METALLICA's JAMES HETFIELD: DAVE MUSTAINE 'Is Not In This Band For A Reason'
- Oct. 8, 2009
|
|
On September 28, 2009, METALLICA guitarist/vocalist James Hetfield was interviewed by Cindy Scull of the Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas radio station 97.1 The Eagle Rocks. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below. On rumors that METALLICA was assembling a tour that would feature the "Big Four" of the 1980s underground thrash metal scene — itself, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX: Hetfield: "Sounds like a good idea, huh? . . . Well, it's really up to everybody [to make it happen]. We don't know. It's one of these nostalgic ideas that pops up. . . We don't know; we haven't really taken it any steps further. . . You know what?! Music transcends all kinds of B.S., so if it's something that feels right, then hopefully it could happen." (Listen to Hetfield talking about "Big Four" tour rumors by clicking on audio player below.) On how METALLICA deals with "gossipy" stuff coming MEGADETH mainman (and former METALLICA guitarist) Dave Mustaine, who recently went as far as to claim that METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich was supposed to have been fired in 1986: Hetfield: "[Laughs] Exactly like I just reacted; you've gotta laugh at it. . . Well, you've gotta go big picture with this stuff. It's sooo odd to me... This is soooo... It is very Dave, and that's him. And no matter what band he was in or whatever... I mean, Dave is not in this band for a reason, and this is the reason. It's super-simple. He was in the band for 11 months and it goes on and on and on and on and on. I don't know any other band on this planet that there was a member in the band for a short amount of time and they've still got this big chip on his shoulder. It's insane! . . . You know what?! He's in love, and that's fine, 'cause we love him back." On why Dave Mustaine wasn't inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame along with the current lineup of METALLICA and former members Jason Newsted and Cliff Burton: Hetfield: "He's not inducted because he's not on any records; that's one of the Hall Of Fame deals. . . The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame is what it is. I think it's 25 years after your first record, you are eligible, so whoever's played on records is eligible. It's as simple as that." (Listen to Hetfield talking about Dave Mustaine by clicking on audio player below.) Cindy Scull's entire September 28, 2009 interview with James Hetfield is available for streaming in two parts below. In the September 2009 issue of U.K.'s Metal Hammer magazine, Mustaine stated about his decision to turn down METALLICA's invitation to attend their induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, " Lars said, 'If you were on the record, you got inducted; if you weren't on the record, you didn't,' and would I come along and hang out and watch them get inducted? I was like, 'Dude, that's so typical!' It makes for the same kind of mentality as a guy watching some other guy fuck his girlfriend. I just said, 'I'm flattered and I'm proud of you guys and I wish you well. I'll be there if I'm being inducted, but if I'm gonna watch, then I've got better things to do.'" Mustaine added, "To say that I'm not on the record, well, I'd say that there are 40 million fans with MEGADETH and METALLICA records in their collections that would say that Dave is on the METALLICA records because my name's on there [in the songwriting credits], but I guess Lars never really looked past the word ' Ulrich.' He just stopped there and read it again, over and over and over! "Bottom line is, I'm going to get into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame one way or another and he can't keep me out! When I do, I'm going to ask him to induct us and I'm gonna give eggs to everyone in the front row! [Laughs]" Mustaine publicly declined METALLICA's invitation to attend the April 4 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame ceremony, citing European tour commitments, but issued a statement congratulating the band. Mustaine claimed in a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine that METALLICA wanted to fire Ulrich after the group finished touring in 1986 — but the plan was disrupted by the death of bassist Cliff Burton in a tour bus accident. Reporter Greg Prato asked, "As far as you know, is it true that on the last METALLICA tour Cliff Burton was on before he died, the band was planning on firing Lars Ulrich at the tour's end?" Mustaine replied, "That's what Scott ( Ian, ANTHRAX guitarist) told me. He said that when METALLICA got home, that James ( Hetfield, frontman), Cliff and Kirk ( Hammett, guitarist) were going to fire Lars." However, ANTHRAX's webmaster refuted Mustaine's statement in a post on ANTHRAX's official Twitter profile, writing, "Story's not true. Little does anyone know but Lars actually owns the ( METALLICA) name. Good luck ever kicking him out."

