MEGADETH's DAVE MUSTAINE: 'I Am Going To Trust God To Sort This Out'
- Oct. 26, 2009
|
|
MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine has responded to several fan postings on the band's official forum in regards to the status of the group's relationship with its record label, Roadrunner Records, and the possibility of MEGADETH releasing another studio album as a follow-up to this year's "Endgame". On the choice of "44 Minutes" as the next single from "Endgame": Mustaine: "It doesn't matter what song we choose as a single, we have no radio presence. Hell, my own hometown plays nothing from MEGADETH, but they sure do play my last band every hour. "The radio person at Roadrunner has a very different approach to radio than I do, and since we never get any substantial radio impact, and all I have been able to do was have a Number 1 single, five or so Top 5 singles, many Top 10, dozens of Top 40, yet we can't get anything played from this new record with any consistency, I would say we have a very different approach. "So far, I have had 'A Tout Le Monde' banned, and rejected last year, and nothing after that, and this year we have given away two songs and we are already on the third track, and I had to actually call up the guy and ask him for interviews, to which he said, 'I didn't know you wanted to do interviews.' "Therefore, singles do not matter anymore." On whether MEGADETH can release a "live" or compilation album in order to fulfill the band's current contract with Roadrunner Records: Mustaine: "I don't know, but I do know that I am a man of my word and that I am going to fulfill my contract. Rest assured though that I am not going to be releasing a compilation record nor a live record for my final record for Roadrunner." On Mustaine allegedly stating in a previous online post that Roadrunner wanted to extend the MEGADETH contract and re-sign MEGADETH for more albums and that Roadrunner threatened stop producing "Endgame" unless Mustaine complied: Mustaine: "I said that the president [of Roadrunner] came out and said it was the last record and that if we didn't re-sign with them for more records they were going to stop selling the record, and I have always known that there was another record owed, I just wanted to see what they were going to do, and I also face the physical problems, so regardless of what they say or don't say, if my neck or spine says, 'You're done, Dave,' then I am done. "I hate talking about this because it is not fair to the other guys [in MEGADETH] when it suggests no job security. "I love my my relationship with a lot of the people that I am working with, and I know that it seems selfish sometimes to say that I am going to stop. But if the body or the hands say that's it, well, then that is it. "I still have fire in my belly and I really wished that 'Endgame' was handled differently, but I am going to trust God to sort this out, and if the record was meant to die quickly and if I am meant to suffer another blow to my ego, my pride, my legacy and so on, in order to be a better person and to be closer to God, well, then I will soldier on and complete my time there with grace and honor. "I can tell you that while it is destroying our tenure with Roadrunner, I am not going to let this bother me anymore. I think history will dictate this whole thing, and I am completely prepared to work, so we will see where it goes now." "Endgame" has sold around 76,000 copies in the United States since its release five weeks ago. The CD registered the following U.S. weekly sales, according to Nielsen SoundScan: Week 1: 44,696 Week 2: 12,833 Week 3: 8,640 Week 4: 5,583 Week 5: 3,948 "Endgame" currently sits at position No. 142 on The Billboard 200 chart.

given the amount of shit that Mustaine usually talks, and the fact that Roadrunner are obviously waging a sustained campaign to smear him via this website (for which he generously provides and endless stream of shithead comments), it's hard to know what the truth is here...
but the claims they're trying to bully him into a new contract does sound feasible...

"Hell, my own hometown plays nothing from MEGADETH, but they sure do play my last band every hour".
He's still bringing it out... Is he truly an idiot or what? He moans journalists are always bringing that one in interviews and he's the first to ressurect the past on his own Forum...
Maybe we do not care as much as you do for you band of hired guns Dave, that's maybe why radios arent eating in the hand of Roadrunner to play your new album. Maybe a lot of us understood you were a dick and stopped buying your albums a decade ago.
Wake up Dave! Anyone with a minimal cranial cubicage would wake-up but, acting like you do, it seems you're out of the norm!

