The bass intro is so minimal its insane he had an issue with it
Dave Mustaine is a creative genius, a living legend, and a businessman who doesn't give an inch when it comes to money, but he's also truly a Jekyll & Hyde type personality. I did a lot of promotion for Mustaine and Megadeth back during the System Has Failed Era as well as the United Abominations era. I also bought a Jackson guitar directly from Mustaine when he injured his arm and put his gear up for sale. He was cool to me at times on the Megadeth boards and grateful for the promotion I did, but one day he called me a liar on the Megadeth forums which showed me the other side of Mustaine first hand. I had posted a review of a Gigantour show I attended in which I described it as one of the best shows of my life. I also mentioned a funny moment when he was playing Mechanix all messed up prior to going into the song. He said to the crowd "that's how it would sound if I were on quaaludes" and then properly ripped into the actual intro. Mustaine read my post and glossed right over the phenomenal review I had written only to immediately deny saying it and then posted a second time in the same thread calling me a liar. I still have a recording of the full concert I attended on a CD-R so Mustaine can deny it all he wants, but he said it. It was just a dick move by him considering all the promotion I did for free on his behalf. I still love Megadeth's music, but Mustaine hasn't matured very much over the years. Fans like the Kingmaker bass intro, so it was an uncalled means to bash Ellefson.
Dave mustard stain is no musical genius He’s another phony Christian who is up tight . His music is extremely Low vibrational . I heard he just wrote a new song It’s called Washed up Carrot top . 🤪
Liar…. (Lol jk!) maybe he was referencing his song Liar from SFSGSW?
Exactly
I hate cancel culture, But if there ever were anybody who deserved to get canceled it would be Dave
I worked close w him for a few months. Jekyll & Hyde is a good description. One minute he’s cool as hell with you the next minute he’s a spoiled rotten & selfish child.
David and Jason Newsted should start a support group for former thrash metal bassists
I’m sure they’re wiping their tears away with wads of cash.
@@conradsz This made me lol
Dig up Lemmy and Cliff and have their unused demos be the backing tracks playing behind their skeletons while Ellefson plays Peace Sells and Newsted plays Blackened on endless loops.
@@joepermenter7228 Then Tom Araya shows up and sings Angel of Death until he loses his voice while Ron McGovney is yelling at everyone to get out of his garage
Ellefson doesn't need "support". He was having an affair with a girl young enough to be his granddaughter and the frontman of his band did not approve of it. Simple as that.
There was no reason for Mustaine to bring up that shit. If he didn't like what Junior put in the song then he should've said no as the bandleader that has final say, instead of bitching about it years later. As for Broderick, now I see one of reasons why he followed Shawn Drover right out the door when he quit. Makes sense now. Mustaine ALWAYS talks shit about everyone who has been in that band. If Kiko or Dirk wind up leaving for whatever reason, I'm sure he'll have some BS today about them too. This behavior is obviously instilled in him going back to him getting the boot from you know who all those years ago. It's as obvious as the nose on one's face. Resentment is a hell of a thing to carry. Not healthy.
If you have ever seen Megadeth's behind the music, then you'd know this behavior of his comes from a very young age, he had a very very troubled upbringing that probably influenced his personality, it's the main reason that other band got rid of him, it wasnt the drinking or the drugs, cause all of them were doing that.
@@goldenfreddy-gj5wy very true.
@@goldenfreddy-gj5wy
Oh my upbringing!! my upbringing!! what shall I do? knock it off head case.
I remember Kerry King said in an interview that he doesn't know how anyone can work with Mustaine for more than 5 minutes.
and people wonder why Marty Friedman won't come anywhere near this mess.
5 months later
Ohhhhh sick burn
@@theabsentlight Yeah, for 2-3 songs.. it doesn't count
Comment aged like milk.
@@danielchalyan6927 They played again in Germany recently.
What, no warning, no second chance?
I’m a big Megadeth fan but you have to agree that Dave is a hard individual to work with. Just look at how many line up changes they’ve had since 1983.
It's not all on Dave, some of the past members were drug addicts and flakey.
and dave mustaine has always something made up shit stories to say against all his former members to make them look bad.
Exactly
No
You're clueless and not all of them were fired or were innocent like you think
@@arm5080 You really don't know either and are going along with the hype.
This all started before your parents were born and you have no clue LoL.
