He has probably had greater success with Megadeath than be would have staying with Metallica. I say that because they may have controlled his input on future songs so that Hetfield and Ulrich make most of the money off royalties. He's the mastermind and chief songwriter in Megadeath obviously it's his band.
@El Mango James is one of the best rhythm guitar players ever, I really wouldn’t say “light years.” James is the riff god; Dave could never come up with them himself.
@El Mango “best” doesn’t mean who can wank at their instrument like some dork. No one attacks the riff with the same level of ferociousness as James. Lol@you saying James didn’t write the majority Kill Em All. Not even delusional Dave would say that 🤣
I think the fact that Metallica being so successful and then Dave starting MegaDeth speaks volumes about how good Dave was even back 40 years ago. Not to many people can say they were apart of 2 major bands ever let alone at 20.
Les Claypool also had the same result when he tried out for Metallica but he ended up being overqualified I guess you could say . He was light years beyond them when it came to talent as well .
I think Dave's made a much bigger impact on music and imprint on society now than he ever would if he had stayed just a cog in the Metallica machine. I'm super happy for him.
@@muriloninja I do not know about lazyness, could be. But all the vices Lars has, he also has an ear for a good song and band management. I agree though, super happy that instead of one, we got two amazing bands producing music.
I've always been a Metallica guy, but discovered 'em late...in '96. Learned about the history with Dave, and always had a certain perception of him which was biased, to a degree. I can see he's a guy of remarkable intellect, and throughout his conversation with Rogan exudes a very low-key humbleness. Very impressive dude.
Very much agree by the early 2000's definitely was a Metallica but the first Megadeath song I heard was Symphony of Destruction that was in WWE's Smackdown vs Raw 06 and that was probably my favorite track to listen to for sure.
Yeah they told him "You better get your act together. If you get kicked out you'll never be this successful again. You'll never be in a band as big as Metallica" (paraphrased) he gets kicked out and forms his own bad that was as big as metallica.
@@raymondkidwell7135 they didn’t say that, lol WTF are you taking about? They just kicked him out and gave him a bus ticket, go! He lived off the royalties of his co-writer credits. He’s been living in Metallica’s shadow ever since.
Dave is the biggest personality to come out of Metallica, he’s a living legend, one of the forefathers of thrash. Metallica is known as four guys, when you think of Megadeth, you think of Dave Mustaine .
@@markandersen793 And maybe David Ellefson, hes being with Dave since Day 1 as well and hes a great Bassist player, but Dave its better than him musically speaking. They both legends anyways. Grammy winners and top chart metal/rock music sellers.
If you saw him 30 years ago (saw them twice in the early 90’s) you wouldn’t say that. Bravo to him for getting out there and doing it but they’re tuned down even further to get into his range now. As a lot of singers have to do. But better?? I take issue with that.
@@waynecanning4122 yeah it really isn't haha. I knew it sounded off the whole time but didn't know why until I got home and looked it up. I get why they have to do it, it just sucks. At least they are still playing live that's all that really matters.
Yeah he's way less douchey than most rockers, more like a normal dude. Wanna get douche chills over and over check out Steven Tyler interview, have mercy!
@@twilekcustodian I can’t disagree with your sarcasm, I just think he seems to be a bit more chilled out than before, which I guess isn’t really saying much lol
I bumped into Dave at an ATM in Scottsdale, AZ years ago. Such a friendly and approachable dude. This was before the selfie days and all that BS. I didn't even get an autograph and never told anybody for the longest time that I met him. Just a cool moment for an old fan... that out of pure chance met one of his metal heroes.
I think Dave is an amazing riff writer---Lucretia is out of this world unique---but, Kirk has some classic solos. I'm not a fan of Dave's soloing and pretty much any of Kirk's on Kill 'Em All.
@@renorailfanning5465 I agree I think Dave's specialty is his riff writing and overall song writing and he's a really good lyricist too. He's amazingly good at playing and singing at the same time like James. I think he's a very talented guy but he isn't this amazing lead guy like megadeth fanboys make him out to be lol. He doesn't have any particularly memorable solos while kirk has tons.
@@blakesweeney1023 Oh c'mon not again! His solo on Unforgiven is pretty nice but other than that, most of Kirk's playing is pretty pentatonic based and predictable. Listen to Marty flaring up the fretboard, using exotic scales and what not. The thing is Megadeth def had more tasteful players than Kirk. Listen to Tornado of Souls, Lucretia. Hell listen to Marty's solo albums: Dragons Kiss, Scenes. Listen to the Singles: Night, Tibet Angel, Valley of Eternity, Undertow. Marty's playing feels very holistic, deep and memorable. While Kirk's is not.
That was a dum assumption on Rogan's part but he's also not really into all of this so I understand. I immediately knew what Dave was referring to, I know he does not care about the whole leaving Metallica thing, why would he be said about it...
