I met Dave Mustaine!! - Gigantour - Oakland Arena

[Adennos]

dude seriously did you recorded this with a bottle of beer?

[chocolatedead]

shit, i feel bad for you :(,but you know maybe he was in a bad day,

[TraptOfficialFanChnl]

You met a god.

[eeyyaakk]

I actually sent an email to Dave through "The Scorpion" in their website, asking if Dave really treats his fans this way. Even gave a link to this video. I was bored, sorry.

[eeyyaakk]

Hi there! Thanks for posting this. I have two questions for you and I hope you'll answer them sincerely. ONE: Do you hate Dave now? TWO: Do you still listen to Megadeth? ......................eagerly waiting for your response. Peace brother!

[TheM3TaLMeTaLLiCa]

is this what a meet and greet gets you ?? ....if so i will never pay 250 dollars to have a 2 second experiance and not even talk to them

[St3ph2u]

@TheM3TaLMeTaLLiCa

Yes, I paid extra, stood in line forever and missed a bunch of awesome bands to have... that. Like I said it broke my heart. He really let me down.

[SvddenDeth]

@St3ph2u wait what let you down?

[badonmiverick]

megadeth = god ...

metallica = master of all faggots ,,,

[calvi07]

LUCKY BASTARD!

[EMOHOLACAWST]

OP is emo.

err...i mean "St3ph2u" is an emo.

..fuck..

[St3ph2u]

@EMOHOLACAWST

I'm freakin old dude. I've been listening to Dave for EONS, I'm not Emo. I'm a realist who expected to be treated with respect and got the overly pompous, spoiled, celebrity reaction. I have been a diehard fan for YEARS and to have my "autographed" cd thrown at me with a "yeah, whatever" after paying extra, missing a concert and driving for hours to see my idol... this was a slap in the fucking face.He makes money from us the fans and treating 1 of us this way treats all this way

[TheGuitarkid15]

@St3ph2u Dude, there are a quite a few who have had this happen. I was talking to this guitar store worker who said he went to see Megadeth and got Dave's Auto. But this guy in front of him had brought his first megadeth album that he bought, the one that got him started on playing guitar, and asked him to sign it, and Dave got all pissy at him stating and I quote "Look man, I'm only signing one thing today" which would be the band pictures that had been mass produced for that specific occassion

[ctownsdelaval]

i meet him at an instore in 90' he was a grump. still great music tho

[worldofurin]

I ordered a custom shirt which says slow 'em all instead of kill 'em all. Im gonna wear it. MEGADETH RULES

[ThuXthetrooper]

Megadeth says :

METALLI-WHO? xd

[gnrcr]

Totally right. 5 years ago i couldve worn my old-school "Ride the Lightning" shirt and kids would think like "oh he is a weird kid". Now i wear that shirt and they say, "its a metallica album, it rocks" due to guitar fags. Now my shirts say fuckin' RUST IN PEACE!!!!

[Epicbad]

trust me, i like meagdeth 1,000,000 times more then metallica, but to set the record straight, there are megadeth songs all over guitar hero aswell as metallica...

[UKLegendUK]

@Epicbad Please explain? There are on rockband, but in all honesty, that's mainly because they swarm THAT market with EVERYTHING, it's only really the new one that'll have any, I mean, that'll make it 5 tracks across guitar hero, and Metallica had one entitled after them!!

[AirHendrix91]

Awesome. That guy looks so down to earth, man.

[varoujanx666]

megadeth is better than metallishit

[krisgord9090]

metallica has a game which made them more famous

[mbm13213]

If I ever met Dave I think I'd shit all over myself.

[Forcepoint]

I don't think dave would really appreciate that... :P

[mbm13213]

It certainly wouldn't be a good first impression.

]v[ E G A D E T ]-[

[ozzymustaine]

I met him and he's just a regular person with that the mystique of Rock star surrounding him...he's very cool..:)

[CluelessNameless]

why the fuck do people talk about metallica in a video of someone that MET DAVE MUSTAINE man, fucking lucky i say.

