Dave has been to hell and back a dozen times. He is the man. I worked for Dave/Megadeth from 1984 to 1987. We got along well. Don`t be fooled about the haters. They do NOT know Dave.He is intense, funny, very smart, goofy, geeky, well read and a good friend.
@@88najsf-rs2rm He was funny as hell. The last time we spoke was when he had just moved to Scotsdale Az. I could tell the minute he picked up the phone that he was drinkin again. Prob. freebasing as well. IU wanted to get off the phone after 15 minutes of him talking a mile a minute, and it just made my gut sour.
That's the power of having amazing guitar riffs back in that day. It's alot harder now since pretty much everything has been done but you can still bite the bullet and give your own take on a classic riff, you will always get the people with no music theory knowledge that try to accuse you of "stealing".. Like no dude, that's how scales and keys work. It only sounds good to most people when you're in key or in scale
@@jameslonano5659 YES I'm glad you mentioned that Talent speaks for itself. He made it alone when the others were just down right codependent. I'm sorry but it just speaks for itself
Agreed. As much as I loved Metallica growing up they are not as consistent and haven’t hit the highs of their early work where as megadeth still releases awesome music
As a teenage kid in 1992 I heard Symphony of Destruction playing on TV for the first time. I've been a metal head ever since. He literally formed my musical taste for over 30 years.
I feel you, mine was master of puppets by Metallica. Right after hurricane katrina living in a RV. I was 13 and played the album and couldn’t believe how amazing it was. It changed me entirely and my mom walked in and just smiled when I said Metallica is awesome.
What a fantastic song. I was 7 years old, my neighbor was a junior in high school. GIANT metalhead, and I thought he was the coolest dude in the world. I have been a Metallica and Megadeth fan ever since he's been blasting the two bands out of his stereo system. You da man, John! 🤘
I remember 1990 in Hollywood... I was staying at a hotel across the venue that hosted "Clash of the Titans," which was Slayer, Megadeath, Anthrax and Testament.... I could hear the bands from my hotel room. I can remember asking my mom if I could go..... and getting the biggest "HELL NO YOUNG MAN!!" I was just about 13 years old.... Most men say their first heartbreak was from their first Love..... that concert was my first heartbreak... I wanted to go so bad, but mom said no.... that was the year Rust in Peace was released... I wanted that to be my first metal experience!! 1992 rolls in, I saw Metallica on tour for the Black Album, played the Neal Blasdel arena in Honolulu, and my concert cherry was broken. I was an official metal head! I still wanted to see Megadeth first though
@@chyosukeful Seeing Metallica from that Era would have been the best experience one could ever have. You're very lucky to have been able to go see that. My dad keeps his ticket from the "Snake Pit" 1990 Metallica concert on top of his dresser still to this day. So I could only imagine how amazing it was.
Not too strange. My Mom paid Randy Rhoades 50 dollars in 1980 to give me a 30 minute lesson at Peaches in Cleveland Ohio. That was booked. I am sure musicians will give lessons for cash money.
Most Metal Heads here in Australia consider Dave Mustaine to be a LIVING LEGEND. He has stayed true to his art, and the music industry, even though he has been treated poorly by many since his era. He is still producing some of the best music around in Metal...and gives back to all the young musicians , to keep the flame going. MUCH RESPECT!! :)
Metallica in Aus is huge, Megadeth not so much so it's a niche following. And I've never known fans celebrate their own dik riding like Megadeth fans, it's truly unique.
That was an amazing album. Definitely in my top 5. But in recent years Dave has become a joke. They sound like a Megadeth tribute band....and not a great one.
Yes there would be. Metallica was formed before Dave joined. Their first lead guitarist was Lloyd Grant; along with Ron McGovney on bass, before Cliff.
@@Lord_Raptor They wouldn't have made it where they are today without Dave laying the groundwork. They stole his riffs and used them for years in their songs up until master of puppets.
Dave is one of those immortal tales of a man who went through absolute hell many times over, and came out on the other side to be a pretty solid dude. Keep in mind, in his youth, this dude was too extreme for a young Metallica. That's proof that even if you walk to the beat of a completely different drum, and people don't see your suffering, you can still fight to be an extremely productive, and influencial person without having to bottle up all of the trauma. Dave always faced his issues head on. Get kicked out of the biggest band in history, oh well, I'll just form another band and start from scratch. As much as his firing from Metallica hurt Dave, in retrospect, it drove him to be something special. Metallica is a band, Megadeth was Dave Mustain. Gotta give Dave Ellefson a shout out too. He was the other side of that two headed coin.