Mustaine is a diva, he will never get over Metallica shit. Ellefson is a great guy.
Mustaine? Abusive??? ... No! Say it's not so! 😂😂😂
Sr is one of the reasons why the late Nick Menza and Marty Friedman wanted nothing to do with rejoining Megadeth
And those 2 were super cool. Met them all. Dave M has been a dick on and off for years.
That whole Ellefson interview was pretty good. Check it out! 2020'd is the channel.
Remember Ellefson sued Dave M for 18 million back in 2018 and then dropped the suit and came back to play with Megadeth it was his legal trouble that got him kicked out of the band but nevertheless they have been through a lot together and always made great music it’s a shame if it ends like this.
That wasn't in 2018, that happened in the early 2000's.
@@garymorris216 yes sorry you are correct it was 2004 nevertheless it’s still a shame after all those years
@@louisgiardina8918 he didn't drop the suit it got thrown out of court at least according to Mustaine!
Mustaine is insane.
IMO, Dave M doesn't want to share anymore royalties than he has to
That is probably the biggest truth. The music BUSINESS, and business is money. I have no idea on David's lawsuit that got shut down but it stated he was suing for song writing credits as well as merchandise and publishing. Clearly, from a legal perspective (or fine print) Dave was in charge from day one.
The 2019 work that Ellefson is referring to was his work on The Sick, the Dying, and the Dead.
At least he didn't put a spell on him.
Dave Mustaine feels like Ellefson has to much money for what he's contributed. I'm not even psychic!! Mustaine is a ego maniac..
Very well said…..
2 things. Now we know why Broderick and Drover (both Drovers) left. The other thing I'm getting is that Mustaine didn't want to give Ellefson writing credits because Ellefson sued him before over unpaid royalties. That's where the strained relationship came from. The beat off video was the great opportunity for Mustaine to get rid of Ellefson. I wonder how long before Kiko and Dirk decide to jump ship....
Dave May have learned his lesson if you check out the new album credits. Kiko cowrites like half the songs, which is unprecedented
Yea Im sure working for Dave is tough, The issue from Metallica of his discard will carry on forever....I understand how he must feel, look what he missed out on....Hammett is worth 200 million today Mustaine 30 million....Hammett has 170 million more than Dave....I can see where thats painful. It was at his fingertips and he was disposed....But also I feel Mustaine is the most talented out of them all....IMO
I think Mustaine uses guitar players for their ideas and then gets rid of them when they can't produce anything he feels is new.
@@sirchromiumdowns2015 Not sure about that, Ellefson and someone else tried to change the beginning of kingmaker, and Mustaine did not like them doing that....and also said its a dumb beginning now....He let it go on there, but doesnt like it.
@@culleykaufman2295
I agree with you; yet he is his own worst enemy. He never lost his Metallica gig over lack of skills or lack of talent. He is just not a nice person to be around, and his talent wasn’t enough to compensate. They couldn’t live with him.
Awesome 😎
Dave's been with Megadeth a real long time, put up with Mustaines insanity the whole time, got give him a lot of credit for enduring that for so long.
Nobody forced him to put up with anything.
Yeah… You might want to look a little less uncritically at what Ellison is saying here… what I actually think happened is that Mustaine did say add your ideas but he didn’t necessarily say record them because that actually cost money. Ellefson easily could’ve showed him what he wanted to do and gotten Dave’s approval. And yes it is about publishing, but it’s shitty to add things into someone else’s song without even checking with them first. If Ellison wants to be a songwriter that bad, why didn’t he do it the first 20 years he was in the band???
Also, after following this drama for a while, and being a fan of Megadeth since the demos, I am very aware of Ellefson‘s passive voice. All the people Who have been in and out of Megadeth and this is the first time it was about Metallica??? He casually ignores that he sued the Megadeth organization for 22 million and lost horribly. He acts like his nearly 60 year old ass going after a barely legal girl is anything like normal…
Lastly, nine out of the 12 new songs have Kiko‘s contribution. One has Dirks… kinda hilarious that people keep saying that he doesn’t want anybody’s contributions but over 75% of the new songs have other people‘s contributions and they get publishing.
Isn't Dave a born again Christian? He sure doesn't act like one. Praying for him. To be born again is to Repent, be washed of past sins and become selfless! I don't know Dave but I know his struggles with ego, dark arts and illness. I pray for him. As we all should, but we should all reflect on our lives and live by example not judgement. We are given one life. Do well by it. I see a man still afraid, angry. I see that in all of us. God asks to lay our burdens at the Cross. Pray.