"Its just money you know, like you said , you know at the end of the day ,my Happines is my Family my wife and my children are more important to me than anything in this world." All hail to you Dave! Im just lucky enough to see them perform live here in the Philippines wayback 2017. 🤘🤘
Yeah it was like 40 years ago. Dave Mustaine used to be angry all the time as a kid because of problems in his life. Now he isn't angry anymore. He just sits back and enjoy life. You can't think about all the things that happened a long time ago.
I’m really happy for him that he’s in a place now where he has made peace with his past with Metallica. It seems like all throughout the 80s and 90s he couldn’t get through an interview without taking some shot at them, which is ridiculous, because Megadeth has always been a great band in their own right. He’s done huge things that most musicians only dream of.
@@maruzencentral besides Metallica songs, what Cliff has played that puts him up there as the greatest Bassist? People praise Burton,I just want to understand why?
it was his style of playing that puts him up there. he kinda kicked down the door for a new way for bass to be used in rock/metal/etc. thick basslines were prevelant in funk going back to sly and the family stone, but in rock/metal, it was just kind of the underline for the song. they'd do some melodic stuff and counter melodies and interesting stuff to add layers, most of the time they just mirror the root of whatever the overlying chord structure is in whatever inversion it may be, but cliff was playing it more like a lead guitarist would play. really intricate flowing lines undercutting songs. and that impact and how it affected metallica's songwriting even after his passing left a lasting impact on all of metal music even though he was only in the industry for.... what 2 years? that's not something many bassists can claim, let alone guitarists.
@@thereisnopandemic man I typed this long reply to you earlier at lunch and just realized I must have replied to someone else lol someone's going to be very confused
He's grown up so much and honestly I'm so proud of him. He could have fizzled out and died in a ditch somewhere but he's still out here kicking butt at 60 which is wild. Much respect Mr. Mustaine
Hes so chill i feel bad people always want to pester him about the lows of his life instead of the highs. Much respect for being an amazing artist and just a good person in general.
Most overrated person in metal history. Famous for once hanging out with James and lars. If Megadeth was so great they wouldn't be opening for five finger death Punch.
Im a big fan of metallica but i salute you dave for what ever you achive all the success fame and congratulation to you for finding God and truly being happy and satisfied for what you have.
I’ve been a Megadeth fan for 25 years, and a big fan of Rogan’s podcast since the early days. I’ve always hoped to see them link up for a show, and finally have! Bucket list item crossed off!
What are your thoughts on the hundreds of different members of Megadeth? Must be exhausting to stay loyal to a band when you know each member could be axxed any second.
@@cheknecht3092 38 million says you're wrong. He's doubled Slayer's sales, and not far behind Judas Priest, mostly playing thrash metal that pushed the boundaries for its time. Pretty fucking good going tbh.
What a walking testimony this man is. I remember him back in the 80’s - a total bad - ass; super charismatic, dangerous. I wasn’t a metal guy; but I always thought Megadeth were cooler than Metallica ( again, I wasn’t a metal fan- ) I just thought he has a personal charisma that I could relate to. And to hear him now, and how he articulates himself and what he values now is a beautiful demonstration of the power of God; when one is humbled enough to listen. Thanks for this.
When you are young, rich and have sex and drugs all day long its easy to lose scope and focus of your real self, he needed decades to finally get onto the right path but he is now and hes a religious man which is surprising considering he was into voodoo and black magic back in the 80's and early 90's, I dont know exactly when he found God but that was his motor to get out of that self destructing pit and thats commendable. Besides that hes a great fucking musicial way better than any other Tallica members (maybe on par with Cliff Burton) and his Ex Megadeth bandmates (Maybe on par too with Marty Friedman and Kiko)
Every time I hear Dave play the guitar I imagine James and Kirk’s reaction to hearing him play. You know their blown away. Incredible musician! Much love for Dave and Megadeth.
Dave Mustaine was one of the older members of Metallica too, along with Cliff Burton. James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich would have been 17-18 years old when the wrote and recorded Kill Em' All and then only 20 years old when they released and toured Ride the Lightning internationally not long after. Fucking mind boggling man. They're all hero's
@@fidacuca Metallica & Megadeth combined saved a lot of lives through their music. Curing generations of depression and anxiety, keeping kids company during their darkest thoughts. Not sure your 'job' does that...
Man, Joe Rogan really does get some absolute legends on. I haven’t actually followed any recent health updates on Dave but it sure looks like the cancer/treatment has knocked him around, understandably. I’m sure I speak for many by wishing him all the best health.
@@Michael15_25 But that's also a testament to the type of person Dave is. He put himself through so much abuse only to come out the other side a better man. Millions of stories don't end up the same way.
