Dave Mustaine And The Democratic Convention

[Miguelitolilmex]

1:26 Lars Ulrich

[cjf7991]

@Miguelitolilmex LMAO ..hahaha

[RESTxINxPIECEZ]

kind of weird.. daves lyrics and interviews he seems to have a conservative view on things. even in his book he says he liked bush. of course, he is alot older now. and usually the conservatives are people that are older, and liberals are the younger population.

[Xander5820]

hahah, 0:55-1:00 dave is the man

[TheJagm80]

@Xander5820 What did that old man to dave?You could hear you?

[006sick]

Wow... the 90s!!!

I'd like to see more videos like this, I mean musicians get into politics

[MetalGrain]

Shit, I didn't recognize him with the mustache :l

[Esmicompra]

those glasses...really necessary?

[newyorkcityparkour]

Dave looked so different...

[Metaldiabolic]

it's a bit strange for me to see mustaine doing a show on MTV because in one of his interwievs he had a strong attitude against MTV and it's comercial side.

[EvilRazorback666]

THIS WAS MY LIFE...

[666SHADOWDIED]

Mustaine and politics haha

[metalpsips]

90's were so bright back then!!!just look at it!!!

[anthrax231]

LMFOA Dave Mustaine "he knows is right n he knows where to get beer too" 0:55 - 0:58

[ZiggyHernandez]

0:55 most awesome line ever heard during the DNC!

[s1r0tt]

all the people dave interviews in this vid are saying all the right things then he interviews the colored man and all he can say is how he dosent have a say in anything.... so fucking typical

[lgur7204]

so he was a democrat and now a republican?

[s1r0tt]

@lgur7204 no hes ot part of any "party" he says so himslef

[pantera2012]

@midnightfury661: I'm adding 2 and 2 together, that's what I'm doing. There are tons of people out there (of all races) who complain about how they're so helpless and how they can't get anywhere in life, when all they do is sit on their ass all day waiting for a handout. Maybe I'm wrong, who knows? And I could really care less about being offensive, because sometimes the truth hurts.

[DTOMUSA74]

@pantera2012 You said it beautifully and don't apologize for anything. It needs to be said more often. The whining minorities should earn respect and not demand it. Stop breeding like animals, raping, robbing, and leaving your own community in filth and maybe the rest of us might treat you as equals. I for one don't do any of those things so the ones who do are not my equals. I am above that behavior and those who act like that should be shunned when asking for handouts.

[pantera2012]

@midnightfury661: I'm sick and tired of people bitching about things, when they are the one's who are holding themselves back. Sometimes in life you've got to make things happen instead of relying on other people.

[pantera2012]

@midnightfury661: No, it doesn't. What I meant by using the word "ready" is that if he cared more about what he could do than how he looked, he would've been in a better position to accomplish more in life. He himself talked about how Blacks could only reach a certain level, but then he's spending money on shit that he doesn't need. He doesn't NEED sunglasses to better himself, he doesn't NEED a hat to better himself, he doesn't NEED a gold chain to better himself.

[pantera2012]

2:00... I'm not saying this because I'm against Blacks, but maybe if that guy had spent money on books and other learning materials instead of a chain, sunglasses, and a hat, he would have been more "ready" to go somewhere in life. Just saying...

[GHeroandRScape]

@pantera2012 haha yea

[anival2sorto]

@pantera2012 Why are you against blacks?

[pantera2012]

@anival2sorto: Are you serious or are you joking?

[anival2sorto]

@pantera2012 Lol dude i was fucking with you xD

[pantera2012]

@anival2sorto: Ha ha! I was about to say man.

[anival2sorto]

@pantera2012 xD but no just wanted some fun dude*haha but x]*

[Godishs]

1:30 That guy is the lost brother of Lars Ulrich haha

[physicalgraffiti714]

Dave wears glasses? waaaah

[severedheadkisskiss]

Justin Bieber loves the Democrats, 'nuff said.

[ben10sk8r]

@severedheadkisskiss what the fuck are you trying to say. if it wernt for democrats your science teachers would be trying to teacH you that "GOD CREATED THE EARTH IN SEVEN DAYS"

[ben10sk8r]

@RictaWave what exactly are you trying to say? because if you are questioning the fact that a series of planetary impacts, resulting in rotating fragments in space that eventually condensed and hardened into the earth and its moon, along with every other planet in the solar system, than you must believe that the earth WAS created in seven days, by the hand of god. if the later is what you believe, i suggest you take a more aware outlook on life and open your eyes a bit, because its true.