He is childish, all the way, talks shit of everybody, not a good person, he s Mr jekyl and hyde…it s his personality.. graeat musician, but not a good man. Met him over 4 days, Nice really Nice the next day he will mock You. You never Know wich dave You meet. Great muscian. No doubt.
@@SMEDSRUDmusic I agree 100 percent. I met Dave twice myself. The first time, just an A hole. Second time, the nicest guy you would ever want to meet. I have often wondered if he has Bi polar or something like it.
Mustaine has talent but his band isn't the Beatles. He is such an egomaniac...and for not playing Conjuring live PA LEASE!!! Start playing The Wheels on the Bus.
Most people aren’t pious. Most people choose to only follow parts of a religion that appease their egos.
Mustaine is an egotistical asshole, so I’m sure he only follows portions of Christianity that appease him and disregards everything else.
I remember you on Montagraph's channel.
wow, I thought that album was horrifically bad but listening to this song-it's really awesome, and the bass intro suits it perfectly.I am glad I got to hear it again. I'll be listening to this song a lot more and re exploring the back catalogue because I love the new album. I really liked dystopia but this new album I prefer even more
This drama will pay off when they reunite to actually sell a few albums. I think Dave is a goofball for kickin this dude out that fans consider a critical member.
Dave mustaine never wants to give anyone credit but himself it had to be hard for ellefson to stick it out all these years dave is a great example of what drives you also torments you or something like that
He should play all instruments and then call it " megadave"
Junior seems like a genuine guy with integrity
Ellefson is a nice, likable person. He is born again and walks the walk. Mustaine is kinda toxic. He claims to be born again but acts like a jerk a lot of the time - can't even handle talking the talk lol! Whatever
"Kinda"??
Sure, if kinda means "very"!
@@lueysixty-six7300 I was trying to be nice lol!
And Dave E started doing stuff with Jeff Young again. I don't think Ellefson has ever really burned any bridges with the former Megadeth band-mates that Mustaine regularly disposes of like trash.
I’m only born once. Lol!!!!
It's really interesting to hear Ellefson's side of everything.
And the new band members laugh nervously as Dave trashes a supposed "friend" who he basically started the band with...kinda awkward
Love-Hate relationship with Mustaine, largely within the last few records. Truth be told I’m not sure I’ll buy another Megadeth record. With only one original member I think the band lost something. Mustaine can be such a jerk and vindictive.
Vindictive jerk indeed. But it doesn't seem to matter who is in the band- DM is Megadeth. By the way this new album kicks ass. I think it may be his best in years.
One of my favorite bands of all time -- have seen them over 10 times live including the RIP tour ... that being said I am just not that enthused about the new album despite being bombarded by all media. You can see that Junior is giving us the full story, and it feels true, whereas Dave M. --- why is he bringing Kingmaker up? Dissing Junior? Observing him for decades, Mustaine is trying to create drama. Instead I wish he would address his inner demons. He is running out of time. You would think he would get his act together after his recent brush the the big C. While I did really like Dystopia, the albums since World Needs a Hero are different -- 'that band is long gone' explains a lot. Their live appearance on Trunk is the first time that I really felt the band was missing something, and it was Dave M, not the backing band. It is like the love of the music has left, and he is just going through the motions for money. I will probably get the latest album, but I think Dave M. is giving me permission to move on to a new favorite band... namely Jinjer!
@@stevegosney Complete agreement there. I really enjoyed everything from KIMB thru Youthanasia. Really liked Thirteen and Dystopia. Everything else is just meh. I just can't get into the new record. It's just lacking to me. So many are praising it and it makes me wonder if I am missing something.
@@X-Factor-by2kz nah -- just the typical release date propaganda. Just like every time Mustaine hires a new guitar player, it is like "when Ozzy met Randy" or every new album, it is "goin back to our roots, like Rust in Peace or Peace Sells." All just talk to fire up fans.
Ellefson was probably thinking "How can we make Kingmaker not sound too much like Children of the Grave?".
Dave mustaine is like a walking caricature of the worst parts about being religious and sober. "Rules for thee but not for me"
The only person who was ever in Daves way was Dave himself.