Met him here in Franklin, TN after he moved here for his daughter's career and he kinda growled at me while telling my Marty stories. Had no clue what I could've positioned for in this town for his talented kid.
Big Mustaine fan, this guy is just so interesting and incredible and has definitely left his stamp on heavy metal as arguably the singular most important individual to live as it relates to heavy metal, having started Metallica and Megadeth, with his influence on at least 2 early Metallica albums and of course all of Megadeth. He's simply incredible, intelligent, interesting... long live DM.
Growing up in Montana , took a bit longer for this kind of music to reach us ... But at the end of junior high and all through highschool , all we listened to was Metallica , Megadeth , Slayer , Ozzy and Chris Ledoux. Lots of love Dave, family and the whole crew , from the big sky country 🌞🇺🇲
@@CrossLBar1883 oh nice! My mom graduated from Dutton! I wrestled in Conrad in high-school about 10 years back! Pretty funny where you'll run into people that are from that little area!
Dave on the JRE podcast was a pleasant surprise. I saw Megadeth live September 21’ for the metal tour of the year with my dad. They Kicked ass!! Can’t wait for the new album this year !!!!
Recently seen Megadeth and Lamb of God. Dave is a machine. Rust in Peace is one of my deserted island record. It’s just perfection front to back. Kill ‘me all and Ride the lightning are my 2 fav Metallica records. I bet Dave plays a part in that.
absolutely feel that. i don't really listen to thrash nowadays, been almost a decade since i was last into it, but as much I loved those early Metallica albums and spent more time and energy on Metallica, I look back and still think I prefer Megadeth back then and today KIMBABIG was such a killer album and had this energy and rawness that Metallica didn't have, for me in my opinion anyways
i aint gona beat around the bush here, i live for Metallica, but damn to leave (or be thrown out) of Metallica the way he was, then to start a band of his own that became Metallic's closest Rival (if u want to use that word) is crazy impressive... its one thing to be in the biggest metal band of all time but to walk and create Megadeath and do what they did... its beyond impressive..
just my opinion but megadeth is better than metallica. metallica had a wider reach but as far as being able to play their instruments the gap is noticeable
@@TSTD_Punisher Yeah everything about Megadeth, technicality wise is just better than Metallica, but I think from a song writing perspective Metallica edges them.
I'd say it's a good word. In the beginning, after he was thrown out his exact words were "This is war." But, time heals all wounds. They're all friends now
Always been a big fan of Mustaine. He never sold out, and always stayed about the metal. And he's 60 now and still pushing the proverbial envelope. Gotta respect a dude like Dave. Plus, he trains jiu jitsu. Such a cool guy.
I wish I could say the same about Metallica, and this coming from a life-long fan of the band. They stopped caring about their fans, and more about the money. I just wonder what Cliff would say about that? Since before his untimely death he played because he loved it and also played for his fans.
@@Yourmommyisbusy Cliff could have changed as well had he still be living, we don't know. I mean, he loved lots of genre's of music and some of the genres he loved were bands that were very popular at the time....As he got older he may have wanted to move into different genres of music.
@@Yourmommyisbusy I couldn’t disagree more, Dave would have gladly “sold out”, if he could of… Metallica does a lot for the fans for free… releasing content, old shows that are professionally mixed for free, not sure how they could do more while being one of the biggest bands ever
Went to the 08 New England Metal fest and was lucky enough to see Dave as him and the rest of the band was arriving. Only one in the band to take time out to come and talk to us. Told him I wanted to make music and he said “do it man” three simple words. I’ll always remember that. Wasn’t a whole lot, just the fact that he took the time to tell a 7 yr old that. Shit man I don’t give a damn what anyone says ab Dave. One of the best rockers of all time and a real dude. Always gonna have love for ole Davey.
It must be very frustrating for Dave to explain every time to the fans and the media that there is no grudge towards Metallica; this is a man who cherishes the time spent with his old bandmates and mostly misses a talented friend that died way too early... It's about time for everyone to show some respect.
@@Haryostos He says he said that, but who knows. I bet he'd rather have the Metallica royalty checks, but either way, surely if you write music as a band, the band has a right to use the music you wrote together.
@@TerribleEnglish Based on how he left do you really think that he would be ok for them to use his music? Regardless of that, I am answering to you, as to why ;)
@@Haryostos Well, it wasn't really up to him, I think, no matter what he asked them. But it's all in the past now anyway. Personally, I'd rather he stops going on about it.
Got a chance to catch them on the 20th anniversary of Countdown to Extinction tour in ‘12. Absolutely blew the roof off the place! One of my top 10 shows
@@aaronnotte329 WRONG lol. He is clearly the best interviewer of all time.

Etc. etc. Joe can have Intelligent conversations with all of them.