Some souls take many lifetimes to wake up to their fullest potential. I think Dave Mustaine is a super genius of music. I remember working at the Agora and being in his presence then in the 90's a feeling good vibe was what he reverbed.. His band belongs in the Rock Hall. I remember working that particular show at the Agora and when the IDIOT security opened the doors this one kid came barreling down the aisle and jumped onto the main floor and us stagehands watched this kid break his leg, oh man, that memory still shakes me. When people are let in there should be orderly movement and from then on Hank LoConti Jr. for the years I worked for him was adamant about no one running them damn aisles just to get up next to the stage. That was 1997 I am fairly certain and Megadeth played a sell out show that was EPIC. Cleveland loves Megadeth.
Dave Mustaine has been a part of my life since 85, I'm so glad he is doing so well. Thanks Dave for being such a great part of my best memories , You made my life better....
I remember driving an hour away to get a bouncy castle rental for my daughters 2nd birthday while listening to this interview. That was almost 2 years ago haha. Love dave. Seen megadeth 10 times! Used to play guitar in a megadeth cover band. Megadeth will always have a place in my heart!
Dave was always a serious guy when I was a stagehand we were told beforehand not to engage in any way and when he was around I felt good vibes. Even without too much conversation, being in that moment back then, the feeling now was that i was in around an Archangel like Metatron who Dave does kind of look like to me at least.
Dave is so amazing. I am a guitar player and playing Dave´s riffs still is a very complicated thing. He is the best! He is the real thing better than Metallica
I remember when both bands were competing for years. Peace Sells, and Puppets, Rust in Peace, and Justice being released around the same time between the bands. Great era. That was the Metal era, and Extreme Metal was evolving as well.
@@nicolausteslaus I can play it and have been playing for 15 years, you are just not being realistic if you are calling a song like Last Rites Loved to Death or Black Friday easy, drop the ego
Took my son to his first Megadeath Concert at bridge stone arena, They rocked as always and got one of our bucket lists checked! Dave please get your wines and beer in Chattanooga,Tennessee stores and buisnesses please!
Ohhh. I remember bying "Killing is my Business..." on vinyl back in the day, when "The Skull Beneath the Skin" hit my speakers.....holy crap. Don't listen to trash much these days, but the four first platters from Megadeth are staples I listen to even up to this day. Mr. Mustaine is a legend. (and only 8 years older than me)
Peace sells was the first metal album i ever heard when i was 12 years old. I became hooked on metal and megadeth and now im 43 and still a hard core metalhead. Dave mustain is a hall of famer and a metal god. When I die I'll go out to tout le mond. Thank you so much dave for the greatest metal ever in my book. Love megadeth.
This Was Amazing. Dave is a Hero of Mine. I'm a Drummer and Dave's respect for Gar Samuelson as I've heard Really Makes Him a Kind Soul. I Saw them in Pittsburgh PA at a club called City Limits where a friend and I won tickets on a radio show - Circa late 1980's where we were roadies for the day and I got to meet Gar and He was Really Nice and He Kicked ASS. I Love all the MD Drummers but He had something in His background called Swing. This is probably why Mustaine and Ellefson Loved Him BC Swing Drummers Make Everything Better. We partied and had a Great Time. Thank You Mr. Mustaine and Band at the Time. I Loved Nick Menza and Chuck as well. Dave Always get's the Best. And He IS The Best. Dave Is Real.
I feel blessed I got to see megadeth a couple years ago on tour with lamb of god. Dave is such a cool guy and is soooo underrated. Badass that Joe had him on the show 🤘🤘
Having mustaine on the podcast shows rogans a metal fan. Mustaine is thrash metal royalty, songs like holy wars, the man can write a riff thats for sure
Yes. They do their podcasts on Spotify and then they trickle in clips on RUclips and then depending on the popularity of that podcast anywhere from 6 months to a year they'll put the podcast out on RUclips
@@mobeus84it's also contract based. Jre only leases his content with a time limit. When the time is up he's free to use other avenues. In other words he doesn't sell the content he rents it out. Smart.
