DAVE MUSTAINE: 'I Don't Really Talk About My Time With METALLICA'

In an interview with Rock Antenne conducted at last month's Summer Breeze festival in Dinkelsbühl, Germany, MEGADETH frontman Dave Mustaine was asked if he ever gets sick of constantly having to answer questions about his former bandmates in METALLICA. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "Well, I don't really talk about my time with METALLICA. I don't bring it up. So if someone brings it up, I'll answer the question, but I usually don't bother doing that. 'Cause I think in a way that kind of gives the impression that I need to talk about them in order for me to feel good about myself. And I don't — I don't. I feel good about who I am just 'cause I feel good about who I am. It has nothing to do with bands that I've played in in the past. And if it was, I would say of the three bands that I was in that I enjoyed PANIC and MEGADETH more than I did in METALLICA because we did argue a lot."

Mustaine continued: "I loved playing with those guys, but it was meant for a season. And I look back on that time with a lot of fondness. I used to not, because I was still hurt from losing my job, but now I know, basically, that things happen for a reason, no matter what they are, and whether I was still in that group or not, that was outta my hands. And once I accept those things… Acceptance is the key to all of my problems today. If there's something happening in my life and I can't change it, and I spend my time wasting energy and effort to try and change something I cannot change, man, you're gonna go nuts. So I've chosen to find the happier things in life."

This past June, Mustaine brought up his time with METALLICA when he was asked by Liz Barnes of Planet Rock's "My Planet Rocks" about the 40th anniversary of MEGADETH. He said: "I think [we lasted this long by] just trying to be the best that [we] can be. And we've had adversity against us since the beginning because of METALLICA. The funny thing about is that we're friends now. But what happened happened, and it's in public belief that there's some kind of beef between us, and there really isn't.

"As much as back in the day we talked about it from a negative point of view, I prefer to talk about it from a positive place now, a place of forgiveness and of healing," he continued. "Those guys went through a lot of stuff themselves, and I did too. It's very well documented about all this, and getting professional help. So that's something I think is really wonderful. You've got two of the biggest bands in metal that started from the same place, had their growing pains, came to the realization that it was just a bunch of hard feelings and a bunch of hurt people. And hurt people hurt people. And now I wish them the very, very best. And now it's all about just coming from a place of happiness. And I think if you have that kind of attitude, you can't help but succeed."

Also in June, Mustaine, who was a member of METALLICA for less than two years, from 1981 to 1983, before being dismissed and replaced by Kirk Hammett, was asked by Guitar World magazine if he has heard METALLICA's latest album, "72 Seasons". He responded: "No, I have not heard METALLICA's latest record. But there was a time around 20 years ago when we were not being friendly toward each other when I couldn't listen to their music when it came on the radio. But none of that bothers me anymore, and it's not why I haven't heard the record, especially after the Big Four thing that we did. I really think we should do that again."

Asked if he feels the recent flak that Kirk has taken for his solos is fair, Mustaine replied: "It depends on which solos you're talking about. [Laughs] Jokes aside, I've always kind of poked fun at Kirk. And unfairly so, as he never did anything to me. Whenever I felt singled out, picked on, or antagonized by James [Hetfield] or Lars [Ulrich], it was really easy to pick on Kirk. But the truth is Kirk did me an honor by trying to play my solos on those early songs the way he did… Well, I think that some people would have just started over again. So, I thought it was honorable that Kirk took my solos and did his best to play them as I did. That couldn't have been easy. But as far as his new solos on the new METALLICA album, I haven't heard them, so I can't comment. But I will say that I think it's sad how quickly some people can turn on people.

"There was a time when Kirk won every guitar contest in the world, and I don't think he's gotten any better or worse as a player. He's always been really good. Kirk was a good player when he was in EXODUS. And he's been steady the entire time he's been in METALLICA. But does that mean Kirk Hammett is Dave Mustaine? No. And is Dave Mustaine Kirk Hammett? Also, no."

In August 2022, Mustaine reflected on his 1983 dismissal from METALLICA and the formation of MEGADETH in an interview with podcaster Joe Rogan of "The Joe Rogan Experience". When asked if went "right into" MEGADETH after his exit from METALLICA or if it took him some time to plot his next move, Dave said: "I think in my mind I went right into MEGADETH, but at the time I was still kind of trying to digest everything that took place.