Dave probably just killed any chance of a Big Four tour with his recent comments about how End Game is better than Death Magnetic. How juvenile. I wouldn't know because I suspect the new album is similar to United Abominations, which was rehashed and uninspired. Lets do this. Bring Exodus along as well and maybe they will get rid of the bald fat idiot they have screaming for them now. Bring back Zetro you fucks.

It just goes on and on..
Look, metallica, love you guys. But stop playing down Dave's effect on metallica. He's got writing credits all over kill em all, and ride the lightning. If Dave had left metallica, and you guys had scrapped everything he had anything to do with, and went forward that way, then ok, you've got a point. But that isn't what you did. And that's why people will never shut up about it.
Your basically praising the fact that the rock and roll hall of fame screwed someone on a technicality. And that is fucking lame.
THAT is why it's irrelevant whether or not he was in the recording booth with you, and how fucking narrow minded is that anyway? As if the recording process is more important than the creative process?
Fucking hell.

Well, just as Dave's apologists say he was only answering a question. James was asked in the interview, and he rarely speaks about Dave(Lars does most of the public yapping anyways).
I think Dave got his due credit, and money, for his 4 or 5 writing credits. Hell, he even got cash for the S&M record. But he did not perform on the record. Do all the co-writers of other RRHOF performers get in the hall....No.

That would fuckin' rule, actually.
Having said that, I would love to see Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer on one stage, just for the historic nature of such a show.
Anthrax, I couldn't really care less about...decent band back in the day, but Rosenfeld and Benante have shot themselves in the foot so many times, it isn't even funny.

You people always give Dave so much shit when he made his comments about his previous band. However, the blame should put on the people interviewing him. They were the ones who were constantly asking question about about the Metallica subject. Its the press and the fans that still keeps all this crap going on so everyone who posts on here telling Dave to shut up, maybe you should take your own advice.

don't care very much about grown and millonaire people behaving like children, but Hetfield got a point. Mustaine is completely unable to be a part of a band with equal rights, he must be the one who rules the show. He was going to be kicked out of Metallica anytime (soon), the thing is that he didn't had the time to realize that and quit by himself instead of being dismissed. The same applies to Hetfield and Ulrich. They reign in Metallica and the other members are hired coworkers, one with more right than the other to say things because of the time he has been working with them, but other than that Kirk is not on the throne, close but far at the same time.
Mustaine, Hetfield and Ulrich are more similar than they think is my guess, the main difference is that Mustaine has his tongue totally disconnected from his brain and the other 2 don't, at least not as much as Mustaine.

let's see....he's not in this band, because he's the better guitarist the band ever had. Hetfield is ok, kirk has some nice ideas - but he's going out of tune half of the time live... for a guitarist so renowned to be so sloppy... hm.... Dave had some drug problems, but if they were his friends - they should have helped him. Also the way i see it, he was mentioned in the albums up to and including master of puppets... so he wasnt inducted, just because the rest of the guys are egotistical.
They - Tallica also have a #%@#%#@ drummer who should have been ejected years ago....
I was listening to "orion" the other night in a club and i was thinking, darn, if someone played a little tighter on this one... or hey there could be a nice fill here, w/o making the song loose any of it's appeal and so on and so forth....let's not even go into his live performances...
megadeth all ways annihilated metallica performance wise. song wise, i like the early stuff up to 1992 from both bands and then i like songs from both, from that point onwards. Their latest albums were both mediocre. They got the right sound back, but they 're a far cry from being hailed as classics.

For his work on Death Pathetic? Okay that makes sense, since that shit album didn't come out 25 years ago. Bob Rock should have been inducted as well then, since he played on...wait for it...ST. ANGER! ;) His bass work on dirty window and Invisible Kid that fell through the Grid is classic Metal and Hall of Fame Worthy. :) HAHAHA Kirk Hammett is real good with the a wah wah peddle, but Dave is Metal!

Ok guys this is I't straight up if the black album was never made they would not have been inducted into the RRHF period,The ablum didn't have Mustaine on It end of story. Dave is extremley talented no doubt and invented a whole new style of playing by himself but It's like bitching about that chick you went out with in high school 25 years ago and now she is married with 3 kids and living this whole other life that you had nothing to do with an still bitching about how you should have been the "one".
Let's be honest though there is something mentaly wrong with Dave he went on from being kicked out of Metallica to starting again from nothing, created Megadeth ,created a style all of his own, got crazy wealthy, kicked a drug habbit, had a kid, and yet the major thing that plays on his mind is that 11months of his life that he was in Metallica an got fired god dammit man what you have is more then 99.9999% of us will ever experience stop bitching an be thankfull.
Most of all to the reporters stop asking them questions about each other It's 2009 nobody gives a fuck anymore if I wanted to read gossip Id buy People magazine.
And to those of you saying give Dave more credit for his impact on metallica Im sure those royalty checks he gets are credit enough, not only that james is the best rythm player since Malcom Young you don't think that James and Cliffs playing had just as much of an influence on Dave as his on them?