I remember seeing this full interview here on YT back in 2022 I believe. So, it's already been uploaded before. Don't know the reason behind them reuploading this now. Maybe it got a copyright strike, but then again... what for? :P
Nothing wrong with being self-taught on the guitar. I'm self taught going on 37 years. Got a chord book and played my albums over and over until I understood.
That's what a lot of ppl do, than his haters say he's always crying about Metallica. There was a while where Metallica never came up in conversation and interviews, but for the past 20 years, ppl can't wait to bring it up. They bring it up, not Dave. I don't ever recall a time where nobody asked about Metallica, and Dave was just like "......so let's talk about Metallica, you know I was in that band right?" I'm 99% sure that's the absolute truth
What is trying to do is relate, Mustaine, to everybody else because nobody really knows who Dave mustaine is until they relate him to metallica, who more people know about. He is just trying to integrate him into his audience. People who don't know him, aren't sick of the Metallica-Mustaine correlation like we are
He asked him what it was like looking back on his crazy career. Before he mentioned Metallica, he mentioned Megadeth. And when you're recapping someone's storied career, being a former member of Metallica is def a noteworthy mention.
Omg all I want to be brother Joe Rogan so one day I can grow up and interview my ultimate legend hero. Dave mustaine!!!! Changed my life bro. I'm addicted. Love you pimpin!!! Keep kickin ass... Wow!!! Inspired!!!
59:40 i have heard Dave talk about this magic thing before, and it is always with such deep regret and remains very guarded about it. He fully believes in black magic because of something that happened, and i think he believes he is responsible for Cliff's death. Kirk took his job, and some of the footage of Metallica just after Dave was fired shows how ruthless the rest of the band were when talking about Dave. Living it up while he was in despair. And its no secret that Dave hated Kirk for replacing him. And if you remember, Kirk and Cliff drew straws for the better bunk. Cliff ended up where Kirk was meant to sleep, which was ultimately a death sentence. I don't believe in black magic myself, if it worked everyone would be at it! But Dave was quite into it apparently, and ive always wondered if he tried to put some kind of hex on Kirk. Then, when the story came out about Cliff's death, how it happened and how Kirk narrowly missed the same fate, Dave REALLY believed it was too much of a coincidence and blamed himself ever since. I hope not because that would be a terrible guilt to mistakenly carry.
Dave has matured so much and is so much more eloquent than the 80’s when I first remember listening to him. I am glad he has developed a relationship with Christ and would love to hear his perspective. He mentioned Alice Cooper. Please Dave do it!. That’s not pushing. It is telling your story. On another note, I saw Dave on thr Experience tour and I actually commented on his social media that he had the most authentic Hendrix tone which the Dweezil Zappa and Eric Johnson tubing session tripped me out to hear about. Dave was definitely a fish out of water on that tour but I thought his tone was perfect and he did thr most authentic covers. so major respect. The other guitarists were putting their own spin on the music. Which is fine but that is ther genre. Dave did a perfect cover.
My first concert was Megadeth. I think I was 14 years old. It was in Offenbach am Main in Germany. I love Dave Mustaine. You have to love him. YOU MUST, AINE'T YOU?
He got scammed by Metallica. Kicked him out simply for doing what they all did but better than them. Was the most ambitious and they didn’t want him as front man which he naturally was. Stole his music, just the fact he alone started megadeth and got them huge shows how much talent he has.
They kicked him out for being a violent drunk. He would physically assault them and other people all the time, cuz he couldn't control his temper when drinking. This is well documented.
@@Lord_Raptor I just heard Daves side of it all and it seems like he got short sticked. Regardless they made MOP after that which was amazing and Dave made an awesome band himself so it all worked out well.
Dave's the man. A truly talented musician who's been there done that. Rust in Peace is one of the best metal albums ever and one of my personal faves. Good to see he's still ticking.
Joe really carries the convo about the martial arts. The movie Lucy, Joe mentioned is probably the only movie in this entire convo that didn't occur in the 80s. Listening to Joe in this interview, he sounds like an entrrtainment lawyer
Dave Mustaine is one of the greatest ,if not THE greatest, guitarist/vocalists in metal music. Megadeth has touched on political and religious subjects in ways that bring the truth to light- and have been in the forefront of thrash metal from the very beginning. Thank God that Metallica let him go, anyway. GREAT INTERVIEW ! Deserves a lot more listens , Dave is a very interesting man, for sure.