[RictaWave]

@ben10sk8r Well im trying to say that nothing simply creates it's self, no matter how much time has passed, and if we did evolve from apes why do they still exist, why didnt they die off millions of years ago?

[PanoramixUN]

@RictaWave hahahah you're kidding rigth?

[Dalittheuntouchable]

@RictaWave We didn't evolve from apes. We share a common ancestor.

[Dalittheuntouchable]

@RictaWave Do you seriously try to deny evolution? There was a scientist who proved that evolution does occur in single cell organisms by E. Coli bacteria developing the ability to absorb calcium. This was after many generations of E. Coli, but it happened. A monkey-esque creature didn't just birth a baby, it took millions of years. Even since modern man has been around, we've evolved. This is evident in society and the general size of people.

[Dalittheuntouchable]

@RictaWave Then what you think evolution is would be wrong. Evolution is the adaptation of a species to it's environment. Whether this is a physical trait or a mental trait, it continues in humans.

The earth is undeniably 4.5 or so BILLION years old. We can prove this via the decay of elements found in the lower crust and ocean floor. All elements have an exponential decay, which can be measured and applied to time.

[RictaWave]

@Dalittheuntouchable Look dude i honestly dont care if you dont belive in God and YOU shouldnt care if i do, especialy if you so srongly belive in evolution. So why dont you back the FUCK OFF and leave ME ALONE!!!

[Dalittheuntouchable]

@RictaWave Look, Dude, You need to fuck off. I replied to you here because YOU were attempting to push your religion on somebody else, but like so many religious zealots, when presented with more evidence than you can provide to support YOUR opinion I'm the aggressor. If you honestly believe some of the things you have said, learn to think a bit more goddamn realistically. I believe the pope has even denounced Young Earth Creationism because of the clear evidence against it.

[Dalittheuntouchable]

@RictaWave way to get your comment removed. As a Christian, you should come to realize at some point there are 2 major types of christians, one being Catholic, the other being the Protestant religions. Catholics came first, of course (other wise, we wouldn't have needed Martin Luther). You have no right to defend God on a comment that was NOT made to you. I, however, have the right to stick up for an actual, existing person when you berate them with your senseless dribble.

[Dalittheuntouchable]

@RictaWave Well, your way of stating your opinion was to harass a man about how 'dumb' you think his was. Your demeaning attitude and random insertion into what was hardly an argument is what I would consider pushing your religion onto somebody. Now, as far as Christians go, Catholics are pretty bat-shit crazy and believe a lot of the crap you have said.

It's awfully convenient that you refuse to have a lasting conversation on a subject you are strong about. Could it be the inevitable loss?

[Dalittheuntouchable]

@RictaWave Catholics are Christians. One can even suffice to say that Catholics are the original Christians. Every other Christian religion was caused by the Protestant Reformation having occurred, where Martin Luther declared the actions of the Catholic Church as being against the message of the religion.

I'm telling you that you are an idiot because you are refusing to believe a well established (I should say better) theory when the evidence to support it is right in front of you.

[RictaWave]

@Dalittheuntouchable Look im not willing to admit that, and Catholics are not the original Christians or i should say that's not what ive been taught, what ive been taught is that Christianity is basicly the progression of Judisum eccept that Christians belive in Jesus , and when ever i go to church were always relating the bible to the jewish bible, and also i havent been taught anything about evolution eccept in pokemon in fact i wasnt even alowed to play Pokemon when i was younger.

[Dalittheuntouchable]

@RictaWave Yes, Christians, Jews, and Muslims are all Abrahaimic religions, which baffles me why they fight so much as together they control almost half of the earths population. Historically, the first established European Christian church was, in fact, the Catholic church, which many were forced into believing. How sad is it that a religion you didn't choose prevented you from playing games like Pokemon? Let's be honest, your parents chose your religion. That's fucking sick.

[RictaWave]

@Dalittheuntouchable Yes your right your parents choose, and it sucks i couldnt even play Pokemon. But there has been fighting going on between Jews and Muslims for a very long time and i dont know if it will end. I even sometimes doubt my own religion but i think i would be a little lost with out beliving things ive been taught since i was a child, and i dont thinks so wrong in beliving in an afterlife. But you may be completly right.

[Dalittheuntouchable]

@RictaWave There is absolutely nothing wrong in believing in religion, but it's when people are taught to fight for outdated and all but disproven beliefs for who knows what reasons does it become wrong. To teach your children that scientists are mostly liars and depriving them of some of the greatest sources of joy because it conflicts with an outdated opinion seems unfair to the child. I can understand how difficult it may seem to take such a drastic change, but (to be cont.)