Dave is the dumbest dude, because he could have hung out with lots of guys he would never have a chance to be around, to really feel Metallica family he has deservedly lost long time ago. And 2 or some years later, would get inducted with his own band. Dave is the dumbest dude.

If Ulrich knew about the "Hall Of Fame" rules regarding the fact that you need to play on the record, and even though you wrote the material, he should have told Dave upfront and not just asked him to be a "guest." Who wants to be a "guest" when you helped form the fucking band??

I wasn't absolutley certain that dave should be inducted with Metallica, but once I saw rob was going in and not Dave wasn't, I I thought that is Fucked up. Dave wrote songs that built the foundation of the Metallica brand, but he was only in short time. Even Metallice diehards have to agree it is fucked up for Rob to be included and not Dave. Just compare the songs they both had a hand in writing with Metallica... And this is no disrespect to rob who is a great bass player, but Newstead deserved to be inducted and robert not so much, especially not over Dave Mustaine!

He hears the interviewer, who's a big fan and kissing up, say that Dave speaks poorly about Metallica as of late. That's not what I've seen. Every fan I see has Dave explaining he doesn't want to be misquoted.
Hetfield believed Dave's talking trash without knowing if it's a fact. How can he do that after being famous and doing interviews this long?? If you've got an itchy trigger finger, it's because YOU have the chip on your shoulder, not the other way around.

First of all. I see ALOT of metallica fanboys bitching about mustaine always keeping the "feud" going. Now this is really not true anymore. Blabbermouth take quotes out of context in their and the aformentioned fanboys tend never to read past the title. And now hetfeild is the one bitching about it and he is totally justified.
The issue about ulrich being kicked out of metallica was also a quote taken slightly out of context, and although the anthrax webmanager has denied it, Scott Ian never has, even though he's been asked, but simply avoided the question (Something dave seems to have picked up on, finally)
Mustaine acted valiantly initially with the HoF thing with metallica and uttered nothing but congratulations to them, and it wasnt until comments by ulrich that mustiane got fired up. Although I don't know to what extent it was the HoF people or Metallica themselves that kept mustaine out of being inducted with them, but Ulrich should have handled it better and been more upfront.

Sorry Dave that only a few people like your band, but get over it. It's 2009 for fuck's sake, you got kicked out in 1983. That's 26 goddamn years that you've wasted on your pathetic grudge. Maybe if you weren't such a dumb bitch, you and Metallica would still be friends.

I wish this tour would happen. Don't get me wrong, I love both bands but the tour would rule as Metallica is hands down the better live performance and this would be the chance to prove it.
Compared back to back would be laughable. Yes they are getting older, but Metallica is history compared to MegaDave's merry-go-round of musicians because he burns all of his bridges. It would be proven that Mustaine nor his band bring the energy that Metallica does.
Slayer can still eat a greasy dick. Anthrax would be roadies in the equation.

but how many motherfuckin' guitarist in Metal can write, sing, and then play live and sing at the smae time a song like Holy Wars? Only one man Dave Mustaine, so he can say whatever he wants in my book, because by himself he has more talent then a band of four! Fuck the haters Rust In Peace is musically far superior then anything Metallica has done since it's release!

Now you are going to anger Mega Dave and the tour will never happen. Hes probably going to get hammered, drive over to the Metallica HQ and start kicking you dogs and we will be at square one again. This interview is PROOF that the big four tour will NEVER happen. Too many egos and not enoug love for the fans. Im sorry James, long time Metallica fan, but god DAMN please guys, just think about the fans first and the pride second.

Metallica was my favorite band until they lost their edge and innovation. St. Anger and Death Magnetic=mailing it in! I still have my favorite albums by both bands and don't consider myself a bigger fan of one or the other, but I think what dave is doing now is better then what Metallica is doing now and rob didn't deserve to be in the HOF over Dave. Also, they Fucked Newstead over beacuase they were acting gay and getting in touch with their emotions instead playing Metal, so he was forced out! Metallica made it more about the charachter, when they should have been making quality music!