Your last band?
Oh, do you mean METALLICA?
The band you were kicked out of OVER TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO?
The band that you NEVER MADE AN ALBUM WITH?
I really love a lot of Megadeth's music, but Mustaine has made sure he will always be known as "the bigger guy who got kicked out of Metallica back when they were a demo band"

Dallas- if your friends don't know it's out or that it was coming out, they live in the dark. The album was very well publicized. In fact, most people (outside of Dave I guess) are actually surprised at how well it is doing.
Why does he expect to be on the radio, exactly? What other bands of that style/time period are getting radio play, except for Metallica?? Maybe he missed the part where Metallica became one of the biggest bands on earth?

BUT Roadrunner are fucking scumbags here.
No second thought about it.
Megadeth IS on contract with them, and while blabbermouth's editors are paid by them as they host this page they know that Dave's postings on HIS forum harms his credibility.
They are picking the worst parts that are sure to piss off as many ppl as possible, publish them here and give it some extra treatment by creating stupid headlines taken out of context.
This is BY FAR the worst treatment of an artist by his very own label that I can remember for the last years.
Non-promotion for a band with such a big legacy, and calculated deconstruction of a man's career to an extend that it does not make sense to buy yourself out of your contract to switch labels.
I think I read somewhere that Mustaine is going through divorce at the same time.
Nice behavior, guys.
Endgame might not be the best record since Rust in Peace, but for sure this was the last album I will buy from Roadrunner Records.
In fact, everybody who ever picked up an instrument and tried to make a career in heavy metal should spend a thought about that.
Good luck, General! \m/

People stopped taking risks buying Dave's music once 'Risk' was released. So now fans will download it online first, to see if it's any good. And unless it's really that good, they won't go buy it.
Well, 'Endgame' isn't that good.

I don't really care about the relationship between RR and Megadeth, but it sure seems to be acrimonious on both sides.
Shouldn't this be considered conflict of interest on BM's part? Isn't it ethical for them to also state that BM is a subsidiary of RR?
It seems highly unprofessional to me....

you give the human race a bad rap.
He did not even mention Metallica this time by name and you wish to castrate him with your objective oral venom that fall on blind eyes.
Ask yourself this, "do you really want Megadeth or Dave Mustaine to go away?" Think for a second what that would mean... All this talk of Dave gettin ready to hang it up makes me uneasy. He deserves to have his hit album promoted right and thats what you BBMers should be posting about. Dave is a good guy, just very misunderstood half the time.
I hope Dave hangs on till he physically cant play no more and I hope that is many years down the road this happens. There is still too much left to do Dave, you still got something to prove and you are by far BETTER than Metallica of today and are staples in the thrash revival along Testamant and Death Angel.

Metallica was not mentioned in name, but he did refer to his former band.
Anyone who talks about God that much is probably compensating for their fear that they don't really believe in God. Like people who put religious bumper stickers on their cars. Always looking for bonus points just in case he's really up there.

Whatever you think about Dave, Megadeth or Endgame, if you're telling me that World Painted Blood is going to be a better album then Endgame, then you're just kidding yourself. That overproduced, underwhelming Greg Fidelman loudness war monster (which has the guitars buried deep in the mix for some ungodly reason) might actually sell more initially because Slayer is still on a major label. But apparently the idiots on here that use Endgame's lack of quality as a reason for lower sales... will then turn around and defend their favorite band mediocrity's lower sales on it being a tough economy, more illegal downloading and lack of promotion (or whatever else they can think of). Ya'll are a piece of work you know that? Hypocritical to your very core.
ALL metal heads know that an album or band's quality does not equate to album sales (and the same goes for movies, TV, games etc.)... because we deal with it every day. You want proof? Load has sold as many albums as Ride the Lightning, S&M has sold as many albums as Master of Puppets... are those numbers indicative of their albums quality? FUCK NO! Use your god damn brains or stop being pussies whining about everything that Dave does that you don't like.
You come to these Megadeth stories of your own free will, you make yourself read them, you force yourself to respond to them, Blabbermouth spies in on the Megadeth boards (which require an account) and posts every damn message Dave writes as a news story... and you eat it all up! What does that say about you and your coming here just to complain about it? Oh I'm sorry, I forgot that being "troo" metal requires you not to think about anything.