Look at him now, 20 in Metallica, 60 in Megadeth and Megadeth now is producing better metal than Metallica by far. He still does it for the love of the music not the love of the money like Metallica now. DON'T get me wrong I still love Metallica, but Megadeth I listen to daily, Metallica I don't.
In no way is Megadeth better, theres a reason why one is waaay more popular than the other. Dont get me wrong, i love megadeth, but you cant compare them.
@@Cazz8203plz prove Dave isn’t a better guitar player with harder metal hits that he intended to do the name is called Metallica yet there not as metal? 😌waaaa
Dave is Amazing. I've liked him since he started. He's been through so much n he's gotten better in music n life each year. Congratulations n Thanks. Us Metal Heads are Thankful.
Aside from insane raw talent, Dave is truly smart and wise. A metal god of the likes of all the Greats we all love and know. Always anticipating the next epic Megadeath release!
Dave is Metal Legendary , he is definitely in my top 3 guitarist of my all time of listening to Music/Rock/Metal thank you Joe Rogan for having Dave on your show he such an inspiration in life not just music 🤘💀🤘
I went to a Megadeth concert at the Agora Amphitheatre in Cleveland when I was 21 with my cousin and girlfriend. The Misfits opened up for them. It was the Cryptic Writings tour. I remember Dave Mustane saying hail to the devil and got booed by the audience.
That's odd, because Dave got saved about 5 years before that. We are about the same age and I've been a Megadeth fan for most of it. After the release of "Peace Sells.... But Who's Buying" he even stopped playing " The Conjuring" live.
And black magic spells hexs curses and the reason he was saved would blow your mind it has to do with death that's all I will say love long and prosper DM
seen Megadeth in Belfast waaaaaay back & Dave apologised to all present about his comments on the Troubles & sectarian violence in Northern Ireland. i have a great respect for artists who own their mistakes & apologise publicly. they then went on to play Anarchy in the UK & we lost it.. amazing gig. even tho i moved away from metal & became a techno dj/producer, i will always have a lil place for Mega. and my Dad HATED their music 😆😆 great chat
Wow. What an amazing picture of humanity. The journey, where he is now, where he's yet to go... I can't help but be a fan of MegaDave! Saw them in Cincinnati in'99, maybe '00, its a core memory for me. Megadeth, Motley Crue, and Anthrax who bailed, still a top 5 concert for me.
Mad respect to Dave for referencing Benny and his other teachers as Sensei. Shows humility and good character. Just like GSP carrying Jean Charles Sharbowski's bag on TUF.
Wow! Around 43:30 I noticed Joe's hoodie has "Kill Cliff" right after Dave saw the old picture of Metallica and mentioned how seeing it brings him a bit of sadness because of what happened to Cliff. I wonder if Dave noticed what was on Joe's hoodie.
The first time I heard Megadeth I was sitting in an empty dumpster with 3 friends skipping study hall...One of them had a Peace Sells and a cassette player... My favorite ever since.
Jehovah's witness, LOL I remember reading about Dave being one years ago. in 1987. Back in 1980 when we Moved from New jersey to Vermont. we stayed the first Month with my Aunt & uncle, cousins. I remember saying to my Aunt Judy, Oh Great Easter is in 4 Days! : ) she said to me we Don't celebrate Easter. Me - how come? My Aunt - Because we are Jehovah's Witnesses, I was like what is a Jehova's witness? I found out the Quick. Right there i was like NO way would i ever become that. No Christmas? NO fkn Way. im 53 & Agnostic & to this day Christmas is my Favorite Holiday.
Joe after reading on and on that Coca Cola web page, "they use it to make people numb", Dave - "So does boring people" LOL! Totally went over Joes head. Dave actually threw in quite a few of those under the radar quips. Gotta love that guy. Never change Dave
Joe is usually a very good interviewer, he asks good questions, when I heard about this interview I was eager to hear it all, my feeling is that Joe did not do his homework this time and wasted a promising interview
I went to Megadeth concert recently only because their drummer plays in The Project Hate MCMXCIX which is my favorite band. Megadeth was better than I expected, great show, not as good as Slayer, but still really good.