I've been to about 60 rock concerts. Everyone from Iron Maiden to Metallica to Sabbath, Pantera, Tool, NIN. But seeing Dave play his guitar on stage was just a feeling & a vibe that had me mesmerized to a point that no other live performance has taken me. Simply amazing musician. And seems like an amazing person all around.
Dave is my hero. My #1 bucket list is seeing Megadeth live. I've listened to so much of there music that I can literally sing just like Dave. I've blown a few minds with the vocals. Lol
Almost threw my phone out of excitement when I saw this notification wow ! Maybe most excited I’ve been to watch a jre in interview in a couple years good shit ! Can’t wait to get off work soon haha
Dave absolutely shreds! And keeps on doing so. Him & Ritchie Blackmore are my faves as far as those clean notes and intricate compositions go. Keep on shredding dudes! Ritchie has gone back a few centuries with that Renaissance fair stuff, but some of that is actually really good...am i tripping but Dave & Ritchie must collaborate on a medieval speed metal track😎🖖👍🍻
I have heard nothing but great stories about Dave. The other day, I saw a video of him passing out guitar picks to kiddos! He seems so aware of how blessed he is, kudos to him!
@@springbloom5940 are you dumb?? He wrote the music for jump in the fire, four horseman, metal militia. And phantom lord. Every note was written by Dave.
Wow this is so awesome! Thank you for inviting Dave. I remember James was also on the podcast and it was also very emotional - talking about alcoholism. New Megadeth songs are frikin great!
Saw him live in Dallas Tx I want to say in 2010 ish. He had just broke his hand and Megadeath announced they couldn’t come out that night and play.. 20 mins later out he came ALONE and shredded for a solid 30 minutes and then left. He is for sure one of the greatest guitar players of all time
Metallica had the greatest thrash writing trio for a brief moment in Hetfield, Mustaine and Burton. It will most likely never be equalled again for sheer talent for that genre.
I remember hearing about Cliff Burton and the fallout. Sad that Cliff died in the tour bus accident his contribution in his short time was amazing. And Metal Melita is one of my favorite metal songs of all time. I'm glad Mr Dave Mustaine turned a disaster into an opportunity and gave the fans Megadeth. Thank you Dave. For your music, all of you fkrs gave me hope in a dark dark time of my life.
Dave is thoughtful, articulate; everything you don't expect from a "rock star." Don't know him personally but I'd like to sit and talk with him. A wise soul.
I've been on "team Dave" since day one....his line, "I don't push it on people, it's my thing" is awesome...if only more people who push their agenda's, whatever they may be, had this philosophy the world would be a better place!
so proud of dave ..that man is a true musical legend ...he has been hammering on those guitars for over 40 yrs now ..and has not got his fill yet ..new album out in september ..what i have heard is killer :)

0:51 gave me chills, you can see and feel Dave's sadness. Wow.
another user pointed out Joe is wearing a "Kill Cliff" hoodie...
@Dm3qXY Pretty sure that's an energy drink company Joe shills for. But yeah, Joe really should've read the room on this one.
I've always been a Metallica guy, but discovered 'em late...in '96. Learned about the history with Dave, and always had a certain perception of him which was biased, to a degree. I can see he's a guy of remarkable intellect, and throughout his conversation with Rogan exudes a very low-key humbleness. Very impressive dude.
same bro, when I finally listened to peace sells and rust in peace I was like, "Wtf this is the dude they canned for kirk?"
Very much agree by the early 2000's definitely was a Metallica but the first Megadeath song I heard was Symphony of Destruction that was in WWE's Smackdown vs Raw 06 and that was probably my favorite track to listen to for sure.
Dave Mustain is one of the greatest comeback stories in music history!
Yeah they told him "You better get your act together. If you get kicked out you'll never be this successful again. You'll never be in a band as big as Metallica" (paraphrased) he gets kicked out and forms his own bad that was as big as metallica.
@@raymondkidwell7135 very inspirational
@@raymondkidwell7135 they didn’t say that, lol WTF are you taking about? They just kicked him out and gave him a bus ticket, go! He lived off the royalties of his co-writer credits. He’s been living in Metallica’s shadow ever since.
Dave is the biggest personality to come out of Metallica, he’s a living legend, one of the forefathers of thrash. Metallica is known as four guys, when you think of Megadeth, you think of Dave Mustaine .
@@markandersen793 And maybe David Ellefson, hes being with Dave since Day 1 as well and hes a great Bassist player, but Dave its better than him musically speaking. They both legends anyways. Grammy winners and top chart metal/rock music sellers.
I just seen this badass perform live a couple days ago. He just recovered from throat cancer and he sounds better than ever
If you saw him 30 years ago (saw them twice in the early 90’s) you wouldn’t say that. Bravo to him for getting out there and doing it but they’re tuned down even further to get into his range now. As a lot of singers have to do. But better?? I take issue with that.