"The thing that bothered me the most was I had all my music, and I left it behind and I said, 'Don't use my music.' And of course they did. They used it on the first record [1983's 'Kill 'Em All'], on the second record [1984's 'Ride The Lightning']. There's parts of my music on a song on the third record [1986's 'Master Of Puppets']. All the solos on the first record are mine, except that they're just performed by Kirk. And [they're] close but not the same. And he's not a bad guitar player."

When asked if he got royalties for that, Mustaine said: "Well, most of 'em, yeah, but Kirk got my royalties for [the song] 'Metal Militia' [from 'Kill 'Em All'] for many, many years. And he has to see the check, so I know somebody saw that I wasn't getting paid.

After Rogan noted that Mustaine feels both "sadness and bitterness" over his departure from METALLICA, Dave said: "Not bitterness — I'm over it. It's just money. At the end of the day, my happiness and my family and my wife and my children are more important to me than anything in this world. I love our fans. I have so many things in this life that I'm happy about. But, man, it's my family. And obviously my relationship with God. I take that very, very personal. And I don't talk to people about it; I don't push it on 'em at all. It's my thing. And I just look at it like where I'm at right now… Yeah, [I was] 20 [years old] in METALLICA, and now, look at me, I'm 60 [years old] in MEGADETH. And I'm a Grammy winner. I'm a New York Times best-selling author — all these things."

In a 2009 interview with Norway's Lydverket, Mustaine said that he was "so hurt" by getting kicked out of METALLICA for allegedly drinking too much. "I said, 'What?! No second chance, no warning? C'mon, we all drink. C'mon.'" he recalled. "And [they were like], 'No, that's it. You're gone.' And I was like, 'All right.'"

Mustaine also went on to claim that an altercation with METALLICA frontman James Hetfield led to his being fired from the band.

"I was selling pot," Dave said. "When I would go play in concert, people knew that my pot was sitting in my apartment just saying, 'Go ahead and keep me company.' So I was broken in on. People stole everything that I had; all my stash. And I figured, screw this. I'm gonna get some dogs to stay in the apartment when I leave. So I got two dogs and I took one of them up to a rehearsal one time and she put her paws up on Ron's [McGovney, METALLICA's then-bassist] car. And James kicked it right in the side. And I was like, 'What did you do?' [And I was like] 'It's a dog, it's what they do. You don't kick animals.' So we went into the house, and we started arguing some more. And I ended up punching him in the face and I think that was the root of why I lost my job."

In a 2009 interview with the Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas radio station 97.1 The Eagle Rocks, Hetfield said that it was "so odd" to hear Mustaine still talking about his exit from METALLICA. "It is very Dave, and that's him," James said. "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."

Back in 2016, Hammett told the "Word Of Wheeler" podcast that he understood Dave's continued resentment toward his former bandmates over the way he was dismissed from the group. "I've always seen Dave as someone who was just really, really sad, really angry, really frustrated about his situation with METALLICA, and he never could let that go," he said. "And, you know, I've always shown a lot of empathy for him, understanding that he was just pissed off. It's the equivalent of the woman of your life leaving you. I mean, really. When your band kicks you out… I've never been kicked out, but I can imagine it's a horrible experience, especially if it's a band that you feel really passionately about. So I can understand Dave's plight over all these years. But I will also say that when we did these 30th-anniversary shows at the Fillmore [in San Francisco], and we invited Dave to play on all those 'Kill 'Em All' songs, man, it felt so good to have him playing on stage. It felt perfectly fine for me to, while Dave was playing the guitar solos, for me to go over to James and play the rhythm parts with James, and it wasn't a big deal at all. And I could see from the look on Dave's face and just from his whole attitude that it was super-cathartic for him. And I could see how it was helping him. And so I just took it all in stride. And it's interesting, because since then, I think, Dave's relationship with us is a little bit better now. I'd like to think that that whole thing just kind of healed some scars that needed to be healed."

After Hammett's comments about Mustaine were reported by BLABBERMOUTH.NET and other music sites, Dave took to his Twitter to respond. He wrote: "I have tremendous respect for @KirkHammett and I appreciate his take on this. he is almost 100% accurate...almost. I wish him the best."

In a September 2011 interview with Artisan News, Mustaine appeared to concur that his onstage reunion with METALLICA went a long way toward healing the wounds from the way his tenure in the band ended. Dave said: "When we [played a cover of DIAMOND HEAD's] 'Helpless' [as part of a 'Big Four' jam] one night, I walked over to say hello to Kirk on the stage and he said, 'Do you wanna take the solo?" and I said, 'Yeah.' [Laughs] But we forgot to tell anybody on the stage or [running] the sound out front that I was gonna do the solo, so the song's playing along and Kirk's playing rhythm full blast, and I'm sitting there going you can't hear what I'm doing. At least we knew what had happened. It was kind of a symbolic passing of the torch back to me and it was a nice gesture. I think that that helped Kirk and my relationship improve a bit."