DSM-5. If you know anything about npd (narcissistic personality disorder) you know Dave Ellefson ain't lying, and you also know Dave Mustaine is a flagrant, malignant, narcissist. #pathological insecurity
F Mustaine
Ok now I have to listen to "kingmaker" :)
That bass part was cool as fuck 🤟🏼🤟🏼
It does fit Dave , and if he would have used something in the song then Mustaine would have said you took his line out of the song. Either way you weren’t gonna win in Dave’s head.
i would like to hear the song with the changed part and decide for myself, which song is better
It’s obvious to anyone who has been around since the early 80s to know that Dave is an innovator when it comes to thrash, no one disputes this. However, he is a life long depressive and can’t, or won’t take ownership of his own shortcomings. It’s Metallica’s fault he is not happy, it’s Marty’s fault on why he left, it always seems to be someone else’s fault. He reminds me a lot of Aaron Rogers …extremely talented but everywhere he is something or someone else is to blame for things not working out. It’s a shame because he is THE riff master …you put the Riffs from Youthanasia and let Metallica have them and they would turn it into gold. Dave should have just become a producer for Metallica and been happy.
But isn't Kingmaker very much like Children of the Grave? It's the same phrasing exactly. I like the song. Just an observation!
pretty much is 🤣
Can you imagine being Dirk or Kiko having to listen to this? I think both of them should knock on Devin Townsend's door, see what he wants to do. Can't believe James agreed to come back.
Dave and dave were together for so long I think they just got to that point where they started getting under each others skin and needed a break from each other. It happens. Just be careful what you say about each other cause the day will or could come again where you've had enough time apart that you start missing each other and want to reunite to make some more killer music or just go out touring doing all your classic hits. Basically they fight like Brothers cause they are Brothers from different Mothers.
Mustaine is toast.
He doesn’t look so healthy either, Spiritually.
I’ve seen people with cancer that looked more Spiritual, more alive, more grateful!
He’s the opposite.
Condemning and making fun of people is childish.
The devil won in his case.
He literally just beat cancer last year
@@michealrosen
All the more reason to not be a childish douche!
Wow. Well the break up and Ellefson been fired from the band wasn’t such a big surprise after hearing this.
Mustaine wanted anything use to kick him out.
@@symbologee yes it certainly looks this way. When it all went down I was shocked that Mustaine abandoned him and left him out on his own. Now it’s clear to see - there were other things at play
@@thelolguy007 What Ellefson did was between him and her. Mustaine just had another bipolar moment.
@@symbologee that’s right. Mustaine used it to get rid of Ellefson
Maybe Greg Christian and David Ellefson should form a band
David Ellefson is your one true friend Dave. Somebody who doesn't sugarcoat shit and keeps coming back to your aide in times of duress. What if you get back on the shit again and need an ass chewing from somebody who cares(cared). Shit move to take your ego out on him and do what Metallica did to you. You're also way too old and rich to hang on to the it's ok to be a petty rockstar image dude. Glad you're still with us and jamming though, Rust In Peace(book) is a great read.
metallica kicked mustaine out because they can no longer bare his bad behavior which is pretty much a fair assessment. Because after that metallica is not known for kicking band members and was always sentimental in keeping a certain lineup together as much as possible as was shown when ulrich and kirk literally went to newsted to beg him to not leave but was snubbed by jason ultimately.
@@jansandman6983 And Jason's the one who practices the most, hypocrites.
Mr Mustaine,
If you ignore something long enough...it will go away.
Ellefson gonna Ellefson .....
he will never make anything original of himself.... just ride coattails on someone else's music or speak dirt in interviews if he thinks he needs some attention.
At the end of the day... he just played the bass the way he was told to play it. And the most replaceable member of the band.
He needs to move on and do something original.... not just leech off of being a former member of an iconic band that he was blessed to be alloweed to play in.
He is just responding to the story Dave has been bringing up lately, accusing him of wanting to "poach" his song. Sadly, it also makes you think that Mustaine is bashing him to promote the new Megadeth album.
Is this really a “new” story? Dave Mustaine being Dave Mustaine? I wish they could all get along and just stuck by each other’s side after all these years and ups and done and the struggles life have put them through. Unfortunately that’s not how things roll! especially with Megadeth! Lol
Dave looks ghastly. He looks 20 years older than his actual age. He also proves he's not Mr. Positivity in this Trunk interview. He's a petty, egomaniac who expects full loyalty to him in his dark times, and NO loyalty to anyone else in theirs. Mustaine went out of his way to bash former band mates in this interview for no reason.