"never heard of Dave Evans (original singer in AC/DC) or Steven Adler from GNR!"
Adler was actually on two records and was present at the beginning of recording the Use Your Illusions(Matt Sorum had to come in and re-do some of the drums). So he was there for a lot more than Dave in metallica. And most people these days consider him a joke.
Dave Evans? Who hears from him other than on this website? And what you do hear of him is his own self promotion, other than "original acdc singer", it has nothing to do with acdc today.
I agree that lately Dave has said some nicer things, particularly towards James. Yet in the very next interview he'll say something shitty. So instead of 24/7 rage, he's just turned bipolar. Oh well, I still buy his music.
If the Big 4 doesn't happen because Dave won't play "in the round", that will confirm his ultimate stupidity. It would be such a self-absorbed reason to turn down such an event.

clear case of the interviewer instigating things. it's the interviewers who instigate dave into talking about metallica, and then they turn to metallica and say "dave can't stop talking about you!"
james should know that. and he should at some point drop his attitude towards dave, which has always struck me as condescending and backhanded. it's clear he doesn't like him, but they should get together at some point and just hash through things like men. james should at least recognize how much dave contributed to literally co-founding their style and thrash in general. and megadeth records can't be argued with, they're easily on par with metallica if not better and more consistent.

they are better and more consistent, and Megadeth has put out fine albums in the last 20 years while Metallica has not, and Endgame is much better then Death MAgnetic, but still Metallica is a fine band, just veryvery overrated and they have crapped on their fans now for 20 years. they were always saying Motley Crue was this and that but in the end was realy themselfs that wanted to be like Motley had always been, but Motley Crue has always been Motley Crue from the start but ok they changed a little when they got realy big just like any other band but at least they didnt sell out like Metallica did, and they have made much better albums also in the last 20 years and heavier stuff too.

Here's how the Big Four tour will go:
Megadeth opens for Metallica every night. One night, about ten shows in, Dave thinks it might be a cool idea for him to come out onstage for the encore and do a bunch of songs of Kill 'Em All. James says that would be cool -- but not tonight, because they already have something planned for the encore. Dave thinks James is being patronizing and stays up late that night writing a whiny blog post about how James is afraid to play with him because he's the better guitar player. James comes to his dressing room to talk about it a few nights later. Dave turns bright red and stammers out a few sentences. The next day, Dave announces that Megadeth is leaving the tour due to "creative differences."

I love me some Megadeth and I think overall Dave is more talented than any member of Metallica and has made better music when considering their entire bodies of work....
...but with that being said, Dave just got fucking owned there. I'd say Dave is a better musical talent, but Hetfield always seemed like a much cooler dude (which is pretty much the general concensus). This just goes to show it...months of Blabbermouth posting Dave talking about Metallica, and in one little snipped from an interview James knocks it out of the park and wins.
Endgame IS better than Death Magnetic though lol.

I love Metallica I love Megadeth. The two bands have always sounded different from each other. I always thought Metallica wrote more epic songs while Megadeth leaned to a more technical almost progressive side when they were really on.
I would love if they toured together. I would love a Big 4 tour, however I say the hell with Anthrax, are they even a band now? Get Testament. They are much more qualified.
As for the Hall of Fame it is their rules that say you must have played on the debut album. Not just any album. Yes Rob did get into the Hall of Fame by luck if you ask me and that is not a shot at Rob as I like the guy a lot.
Finally it is rare that James says anything about Dave. I would like to see those two together in a meeting, I think more could be accomplished between the two of them, than what happened with Lars.
P.S. Dave why not play "in the round"? What harm would it do you honestly?

