenleetin]

Megadeth the system has failed us..... up next Sesame street reaches milestone. good ol democracy

[mark10579]

Putting Megadeth aside, I think this clip is the perfect representation of America's media. I'm talking about how it goes straight from a poignant political interview to WOOPEE! Sesame Street is having a birthday.

[brandonlkoenig]

It's good to see Dave exposing the flawed system, but I think he's just scratching the surface. There are so many lies and propaganda in the media, which he is apart of, it seems like he's just taking a left democratic approach at the corrupt republicans. Mean while left and right wing are from the same corrupt bird. I would say that politicians can't solve problems, so we need to look elsewhere for help.

[codebabe]

@brandonlkoenig I dont hear anything in this interview that is against republicans. in this interview he's not taking any side. only saying the system is flawed. thats not a liberal opinion. republicans believe that too, just from a different angle.

[ToolFan68]

Heroin for life??? WTF? Heroin sucks dude... trust me on that bud or even Dave for that matter. He's spent half his life just trying to quit the shit.

[HatBlack777]

Daves got his act together for a dude who was/IS addicted to HARD CORE substances for life!! He knows his political shit. HEROIN ADDICT 4 life

[tzimisce111]

So funny that he talked about the Clintons being opportunists and "looking forward to 2008". Dave's a Prophet! :P

[thrashbassist30]

I like how they go from Megadeth to Sesame Street. Awesome.

[jimmytheinsanecookie]

dave mustaine is a fucking god!

[MrToast422]

dave is a fucking fag

[mightywarriorx]

dave is a huge faggot please

[IronMaidenDoD]

@mightywarriorx Tell that to his face... Im sure he will make you the faggot.

[mightywarriorx]

@IronMaidenDoD Actually no, I don't think so. Everyone on the internet isn't 15.

[IronMaidenDoD]

@mightywarriorx Lol, alright. If you ever get a chance to fight Mustaine record it for me please? I wanna see him break your ribs.

[Superunknown07]

@mightywarriorx what did you just said ?

[Filip4295]

what song is it from 0:03-0:43? plz i need answer fast :O

[TheBakor]

@Filip4295 die dead enough

[Filip4295]

@TheBakor yeah i found it later, thank you very much anyway!!!!! :D

[bryt12693]

props to dave for acknowledging the Het. Dave is the man lol

[thesuperpizzaman]

When he said Metallica himself and AC/DC I was like wut?

[P2GearsOfWar]

Thumbs up if you think that Mustaine is still awesome!

[1562496]

HELLO EVERYONE

The metal militia will be attacking Justin Bieber's video (justin bieber baby ft. ludacris) on the FOURTH OF JULY! Assemble all fans of good music in every genre! (Jazz, Metal, Classical, Classic Rock etc.) On said date leave a comment giving your thoughts on JB, close the comment with -MM. Copy and paste this comment to all the good band videos!(Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, led zeppelin, black sabbath classical composers, jazz composers etc) Thumbs up this comment

[Honkadelic7]

woo!! megadeth!!

[Gyro911]

@MegaLDeth What funny about idiot die hards like you is that you can never discount metallica's early stuff which is the better then any other metal band. Do you all have case of amnesia or what? metallica play their old stuff mostly live anyway so cares what new material they have. All bands digress later in the years and never recapture their old magic, including megadeth, only metallicas old stuff and even new stuff is better

[RadioFriendlyNoise]

@Gyro911 Metallica's old stuff was and is still amazing. Just as Megadeth's is. You compare them Metallica and Megadeth were neck and neck. Then Metallica released the Black Album which is one of the most overrated albums in the history of music sending Metallica into the mainstream.

Sorry but Metallica's early stuff is not the better then anything by any other heavy metal band.

[Gyro911]

@RadioFriendlyNoise People like you are fools. Megadeth are light years behind metallica. Like it or not metallica was good enough to become a megaband despite not straying away from metal and Megadeth were never able to reach that appeal. Your an arrogant and ignorant prick, performers who are able to appeal to the masses are great as they exceed their genre, according to you Elvis and the Beatles arent great either, keep on living in your bubble who no one cares about

[RadioFriendlyNoise]

@Gyro911 Nah sorry I am not the fool. You are only trolling every Megadeth video saying the same thing.

