"Yes, I'm a legend" - Interview with Dave Mustaine of Megadeth (2008) 

underrated comment

lol great comment.

Haaaa, u win.

LMAO why does this comment not have atleast 1k likes???

That definitely sounded like a Megadeth lyric.

It's nice to see

I've been around drug users etc. enough to be fairly convinced Dave is on some shit here. I've NEVER seen him speak so fast and with that positive tone.

It shows how smart he was. How on he was.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

When he was young he used to speak faster and with a higher pitch tone in his voice.

My thoughts precisely

Chemo does a number on u bruh

And he didn't end up divorced, either.

Just two years later, he looks like a granny.

That's what alcoholism and drugs do to you

Yeah i think he must still be on a lil gas from the dentist visit lmfao

He could be on about the times he overdosed. He's mentioned in other interviews that he's had near fatal drug use and was declared dead. He also attempted suicide in 1993

@@joshuadavis2505 yeah I know man, his autobio is one of my favourite books

Well, he is a legend by definition.

I don't know how he aged so fast in the last 7 years. He doesn't even look like this anymore.

he was pretty happy around 2008, you get this vibe from many interviews around that time. United Abominations was a killer record, Ellefson got back on board a year later, it was indeed a second spring for Megadeth.

must have been the anesthesia

Well he was about to get a divorce and be single.

After the dentist !

@@AZ-vv1rf I thought David came back on thirteen not endgame

Is it weird that I read your comment just as he said it

Yes! I couldn't do without Kirk, but I'd find space for Dave. Fuck Lars. Though I respect him, I really do, but he doesn't really fit the band of virtuosos. Well, compared to him. I love Kirk, but losing Dave was a big blow. I get that he was probably an alcoholic ass back then, though. I can identify. But still. I like the guy.

@@Daedalus-ed5nd Lars didn't fit in Metallica ... Ok And Justice for Drum parts and composition are virtuosity. Lars composed Blackened main guitar riff. You can not say "I'm not juding any body " and you're a better person and consistantly talk shit on Metallica. I love Dave but he always was a Dick. Sorry. You can tell stupid thing on ANYBODY using these drunk or teenagers fooleries If it is all he has to say it never change what all the industry says about Lars: the nicest person in this business. (Mike Portnoy.Dave Lombardo.) But abviously you can kick a dog (and he'll still like you) but not kick him from the band... (He thought that it was Lars' decision)

@@michaelromeo9567 1: Lars seems like a dick, agreed. 2: I love "...And justice for all". 3: Dave also seemed like a dick, at least when he was drinking. 4: I also respect Lars for what he is and has done. 5: I still don't quite feel that he fits.

@@Aone-oq8gp Lars wrote the Main GUITAR riff. Do your research.

wont argue...will laugh though.

@@asedcopf he is a legend.

Put two bands together sold 60 million Albums, awesome guitar 🎸 player, awesome song writer, sick 😫 riffs created, awesome guitars 🎸, etc, etc 😎I think 🤔 he's a legend, MEGADETH RULZ, MEGADAVE RULZ, MEGAFAN 4EVER 💯🇵🇷🎸✌👊🤞🤘

@@asedcopf Because you're not one.

He sucks

He is high as fuck on Adderall here. Lip smacking and rambling, dead give away.

"I sold 40 million albums with Metallica"... Umm, no they stole a few riffs off you. Then there's the gem "I was begging, I paid my dues" 🙄 Is there a puke emoji?

@@somewhatsomething4882 you obviously don't get how revolutionary Daves Metallica shit was. He wrote half the fuckin first album.

@@isopropyltoxicity A lot of people just don't get it, either because they weren't there, or they just don't know their stuff as well. Or because they are more into later stuff. But for the real metallers, we know how vital Dave was to the band.

@@hmpz36911 "the real metallers" haha you're not more metal than anyone else, dude, we're all fans. That sounds ridiculous.

It’s what brought him fame and fortune !

@@davidwaring6815 Too

In this interview**

If you look at his songs lyrics you know he’s a genius

The dude's crazy smart dude have you seen him on celebrity jeopardy? He's a fucking savant bro.

He tells it like he sees it. Big difference. I've caught Dave contradicting himself countless times, and he lives with many demons, so to speak.

@@hmpz36911 exactly.

Dave is as phony as it goes,he lies lot and deceives people.