Yeah, you kick Dave Mustaine out but steal everything that he wrote and use HIS material on your first three albums. Yeah, I know how Metallica works - bred from the Osbourne camp of scumville. Funny how the first three albums are their best right? Hetifled, Hammett and Lars rode on the back of the material Burton and Mustaine wrote. If only those two formed a band together, a side-project or something. Sadly, Metallica killed him.
At least Dave makes worthy music. What the fuck does Metallica bring? A brand name that sells to sleeping masses with no independent thought. If you like Metallica now, you're just a braindead passive piss-ant.
Hetfield can barely play guitar. Hammett is a fucking sloppy player. Trujillo has wasted his talent and Lars? He can't fucking drum his way out of a paper bag. Sad, pathetic has-beens.

it is too bad that dave mustaine cant let go of this metallica issue. he obviously is jealous that they have so much fame without him..but in all honesty he shouldnt cause he has had a hall of fame type career also with megadeth. but his ego is way to big.. in my opinion megadeth has the best all around album with rust in peace but metallica has more great albums in a whole as in there 1st 5 albums..and wether anyone admits it or not the black album pretty much solidified there Hall entrance, without it they would not have got in!! That is the album that has alluded dave he hasnt been able to record the monster seller!!
anyway get over it dave and move on with the next chapter..

... probably couldn't have said it better. Personally, I think Lars did the classy thing in having acknowledged and invited Dave to the ceremony. As for people bemoaning the fact that Rob was inducted as a member of Metallica ... the band had no say in that (other than having kicked Mustaine out in the first place), and he's been in the band and played more shows with Metallica than Mustane ever dreamed.
Yes, Dave has songwriting credits on a few Metallica songs ... but he also never played a recorded note. His royalties should be more than enough.
And Dave, the only way you're getting into the Rock HOF is by paying a ticket and taking the tour like the rest of us. Wait a minute, I bet you could probably get a pass on that admission.
Metallica just played to approx 20,000 people here in Ft. Lauderdale last week. Megadeth is playing down the street next month at a just under 1000 capacity club.
Kind of says it all.

"Dave is not talking shit these days. I really feel for the guy, If you ever saw the VH1 Megadeth special, Dave a rough childhood to say the least, and he thought he found a family in Megadeth, in his interviews for that show he even said getting kicked out of Metallica was more painful then his own fathers death to him. I realize Dave probably overstates his importance to Metallica, and that he has been going on and on about for way too long, but the guys in Metallica have egged him on, they are just way more subtle about it, they use more passive aggressive tactics. They have continued to marginalize Daves contribution, and dismiss him as inconsequential in every interview that he is mentioned. If they were at all interested in ending this feud and really healing the rift between them they would, acknowledge, and validate the extent of his contribution and not try to marginalize him, perhaps they would show some regret about how everything turned out, and I really think thats all Dave would really need. From what I have read/seen I do believe Dave is trying, but the guys in Metallica gave him a little acknowledgement it would move mountains in healing their relationship and increase the chances of a big 4 tour by 1000%"
Great post. The thing is... Dave is very civil these days and now you have Hetfield lighting a fire again. He ignore Dave for years but just when Dave is cool, he bitch.
Lars And James can't stand the fact that Dave was there in the beginning and helped them create their sound. They marginalize him because they know that Dave's contribution was important, that he was a real metalhead with the attitude that goes with it.
Lars and James are afraid of Mustaine.

This will always be a hot topic amongst metal fans. I mean, look at how many people commented on this issue.
The fact is we have a lot of awesome metal from both bands because Dave was dismissed from Metallica. I wish Dave would realize this fact. Mustaine always seems to be the one that can't let this issue die and that probably stems from rejection issues he's had throughout his life in relationships. It was his upbringing and we can't fault him for that part of his pysche. The media feeds off of that fact. I only fault Metallica because they know this and still comment on Dave.
My point is that because neither band can get over this, we will never see this "Big Four" tour happen and that's sad for every die-hard metal fan on this planet who has been loyal to this genre since its inception.

That sums everything up. That's how stupid Mustaine is. Remember DeNiro in The Fan? Always talking how him and Coop played awesome games and this and that, when in reality they were just kids playing for some months? Dave is just like that.

We all know why Dave is not in the band. Back in the early 80's when Mustaine was in there. He was a huge drinker etc. and one day he and James got into a fight etc. Then a few days later they put DM on a bus back to Cali. and then he formed Megadeth to get back @ Metallica.

