6mins in and not a single metallica question, thank you. This is going to be a great interview.

THE PERSON DOING THE INTERVIEW WAS GREAT. Dave seemed interested in every question.

I read Dave biography book years ago. He could end up like any other dead rock stars. But, here he is now. Sober, happy, and still plays fast and heavy songs. That's just miracle.

Pure wisdom from the man himself: "It's the people that get in your way and tell you that you can't do things that you need to get out of your life"

this is proof that he is a great and cool guy if the questions aren't stupid and run of the mill. great interview, one for the archives. cheers.

I reckon Mustaine is the most articulate guy in Metal and he gets better and better with age.

I like how honest Dave is

I respect the hell out of Dave, just a real dude.

The only interview of dave that I've actually wanted to sit through. Great questions dude! 🤘

Really appreciate the man Dave has become. He's thoughtful, articulate, and genuine. I'm not a huge metal fan but I'm a Dave Mustaine fan.

The most important guitarist in metal history, imo.

Saw Megadeth for the first time live on Sunday at Bloodstock and got to meet Dave Mustaine the night before the show!!! Dave, James Lomenzo and their road crew were at the same bar as me purely by coincidence. Also very briefly caught Dirk as well. I told Dave I was a massive fan and he said “namaste” meaning he was happy to meet me but too tired to talk. He later came to the table I was sat at, and while he didn’t say anything, he very kindly gave me 2 of his plectrums and signed me an autograph. I wished Dave the best look for Bloodstock the following day before he went and he thanked me. I’ve covered Dave’s amazing work on guitar and vocals for years on end. Thank you Dave for making my life truly awesome, meeting you this weekend was an absolute privilege I’ll never forget!!! “BUT NOW I’M SAFE IN THE EYE OF THE TORNADOOO!!!”🌪️ 😉🤟

This man is a legend.. No band can fit megadeath.. No words can explain how must I'm a fan of his...

So many lyrics from megadeaths first 4 albums describes a lot of stuff happening today.

I don't care what crybabies and complainers say he is the voice of megadeth no one can replace him as a singer. It all goes to together if you don't realize it. Thank goodness for once no metallica questions

It’s so sweet hearing Dave talk about his mom and how she was proud of him.

Very good and Dave seemed to have a lot more to say. We need part two

Dave's voice is freaking insane his voice got me hooked big time ‼️‼️‼️

Great interview. Dave is such a legend, I can listen to him talk forever and ever. Funny sense of humor and so many great lessons you can learn from him.

He is such a cool guy

Dave, to me your voice is great. When your band is on , that voice could not have been more appropriate by any singer alive. Im from Pocatello and i know you were there before killing is my business. Rock on godfather of metal.

Youthanasia is a masterpiece in my opinion. Incredible album from start to finish. Surprised Dave is a bit unhappy about it.

Love that dude. Attitude and all.

We love you Dave

In a decent mood! Bonus!

This man is a inspiration . Tank you Dave for your music.

Dave matured like fine wine. As much as I loved the tongue-in-cheek say-it-to-my-face young Dave (which I could relate to when I was also young), it feels as we are getting old together through the years, we kinda stay in the same page... :)

Definitely not the best singer but by far the best singer for Megadeth. Fits the music perfectly.

Megadeth fan since 85.... Amazing how fast time has passed....

Great interview, love Dave and his creation, Megadeth. God bless him, his family and band.

Great interview with great questions. I hate it when people ask the same thing over and over. Very refreshing!

Great interview of not asking about his old band and keeping it more about dave 👍

Mission to MARS has one of the best riffs he ever wrote, it's a killer song the second part is amazing.

you asked some brilliant questions and Dave clearly appreciated that. Great job!

First Danny Worsnop and now Dave Mustaine, my two favorites bands, Asking Alexandria and Megadeth.

Thanks for this. One of his best interviews for a long long time, imo. He gives great interviews most of the time, but, this particular one was really interesting & entertaining. Thank you so much!

Thank you lovely Dave! God bless you!

Thank you Metallica, for ousting Dave from the band. What a great outcome !!!! Megadeth will always be the best Thrash metal band of all time ! This was one of the best Dave Mustaine interviews I've seen in decades !

Excellent questions and great interview!! Hail, the true king of thrash metal!!