[Dalittheuntouchable]

@RictaWave (cont'd.) when that religion has only closed doors to you and who knows how many others, it's worth giving a fair shot to other views.

And as far as the whole Christian v. Muslim v. Jew thing, they started the warfare simply because of territory disputes. That's sad. The Muslims and Christians hate each other for wars that happened a thousand years ago. Jews and Muslims hate each other because they can't live as neighbors. It's things like that which cause my lack of faith.

[Dalittheuntouchable]

@RictaWave what I suggest to you, sir or misses, is that you research more religions than your current one. Maybe even consider Agnosticism or Atheism. Clearly, you had no choice in what to believe as you were never taught the clear evidence of Evolution and never had the chance to divulge in leisurely activities for what I assume was religious zealotry. Now, when all is said and done, even if you maintain your religion, it would be better to have learned about the world closed to you.

[Dalittheuntouchable]

@RictaWave Also, in the case of God, what created God? The perfect sphere makes no sense. Couldn't the universe have always been?

[RictaWave]

@Dalittheuntouchable Well that seems to be the reoccuring question, but couldnt God have always been?

[Dalittheuntouchable]

@RictaWave It makes more sense that the universe has always been opposed to God. Examination of just about everything in the universe reveals that things naturally become more complex over time. Where in the equation does a being more complex than the Universe itself coming before the universe make sense?

[severedheadkisskiss]

What the fuckin fuck is this fuckin shit, fuckin' Mtv ROCK THE VOTE or some shit?

SLow roast in HELL DemoniKKKrats.

[angelds1990]

i feel what that black man was saying(im mexican)lol

[whitewzl]

these guys need drum lessons lol :)

[ScottBeoWolfBlitzer]

This video always generates my favorite comments.

[jonesey5168]

i think that Dave has stopped believing in the right-left paradigm...thank the metal gods for that

[AnotherPostcard]

2:44. Right on, Mr Mustaine. Right on.

[yadrition]

if dave were president what would be the first thing he would do?

[TRIPLEOGV666]

@yadrition

throw metallica out of the US

[biggzcorey]

He should have jammed with Bill Clinton

[Jtmoney363636]

I wonder if he would still stand behind a party so far left they are almost falling off the spectrum.

[xxpeniskingxx]

Dave Mustain should become Stalinist and then rule over us all with a hard dick.

[GuitarEXman]

DAVE MUSTAINE FOR PRESIDENT !!!

[ThrashingSlayer]

MTV used to be cool...what the fuck happened?

[MrNikodemu5]

@ThrashingSlayer pop bullshit got more powerful :(

[ZOSOrulz1]

@ThrashingSlayer Rap

[mattman1127]

4:18

....dude..hair...

[daydayakasmokey]

he needed glasses at one point?

[bersercs5]

@daydayakasmokey

Yeah he used to wear them until he had the right treatment to fix his sight arround the 90's

[chompykitty]

@daydayakasmokey yea he had lasik eye surgery

[metallicaboy123]

KICK THE CHAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ibik]

1.44 what song is that?

[metalonly456]

the guy at 2:02 basically wants a communist type of country. typical ignorant person that says black people are not treated equally. THIS IS A CAPITALIST COUNTRY. things aren't just given to you. everyone has equal rights and opportunities. it's up to you to fulfill what you want. there's reasons why people are in poverty, and there's reasons why people are wealthy. THEY DID IT TO THEMSELVES. so for every other person that's like him, GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT AND QUIT WHINING.

[magicyte]

@metalonly456 Use your brain....explain to me how with a currency based system it would be possible for everybody to live without poverty. You have no clue what you're talking about. Give everyone 5 dollars and sooner or later the same thing will happen with 10% of those people having the 5 dollar bills from the others. It's got absolutely nothing to do with rights and opportunites. It's all about willingness to manipulate and steal. Serves the poor person right for being just, right?

[metalonly456]

@magicyte i'm not saying it's possible for everyone to live without poverty. i'm saying that the interviewee is in his own world. black people do have opportunities to become successful. this guy basically wants everyone to share their earnings. listen to what he said. tell me it's not similar to communism.

[magicyte]

@metalonly456 Yeah it was slightly communist. Then again I never really saw what was wrong with communism to begin. Too many misconceptions about it. Communism would work quite perfect if used rationally. It really is the only pure form of government. No one can have a beggier tv than another. No one can travel to space more so than another...as long as currency was removed from it, it would most likely be the first step to a true utopia.