In a September 2004 interview, Mustaine famously stated, "I really don't care about Kirk — he stole my job, but at least I got to bang his girlfriend before he took my job. How do I taste, Kirk?"

Mustaine did not play on any METALLICA albums and did not attend their induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2009.

METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich later explained to The Plain Dealer that Mustaine was not included because "you've got to kind of cap it somewhere. Dave Mustaine never played on any METALLICA records. No disrespect to him. But there [were] half a dozen other people that were in the lineup in the early days. We thought . . . the fair thing to do would be to include anybody that played on a METALLICA record." He added: "Dave Mustaine was in the band for 11 months, predominantly in 1982... I'm not trying to play it down. I have nothing but respect and admiration for his accomplishments since."

Fo0x, хорош)

Fo0x, что именно стабильно, дурилка картонная? Его спросили про Метлу - он ответил. Сходи что-ли на гитаре поучись играть. Мастейном вторым не станешь, но дворового алкаша, может, удивишь.

- Дейв, давно интересен один момент...
- НИ СЛОВА О МЕТАЛЛИКЕ!!
- в твоей песне на альбоме....
- Я НЕ ОБСУЖДАЮ МЕТАЛИКУ, ПОНЯТНО?
- мегадет стал...
- МЕТАЛИКА МНЕ НЕ ИНТЕРЕСНА!11

А если серьезно - раз ему до сих пор жжет от разговоров про металику, значит травма жопы еще не зажила.

WahrandPhain, ну тут патовая ситуация. Скажешь что не хочешь отвечать на вопрос про Метлу, скажут что жопа горит, ответишь - скажут что постоянно только Метлу и обсуждает)

DasMan

ElectricRetard, ну если весь спектр реакций ограничивается двумя вариантами: отказаться от комментариев и пуститься в пространные эмоционально нагруженные объяснения, - то и ежу понятно, что у человека бомбит.

Можно же ответить коротко и сдержано. Но я не видел у Мастейна таких ответов, потому что он, по всей видимости, на них не способен. Как только начинает говорить - его начинает нести.

Так то человек - лидер одной из самых успешных метал-групп. Не какой нибудь Даунинг, у которого группа - вторичное говно. Не странно ли, что у журналистов других тем не находится для разговора? Тут не Мастейн отвечает потому что спрашивают, а спрашивают из-за того как он каждый раз отвечает.

WahrandPhain, ты опять таблетки забыл принять? Ему задали вопрос про Метлу - он ответил. Слышишь, кастрюля? Не он сам поднял тему, а его спросили. Я сам ни разу не фанат Мегадэт, люблю Метлу, но высеры хейтеров Мастейна весьма забавно читать. Ж*па здесь подгорает именно у тебя. От Дэйва Мастейна.

Nicolas444883, вопрос из интервью выше, прямым текстом:

!!! "НЕ НАДОЕДАЕТ ЛИ ВАМ ПОСТОЯННО ОТВЕЧАТЬ НА ВОПРОСЫ О СВОИХ БЫВШИХ КОЛЛЕГАХ ПО ГРУППЕ METALLICA?" !!!

Мастейн здорового человека: "Да. Уже надоело. Я дал исчерпывающие ответы в своих прошлых интервью. Давайте перейдём к следующим вопросам".

Мастейн курильщика: "Я не распространяюсь, я не поднимаю вопрос. Я бы ответил, если бы спросили. Меня не спросили - поэтому я не буду отвечать. И всё-таки, хоть вы и не спрашивали, я немного отвечу. Создаётся впечатление, что у меня до сих пор подгорает. Но у меня не подгорает! Мне хорошо, потому что я стал тем, кем я есть. Но это вовсе не из-за Металлики! Другие группы мне нравятся больше Металлики! Судьба свела нас ненадолго... Но мне нравилось с ними... Я вспоминаю их с любовью. Раньше вспоминал, потому-что у меня подгорало. И сейчас вспоминаю, но не из-за того, что подгорает. У меня не подгорает! А вот если бы я задержался... Впрочем, я принял это. Принятие - это ключ. Да. Принятие. На принятие уходит много сил, но гораздо меньше, чем на ответы о бывших по группе Металлика! Помните, да? Был такой эпизод в моей жизни... Но у меня не подгорает и я об этом не вспоминаю... Совсем нет ..."