BTW it is You're an arrogant ignorant prick. Actually I think The Beatles are one of if not the best band of all time as well as one of my favorite bands of all time.

Never said Metallica was not great they are just made out to be gods when Megadeth is just as good and not given the credit they deserve because of Mustaine's attitude.

You are a trolling moron who knows nothing.

[Gyro911]

@MegaLDeth Considering your a nobody your opinion is worth as much as a homeless bum or mental patient. The facts prove you to be a fool which is exactly what you are

[Gyro911]

@MegaLDeth LOL so you say risk is better then AJFA and the Black Album? what facts do you have to support that, it didnt outsell or hit higher on the billboards, As i said lay off the crack pipe. With your logic a club band that plays amongst 2 people is better then a signed band that plays to thousands

[Gyro911]

@MegaLDeth Risk is better then MOP? Lay off the crack pipe

[Gyro911]

This album actually sucks. Its neither aggressive or controversial. Its just Dave's self absorbed content that doesnt mix well with his instrumentals. The whole album sounds weak and the words arent even worth paying attention to because your yawning at the boring ass riffs and song structure.

[thesuperpizzaman]

@Gyro911 The system has failed? Most songs are amazing, but I agree some songs seem to be all about Dave

[ArticKing420]

I think its great how he acknowleges James Hetfield.. Even though the billboards say hes number 2 i think hes just as equal. DAVE FUCKIN MUSTAIN

[Pushmyfingerinmyeye]

Wait, did he just say that he can do the same as James Hetfield? I love Metallica more than Megadeth, but seriousley, Hetfield vs. Mustaine? Mustaine wins.

[cosmicforums]

This is the same person who went against the PMRC?! Then he says things like this?

[TodayAt420]

@cosmicforums i thught that was dee snider from twisted sister... i know mustaine wrote a song called hook in mouth about the pmrc though

[34thstreetman]

The guy is very bright.

[UnitedParadoxAmerica]

Martyred by reason, wil,l epitaph. ... F it is what I hear "Dave did his work"

[francosenese]

aflojale a la falopaa colorado alcahuetee! jaja

[emanuel9429]

grande colorado!!! mustaine es argentino!!!!!

[bucball37]

dave for president 2012

[ChudzProductions]

@bucball37

your only saying that because thats when the world going to end

[AlexiSkwisJGMetal]

@bucball37

seriously thats not bad idea,, that should be america with more metal

[kuzurame]

@bucball37 I wonder we can all ban together and pull that off. That would be awesome to have Dave for pres

[autopsiante]

@bucball37 Yes sir.

[BearDestroyer]

gotta love how they switch topics from megadeth to sesame street

[bittersweet12ful]

black metal is definitely a style all of its own,ive been into metal for years but those norwegian bands scare the shit out of me

[skaterobban]

@bittersweet12ful lol theres nothing to be scared of

[soadratmetc]

@bittersweet12ful Do things that completely suck generally scare you?

[yuulnevaknow]

@bittersweet12ful They're supposed to scare the shit out of us lol. :)

[kikkimikki]

Gotta love the subject after Death and destruction

[bearhead3]

Way to go Dave!!!

[BassPlayer5678]

whats the song in the beginning of the video?

[MetalliNick1993]

Die Dead Enough

[Anglolund]

Dave Mustang and now Brain Welch

[faceurhell]

One of thrash metal's biggest figures followed by Sesame Street? HARDCORE!!!

[HOBO8O8]

Almost no metal bands promote killing or suicide. anyone who uses that as a reason for not liking metal is an idiot. only one type of metal promotes terror and chaos and thats Black Metal. But thats just a bunch of crazy Norwegian assholes lol.XD

[MelonHeadFilmz]

who burn down churches, don't forget.

[KraZyRuskieFilms]

dave mustaine is a born again christian, he even didnt play in certain concerts because of antichrist bands that where playing.

its funny how the good bands get all the heat when they arent nearly as bad as others.

[MelonHeadFilmz]

not saying mustaine's like that. i know he's a christian, and i think that was a choice for the better for him. i hear he's trying to give up drugs and give up getting ratted. i read somewhere he's never without his pastor.