That’s great to hear.
@@waynecanning4122 I was disappointed about it being so tuned down when I went to see them. Changes the feel of everything.
@@kps393 Holy Wars just isn’t the same.
@@waynecanning4122 yeah it really isn't haha. I knew it sounded off the whole time but didn't know why until I got home and looked it up. I get why they have to do it, it just sucks. At least they are still playing live that's all that really matters.
I wish Dave realised how insanely talented Dave is
He does, but he just carries that chip on his shoulder and always will and it's given us great music lol
Dave such a straight shooter, I respect that
He’s got a great frame of mind. true happiness exudes from his persona. Rock legend is an understatement
He didn't play rock music. He's a legend in the metal community
It is nice to see him healthy, happy and balanced. Great musician/entertainer.
@@bobby_hill8357 Metal is a kind of rock…
@@Dinosaurs_with_laser_guns Absolutely not. Metal and rock are 2 completely different genres

Yeah he's way less douchey than most rockers, more like a normal dude. Wanna get douche chills over and over check out Steven Tyler interview, have mercy!
@Dave Mustaine 🅥 Great, these idiots will be in every comment thread the way this is going.
He's so responsible and an upstanding guy. Such a respected person he's like a drill sergeant, because that's what rock and roll is about
@@twilekcustodian I can’t disagree with your sarcasm, I just think he seems to be a bit more chilled out than before, which I guess isn’t really saying much lol
That's the best comment on the thread and that you can make about him as well!
I bumped into Dave at an ATM in Scottsdale, AZ years ago. Such a friendly and approachable dude. This was before the selfie days and all that BS. I didn't even get an autograph and never told anybody for the longest time that I met him. Just a cool moment for an old fan... that out of pure chance met one of his metal heroes.
was he checking to see if his Metal Militia royalties arrived?
Lol
Or those three songs from ride the lighting
I love when Dave said in a semi dismissive way”Kirk is a good guitarist “…lol
I think Dave is an amazing riff writer---Lucretia is out of this world unique---but, Kirk has some classic solos. I'm not a fan of Dave's soloing and pretty much any of Kirk's on Kill 'Em All.
@@renorailfanning5465 I agree I think Dave's specialty is his riff writing and overall song writing and he's a really good lyricist too. He's amazingly good at playing and singing at the same time like James. I think he's a very talented guy but he isn't this amazing lead guy like megadeth fanboys make him out to be lol. He doesn't have any particularly memorable solos while kirk has tons.
@@midnight347 Marty beats Kirks solos by light years. Dave is a riff writer not a lead guitarist.
Your quote isn't even close. He said "He's not a bad guitar player."
@@blakesweeney1023 Oh c'mon not again! His solo on Unforgiven is pretty nice but other than that, most of Kirk's playing is pretty pentatonic based and predictable. Listen to Marty flaring up the fretboard, using exotic scales and what not. The thing is Megadeth def had more tasteful players than Kirk. Listen to Tornado of Souls, Lucretia. Hell listen to Marty's solo albums: Dragons Kiss, Scenes. Listen to the Singles: Night, Tibet Angel, Valley of Eternity, Undertow.
Marty's playing feels very holistic, deep and memorable. While Kirk's is not.
Joe: "Because of the way it went down with you guys?"
Dave: "No...because of Cliff."
Joe: "Oh, yeah." [moving right along...] 😑
That was a dum assumption on Rogan's part but he's also not really into all of this so I understand. I immediately knew what Dave was referring to, I know he does not care about the whole leaving Metallica thing, why would he be said about it...
Right. I haven't listened to a whole podcast but that could've been a good time to ask him about Cliff.
Cliff disliked Mustaine more than anyone.
Any metal fan would’ve at least said a word about Cliff.
Well, he is wearing a Kill Cliff T-shirt. Perhaps best he moved along...
"Its just money you know, like you said , you know at the end of the day ,my Happines is my Family my wife and my children are more important to me than anything in this world." All hail to you Dave! Im just lucky enough to see them perform live here in the Philippines wayback 2017. 🤘🤘
Yeah it was like 40 years ago. Dave Mustaine used to be angry all the time as a kid because of problems in his life. Now he isn't angry anymore. He just sits back and enjoy life. You can't think about all the things that happened a long time ago.
I have been waiting so long for Dave to be on here. Thank you so much for bringing him on the show!
I’m really happy for him that he’s in a place now where he has made peace with his past with Metallica. It seems like all throughout the 80s and 90s he couldn’t get through an interview without taking some shot at them, which is ridiculous, because Megadeth has always been a great band in their own right. He’s done huge things that most musicians only dream of.
