Megadeth's Mustaine Unleashes The Fury On Metallica

Photo of Metallica

Band Photo: Metallica (?)

Music Choice Studio Sessions caught up with Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine back in November, where he discussed his role in the Metallica documentary 'Some Kind Of Monster'. Mustaine also joked about Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich's comments in Blabbermouth that he was sexually attracted to him, prompting Mustaine to say Lars was "really sick". Mustaine then discussed the Megadeth farewell tour and took a parting shot at KISS. Listen to the interview here.

FYI - I think a lot of this has been covered in other articles, but this one has audio and Mustaine's comments always make for great entertainment...

Somehow I cant help but feel a little sorry for both Metallica and Mustaine. Mustaine for always having to play second fiddle to Metallica and Metallica for making Load, Reload, St Anger...thats a bad run of luck for both camps.

It is pretty sad, u'd figure that the most important thing would be the music. Don't know, I never get bored playing the guitar, maybe frustrated but bored nah. U know there was time when making music was the focus, ripping the fans to shreds with good music. Ah instead of lashing out on each other...refocus and kicka$$. I think MEGADETH came out with a killer cd. Well thats me. $$$ is this whats it about???? money is nice but KILL EM ALL, MASTER OF PUPPETS-PEACE SELLS, RUST IN PEACE... ahh, pure heaven!!!!

Oh i'm not excluding the one's in between... u get my point.

you know, after Dime died, Mustaine apologized to a bunch of people he dissed, I don't
know if he apologized to Metaillca or not, but he's been apologizing to alot of people
lately. But why does he need to pick fights? Mustaine has enough creds in the
community to be an ok guy without being a jerk. Well, maybe he thinks that everyone
thinks their new album sucks and he has to act "tough" to look cool with it or
something.

he's being immature. maybe a little sad that he's not in metallica.
grow up mustaine. there are other things to concentrate on than
insulting your former bandmates with the harsh words you are
hiding behind. my sister is right, he doesn't have to be a jerk to
get publicity.

I must say, I love the title on this story.... 'Unleashes the FURY!!!" You can just imagine Mustaine and Ulrich squaring up to each other Kung Fu style... Badly dubbed speech and all.

That would be a sight 2 C, I think Mustaine has an edge though... oh wait due to the attraction, we might not C a fight... mmm. Yep, theres no need to go around picking fights, like I said before- let the music do the talking! Crap they should just go on with their lives and leave that sh*t behind. These are real good musicians man, I feel theres no need for this nonsense, well..." May the FURY be UNLEASHED!!!" Yeah, i'm going to go listen to some UNLEASHED.

whats wrong with the 80s. In all fairness, thats when metal was at its peak......... anyways all this sh** between james and dave and whoever else is in the mixture should be left between them and not the fans . It makes good reading and sh** but dammit that sh** should be between titney queers and fistinya aguileira, James and Dave are two great musicians in their own right so come on guys, bury the f***in hatchet and form a better group than metallica and megadeth put together... maiden brought back adrian smith and the three guitar sound is ace, so how about this for a line up:
LARS: DRUMS
JAMES: GUITAR , VOCALS
DAVE: GUITAR , VOCALS
KIRK: KEYBOARDS AND JUICE HARP
THE KID ELLEFSON : BASS
ROBERT: HARMONICA AND VARIOUS OTHER NOISES
AND A FEW 20 YR. OLD MEXICAN VIRGINS AS BACKING VOCALISTS

see the "....."'s that means that line was connected.

it would be "Cause I'm sure Hetfield mastered that back in the 80's."

OMG that man (mustaine) is truly pathetic. I Saw some clips and heard some songs from megadeth but it's allready an insult to compare that crap to metallica, ok to st. anger would be an option, but as for the first 5 albums, go suck your own balls dave, ohw wait you probably don't have any cause if you had 'm, you wouldn't be acting like A b****..... also, he f***in' can't sing, It sounds like hetfield with a beer can IN his thraot instead of crushed to his head........ god let someone just shut him up.
Instead of waisting his time, givin' such rediculous interviews, why doesn't he go make a real peace of music so that he would have atleast proof that he's better then kirk...(and BTW alexi is a hundred times better then the both of 'm).

English lessons? Well, you certainly get it all here. You must forgive my repeated overuse of '....' after a sentence. It usually means I'm joking, being sarcastic or trailing off in an insane manner....

Creeping Death, he may have said that, but we know his feelings for Lars run too deep for him to ever forget.

I would love to see Hetfield kick Mustaine's ass. James is a much bigger man than Dave physically and mentally and I think getting his a$$ kicked would teach Dave Mustaine a lesson. Hey Dave, maybe this time, when you die, you won't come back to life!!! Oh and as far as Megadeth fans saying sh** like, "WeLl, MeTaLliCa Doesn'T GiVe DaVe MustainE any CreDit for ThE AeWSome MetalLiCA S0ngs!!!", you are f***ING IDIOTS. Have you ever looked on the inside sleeve of either Kill'em All or Ride the Lightning? IT f***ING SAYS RIGHT THERE UNDER THE TITLE OF THE SONG (Hetfield, Ulrich, Mustaine) or some other order depending on the song. IDIOTS!!!! What other f***ing credit do you need?!?!?

okay, first of all most of you dont know what you're talking about!!, metallica kicked mustaine out because of a drinking problem.......but how much could u drink to get kicked out of alchoholica? and the way they kicked him out was rough too, he has every right to be mad at them, i love metallica too tho so dont think im bashing them, and his reason for being an a$$hole......its just the way he is, deal with it, he says what he wants and he doesnt have to hide behind a computer like you guys. so just say what you will but there's no need to bash either metallica or mustaine

my last comment......whats the problem with load,re-load and st.anger!? theyre great albums, you would have to be a musician to like them tho i think. metallica hasn't put out a bad album yet. and like that other dude said, just leave that buisness between metallica and mustaine, theres no point for us to fight someone elses fight.

I think they need to just stop. Mustaine has his credit in the liner notes of Metallica albums, he has admitted he got kicked out and deserved it due to his drinking and drug probs. Yes the new Megadeth album is pretty good and the latest Metallica sucks, but Megadeth has failed us before with Risk. I think Mustaine needs to lay off the attacks, Metallica is mum about it now so why should Mustaine agitize them? What's done is done, chill and make some great albums!

lets get back to the ala-kung fu fight between mustaine and hetfield... hetfield would do a rolling beer drum technique to crush mustaine but mustaine would use his sleepwalking-while-drunk technique to easily avoid the attack... the fight would end in a draw because both of them became drunk after using their drink-the-barrel-of-beer technique...

end of my sh*tness...