[metalhead91768]

Amen

[salsasnacker]

I disagree, those particular events that happened in Norway only involved about 3 bands and those are Mayhem, Burzum, and Emporer which I believe are still great bands. However if you look into the lyrics I don't think you will find many references to such topics. I think you should take back the generalization that they are "crazy assholes", there are many amazing new black metal bands today that aren't associated with those 3 bands that gave black metal a bad name.

[HOBO8O8]

well ya there are alot of good black metal bands but there are also more than three that support those types of acts

[salsasnacker]

Yeah, but those are the three who commited murder and got a lot of media attention. I just think that it is unfair that as soon as a band is labeled black metal they get labeled as "crazy assholes". What's great though is that this further supports your metal is harmless point. Even within the black metal genre only about 10-15% of the bands support that stuff.

[HOBO8O8]

im sorry but to me black metal is a bunch of crazy assholes. because they either act crazy which if fine but when u got bandmates killing eachother on stage and a lead singer blowing his brains out and the band using a picture of that as their album cover. i lose interest in that genre

[salsasnacker]

That's fine, you're entitled to your opinion but I.'ve met loads of really cool guys who play black metal and are mentally sane, laid back guys. The media only highlights the really extreme bands who do ridiculous things but they don't show you the hard working musicians that make an honest living playing the music rather than pulling off stupid stunts for the media. Go out and meet a few band members and your opinion will probably change.

[kalmahman48]

@HOBO8O8 i know mayhem did that but who else? that sounds pretty sick to me

[OpressionOffical]

@HOBO8O8

I was deep into Black Metal for a long time and NO band used a real dead body of a bandmate on a cover. Maybe your opinions have blinded you. Yeah i know one of Mayhem's bandmates killed the guitarist. But it was not of stage, so i do not know what band you would be talking about. Yes, there are fucked up people in Black Metal, but same as every genre. Look at rap artists that are in gangs and murder people, get away with it and thier icons. And MANY people in black are great people(:

[IronThrasher]

@OpressionOffical Take a look at the cover of Mayhem - Dawn of the Black Hearts.

[OpressionOffical]

@IronThrasher

Yeah i looked at it right after i wrote this, i'm a mayhem fan and i never saw it, so i was wrong :/

[BluntAnim]

@OpressionOffical

"Dead", is the nickname of Mayhem's first lead singer. He blew his brains out with a shotgun, leaving behind a suicide note apologizing about shooting a firearm indoors and also saying "excuse all the blood". "Euronymous" the old guitarist, came home to see Dead, dead on the floor, took a picture of it, and it was used for a bootleg album released later on.

Euronymous the old guitarist was stabbed to death several years later by Varg Vikernes, of band "Burzum".

[megslaythrax]

@BluntAnim .. well .. isnt tht pleasant lmao

[rooock4ever]

@HOBO8O8 They take their ideals too seriously :S I don't like the music either

[MrDirectGraffiti]

@HOBO8O8 u can't judge a genere cause of one band....

[IronThrasher]

@HOBO8O8 You are dead wrong. Black Metal is not a "bunch of crazy assholes." Infact many of the BM bands are good funny people, like Abbath in Immortal. You can't judge an entire genre by the actions of a very small percent of musicians in that genre. A BM singer did shoot himself, but you don't think that has happened in any other genre? Cobain doesn't ring a bell?

[BeyondTheGates87]

@HOBO8O8

but that's awesome...



[johnthegreek178]

@HOBO8O8 You should not reject awhole genre just be that. Check out Darkthrone and Rotting Christ. The Darkthrone guys seem to be really nice, especially Fenriz. About Rotting Christ, I haven't seen any video of them fooling around, but I've read interviws of their frontman, Sakis Tolis and he seems to be just a regular guy. Also a great sub genre of black and thrash is black thrash metal (duh!). Deströyer 666 is badass (don't let the name fool you)! There's a lot of great black metal.

[DysfunctionalDennis]

@HOBO8O8 What black meal band has killed each other onstage? And that cover you're talking about... Mayhem didn't release that, Hellhammer (apparently) sent the pic to pen pall of Euronymous that released it. If you don't get the music, fair enough, but at least get your facts straight.

[MikeyboyMovies]

@DysfunctionalDennis I've read about that so much, I don't even know what's true and what's not.

[Ben1990H]

@HOBO8O8 i agree black metal sucks.