If I were Dave and were going to "honor" my last album with RR, I would make it a spoken word rant and rave session or something so ridiculously humiliating toward RR. This is indeed disturbing that a "label" would treat a man, his band and legacy. There's not much left on old RR these days that are worth a shit anyways (aside from DD & Soulfly, but Max beware). They shit on Fear Factory, Type O, Obituary, Sepultura, Zakk/BLS, and now Megadeth. If Dave does release another album, I will buy it because it will be Megadeth and not because of RR. Unfortunately same goes for DD & Soulfly. Perhaps Lars has someone in his pocket at the label, or the PR guys are the idiot mentality 'Tallica fans... well if so FUCK YOU!!!!! Either way FUCK YOU!!! for treating one of your bands this way. I hope the bad karma that some have spoke of comes full circle in that RR tanks in the end, they deserve nothing less for the shit they've pulled over the years and for this. Great job RR, I hope this is the beginning of your "endgame". To Dave, Endgame is a great album and displays the progression of being "back to form" that was initiated on TSHF.
Oh and before I forget, a FUCK YOU!!! to the haters as well.
Droog for life!!!!
HAIL MUSTAINE!!!!!!!

anyone with business in mind first would have plugged the hell out of endgame as being "a sequel to countdown to extinction" and tried to milk it for all it was worth. That record could have easily done as well as anything else hitting no. 1. But we will never know because quite frankly I haven't heard much publicity for the thing. I think most Megadeth fans either got it leaked or bought it by now. Endgame was great, I don't see why it's not tearing up the charts other than nobody knows about it. Great record though, Broderick is the man.

I for one have seen much more advertising for Endgame than I did for United Abominations, or Cryptic Writings, which was out for six months before I found out about it while going through the CD bins. The reason it's not taking off is simply that it's not that good. Sure it has fast solos, yada yada yada, what it doesn't have is melodies or memorable hooks, you know, those things that make up good songs (Sure a few songs are excluded there). That's why it's not getting airplay and is selling worse than a William Hung Christmas album. Instead of trying to redo a Rust in Peace, which has two good songs on it, he should have tried to recreate CTE or Youthanasia, which are loaded with em. And what does he expect when he writes something as cheesy as "Headcrusher". That's something a high schooler would write, not a man approaching 50.

Dave is a good guy, just very misunderstood half the time. Complete the quote next time, dont just take the half you wish to comment on. People with psychological disorders are very misunderstood, doesnt make them bad people. Dave has come a long way from the money grubbing droogie he use to be. I admire him for at least having the right mind to WANT to change that, so for when he tries, he should be encouraged to do so, not condemned for ungodly reasons just so you can feel good about yourself for blasting one of thrash/speed metal's greatest guitarists or all time. He deserves more respect than most people these days are willing to give if they themselves dont feel good about themselves.
In psychological disorders, you can be caught in the age where the event that changed you happened. Think about that.

I had a similar experience recently. While looking through dvds at a local walmart, I saw they had a section for Metallica and, within that I found "Megadeth - Wakin' Up The Dead". Thinking someone had placed it there, I searched for Megadeth amongst the labels, but...nothing.
I bought the Megadeth dvd - great stuff featuring a show shot in 2009. And I had to laugh at what is printed on the back of the case:
"We have to give credit to Metallica for firing Dave Mustaine. Driven by a strong desire for revenge, he founded Megadeth to be even faster and heavier than Metallica was".

This is EXACTLY what you got, and deserved!!! Let's picture the past 26 yrs....how about not "shit talking, and backstabbing" that old band of yours, and the same goes for your past bandmates. What exactly have you done these past few months??? (instead of simply 'promoting' a new album)......you've brought up your old band time and again for whatever selfish, insecure reasons; flame on past members (ellefson, friedman); and wished bodily harm to a female journalist; hypocritical statements....left and right. So NO WONDER your album tanked. Your selfish, ignorant big mouth finally did you in. Um, seems like alot of "rational, clear-headed people get that" and woke up to what kind of a person you are.....but not you Dave. So good luck with the rest of your career. I just don't think the guy up there is listening though. Life is what you make it, after all.