I’ve always respected Dave Mustaine as an incredibly gifted artist. He seems like a cool dude on top of that
"I don't care about that, because Cliff." R.I.P Cliff.
Joe's lack of knowledge on cliff is sad considering Joe is such a music "fan". One of the best bassists to live.
@@maruzencentral besides Metallica songs, what Cliff has played that puts him up there as the greatest Bassist? People praise Burton,I just want to understand why?
it was his style of playing that puts him up there. he kinda kicked down the door for a new way for bass to be used in rock/metal/etc. thick basslines were prevelant in funk going back to sly and the family stone, but in rock/metal, it was just kind of the underline for the song. they'd do some melodic stuff and counter melodies and interesting stuff to add layers, most of the time they just mirror the root of whatever the overlying chord structure is in whatever inversion it may be, but cliff was playing it more like a lead guitarist would play. really intricate flowing lines undercutting songs. and that impact and how it affected metallica's songwriting even after his passing left a lasting impact on all of metal music even though he was only in the industry for.... what 2 years?
that's not something many bassists can claim, let alone guitarists.
@@thereisnopandemic man I typed this long reply to you earlier at lunch and just realized I must have replied to someone else lol someone's going to be very confused
@@maruzencentral while wearing a kill cliff shirt
Dave's one of the major pioneers of heavy metal and a living legend and you can tell Joe recognizes that
So glad I got to see them live in the Friedman/ Menza days. What a band!
Dave seems like a pretty level headed dude that has it figured out. Glad to see hear it and I’m happy to see him on JRE.
Yeah right! I have seen some interviews he has done lately and he seems like a nice guy.
Ted Nugent - Cat Scratch Fever
@CBEdits very immature statement
I mean, hes a born again christian who believes in literal black magic n shit, so wouldnt go that far
@CBEdits Im saying you're immature tho? Glad we agree
1:04 "because....Cliff" 😢. So short yet so deep. After all those years.
He's grown up so much and honestly I'm so proud of him. He could have fizzled out and died in a ditch somewhere but he's still out here kicking butt at 60 which is wild. Much respect Mr. Mustaine
Hes so chill i feel bad people always want to pester him about the lows of his life instead of the highs. Much respect for being an amazing artist and just a good person in general.
A heavy metal legend!
Yup. Saw Megadeth play live last year with Lamb of God. Best concert I’ve ever been to.
Music for low IQ listeners.
They were damn iconic
Indeed.
Most overrated person in metal history. Famous for once hanging out with James and lars. If Megadeth was so great they wouldn't be opening for five finger death Punch.
An unexpected crossover, but a welcomed one.
Not exactly unexpected, Dave has been on Alex Jones show many times
@Dave Mustaine 🅥
Thanks Dave, you're appreciated.
I don't know if it was unexpected. Joe already had some rockstars on his shows for example James Hetfield and Maynard James Keenan
James Hetfield was on the show many years ago and Joe has a lot of musicians on, Recently it was Ted Nudgent as well.
Im a big fan of metallica but i salute you dave for what ever you achive all the success fame and congratulation to you for finding God and truly being happy and satisfied for what you have.
Musical genius yet still humble. Dave seems like an awesome dude, I hope I get to meet the guy some day.
I’ve heard Dave called a lot of things, I’ve never heard him called humble, lol
@Joe Smith I should probably clarify. Humble in comparison lol most dudes in his position act like they're perfect.
I’ve been a Megadeth fan for 25 years, and a big fan of Rogan’s podcast since the early days. I’ve always hoped to see them link up for a show, and finally have! Bucket list item crossed off!
Lmao, that was on your bucket list.
Yeah, pretty good. 👍

holy shit thanks for reminding me of asphyxia havent listen to them in YEARS!
@@nomercy1123 Not many people get that. You are welcome!
What a walking testimony this man is.
I remember him back in the 80’s - a total bad - ass; super charismatic, dangerous. I wasn’t a metal guy; but I always thought Megadeth were cooler than Metallica ( again, I wasn’t a metal fan- ) I just thought he has a personal charisma that I could relate to.
And to hear him now, and how he articulates himself and what he values now is a beautiful demonstration of the power of God; when one is humbled enough to listen. Thanks for this.
When you are young, rich and have sex and drugs all day long its easy to lose scope and focus of your real self, he needed decades to finally get onto the right path but he is now and hes a religious man which is surprising considering he was into voodoo and black magic back in the 80's and early 90's, I dont know exactly when he found God but that was his motor to get out of that self destructing pit and thats commendable. Besides that hes a great fucking musicial way better than any other Tallica members (maybe on par with Cliff Burton) and his Ex Megadeth bandmates (Maybe on par too with Marty Friedman and Kiko)
I swear metal musicians are the nicest and most wholesome people
Thanks for the love and support, where are you from?