[grape43soda]

OJ didnt do it!!

lol

idk i just like saying that

[redheadhistorian]

Im a metalhead and it doesnt make me wanna kill. If I killed because of any music it would prolly be because someone ELSE was blasting rap, not metal.

[HOBO8O8]

I Agree

[merocket]

@redheadhistorian i'm not a rap fan but let's not put down other genres for no reason, there's loads of good rap music out there, just like nickelback doesn't represent all rock, shity gangsta music doesn't represent all rap, i imagine rap fans get pissed when their music is viewed in such a 1 dimensional way, all genres of music are beautiful in their own ways.

[redheadhistorian]

@merocket I don't believe all music is equal. Some genres rely on very critical timing and concepts that have crossed into said genres from hundreds of years of music and education. I like about 15 rap sngs in he world. Its just a rare genre for me to hear and actually like because there aren't talented musicians in the background to focus on usually.

[redheadhistorian]

@merocket I like to compare music to wine. Sure there are a few who prefer wine made out of apples in the back of a prison toilet but most people who understand the history, process, and tastes of wines will likely go for something that had more though and care during creation.

[redheadhistorian]

@redheadhistorian *thought*

[merocket]

@redheadhistorian that's a disgusting analogy. i feel sorry your as sheltered as you are.

[jkdredd]

@redheadhistorian or country or easy listening

[PrepsAndEmosSuck]

@redheadhistorian real rap is lyrically poignant, hip hop sucks

[lowercase18]

@redheadhistorian the only kids who kill cause of metal are stupid a#* kids. they kill it for us all, give us a bad image. this video is awsome, how dave bashes politics and the system. ur message is funny jeje

[0ZAZU]

@redheadhistorian i agree

[jacobs87]

so dave is censoring himself because of kids WTF!

[gamefan101]

yeah he took a lot of hell because of a toute le monde because a kid in canada killed himself because of the song and mtv believed that it influenced suicide although it really doesnt

[bodoron]

Yeah I'm sore tired of people blaming music and computer games for violence. If people weren't already inclined to do whatever they wouldn't do it. If that kid didn't have problems to begin with, he wouldn't just commit suicide out of the blue.

[gamefan101]

exactly friend its so crazy now and a toute le monde is such a great and quite touching song and it was denied it really sucks

[sweetseasons1]

he's a father.Kind of changes your perspective.

[jacobs87]

thats crap! so now he will start singing little red ridding hood. dont let your kids listen to the fucking record. thats a good parent!

[Riverview46]

i thought the system has failed was a pretty sick album

[Tiki656]

SESAME STREET REACHES A MILESTONE

[KristianCramer]

omg i just love fan boys... and i love lying

[mattkerslake]

James is the best.

[Tallica9000]

Ron McGovney is better

[mattkerslake]

as is Chad Kroeger

[SpeedOfThrash]

Fuck No Cliff Burton Was the Best

Fuck Ron Mcgovney

[DoctorNick3]

Lol why even mention Ron? He sucked.

[AbstractMan23]

haha good luck "staying grounded" dave...!

[swest666]

No shit.

[KiddNemes1s]

to talk about how your mother is a horrible lay but he still fucks her cuz she pays the bills and talks shit about you.

[humantorch1993]

im with you

[arkee71]

hetfield ....bitch!

[johnbsa]

ya!!!!

[Gepduarsin]

fuck you

[cereal4dinner]

lol a sesime street story right after megadeth interview

[islespatrick]

how old is this interview

[elgatonyc]

What's the song/video at the beginning?

[DayzieeXBL]

Die Dead Enouph - Megadeth

[Dimefan91]

Die Dead Enough off the 2004 album The System Has Failed

[elgatonyc]

thnx

[Marshallsg]

Malcolm Young from AC/DC is one of the greatest rhythm players ever.

[efhve]

i agree, but James Hetfield is also one of the VERY best. and no, i am not a Metallica fan.

[Marshallsg]

Oh God no doubt of course he is. And I'm not a Metallica fan either.

[MindlessGimboid01]

Shame

[JohnBurninate]

Haha,malcom is one of the best song writers ever.But as a guitarist he leaves much more to be wanted.Dave is 2980923840234 x's more skilled than malcom but both are amazing song writers.

[ManBearPig2177]

lmao, sesame street