@@hmpz36911 Dave is always real. You may get a different Dave at different times due to his mood or modern times. A lot of the changes were necessary for him to survive. Regardless of how you feel about his faith you have to realize that you either get that or you would have said RIP to him a long time ago. He didn't do it to betray anyone or sell out he did it to survive. The old Dave was killing him. He still tries to be as honest as possible and his heart is in the right place even if his opinions may or may not be depending on the subject.

@@johnwilliams8130 I can see your points. Pretty fair statements.

Same

When i got KICKED on Metallica

Lol. Well, technically he was put on a bus and sent across country so I guess that's leaving the band in the literal sense

He should have gone to Rehab

@@watchlistenlearn YOU should have gone to rehab!! (Just kidding, you don't need to I don't think. Unless you think it's a problem, but that's up to you. I don't think it is. You're not hurting anyone so it's probably fine).

@@465marko I dont have a problem. Sure I drink and smoke pot once in a while. But Dave thinks hes God lol

He was on drugs during this interview though. In his autobiography he talks about it

Considering James kicked his dog he should have popped him for sure

@@frfoljek68 yeah

@@oldmate99 deserved

The French do it better.

@Kay Theo yea true! Pretty sure this is from 2008, time flies

@@TRACKSARTEFr legends

@@kristianjuel6198 Title says 2008, my guess is we can trust the title.

@@TRACKSARTEFr nah, when i think about... i dont think its 2008

That is messed up

I would have done the same to be honest!

What you wrote needs a summary.

@@ElectricMahatama Rock and Roll. There's your summary.

@@oldskool4572 you have used too many words.

@@ElectricMahatama My bad. How about...drugs.

@@oldskool4572 thanks thats very succinct.I understood.

Speaks 2x faster than normal.

Truth comes in many forms.

Isn’t that accepted truth now? Considering his mistakes on stage and his technique in general... Not saying he’s particularly bad, just what’s there about him today to make him exceptional?

About time someone said this publicly. And this interview is pre St.Anger :)

I was looking for that comment to dont repost it... mean dave hahahaha

That's is not savage, it's the truth. As a drummer Lars is not only unexceptional he is bad and as a human being he is a waste of space. I used to work for the company that supplied Metallica's lighting and stage sets and IMO Lars is an oxygen thief. James is ok ...as long as Lars isn't in the same room. Back in '89 or '90 I was on tour with Megadeth and Testament as part of the road crew and Dave is a really nice guy if a bit troubled. Good to hear he got over his drug thing! He liked them a bit too much and he wasn't all that choosy as long as he got off his head.

Bruh I was just thinking and wishing about it, god I hope so.

We need more people from the metal community on the podcast, like Dave, or Tom Araya, Nergal, Mario & Joe Duplantier... That would be cool

His interview with Alex Jones was cool as hell

Dave is certainly racist enough to be on Joe Rogan tbh

@@flanplan718 🤦‍♂️

true, very good interview

lmao he's on some fuckin drugs

c'est quand même une sacrée grande gueule ^^

@@zak203 Carrément :) J'ai aimer comme il descend Lars Ulrich :D

Je dirais même qu'il est rayonnant !

@@yourilevesque2 C'est tout a fait ça ! Vous avez tout bien résumé :)

Pourquoi dans un bon jour ? Il a pas l'air méchant le gars. Il critique beaucoup mais faut le reconnaître, techniquement il est bien au dessus de Hammett ou metallica tout court.. Groupe moins commercial et c'est pas plus mal.. Quand tu vois metallica chanter avec l'autre merde de Lady gaga maintenant..

Isnt that the only way to be?

More like 35 years

@@jasoncurry207 'Hope to enjoy his music for many more years; It has been around 25 years FOR ME'

Oh gotcha lol

@@jasoncurry207 But come to realize it's closer to like 28 years. Countdown to Extinction was my first Megadeth album as a 13 year old and Rust in Peace my second. Both 2 of my favourite Megadeth albums.. Guess Rust is still my actual favourite, mainly because of its awesome riffs, cold/gulf war era theme and of course, Marty's epic solos :-)

Lol yeah right

Bien vu... et de rien ;)

As a woman I think she's crazy.. it says a lot x)

Did he divorce pam and get back together?

Une femme, quoi..

I'd never said that to dave lol

XD

baby

@@thedog7494 Hey baby 😘

They would've been too good for the good of mankinf

They would have kicked Lars out of the band. Imagine people kicking you out of your band.

Cliff hated Dave

@@Ryan-kc5pl they all hated Dave, thats why they kicked him out

@@Ryan-kc5pl Dave and Cliff were best friends

Really!? That son of a gun just couldn’t resist the devil, only joking love Dave!