This was an EXCELLENT interview. Please do a part 2!!

This was an awesome interview, very personal, I've never heard him talk about his mom this much. And what he says at the very end is pure wisdom

This is a great great interview. Very good questions and of course Dave is a very very intelligent guy. 🤘

Great Interview. Great questions. Dave is wonderful human. ❤️ I enjoyed the whole Interview. Thank you. Last question is excellent. Last answer is excellent.

"How to Serve Man" was a Twilight Zone episode!!! Love it!!!

Rough childhood, broken household, poor... Statistically he wasn't suppose to be successful. What makes him inspiring is his grit to keep picking himself up. Self taught on guitar, joined a band that spearheaded the Thrash genre, kicked out then created one of thrash greatest bands. Band breakups, drug use, party lifestyle homeless while making a record and still made awesome music. Poster child of persistence pays off.

This was enjoyable I think Dave gets harshly judged TBH & when an interview is conducted professionally he's always interesting. Well done you could tell he respected you for it.

Dave has definitely outshined his old band Metallica, he's an inspiration to us all, thanks Dave for being real.

King Dave 🤘🤘... great interview .

I'm glad Metallica fired him, if they hadn't of fired him we may have never had the priveledge of the whole Megadeth experience !!! Dave, you are the man my friend, thanks for the many masterpiece's we've enjoyed over the year's !!! Stay healthy and keep rock'in bro, we luv ya man !!!!! 💪👊💥👍😎

one of the unique vocals.

Daves honesty pisses people off. Thats why i like him. Pluss he kinda shredds on the gee tar

Brilliant questions! Awesome interview, Dave IS metal 🤘 🤘

Dave you did it and successfully have a master band thats epic. You deserve everything you have. And we listen because of it.

Pure class and true metalhead.. Dave 🙌❤️

Awesome interview, one of the if not the best I've ever seen with Dave 👍

Dave we love you, I saw your band open for Sabbath Heaven and Hell, commerica PHX aZ, class act, stunning!

Amazing interview! Well done!!

9:20 that was the most inspirational thing ive heard in a long time... and from a guy i look at as a guitar god and metal icon.... i wish i heard that 4 years ago im 26 now which is young for some old to others but fuck it i got 1 life im gonna try my ass off to do what i wanna do

Thank you 💖 great interview Dave 💘🩷💘

Great interview one of the best Mustaine interviews I've heard in recent years. Wish it was longer.

Excellent interview! Wise words from Mr M. Total legend 🤘

awesome gig at kuopiorock 🎉

Great interview man

Genius

Great interview, thanks!

Thank you Arto and Chaoszine for doing these! Great stuff! ❤

I would love to have coffee with Dave Mustaine ☕🤘☕

Wow! I can't help but think, what would I say to Dave if I ever got the chance to meet him. I can only think, thank you. For the inspiration, for the music, for begin real, for making me practice guitar more. But, in actual fact I would more than lightly just freeze and say something so dumb. Thank you Dave and also thanks for such a great and interview. Peace, love and keep on rocking

Mission to Mars, is fantastic by the way ♥️♥️♥️♥️

I would say hands down one of the best interviews with Dave Mustaine i have ever seen. Great questions!.. Btw Did Dave mention anything about Alexi Laiho?

I seen my favorite band 6 times and the last 2 were the best ones at Caesar's Windsor. Megadeth is the best live band ive ever seen and like i said i seen them 6 times. This guy is the best guitarist and lyricists ive ever seen on stage and ive seen a lot of bands live in my life!! And i will go and see them again and again every time they come back to Caesar's Windsor as long as im alive!

Race cars, fuck or fight is great 😂

Kiitos taas! Hyvä haastis.

Great interview

Great interview. Dave has matured so much over the years and has become such a well balanced amazing person. Hope to meet him someday

Great interview! Greetings from the Netherlands

Dave is awesome! Glad I saw Megadeth in UT. 1986 with Overkill.

founder/co-founder of 1/2 of the big 4 metal bands in the world. Pretty impressive!

Can't wait to see Megadeth Sept. 17th.

That was an amazing interview! 🔥

Awesome! :)

Blessings to all, props to Dave.

Holy shit my old cello teacher told me about that Martian story when I was younger

Good sage wisdom!

Love that guy.

Appreciation for great metal guitar playing is coming back