In Dave’s defense many great songs there were arguments, fighting over everything and the outcome is usually better. When only one song written gets their was usually the song is too tame. I remember a song my last band wrote there was so much arguing we all got so mad at each other we took it so personally and that song ended up being one of our best songs and looking back the song would have sucked if that didn’t happen, I had parts that I wanted to be longer but would have been stupid to be longer, the singer wanted this stupid effect on the whole intro but sounded better only for a couple words.
there's a reason why a band is called a band. it's because it's suppose to be a collection and collaboration of all people within a band to create fits that are better done by many creative minds than just one.
Check out Dave M’s lower lip
It looks like he’s pouting constantly
Like drool constantly pools in his lower gums
He kicked you out of the band?..congrats Im extremly happy for you.
Mustaine the grumpy old man lol. Those are my riffs David! 😀
He was born grumpy. Go read his auto-biography, he gripes and nitpicks about everything and everyone.
He only says this now he isn't in the band, he wasn't planning on leaving until he got fired lol
Ellefson should have never come back the second time.
It pains me to say so but Dave has not changed much . He is a bad ass on guitar but he just needs to live and let live now.
@@karlsalocks true there are many guitarist better than Dave but he does seem to keep the riffs coming .megadeth at this point is better than Metallica,solos much better riffs better than Metallica.but Metallica are good for the style they are doing I guess .I stop listening to them after in justice.and your right about Nikki that boy can’t play that 4 string to save his life.
Dave E is right on the money here sounds like Dave M. is still living in the past and dragging Dave.E. through the mud just to push his new album? Pretty damn low if you ask me¥
Mustaine just being a baby about this. Got live that the group Chris Shawn formed is called Act of Defiance I am sure that pissed Mustaine off.
Then again Dave Mustaine is the soul founder, he can say what will go on the record
I wonder how long this version of Megadeth will last I like Mustaine and have a lot of respect for him but I'd hate to be in band with him
They have said for years that Mustaine is a real pain in the ass to work with, I guess that explains the thousands of lineup changes in Megadeth over the years
Dave Mustaine is a bully by the sound of that and a nightmare to work with/for.
What's revealing is that after Metallica kicked him out, James, Lars, and Kirk stuck together for almost 40 years now, while Dave can't keep literally anyone in Megadeth besides himself. BTW, there's an old James/Cliff interview, circa 1985, where they clearly don't have respect for Mustaine when the interviewer brings him up.
Mustaine must reign.
I love Megadeth, but Mustaine acts like he's 12 years old.
Jr is so full of it!!!! lol!
Dave's a top level musician.. but as a person, n what most interviews ive seen of him he seems to need some womans midol! Even when he's sober he seems to need it.
Mustaine can be a d**k for sure. I've heard him yell at an intern at Henson studio in Hollywood. His lounge was next to ours and one day we could hear, through an adjoining door, Dave admonishing the intern for not brewing a fresh pot of coffee fast enough. He said very loudly, "I want this coffee changed out every 20 minutes..". So we got a bull horn and spent several days taking turns blaring out ridiculous, unreasonable demands at the adjoining door followed by raucous booms of laughter. Good times indeed;) For the record we all still liked the guy and his legacy but funny is funny
So that would explain Dave's comment "already strained relationship" clearly going back years and by the sound of it pretty soon after Jr came back in. Perhaps, it goes back to when David sued, but I have to agree with David then why bring him back? I have always been a Megadeth fan, I was so happy when Dave kicked his drug demons but I have never understood the switching out of members some very talented musicians btw over the years.
Any aspiring musician who gets a gig with Megadeth should look at it as a short time role. Is it insecurities or all about money and writing credits?
Talent and good personality doesn't always go hand in hand.
Brought it back because of the Big 4 tours, he probably wanted to use a nostalgia factor. He was also negotiating with Marty but the latter wasn't content with what was offered to him.
@@hectorantias3173 And Chris Poland has gotten back involved a couple times, but never fully joined the band again. My understanding is that after Dave used Chris's Rust in Peace demo tracks for the RIP re-issue in 2004, Chris and Dave squabbled about rights/money issues and since then they've been estranged from each other.