I can understand and relate to what Dave is going through. You know some of us have problems in expressing ourselfs. And many a times people don't understand what we are really saying, whereas the truth would be that our intentions are good but other people, even the ones close to us, family friends etc etc don't get it.
It's been one week that my girlfriend is annoyed with me cos I expressed to her that I didn't like the fact that she becomes facebook friends with strangers in different country expecially when this "facebook stranger" said to her that she looks pretty and then requests for her to be friends on facebook.
Problem was she accepted his friendship and in the end hurt me so we had a fight and then I told her that I don't even like the fact that she' very "playful" with some of our friends who are guys..
Straightaway she told me that I'M CONTROLLING HER!!!\
Now somebody correct me if I'm wrong?? all I did was to express my feelings that if she really loves me than why she gets all playful with these other guys. Even though she says she meant nothing to any of these guys but I still get hurt.
So how am I gonna agree with Dave!! well I TOO HAVE PUT MY FAITH IN GOD AND ASKING GOD TO SORT IT OUT FOR ME.
Megadeth has produced some of the good music to date and endgame kicks ass!!
So to agree with some of the other posts above... people! just listen to music and stop being mean to Dave...
It really sucks when the whole world inlcuding the people you love are against you....think about it!!! all we need is just a little love....

It must trip this dude out how that band he was in turned into the modern led zepplin. as much as i rip him saying move on easy for me to say. megadeth will be a foot note when us old folks 25-45 die in 30 to 60 years from now while metallica will be like the beatles stones zepplin ac~dc roth era U2 Pink Floyd............................Roth era van halen ac~dc the who sabbath the doors...bands fans that are multi generational that always bring in very young fans year after year.

'Endgame' is pretty damn badass. I don't care that most of the world likes the other "M" band more, or that people think Dave is an asshole. It's all about the music. I think many folks have forgotten about the music. Dave is super-talented, and for sure more talented than anyone who bitches about him on here. Stop typing for a minute and listen to the damn music. Oh yeah, Roadrunner Records really does suck. They have sucked for a long time now. Instead of signing and promoting the best heavy bands, they are looking to find "the next big thing" and to widen their profit margin. Dave and Megadeth don't need 'em. Cheers to all the Megadeth fans out there.

For lack of something better to do I actually read through quite a few of the above posts here. You know what? It looks really pathetic seeing people bitch and moan through the anonymous nature of their computers. Talking all tough and shit, acting like they are the authorities of the world. Its really all very fascist looking when you step back. And it reminds me of the days when I was a kid in the 80's and had a CB radio. Lots of people just talking shit to hear themselves talk shit. Except now, people actually spend time typing shit.
Things are always more complex in the real world and not always so simple. Lots of black and white, and LOTS of sheds of grey... I'm sure if we knew half of what is really going on behind it Megadeth, we would shit a brick. What matters in the end? Does the music hold up. Is so and so's album worth it? That's pretty much it. All the rest of this shit talking is a pretty big waste. If people spent half the time learning as they talk shit online, the worlds I.Q. would probably jump enough to actually mean something.
All this crap just makes some Metalheads look like rappers. Ready to kill each other at any moment. And I think were better than that. At least, we should be.

Dave how about you put out a great record which endgame is and then just shut up?as Joe Perry said let the mudic do the talking!no interviews were you talk shit about anybody or bring up a group that you have not been a part of in 25 years.I love how you don't say the name but still bring them up.look if people are not aware of who you are by now and what your band sounds like they never will be.so just put out a record without saying a word and there will be no quotes to cause controversy,then if the record company does not promote it will be clear and you would have a complaint.again I never hear the guys in that band you are always talking about refer to you in any way when they release a record so take a hint from them in that regard. in other words just shut up and play.

Why doesn't Dave realize that a band like Megadeth will NEVER be a mainstream act. He will NEVER have a number one single, let alone even a top 30 song at this point.

Is Mustaine back on drugs???? I agree totally in what Mustaine has said about Roadrunner having myself delt with them for 10yrs they are without a doubt the worst label to deal with, however END GAME was never going to sell mass amounts
not to mention that the day of singles are well and truly fucking OVER!!!
And whats god going to do about album sales, the guys a freak, he released his mainstream bile albums yrs ago which made him $$$$$ funny that METALLICA released their most mainstreams albums the same time Mustaine released his METALLICA go back to an earlier sound MUSTAINE does the same with MEGASHIT!!!