Unexpected surprise.... Megadeth is one of my all time favorites so I'll definitely have to give this one a listen
New songs are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Liaten to the track Holy Wars... The Punishment Due (Ģeeeeenius)
Every time I hear Dave play the guitar I imagine James and Kirk’s reaction to hearing him play. You know their blown away. Incredible musician! Much love for Dave and Megadeth.
I doubt it
Had the privilege of meeting Dave at an event one time. Super cool dude. Very humble. Will always be a fan!!
Dave Mustaine was one of the older members of Metallica too, along with Cliff Burton. James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich would have been 17-18 years old when the wrote and recorded Kill Em' All and then only 20 years old when they released and toured Ride the Lightning internationally not long after. Fucking mind boggling man. They're all hero's
Heroes why? Musicians. It was their job.
@@fidacuca Metallica & Megadeth combined saved a lot of lives through their music. Curing generations of depression and anxiety, keeping kids company during their darkest thoughts. Not sure your 'job' does that...
@@fidacuca musician is not really a job
If you are a professional musician it is a job… it takes decades to get good..
@@paveantelic7876 It is for those who can make (at least) decent money playing music.
Man, Joe Rogan really does get some absolute legends on. I haven’t actually followed any recent health updates on Dave but it sure looks like the cancer/treatment has knocked him around, understandably. I’m sure I speak for many by wishing him all the best health.
Being a heroin, crack, meth addict, and alcoholic for 30 plus years doesnt help either
I think it'd be pretty funny if every now and then Joe had on just some regular average schlub.
@@Michael15_25 But that's also a testament to the type of person Dave is. He put himself through so much abuse only to come out the other side a better man. Millions of stories don't end up the same way.
Dude is 60 ffs!
Everyone loves god when they’re Truly on deaths bed.
Met him here in Franklin, TN after he moved here for his daughter's career and he kinda growled at me while telling my Marty stories. Had no clue what I could've positioned for in this town for his talented kid.
Big Mustaine fan, this guy is just so interesting and incredible and has definitely left his stamp on heavy metal as arguably the singular most important individual to live as it relates to heavy metal, having started Metallica and Megadeth, with his influence on at least 2 early Metallica albums and of course all of Megadeth. He's simply incredible, intelligent, interesting... long live DM.
I am so happy he got mustaine. I’m a huge megadeth fan. It’s amazing what he’s been able to do after leaving Metallica
Hm. Not amazing. It's just what Dave DOES. He's a beast.
I like to think if it more of as "look what Dave has done and continues to do without Metallica holding him back".
Growing up in Montana , took a bit longer for this kind of music to reach us ... But at the end of junior high and all through highschool , all we listened to was Metallica , Megadeth , Slayer , Ozzy

Hi Dave!
Dave on the JRE podcast was a pleasant surprise. I saw Megadeth live September 21’ for the metal tour of the year with my dad. They Kicked ass!! Can’t wait for the new album this year !!!!
you have a good father.
@@samuraikyokkan Thank u homie! \m/
I can't believe they kicked Ellefson out over some rumors.
My God!!!!!!! I did never expect this to happen! This is a great day
@Dave Mustaine 🅥
Thanks Dave, you're appreciated.
To have been in two of the bands of the big 4 is testimony enough to how awesome Dave is! Not many musicians can carry that torch!
When dave talks about cliff what a goosebumps love it
Dave Mustaine!!! One of my all time favorites!!! Joe's test levels must have raised being in the presence of such METAL greatness.
Recently seen Megadeth and Lamb of God. Dave is a machine. Rust in Peace is one of my deserted island record. It’s just perfection front to back. Kill ‘me all and Ride the lightning are my 2 fav Metallica records. I bet Dave plays a part in that.
Recently saw LOG too for the first time, they were absolutely amazing. I’ve yet to see Megadeth, hopefully I’ll get the chance to
absolutely feel that. i don't really listen to thrash nowadays, been almost a decade since i was last into it, but as much I loved those early Metallica albums and spent more time and energy on Metallica, I look back and still think I prefer Megadeth back then and today
KIMBABIG was such a killer album and had this energy and rawness that Metallica didn't have, for me in my opinion anyways
Got to see them live a year ago, they were still fantastic!
I remember the first-time hearing Megadeth. It was that haunting piano intro from Killing Is My Business...