I will agree, Dave held a grudge too long, but in many ways i can see why he would. Tell me how u would feel if:
1. You basically start an entire genre of music and the band that kicked you out, gets 99% of the credit(many of his songs were written while in his previous band PANIC).
2. You write many of the songs that make ur prev band, tell them not to use them and they use them anyway and still get the credit.
3.The band u start writes just as good albums if not better(i think most are better)and ur ex band easily outsells u and becomes alot more popular.
4.Your a big influence on the prev bands main riff writer and rythym player, its never mentioned or admitted and HE gets all the praise.
4. The guitar player that replaced you, who is not technically as good and is nowhere near as talented, gets voted time and time again as best metal guitar player(i have no logical idea on earth why, except for the bands popularity) meanwhile ur work is practically ignored.
5.You watch over the years as ur previous band along with the public virtually ignore all u contributed to the making of the band and the influence u brought to it.
With all this said, it would've been nice if Dave could've let all this go a long time ago, but people react differently.
For me, I think Dave should be secure in the knowledge that he and i think his ex bandmates knows that he is more talented, the better song writer, more consitent and at least by musicians, more respected.

I'm glad he's no longer in Metallica. Man doesn't know how to shut the fuck up. All he does is bitch and moan. His ego is bigger than his band.
Megadeth's also second for a reason, Dave...

Are there any interviewers not named Full Metal Jackie or Alex Jones that know never to ask Dave Mustaine about Metallica anymore?

"
but how many motherfuckin' guitarist in Metal can write, sing, and then play live and sing at the smae time a song like Holy Wars? "
Chuck Schuldiner of Death was a far superior guitarist to Dave, he wrote, sang, and played and sang at the same time live.
Also, James Hetfield, Mikael Akerfeldt, Nergal, and James Malone to name a few more.

Megadeth just like most other metal band are far superior to Metallica, they are just some corporate crap and have been now for 20 years, ok their first few albums was good, topping it with master of puppets but after that just ok, and then shit for 20 years

Dave, get over it, fucker. Just Admit that Metallica has made some great music without you and that you weren't able to go in their footsteps. It's fucking 25 years ago. It only proves that your live isn't interesting. But I have to admit, Endgame is indeed a better album then Death Magnetic.

what's the difference between Mustaine and Hetfield?
Mustaine is better as technique on guitar. He is fast and precise, playing good live - both solos and rythm
Hetfield is better singer and probably the best rhythm guitarist.
One big difference though - every person on this world with enough practice can be like Mustaine. Not the same for Hetfield.

dont come up with a lousy joke like this, Hetfield isnt exactly better singer he just has a voice thats much more likely that people like while Mustaine has a voice you either hate or love. but after Hetfield started to end every sentence with an aagghhh then people started to maybe hate his voice.
and i think Mustaine is probably also much better rythm guitarist and is much better guitarist all around. and its much harder to be anything like Mustaine then Hetfield.

stop fucking blaming the interviewer for asking questions!!!! They are doing their job and if the person being interviewed responds, those are words they are responsible for.
I'm so fucking sick of reading how "well if the douche-bag interviewer didn't ask that question then..." blah blah blah blah. That IS SOOOO lame!!!! This is about blaming the wrong fucking person. When someone like Michael Richards (Seinfeld guy) makes racist comments do you blame the microphone or his agent for booking him??? NO you don't. We all say, "You fucking asshole, you are a racist piece of crap and you should not have said those awful things."
How many times do you see people say, "No comment" or "I'd rather focus on..." or "I'd rather talk about something else..." I mean anything but answer a question that's going to bring shame or disrespect!!!
These people (Mustaine/Hetfield) are famous and professional and they don't have to participate in this girly fucking nit pickin' shit that goes on.
Keep in mind, the interviewer knows that this is a "hot topic" and people will read and by the evidence of the hundred or so posts, we all have an opinion about it - hence they're going to keep asking. Duh!!!!!! They are just doing their job so stop blaming the interviewer!!!!!!

I dig both bands... hell, he has now dragged Anthrax into this shit. Dave, bro... get the fuck over it. Some of us, who love both bands, have tried to ignore your crying git on SKOM and the fact that you act like a dick about shit all the time when it comes to Metallica.
But when you shit on their olive branch and then talk MORE shit about them, it makes me want to root against you. Now, I dig your latest album and hope you continue to make great music, but time to move on and make peace with Metallica.

If the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame only recognizes those individuals that played on a record, does that mean Jerry Cantrell, Les Claypool, Pepper Keenan, etc. should be inducted because they played on "Tuesday's Gone" from Garage Inc.?
I realize they were "guest" musicians, but where is the line drawn? They have to play on an entire record? Michael Kamen conducted the orchestra on S&M and a couple other Metallica tunes, does that make him eligible?