I was waiting for Mustaine to reply to Rogan's "thanks for coming on the show" with his own "thanks for having me"!,!??!! I thought it sounded quite arrogant to say "you're welcome" when in essence it was a great opportunity for them both! However, I love Mustaine and Megadeth regardless of any lack of manners hahaha!
The great thing about Dave is that he made it twice. And did it on raw talent, drive, and sheer will power.
Dave has been to hell and back a dozen times. He is the man. I worked for Dave/Megadeth from 1984 to 1987. We got along well. Don`t be fooled about the haters. They do NOT know Dave.He is intense, funny, very smart, goofy, geeky, well read and a good friend.

Dave mustain is a hall of famer and a metal god. When I die I'll go out to tout le mond. Thank you so much dave for the greatest metal ever in my book. Love megadeth.
Washington is next was such a prophetic song!
This Was Amazing. Dave is a Hero of Mine. I'm a Drummer and Dave's respect for Gar Samuelson as I've heard Really Makes Him a Kind Soul. I Saw them in Pittsburgh PA at a club called City Limits where a friend and I won tickets on a radio show - Circa late 1980's where we were roadies for the day and I got to meet Gar and He was Really Nice and He Kicked ASS. I Love all the MD Drummers but He had something in His background called Swing. This is probably why Mustaine and Ellefson Loved Him BC Swing Drummers Make Everything Better. We partied and had a Great Time. Thank You Mr. Mustaine and Band at the Time. I Loved Nick Menza and Chuck as well. Dave Always get's the Best. And He IS The Best. Dave Is Real.
waiting for the day to see phil anselmo on the podcast
That would be sick. Im also waiting for Glenn Danzig.
@@nicoquattro3950 i feel like therr would be a lot of very interesting boxing talk with phil
@@nicoquattro3950 I cannot see Glen talking to Joe for 3 hrs lol.
Phil is kinda dumb. Probably a 15 minute interview
I feel like Phil is too obscure for Joe. I was surprised to see Mustaine.
....Dimebag on JRE would have been iconic!
It's interesting hearing about Dave's early life - it sounds like it has had an influence on him ever since.
He has written a very good book on his life from like his teen to early 2000s. Worth reading.
Whose early life doesn’t have an influence on them?
I feel blessed I got to see megadeth a couple years ago on tour with lamb of god. Dave is such a cool guy and is soooo underrated. Badass that Joe had him on the show 🤘🤘
Having mustaine on the podcast shows rogans a metal fan. Mustaine is thrash metal royalty, songs like holy wars, the man can write a riff thats for sure
wasnt this episode from last year or two years ago?
Yes. They do their podcasts on Spotify and then they trickle in clips on RUclips and then depending on the popularity of that podcast anywhere from 6 months to a year they'll put the podcast out on RUclips
Read the ep number before asking man.... It's just a projectionist question.
Does it matter
@@mobeus84it's also contract based. Jre only leases his content with a time limit. When the time is up he's free to use other avenues. In other words he doesn't sell the content he rents it out. Smart.
I remember seeing this full interview here on YT back in 2022 I believe. So, it's already been uploaded before. Don't know the reason behind them reuploading this now. Maybe it got a copyright strike, but then again... what for? :P
Dave has never missed a show. That's Respect man😎🙂💯
Nothing wrong with being self-taught on the guitar. I'm self taught going on 37 years. Got a chord book and played my albums over and over until I understood.
I hate how the first question he asks was about metallica
That's what a lot of ppl do, than his haters say he's always crying about Metallica. There was a while where Metallica never came up in conversation and interviews, but for the past 20 years, ppl can't wait to bring it up. They bring it up, not Dave. I don't ever recall a time where nobody asked about Metallica, and Dave was just like "......so let's talk about Metallica, you know I was in that band right?" I'm 99% sure that's the absolute truth
💯 @@NintenDub
What is trying to do is relate, Mustaine, to everybody else because nobody really knows who Dave mustaine is until they relate him to metallica, who more people know about. He is just trying to integrate him into his audience. People who don't know him, aren't sick of the Metallica-Mustaine correlation like we are
No it wasn't
He asked him what it was like looking back on his crazy career. Before he mentioned Metallica, he mentioned Megadeth. And when you're recapping someone's storied career, being a former member of Metallica is def a noteworthy mention.