Yea he reconsidered it because he wanted to play it. Not because of the hex obviously but because it was a good song.

Were the lyrics the same though?

Glad he decided to play it again as it's in my top 3 favorite Megadeath songs

And a year after that he was diagnosed with throat cancer. The man upstairs does not play around. In Dave's words though, it is speculation. But it is eerie how those type of things connect so easily. It is very possible that Dave didn't tell the whole truth about the "hex" he put on the guy for physical damage. That person could well have been for a member of Metallica, which wound up being Cliff Burton. Not only was his leg completely destroyed, but he died in that bus accident. This is the excerpt that describes the unexplainable coincidences and events that occurred that day from his Wikipedia page: In Sweden, on the Damage Inc. tour in support of Master of Puppets, the band members complained that the sleeping cubicles on their tour bus were unsatisfactory and uncomfortable. To decide who received pick of the bunks, Kirk Hammett and Burton drew playing cards.[16] On the evening of September 26, 1986, Burton won the game with an ace of spades, thereby getting the first choice of bunk. Burton turned to Hammett and said "I want your bunk"; Hammett then responded, "Fine, take my bunk, I'll sleep up front, it's probably better up there anyway." Burton was sleeping shortly before 7:00 a.m. on September 27 when, according to the driver, the bus skidded off the road (the E4, 12 miles (19 km) north of Ljungby),[17] and flipped onto the grass in Kronoberg County.[18] Burton was thrown through the window of the bus, which fell on top of him and killed him. The bus driver said that the crash was caused by the bus hitting a patch of black ice on the road, but James Hetfield later stated that he first believed the bus flipped because the driver was drunk. Hetfield also stated that he walked long distances down the road looking for black ice and found none. When local freelance photographer Lennart Wennberg (who attended the crash scene the following morning) was asked in a later interview about the likelihood that black ice caused the accident, he said it was "out of the question" because the road was dry and the temperature around 2 °C (36 °F), above the freezing point of 0 °C (32 °F). This was confirmed by police who - like Hetfield - also found no ice on the road. Ljungby detective Arne Pettersson was reported in a local newspaper to have said the tracks at the accident site were exactly like ones seen when drivers fall asleep at the wheel. However, the driver stated under oath that he had slept during the day and was fully rested; his testimony was confirmed by the driver of a second tour bus that was carrying the band's crew and equipment.[17] The driver was determined not at fault for the accident and no charges were brought against him.[19]

Look at him now, if you think this is crazy. This is from 2008.

Wow, thanks!

whow exactly the same. Metallica is more boring now fo me and Megadeth has plenty of cool riffs and soli to learn. besides, I seem to have seen an interview with Lars who said that his son preferred to listen to Megadeth more

@@berniedenhaut4803 I've those first 4 albums and appreciate the Black album, but even Death Magnetic bores me. As for Megadeth, Dystopia was a great album, as were the few before it. I love Dave's subject matter, too. He's waking people up

J'ai chez moi en anglais super cool mais j'ai fais une pause j'en suis a quand il enregistre youthanasia

J'allais en parler, mais vous m'avez devancé ! Superbe livre en effet.

Tout d'accord Lemmy. Certains le trouveront prétentieux.Il a eu la "prétention" de vouloir être le meilleur. Tous les grands, en sport, musique, cinéma, ont cette prétention. Sans ça, il n'aurait pas survécu à son éviction de Metallica. Salutations musicales.

Je suis entièrement d'accord

He’s had a lot of surgeries since then plus the years of abuse caught up so he’s aged quickly

he was being honest, and honestly its a valid thing to be sad about.

Laure LINNÉ 17 cures de désintoxication, le type sait de quoi il parle.et il en a fait quelques unes depuis l interview (2008).

regard la video dans la quelle il tue Moon Zappa dans Jeopardy...!

Jason went through it - with those 2 clowns.

@@seagullpoet so Eric Bell 😅

Can confirm

Fun fact I started in piano 🎹. Than ended up picking up a guitar the notes are very very similar

@@natoalvarez5762 Similar? They're exactly the same....

Très bizarre en effet. Mais pour l'aisance, euh, non, c'est carrément l'inverse. Il a l'air d'avoir beaucoup lutté pour s'en libérer; assez pour avoir un recul certain

Have you read the biography he wrote?I did the audio version which took about 10 hours.you should listen to it on youtube.It is great!