[rebelkid87]

if you judge how good a band is by album sales then you are a not a real fan of metal metallica is a sellout ok megadeth is not yeah if you ask a 11 year what is the best metal band they will say metallica do you get my point.

[loligun1]

@rebelkid87 O RLY? megadeth is just as a sell out as metallica.

Risk? Cryptic writings?

[iluvnirvana13]

@loligun1 Hey! Cryptic Writings was a good Album! Risk, well, I call it the St. Anger of Megadeth.

[leftythrasher]

@loligun1 I wouldn't say it was "sell out." I get so tired of people using that overrated fucking word. They just wanted to try something different. Sometimes it's a hit; others, it's a miss. And. by the way, I met Dave, and he was really friendly.

[XBillinatorX]

if people didnt like death magnetic they would not have bought it ( but a mil in 6 weeks is more than proof)

[80smetalchild]

SICK

[SmokinGuitar]

I bet they were anxious to get the fuck outta' there. I've been to one of those free meet n' greet sessions. Mustaine and the Drovers were complete fucking idiots, and made no effort to hide the fact that they really didn't want to be there. Ignorant and bloody rude. The only cool one out of the bunch was James MacDonough. He was great, really friendly, all smiles. I was surprised at the Drovers, since I've played with a few of their ex-Eidolon bandmates in '04.

[PSPSlimer]

I wish i was there

[chuweybarr]

y does every 1 talk bout metallica comon they suck and not even cool

[barryburton21]

anything doesnt beat st anger st anger(chuck norris) beats everything lol they made up for that threw death magnetic so there u go cock touchers

[DarkXtrike]

guess what metallica fans atleast megadeth didn't collab with ja rule

[Dominashroom]

Hell even Risk > St Anger

[SplinterCell45]

i wish dave was my uncle or something

[PSPSlimer]

saME HERE

[copburner]

is that the $250 vip ticket

[zenithx12]

no it was free. I wish i would have gone backstage and met him :( But we had to get going

[BibleBasher1108]

then i said "it would make my life to get a hug." he goes "you promise" i then said yea and he opened his arms and went "come here big tough guy." and there were several seconds of meaningless chatter and then he moved onto a crippled kid, with whom he prayed in their ear for about 30seconds, and left them crying, tears of joy though haha

Dave was nice but very forceful/mean with people out of line...we did wait up until 3a.m. in the rain after the show to meet them though...about 30 people

[BibleBasher1108]

Wow, I am really sorry for your encounter...

Dave is without a doubt one of my biggest idols, when i met him, it was a much different story though...I met him told him he was the reason i play guitar and my biggest idol, he said "thank you buddy, i love you." and he then signed my ticket and then my vest...moved on to my sister and asked for her necklace in trade for a hug,

[mitchellgrantsmith]

Mustaine a dick? Hardly. I met him this exact same show (Oakland Arena Gigantour) and not only did he give me an autograph, he gave me a *hug*. I said he looked tired and I hoped he got some rest, and he said that was really sweet, shook my hand, and hugged me. Despite looking like he was about to pass out.

So you'll have to excuse me if I really don't buy stories about him being a dick. Unless, you know, you asked for it and are conveniently leaving that out...

[TR3NDK1LL]

Cool you met Dave. Sucks you live in Oakland.

[KissMeImPunk]

...I wonder what would happen if I wore a Metallica shirt at a 'deth concert..

[abysslord16]

u would get beaten do DETH!!!

[rebbini]

i went to a meet n' greet, they wont let you in with metallica stuff- they specified before the even

[KissMeImPunk]

Where did you hear such?

[MontyPCalebsworth]

When I was looking over the ticket sale page on the internet before I went to my gigantour branch, I saw a link to the page for the VIP pass, and the no metallica paraphernalia rule is on the page somewhere or other

[KissMeImPunk]

Dave must still be pissed that he got kicked out of Metallica. Man, what a fucking pussy. It's been 20 years, he needs to fucking let go.

[anubistehman56]

I think its more or less they just don't want fights to brake out between megadeth fans and metallica fans. Or maybe Dave doesn't want douchebags coming up to him in Metallica shirts saying "THEY'RE SO MUCH BETTER THAN YOU" not cause he'll cry, but he's just fuckin' sick of it.