Mustaine: "It doesn't matter what song we choose as a single, we have no radio presence. Hell, my own hometown plays nothing from MEGADETH, but they sure do play my last band every hour.
EXACTLY!!! Have you forgotten, STAY OFF the radio it sucks!!!!!!!!!!

I feel pretty bad for Dave in this situation, because record companies will never learn.
Endgame is pretty fucking good thrash record, and its getting killed by RR for who knows why (personal problems with Dave, maybe?).

cry me a river dave! your new record isn't selling because you're a has-been who hasn't been able to write good songs or keep a stable lineup for the past decade or so. it's time to hang it up. i expect to see all your gear in ebay soon! chris broderick, your short career with megadeth might be over soon so start sending out your resume!

If you have issues and get upset because your girlfriend facebook friends some dude in another country that says she's pretty then you're an insecure little bitch. What's she going pack up and fly over to cheat on you? If that's the case then you're fucked with or without facebook. Actually telling your girlfriend who she can and cannot talk to is controlling. If you don't trust her than you have no business being in a relationship in the first place.
Fuck all the Dave haters Endgame rules.

lmao dave really doesn't help himself with this on-going battle...
everyday sounding more and more stupid.
I bought Endgame and it wasn't/isn't even that good.
some of the worst writing he's ever done for sure.
you think if he had a problem he'd deal with it privately instead of being a whiny little bitch, everyday.
sure is hillarious though.

Does Dave even need a record label anymore? He owns his own studio. You can put your own music on itunes, you fans will buy it, you get 100% to divide as you see fit, no need to pay back a label. just seems unnecessary for bands as big as Megadeth and bigger that already have an established fanbase. it's the new bands that need the promotions machine, they will get ripped off building thier name, then take over for themselves if they are lucky enough to get a fanbase.

"Hell, my own hometown plays nothing from MEGADETH, but they sure do play my last band every hour."
That's because your music annoys people and they would change the station. Your "last band" will always get airplay because they write better songs and sound better than you.
Life's a bitch huh Dave?

On the positive side of all of this:
I think all of this fucked up shit going down with Dave
is going to end up with a new album, not necessarily Megadeth, that will put everything around it to shame. He works best when things are the most fucked up.

endgame isn't that great compared to some of his past work. the guitars are phenomenal but I just don't think the songs are that great, and his vocals are getting kind of annoying.
too bad he can't just do music for his own enjoyment

I guess his new cd is so much better that the new dream theater 9also roadrunner) or the new Heaven and Hell. They all have similar chart history. He's should be grateful for the career he has had.Most artists would give their left nut for MD track record!!
Yes, the industy was, is and always will be unfair and bias. I am a die hard Sabbath fan. Hey Dave, do some research on what that band went through. To call it lack of support would be kind. Yet Bruce Springsteen will do back to back sold out stadium shows in my area. Partially because the media "force feeds" the public. It's not because theyr'e any better. Two words....."Gangster Rap". It sells millions. Bands lke Dream Theater sell in the low hundred K's......Roll that one around.

I don't know where you guys with your imaginary numbers (it should have sold 150k by now, ect.). Man the internet and cd burning has allready taken it's toll on album sales. If you're really popular and have a lot of airplay you will sell 100K. The fact that dave is doing it without airplay is pretty cool. I doubt Five finger death punch will be able to sell 75k of it's 11th studio album, we'll see...

... fucking laugh at all these people requesting that Dave, "shut up" and "stop saying all this shit". Get this knuckleheads: Dave didn't post any of this stuff on blabbermouth and you didn't have to click on the fucking link and read it. Most of these 'quotes' i reckon have been copy-pasted from his own forum. Why should he stop posting on his own forum? It's his forum, he can post on it whenever he likes.
On another note... did some idiot above me post that there are only two good songs on Rust in Peace?
You should die, my friend.

i understand that metallica is a bigger band but the fact and i do mean fact is that when death magnetic was comming out i heard the daily bantering on the radio about it
i have yet to hear any of my local radio stations dare to mention endgame
and megadeth is a famous enough band to be mentioned on air but the only publicity dave can get at all is by contraversy
can you blame him???