Can't count how many times I've seen Megadeth. Love Dave.
God bless all the rattleheads! Jesus saves sinners
You can tell Dave is a massive movie buff
Omg all I want to be brother Joe Rogan so one day I can grow up and interview my ultimate legend hero. Dave mustaine!!!! Changed my life bro. I'm addicted. Love you pimpin!!! Keep kickin ass... Wow!!! Inspired!!!
The goat of thrash
59:40 i have heard Dave talk about this magic thing before, and it is always with such deep regret and remains very guarded about it. He fully believes in black magic because of something that happened, and i think he believes he is responsible for Cliff's death. Kirk took his job, and some of the footage of Metallica just after Dave was fired shows how ruthless the rest of the band were when talking about Dave. Living it up while he was in despair. And its no secret that Dave hated Kirk for replacing him. And if you remember, Kirk and Cliff drew straws for the better bunk. Cliff ended up where Kirk was meant to sleep, which was ultimately a death sentence. I don't believe in black magic myself, if it worked everyone would be at it! But Dave was quite into it apparently, and ive always wondered if he tried to put some kind of hex on Kirk. Then, when the story came out about Cliff's death, how it happened and how Kirk narrowly missed the same fate, Dave REALLY believed it was too much of a coincidence and blamed himself ever since. I hope not because that would be a terrible guilt to mistakenly carry.
Dave has matured so much and is so much more eloquent than the 80’s when I first remember listening to him. I am glad he has developed a relationship with Christ and would love to hear his perspective. He mentioned Alice Cooper. Please Dave do it!. That’s not pushing. It is telling your story.
On another note, I saw Dave on thr Experience tour and I actually commented on his social media that he had the most authentic Hendrix tone which the Dweezil Zappa and Eric Johnson tubing session tripped me out to hear about. Dave was definitely a fish out of water on that tour but I thought his tone was perfect and he did thr most authentic covers. so major respect. The other guitarists were putting their own spin on the music. Which is fine but that is ther genre. Dave did a perfect cover.
Ive been hoping to see this whole interview at some point
Same. Ive been waiting on this interview to drop for months
43:10 love it, LOVE-IT, best part of the interview... he looks relaxed, funny, comfortable, clean, transparent, sober... very good, damn it!
My first concert was Megadeth.
I think I was 14 years old.
It was in Offenbach am Main in Germany.
I love Dave Mustaine.
You have to love him. YOU MUST, AINE'T YOU?
I've always loved you
Dave is my guitar hero! He inspires determination and creativity in all Megadeth fans, 🤘🤘
yes!!! YES! he is inspiring as a business person for me too
@@leonshreds Yo we both got Vic Rattlehead on our profile pictures!
Big love to you Dave from Finland, Turku! Got the new Megadeth, thanks for making it.
Mikä viddu teitä Turkulaisia oikein vaivaa? Jk.
He got scammed by Metallica. Kicked him out simply for doing what they all did but better than them. Was the most ambitious and they didn’t want him as front man which he naturally was. Stole his music, just the fact he alone started megadeth and got them huge shows how much talent he has.
dave is a gemius
They kicked him out for being a violent drunk. He would physically assault them and other people all the time, cuz he couldn't control his temper when drinking. This is well documented.
@@Lord_Raptor I just heard Daves side of it all and it seems like he got short sticked. Regardless they made MOP after that which was amazing and Dave made an awesome band himself so it all worked out well.
'It's about family' Right on Dave!
A LEGEND
LIKE HIM OR NOT.
my favourite dave albums are kill em all
So far so good...
And
Countdown...
Stars Wars didn’t have
Klingons , that’s Star Trek!! 😅😅😅
how dare Dave Mustaine not be a nerd.
Joe: “How did get to kur”
Dave: “just talking”
What a chill dude
Imagine if joe got Buckethead on JRE;
hahaha
He would never do it. Buckethead that is. There is one tiny podcast interview with him on RUclips though.
Imagine if George Floyd on JRE
Hell yes! I've always wanted to watch this full episode. Learning to play Dave's guitar riffs from all his albums is life!
Jamie, pull up that video of that bear playing metallica
😂 man this never gets old
I will always love this joke 😂
How much did they pay you to screw that bear
Dave's the man. A truly talented musician who's been there done that.