I like the intro to Kingmaker. Dave is a negative Nancy
Bit like Metallica, James and lars want credit for every song. Seen it in hardwired when making the album, Robs idea’s getting passed by and lars telling Kirk how to do his solos. Still like both bands but think we would have had way more brilliant songs if they just let more of the band have a input.
So sad, because Ellefson was the OTHER HALF of MEGADETH!!!!!!
They made Great tunes together and now, they go their separate ways!!!! The mud slinging is very juvenile!!!!!
Best of Luck to Dave Ellefson!!!!! He’s gonna Kick-A** with his new band!!!!!🤘🤘🤘
Ii feel bad for Kiko. Seems like a nice dude. I bet he just shows up and plays and does not even talk to Dave.
People Have GOT To Remember, Megadeth is Dave Mustaine... No different than Zakk Wyldes Black Label Society. Dave is Megadeth, he Writes Everything and is the Main Producer.
it was recorded in 2013 So NOW he's complaining about it?
Yea but still Ellefson is a cofounder of Megadeth.
**Dace Ethcard,** - A *DICK'S a DICK!*
Got it? ....you're defending a dude because he houses and controls his own band? Take a look at Iron Maiden's, Steve Harris. Those blokes in Maiden take care of their crewmembers. Imma-gonna-slappa-you-wit-da-wet-spaghetti. Mama Mia
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 That's True. In Ways.
He's been there since the beginning anyways. But it's Still Mustaine's band.
It does suck the way things went, But as Said Megadeth is more than a band, their a Brand. 🤘🤘
@@Ace13Drums some of my favorite songs of theirs were off soundtrack albums and other singles. Kill the King, Angry Again (Last Action Hero) then 99 Ways To Die (Beavis and Butt-Head album)
Poor Junior!!!
Such a stand up guy! Getting treated like that!!?..... complete trash.
Dave is a grumpy man. Great songwriter but grumpy man.
Dude sued Dave mustaine. I wouldn't let him write anything either. Dudes a back stabber
Why share songwriting credit if you're the head of the band? That's where the money is. If you write all the songs, you get most of the money in the band.
It's pathetic because the intro to Kingmaker did fit the song. It wasn’t out of place as Mustaine claims. It had the same notes.
it was great intro, for me
For me it was too short, i could feel it leading me into the song but then it just cut into the song, it should been longer
@@kimfalch2976 I agree
Ellefson was a huge part of Megadeth and it sucks they did him dirty but I guess since Dave Mustaine has a younger 20 year old daughter it was awkward for him.
Seems like poor Ellefson never gets the credits he deserves for being a founding & legit member. Nevermind Kings of Thrash is gonna kick out balls.
I can see how it would feel like that when one thought they were some kind of co founder and not just another hired band member, which was the reality you could never accept.
For all you kids thinking you have teh whole story, look back before your parents were even born and you will find him acting like a douche forever.
And yet Ellefson kept on coming back to the band!
Money
Ellefson should do his own thing anyway.
@@Taylor.Dude. I doubt it after the whole scandal will David! But never say never!
Well he has bills to pay just like we all do
It was blues riffs david was working on
New Megadeth blow's! Dystopia was great but I guess Jr may have influenced the better.
Longtime Megadeth fan. Dave M. just seems judgy & holier than thou these days. With Dave E. for now on.
Dave’s nickname given to him by his ex band mates is the little dictator ..
I don't get why Dave Ellefson has to be kicked out when he started Megadeth with Mustaine.
Mustaine is to Metallica like MSNBC is to Trump. 😅
....we all know Dave is difficult to work with, but let's talk about it for another few hours...🤣.
then it came to be
😂
He needed to be humbled a few times. The nerve damage didn’t, the loss of band members didn’t. He’s a tyrant.
Not a big fan of supercolider kind of bad. Dave vs Dave the battle continues.
Dave M new Gibson endorsement makes more sense now. Dave is in like minded company with Gibson.
If any of that bullshit were true....be happy and move on your free now...no more coattails to hang onto. Maybe now jr can write some of his own music rather than just playing bass.
Ellefson was asleep in Megadeth the last 6 or 7 years, looked miserable and bored up there, and the energy between both Daves has been weird. Mustaine had enough at the right time.
Dave Mustaine must be a nightmare to work with. No wonder why Metallica kicked him out.
Sounds to me like he should had quit once he realized that