Hell of an interview from one of my favorite musicians
I respect and appreciate Dave SO DEEPLY! I do not know him personally, but I am so proud of him for pushing himself in all forms ❤️
Dave will always be my favorite artist
And you are a MASTERPIECE✨
Love Dave. Legend. Thanks for having him as a guest & for sharing the interview Joe!
i aint gona beat around the bush here, i live for Metallica, but damn to leave (or be thrown out) of Metallica the way he was, then to start a band of his own that became Metallic's closest Rival (if u want to use that word) is crazy impressive... its one thing to be in the biggest metal band of all time but to walk and create Megadeath and do what they did... its beyond impressive..
just my opinion but megadeth is better than metallica. metallica had a wider reach but as far as being able to play their instruments the gap is noticeable
@@TSTD_Punisher Yeah everything about Megadeth, technicality wise is just better than Metallica, but I think from a song writing perspective Metallica edges them.
He did it to himself, dave was a train wreck at the time. Getting fired from metallica was the best thing happened to both bands.
I'd say it's a good word.
In the beginning, after he was thrown out his exact words were
"This is war."
But, time heals all wounds.
They're all friends now
I'm the biggest Metallic fan there is but the way they treated Dave and Jason Newstead plus the whole Napster thing, they're a bunch of assholes.
Always been a big fan of Mustaine. He never sold out, and always stayed about the metal. And he's 60 now and still pushing the proverbial envelope. Gotta respect a dude like Dave. Plus, he trains jiu jitsu. Such a cool guy.
I wish I could say the same about Metallica, and this coming from a life-long fan of the band. They stopped caring about their fans, and more about the money. I just wonder what Cliff would say about that? Since before his untimely death he played because he loved it and also played for his fans.
@@Yourmommyisbusy Cliff could have changed as well had he still be living, we don't know. I mean, he loved lots of genre's of music and some of the genres he loved were bands that were very popular at the time....As he got older he may have wanted to move into different genres of music.
@@Yourmommyisbusy I couldn’t disagree more, Dave would have gladly “sold out”, if he could of… Metallica does a lot for the fans for free… releasing content, old shows that are professionally mixed for free, not sure how they could do more while being one of the biggest bands ever
Most thrash bands sold out in the 90s, for megadeth it was “Risk”
@@Yourmommyisbusy They were gonna fire Lars after the Puppets tour.
Dave is a good man with a kind heart and he's an amazing musician/song writer. \m/
Went to the 08 New England Metal fest and was lucky enough to see Dave as him and the rest of the band was arriving. Only one in the band to take time out to come and talk to us. Told him I wanted to make music and he said “do it man” three simple words. I’ll always remember that. Wasn’t a whole lot, just the fact that he took the time to tell a 7 yr old that. Shit man I don’t give a damn what anyone says ab Dave. One of the best rockers of all time and a real dude. Always gonna have love for ole Davey.
so you're 24 now, have you done it?
Love you Dave! been a fan since 2004! Megadeth is still my favorite metal band and your songs had a lot of influence on me growing up.
It must be very frustrating for Dave to explain every time to the fans and the media that there is no grudge towards Metallica; this is a man who cherishes the time spent with his old bandmates and mostly misses a talented friend that died way too early... It's about time for everyone to show some respect.
Then why does he bring up them 'using his music', even though he admits he got royalties for it.
@@TerribleEnglish Because he said "don't use my music"
@@Haryostos He says he said that, but who knows. I bet he'd rather have the Metallica royalty checks, but either way, surely if you write music as a band, the band has a right to use the music you wrote together.
@@TerribleEnglish Based on how he left do you really think that he would be ok for them to use his music? Regardless of that, I am answering to you, as to why ;)
@@Haryostos Well, it wasn't really up to him, I think, no matter what he asked them. But it's all in the past now anyway. Personally, I'd rather he stops going on about it.
Love you, Dave! You keep on doing what you doing and be happy my man! Lots of love and respect! 🙌🏼

And seems like an amazing person all around.
Dave is my hero. My #1 bucket list is seeing Megadeth live. I've listened to so much of there music that I can literally sing just like Dave. I've blown a few minds with the vocals. Lol

Almost threw my phone out of excitement when I saw this notification wow ! Maybe most excited I’ve been to watch a jre in interview in a couple years good shit ! Can’t wait to get off work soon haha

We love you Dave! Thank you for everything!
Saw him live in Dallas Tx I want to say in 2010 ish. He had just broke his hand and Megadeath announced they couldn’t come out that night and play.. 20 mins later out he came ALONE and shredded for a solid 30 minutes and then left. He is for sure one of the greatest guitar players of all time
Metallica had the greatest thrash writing trio for a brief moment in Hetfield, Mustaine and Burton. It will most likely never be equalled again for sheer talent for that genre.
I remember hearing about Cliff Burton and the fallout. Sad that Cliff died in the tour bus accident his contribution in his short time was amazing. And Metal Melita is one of my favorite metal songs of all time. I'm glad Mr Dave Mustaine turned a disaster into an opportunity and gave the fans Megadeth. Thank you Dave. For your music, all of you fkrs gave me hope in a dark dark time of my life.