Rust in Peace is one of the best metal albums ever and one of my personal faves. Good to see he's still ticking.
It’s a perfect album as far as metal goes its top tier. Peace Sells is up there as well
The Hagar cover is killer!!
What is that?
@@barneyba megadeth performs Hagars This planets on fire ( burn in hell)
@@erictobias7
Thanks! Maybe I have heard that before.
Joe really carries the convo about the martial arts.
The movie Lucy, Joe mentioned is probably the only movie in this entire convo that didn't occur in the 80s.
Listening to Joe in this interview, he sounds like an entrrtainment lawyer
you can tell that they don't know what to start.. from the amount of time Joe interrupts Dave and jumping from one topic to another
Dave Mustaine is one of the greatest ,if not THE greatest, guitarist/vocalists in metal music. Megadeth has touched on political and religious subjects in ways that bring the truth to light- and have been in the forefront of thrash metal from the very beginning.
Thank God that Metallica let him go, anyway.
GREAT INTERVIEW ! Deserves a lot more listens , Dave is a very interesting man, for sure.
AGREED
Look at him now, 20 in Metallica, 60 in Megadeth and Megadeth now is producing better metal than Metallica by far. He still does it for the love of the music not the love of the money like Metallica now. DON'T get me wrong I still love Metallica, but Megadeth I listen to daily, Metallica I don't.
It's only better in your eyes. Art is subjective.
In no way is Megadeth better, theres a reason why one is waaay more popular than the other. Dont get me wrong, i love megadeth, but you cant compare them.
As an overall package Metallica are better than Megadeth but Megadeths guitar work shits all over Metallicas
@@pauld1568Metallica is over rated 15 year girls wear there shirt cause they sell em at the girls store
@@Cazz8203plz prove Dave isn’t a better guitar player with harder metal hits that he intended to do the name is called Metallica yet there not as metal? 😌waaaa
Dave is Amazing. I've liked him since he started. He's been through so much n he's gotten better in music n life each year. Congratulations n Thanks. Us Metal Heads are Thankful.
Aside from insane raw talent, Dave is truly smart and wise. A metal god of the likes of all the Greats we all love and know. Always anticipating the next epic Megadeath release!
Dave is Metal Legendary , he is definitely in my top 3 guitarist of my all time of listening to Music/Rock/Metal thank you Joe Rogan for having Dave on your show he such an inspiration in life not just music 🤘💀🤘
I went to a Megadeth concert at the Agora Amphitheatre in Cleveland when I was 21 with my cousin and girlfriend. The Misfits opened up for them. It was the Cryptic Writings tour. I remember Dave Mustane saying hail to the devil and got booed by the audience.
That's odd, because Dave got saved about 5 years before that.
We are about the same age and I've been a Megadeth fan for most of it.
After the release of "Peace Sells.... But Who's Buying" he even stopped playing " The Conjuring" live.
Relapse or something perhaps? That made him have a silly lapse?
I love Dave! Megadeth is my favorite band of all time. His riffs just hit me different than any other band! Just charges me with energy! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Dave is such an interesting guy. As a long term metalhead and Megadeth fan, how no idea how deep in to martial arts Dave is. Very knowledgeable.
Dave's smart as all hell. Dude knows a ton of stuff
And black magic spells hexs curses and the reason he was saved would blow your mind it has to do with death that's all I will say love long and prosper DM
@@11DNA11
He is smart from dumb people view
seen Megadeth in Belfast waaaaaay back & Dave apologised to all present about his comments on the Troubles & sectarian violence in Northern Ireland. i have a great respect for artists who own their mistakes & apologise publicly. they then went on to play Anarchy in the UK & we lost it.. amazing gig.
even tho i moved away from metal & became a techno dj/producer, i will always have a lil place for Mega.
and my Dad HATED their music 😆😆
great chat
Amazing to hang with mustaine. But the call by Joe that Cat Stevens wrote “Cats in the cradle” makes me laugh so much I get hysterical
WGN is Chicago Cubs I think he's thinking of TBS for the ATL Braves
You didn't make metal, metal made you!
Well Dave MADE METAL!
Wow. What an amazing picture of humanity. The journey, where he is now, where he's yet to go... I can't help but be a fan of MegaDave! Saw them in Cincinnati in'99, maybe '00, its a core memory for me. Megadeth, Motley Crue, and Anthrax who bailed, still a top 5 concert for me.