[metalonly456]

@magicyte no. communism is the worst form of government ever made. how would you feel if you worked harder than someone else and you both get the same reward? it's not a fair idea. and to add on to it, how would you feel if government took over your lives and the people have no voice? democracy and capitalism are what it's all about.

[magicyte]

@metalonly456 You don't understand what communism in it's pure form is supposed to be about. It's about the amount of time spent working-not the type of work. It's about aptitude. If one person has the aptitude to build computers and one has the ability to dig tunnels, that's what they must do. It is completely fair if done properly, because both families would have the same luxuries and neccessities. That's utopia. Not economic slavery. Utopian society is essentially communism without currency

[magicyte]

@metalonly456 You've been blinded by media. You know it is possible to have a democratic communist government. Where the people actually have the power. The people rule each other...from sideways and not above. Can you imagine a perfect democratic communist government where nobody has to work more than 2-3 hours a day? That's what I'm talking about. Everyone having food, vehicles, entertainment, medical, infrastructure etc.

[magicyte]

@metalonly456 Research utopian society if you don't know. Also Marxism. Almost every intelligent person who studies both are unable to deny it is inevitable for us to conform to Marxism(communism). It's just a matter of time...and a matter of which world war will be the precursor.

[Atamv]

@magicyte Communism is good in theory, but people are to lazy and generally selfish for it to succeed.

[mashugac]

I suggest Rattlehead for World-Leader

[GearsOfWar01000]

FUCK YEAH! DAVE MUSTAINE FOR PRESIDENT!

[nt122989]

"these guys need to take drum lessons" LMAO

[Cra5hnatural]

What? i wish i was there...i would do the interview....Politics? WTF? u should better tell me about megadeth and staff F*** them...

[jonesey5168]

too bad Dave bought in to the two-card monty that our system was and still is...still love Megadeth though

[VegitoVai90]

@jonesey5168

Mustaine is completely different now. Unfortunately he's been hanging out with the likes of Alex Jones...but, honestly, that's one step up from being a Democrat lol

[MrComeclarity]

I feel really stupid right now, I didn't even realize that Dave was the interviewer until like the video was half way over. I was like, "where the fuck is Dave"?? lmao

[666acha666]

Ey Dave take off your pants!!! :*

[666acha666]

naughty reporter ;*

[Chester1004]

Mustaine with beard, moustaches and glasses = badass.

[MagicManICT]

Hey, Matt, you realize that Dave votes Democrat, right?

[LongLiveThrash]

@MagicManICT Dave is neither democrat or republican.

[410missmonkeyful]

what do you mean dave couldn't be the president

of the united states of america

tell me something

it's still WE the PEOPLE, right?

[MagicManICT]

@410missmonkeyful No, it's WE the ELECTORAL COLLEGE

[stevestoner13]

@410missmonkeyful

Yeah it's We the People.

Metallica said so in the song 'Some Kind Of Monster'

Dave Mustaine . . . Some Kind of Monster . . . politics . . . . it all connects in the end right?

[valdivia562]

@410missmonkeyful wow 52 thumbs up for quoting dave

[s0ulfire]

@valdivia562 lol

[SpitzNamen597]

The lady at 1:11 is a complete, liberal bitch. non of what she said makes any fucking sense.

[Megadethmegadethfan1]

2:02 shut the fuck us you racist you being racist by saying other people racist when there not.No one is holding you back but yourself.Just stop smoking dat grass and crack all day and stop listing to dumb ass rap.Obama worked hard for what he got.Sure the is racism but now a days people would not kill you just because your black they may talk shit behind you back but if a black person was hanging off a cliff im sure they would lift you up and save you.I am black but this is the truth.

[iScreamAimandFire]

I didnt recognize him in the beginning.

[1994fishcake]

At the start he looks like a ginger John Lennon.

[zardozkid]

There's NO party to vote for Dave. Maybe, you've come to know that Know!?

[ymistillavirgin]

rockbottom dave, still love him

[Metalllians86]

dave rules!!!!

[LeaderOfMetal93]

It's funny how the person that wrote "Dave for Pres" with a period got more thumbs up than the person that wrote it with an exclamation.

[Tacom4ster]

He wore those glasses just to look smart doesnt he

[MasterOfboness]

Why did he wana be a reporter? lol funny though.