Dave has said multiple times that after some kind of monster he was done with the Metallica feud, its beneath him now.

Plus, United Abominations kicks the shit out of Saint Anger. Fuckin' Megadeth pwnsauce

[KissMeImPunk]

Dave's still been bitching about how he got kicked out, and uses petty insults. Plus, Death Magnetic will kick the shit out of UA. I've listened to the song UA, and I have to say...it was unimpressive. It's like Blackmail the Universe, but making it worse.

[anubistehman56]

Really? Last interview I read he joked about threatening to brake his son's arm for playing a Metallica riff (joking, mind you), and then said "But seriously, I am done with Metallica, that stuff is behind me". It's not like before where he then goes and continues to wine, he's done, the fans aren't.

And the song UA was not great, but I'm referring to the CD. Sleepwalker, Washington is next, Call to arms we're all good songs.

From what I've heard so far, DM doesn't sound that great at all.

[coolfreez1771]

ok dude i like both bands but u need to learn that megadeth will always be better than metllica death magnetic was ok but UA owned it in the ass

[megaluisdeth]

Yea Finally someone that understands for true metal and now wah bullshit

[XBillinatorX]

ok/...... thats why metallica sold 1 mil copies in the first 6 weeks of death magnetics release i bet U sold like .25 of that

[jackfenderrox]

thats 250,000, a lot of copies still,

[GolecWTF]

@coolfreez1771 Both UA and Endgame owned it :)

[stenback31289]

anything beats st anger haha

[Lunatic29hd]

Thats how we identify the homo's

[MetallicAuptuned]

What would happen if someone wore a MOTLEY CRUE shirt at a 'deth concert? :o

[KissMeImPunk]

Then I'd hope that moron knows that Motley Crue doesn't even make albums anymore, and I also hope that he gets his brains beat in.

[edjar10]

com on dudes

i hates this shit about

"i hate glam because this guys gate it or what no"

i like al metal

from glam metal to death metal

but not fake metal

[Xiderpunk]

In the early 90's I got to meet many band idols of mine. Mainly due to being friends with a girl who worked for a promotions company so we used to attend press gigs. Half the time the guys we met were disinterested and would make comments we didn't expect. There were a few people who were super cool though, Sepultura treated us like old mates. Best of all was Iron Maiden, they were really cool. I met most of Megadeth but always managed to miss meeting Dave Mustaine.

[underthebusman]

i think it just depends on how he responds to certain things because when i met him in providence he let me run across the street and grab my guitar out of my truck and run back and he signed it with the rest of the band, the coolest was when i got to meet him a second time with the members of hasbro the same night lol

[firedance44]

dave mustaine is my jesus

[AlcoholicA352]

I MET DAVE TOO

got pics megadeth also!

[Cdahlin]

Pics of Megadeth = Megapics / Picdeath ;)

[swimfan3210]

i really want a fucking hi-five from him

[jav31ier]

lucky bastard

[St3ph2u]

You know, after paying a pretty good amount of money, driving for a very long time and waiting in line to see a shitload of bands, then ending up missing most of them to get an autograph and having my idol say "yeah whatever" to me really kinda sucked. So "lucky" I wasn't. I just hope others don't have the same experience. I really loved that man and his talent, but yeah he pretty much broke my heart.

[paranoidScorpion]

sorry to know that dude:( Wish You meet him again and won't be disappointed then. I've never met him. sometimes I don't want to meet him, cuz I don't want to be disappointed..lol! Staying away makes things safe:P

[LWStupidus]

Aww, that must suck =(. I like Dave a lot too and respect him very much, but he is a busy man and has tons of fans who probably like him as much as you, gotta remember that part :p. At least you met the guy though, thanks for posting this.