You know, through all of this, it is becoming more and more apparent that Metallica are cool normal guys who are just enjoying being in Metallica and are grateful for that. Mustaine sometimes seems like he has got his head together but he just can't seem to help himself, though he keeps saying he doesn't want to talk shit about Metallica anymore and has moved on, which he should because Megadeth is fucking smokin' again...I don't know, maybe I gotta grow up and stop talking about dudes I've never met...shit I gotta pay rent, I should focus on that.

Get over it already. It is an anchor for the much larger machine of Metallica. Meg. will never reach their status, wheter Metallica is more mainstream or not. Not on their last LP (hardcore LP). It's prob. that Dave is still upset. He should look at it this way, If they never kicked him out he wouldn't have his band. so, he will moan over those few credits to keep his name involved with Metallica, at least Meg. fans bring it up. So let Metallica say their responsible for Dave's band even forming! congrats Metallica. I used to have everything Meg. put out, however with his big mouth and hatred/jealousy I sold about 10 or 11 cd's (meg). He's shamelessy self promoting too and his, "It's a great time to be me" and "I've regained my stature in the metal community." I really liked 6 or 7 of their lps. Just can't take him anymore!!! sorry....
p.s. I wonder what he learned from Metallica's Hetfield/Burton/Ulrich. Gotta be somthin' in there. Everyone absorbs creativity and influences. I bet Mcgovney even learned alot from them. who knows. It's over...forget about him and his brief stint with Metallica.

And they stole his work and used what Mustaine written on the first three albums. If you were a good person, you wouldn't kick someone out your band and STEAL their work.
Hetfield is a hack. Lars is a hack. Hammett is a sloppy prick and Trujillo is just a bum boy idolozing his feeble fame off this brand name.
Metallica isn't a band. It's a sad product that appeals to people with fuck all music knowledge e.g. Green Day fans; people who jump on bandwagons. Hetfield and Co know Mustaine is the most talented person and are fucking shit-scared of him.

If Mustaine really was the brains behind Metallica and Hetfield was a hack then dont you think Cliff would have left with mustaine rather than play in Metallica??? But he didnt leave!
Its completely ridiculous to claim that Mustaine single-handedly influenced every guitarist on the planet the way some retards post here. Back at the time he was in Metallica, they were all very young and still developing their style ( including Mustaine). I'm pretty sure he learnt some stuff from Hetfield just as Hetfield learnt from him.
Oh, and all the Megasheep need to get their facts right.
1) Mustaine has writing credits on 4 songs off KEA and 2 songs of RTL. Thats only 6 songs out of the combined 18 songs of the 1st two records.
2) A lot of classic songs like Motorbreath, Whiplash, Metal Militia, Fight Fire with Fire, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Trapped Under Ice, Creeping Death, etc were written by Hetfield & Hammet.
Hit the Lights was actually written by Hetfield before Mustaine was even in Metallica.
3) Mustaine didnt have anything to do with MOP or AJFA and those are both awesome thrash records.
4) Metallica doesnt need to be scared of Mustaine. Fact is they are much bigger than Megadeth will ever be and arent interested in Mustaine at all. Its Mustaine who keeps bringing this stuff up because he's so insecure about himself. Thats why he's always going on and on - " I'm No.1!!! I'm No.1!!! I'm No.1!!! ".

I happen to love all the big four, bullshit quarreling between them notwithstanding. I also think Death Magnetic is awesome, and so is Endgame. Both albums are a refreshing return to form. But not enough credit is given to Anthrax here, and a lot of that is because they haven't been putting out albums consistently. I know they've had a spotty past lately, with singer issues and stuff, but the core of Bello, Bentante and Ian are rock solid. Ian was never a great soloist, but his riffs are great, and Charlie Bentante is one of the best timekeepers in thrash. But what's most incredible to me is that somehow, they've managed to steer clear of all the petty bullshit between these bands. King says Mustaine is a douche. Mustaine says Ulrich is a douche, and so on. You guys are nearing 50 at a rapid pace and are probably on the short end of your careers. We don't need drama--this isn't TMZ. We want kickass music until you collect social security. This was the first real incident I can remember of a member of Anthrax being thrown between two warring factions in petty quarreling, and once again they responded like champs and, in typical 'thrax fashion, with tongues firmly planted in cheek. That's showing them how it's done--undisputably, the Switzerland of the Big Four!