[Betty5150]

Conservative this, liberal that. Politics is A. Not so much boring as it is fucking annoying. B. Fueled by emotion C. Is full with idiots who think they know what they're talking about. Our "major" political parties are identical. Only difference is ones red, and ones blue. Oh, and they both have different rhetoric, but always give us the same results. Oh and political ideologues like conservative and liberal, have the exact opposite meaning the mainstream teaches.

[lucretia101]

Great clip..he did a really good job with the choose or lose stuff back in the day..too bad he feels kinda differently about it now considering as he said the whole democratic thing took awhile to "wash off"...but he did a lot of good for motivating voters....on a lighter note..dig those 90's hair don'ts! eegad!

[roxysux]

i remember this

[zeuss008p]

if Dave went for president then James Hetfield would run against him

[HarvesterOfSorrow95]

id vote for dave

[mikem376]

Fuck you.

Actually MetallicA does have political genius too but youre just trying to start a fight.

[Shelter1284]

@mikem376 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHA

[mikem376]

What?

[supersaiyan9goku]

If Dave Musaine ran for president...I'd vote for him. Actually, I'd assassinate all his competition.

[RideTheLightning101]

Dave Mustaine is a conservative though...

[franksavageryan]

@RideTheLightning101 He's conservative now that he's sober and a father. That kind of happens when you suddenly have something to lose.

[Rgonzalez1341]

@franksavageryan thats for sure it does change everything

[That70sShowRocker73]

lol Dave Mustaine is a broadcaster!

[Metayerthraxadeth]

did that old man say "get a life stupid boy"?

[ravynkat]

1:24 is hilarious :P

and i like how he pierces through oliver stone.... i wonder if dave still wants a woman in the white house ;)

[xmetalxx]

hahaha DAVE FOR PRESIDENT!

[waasa73]

@xmetalxx ...and Blackie Lawless for vice LOL

[NUCLEARINFECTOR]

WTF 0:45 "Queer for life" ????

[rushflybynight1995]

its obvious hes gay

[buoghuoj]

Dave Mustaine for president \m/

[TheCandygod]

@ 1:40 ITS FEMALE BUCKETHEAD!!

[redheadhistorian]

the timing was perfect at the end when he finished his speech and the crowd cheered :)

[Lawfulness]

Haha it was a great moment!!

[13Voorheespt2]

before "born-again" David

[SamuelLJacksonsFish]

That guy at 3:30 kinda looks like Danny Carey.

[hitman036]

I know he performs in front of audience's worldwide, but his public mic skills in this context are really good.

[irondeth2]

what are you doing there megadave get your guitar and show that people who you ARE!!!!!

[makeupisamber]

imagine if dave was in news nd never was a mucician i would cry

[elfboy443]

haha look at dave acting like he has a fucking clue what he's talking about :)

[VMVMEGADETHVMV]

He does know what he's talking about.

[trencher7]

From his lyrics I get the sense that Mustaine leans conservative. United Abominations is a great album with some great lyrics.

[dave783]

I doubt that. I think he hates all politicians.

[stoicsquirrel]

Being conservative or liberal is a social view and, although it has a lot to do with politics in general, it has nothing to do with politicians. So a person can hate politicians and still be a conservative or liberal.

[gothicgarden2006]

hes wearing glasses to look geeky

[randomguy1052]

What the fuck did that guy at 0:55 say

[noraMaiden]

he looks so hot!

[NuclearConvoy]

Anybody at all feel that Mustaine kind of resembles and sounds like a cooler, more manly David Spade in this one video?

[FreakeThings]

Dave is so kool.

[MParseface38]

dave looks so wicked with a beard... i think he should grow himself one again!

[Acetopy2]

Dave for president! 2:18 now theres a black president, u win. good on ya. I wish he had his own show, that would be awesome.

[dave783]

From when I saw Megadeth live.

Dave: You know what would happen if I was president?

Crowd: HOLY WAR!

[balimoon06]

Well, Dave...I bet they got less dope than you!

[everything543210]

0:55

"Get a haircut! Hippy-boy"

"See, he knows his rights.

Obviously he knows where to get beer too..."

God damn that was funny. xD

[MegADethBolt2]

0:55

My stepsister and mom are the same as that guy. My Hair isn't even as long as daves hair.

[mcfarland2]

"those guys need drum lessons"

just shows that no matter where you are or what's going on, if you're a musician, you're always paying attention to what people are playing

[mtuckster]

lol that long haired guy was thinkin "holy shit its Dave Mustaine!! and he's interviewing me, kickass!!

[PhoenixKakashi19]

Mustaine/Broderick '12

[Harrydeth]

Thank you.