[ajvarofdoom]

Dude everybod yknows that Mustaine is dick XD

NO matter how big fan you are he doesn't give a fuck

My friend asked him for autograph and Mustaine rejected XD

[MetalMadChick]

@St3ph2u That's really disappointing to hear...this guy is my hero. When people talk about how much of a douch he is I back him up and say that was the past, he was fucked up then, but I guess he still is a primadonna :/ very sad

[paranoidScorpion]

you guys are lucky! congratulations:-)

[valetony77]

I met Dave in 92. I followed a french tv team after a show ... after the black curtain I said hello to Nick (very cool he didn't see I had no pass around my neck!) then Dave saw it, he said "good evening" n told a security guy to pick me off, n to call his wife ... but he didn't be agresive or violent at all. He was right, a crazy guy in the same situation could have been dangerous. A great moment for me ... but no pen for autograph, no camera ... all is in my head.

[kurbstomper]

i was at that show. i got there as opeth was playin. me and my buddies were yellin at those fags the whole time to play some real fuckin metal. lamb of god and megadeth were sick as fuck tho

[PedrofromHell]

Kurbstomper, you mean you were yelling at Opeth to play some real metal?! Are you crazy?!

[MetalManiac72]

I hope you die.

[diamba1]

how long did you que for?? I MET DAVE IN GLASGOW AND HE WAS COOL AS FUCK

[classicROCKguy123]

how was he a dick to u

[iluvsidcrosby]

yeah. not a good idea to bring a video camera. i wanna meet dave. i don't care how rude he is. he totally rocks!!

[wouldntyoulike2know]

I agree, I just want to tell him that he is a guitar god, even though he prolly hears it all the time.

[fujiyoshi]

good thing he didn't kick your ass for bringing a video camera

lol

[Trolloch]

That damn line in oakland was TOO FUCKING LONG! It made me miss Opeth! Damn i was mad! At least I got an Autograph though! lol!

[St3ph2u]

Yeah I missed Overkill and Opeth... but it was freakin worth it. Well... until he was a dick to me.

[Trolloch]

Yeah dave is kinda an asshole, slayer and like a ton of other bands don't like him. Oh well at least he makes good music lol! I got to see Overkill though, that was fuckin cool. Personally i think lamb of god had the best performance out of everyone though!

[MillionWayz2Die]

Dont expext him to be Cinderella!

[KillerQueen247]

how exactly was he a dick to you?

[St3ph2u]

He was just rude. I said thanks for the autograph (which we pretty much paid for by having to buy certain items to even get in the line) and he was like "whatever" and tossed my CD aside. I didn't expect him to be super nice but being rude when I thanked him kind of ruined the experience for me.

[ishmaiden]

Did you happen to see the "harcore" dude that was crygng in fornt of Dave? I saw the band get silent, then Dave got up, with an akward look on his face, and hugged him. It may have been a little after you .

[ishmaiden]

I already knew that DAve isn't alwasy a people person, so when a fan exclaimed I GOT YOU, DAv looked at him and had his trademark ARE YOU RETARDED SNIRK. I just thought, please don't piss him off. Its bad enough I got held up on the bridge and missed Arch Enemy.

[ishmaiden]

Smirk*

[brendan12303]

ouch thats harsh, i thought dave would'nt do that...guess i was wrong, but still kool u got to meet dave

[DarrenToledano]

Yep that's Dave. I had a similar experience with him. He is/was a great songwriter but as a person he just flat out sucks. All this "I love you guys" bullshit he says to the fans is just lip service. He only cares about your money. I wouldn't pay 5 cents for his autograph now.

[flibo]

He has to say that, otherwise he wouldn't be famous. Do you know any band thats singer screams "I HATE YOU GUYS!"?

[firedance44]

ummm gwar?

[St3ph2u]

GWAR pretty much rules... Beefcake signed my shirt last time I saw them. He was signing before the show and I stood in line, then found out you have to place whateer you wanted signed on the table. Had to take my top off. I was standing there in my bra and he smiled. It was awesome. =)

[firedance44]

lol nice :)

[metallicaguy14]

DAMN RITE! I MET THEM IN TORONTO

[takmurat]

you lucky bastard! I'd love to meet him!

[Amb2619]

yea sick. i met them too. pretty fukkin sick

[ElectricHobo]

I was going to meet them too but by the time we got downstairs the line was really long and we didn't want to miss LOG. >_< Oh well, it was an awesome show.