And I saw Paige and Plant!
definitly not 5 days ago but worth watch
Mad respect to Dave for referencing Benny and his other teachers as Sensei. Shows humility and good character. Just like GSP carrying Jean Charles Sharbowski's bag on TUF.
I love how Dave Mustaine is from my area. I don’t know why I always thought he was Canada and Michigan
I can't imagine having a normal conversation with one of the greatest rock stars of all time. Megadeth rules 🤘🤘⚡⚡
Recently became a fan of dave but already an idol for me his metal flaming heart really never fades out
All the Megadeth concerns I've been to were the time of my life! Metal since 1988! \m/ \m/
watching Joe stammer like a little star struck girl made my whole year lol...2 amazing dudes hanging out having a chat...awesome
Massive talent. Incredible music.
Wow! Around 43:30 I noticed Joe's hoodie has "Kill Cliff" right after Dave saw the old picture of Metallica and mentioned how seeing it brings him a bit of sadness because of what happened to Cliff. I wonder if Dave noticed what was on Joe's hoodie.
Dave Mustaine is a Metal Genius...
dave is a gemius
I watched the whole thing in one go... that's how good this is.
Lol. "Rock Loyalty". I think he meant to say "rock royalty"
Dave Mustaine: "Those guys in Star Wars with the big hats or heads ... Klingons" 😁
I love your all's Benny and the jetty
So what
@@timothymeadows8326🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
You woke the woke wake Daniel son ❤❤❤❤❤ John 5
The first time I heard Megadeth I was sitting in an empty dumpster with 3 friends skipping study hall...One of them had a Peace Sells and a cassette player... My favorite ever since.
🤘
hell yeah!!!
Jehovah's witness, LOL I remember reading about Dave being one years ago. in 1987.
Back in 1980 when we Moved from New jersey to Vermont. we stayed the first Month with my Aunt & uncle, cousins.
I remember saying to my Aunt Judy, Oh Great Easter is in 4 Days! : ) she said to me we Don't celebrate Easter. Me - how come?
My Aunt - Because we are Jehovah's Witnesses, I was like what is a Jehova's witness? I found out the Quick. Right there i was like
NO way would i ever become that. No Christmas? NO fkn Way. im 53 & Agnostic & to this day Christmas is my Favorite Holiday.
Glad to have seen Megadeth several times in the 80s and 90s! Thanks Joe and Dave for the great show!
Amazing.. if you only knew more about mustaine! Would have been an even better interview! He’s insane!
yeah its obvious joe rogan has never listened to megadeth and just knew that dave was in metallica and likes MMA
Joe after reading on and on that Coca Cola web page, "they use it to make people numb", Dave - "So does boring people" LOL! Totally went over Joes head. Dave actually threw in quite a few of those under the radar quips. Gotta love that guy. Never change Dave
These to gentlemen are two of the greatest.
He never slows down.putting out hard, fast political thrash constantly. 🤘🤘
fkyeah
I hate all these people saying Dave is an asshole. Hes a super cool dude. I like him
Thank you for putting episode up from earlier, it's so valuable, grattitude from Belgium
Joe is usually a very good interviewer, he asks good questions, when I heard about this interview I was eager to hear it all, my feeling is that Joe did not do his homework this time and wasted a promising interview
yeah no shit
Very good interview! I was born in 1970 and being in high school in the eighties was either the dead heads or heavy metal.great job!!🇺🇸
Better than when James was on talking about Bees for 2hrs.
I went to Megadeth concert recently only because their drummer plays in The Project Hate MCMXCIX which is my favorite band. Megadeth was better than I expected, great show, not as good as Slayer, but still really good.
Maybe next time, Joe will let Dave talk?
Sanbon Kumite - 3 step sparing, Jiyu ippon Kumite - semi Free sparring, Kihon Ippon kumite - single step, Jiyu kumite - free sparring
I like Dave but I love Buckethead!
I was waiting for Mustaine to reply to Rogan's "thanks for coming on the show" with his own "thanks for having me"!,!??!!
I thought it sounded quite arrogant to say "you're welcome" when in essence it was a great opportunity for them both!
However, I love Mustaine and Megadeth regardless of any lack of manners hahaha!
