Been a huge fan of Dave's since 84

prove it

@@dr.loomis4221 how would one prove something like that i used to catch the new metal bands on a various radio programs and that's how i heard of them i guess they were playing the various bars and clubs in California like the whiskey never got to see them live until 89 had tickets to the M.U.Y.A. concert but wasnt able to get there which really sucks i got a METALLICA poster early and just thought Dave looked like a total ROCKSTAR LOVED HIS HAIR HE CAN SHRED

Cool!

I've heard that he can be the coolest

jup same

True they drove to the audition together of course they were close.

Lol you believe that? He's bitter about being kicked out still.

Nah, he cared for a very very long time. Only recently did he kinda start letting go. But he is gennuenly sad for Cliff

Please,if someone could explain. What is the reference to Cliff reference.

Yeah....He is going to be answering those same questions until the day he dies....

Felt the same thing.. especially when he goes into reexplaining the metallica-to-megadeth phase .. Rogan should’ve done his homeworks prior

He was a legend before Metallica, just undiscovered.

Dave brought up Metallica on his own here.

Mustaine is the one who brought up Metallica here lmao

Yeah it only took him 30 years to get over no longer being in Metallica.

@@captain_context9991 I mean I'd probably be pissed about it too love or hate the guy there's really no argument that he's not a better musician than any of the metallica guys. Sure he was a shitty drug dude back then but a fucking genius at what he did, and for them to use his stuff so fragrantly against his wishes is pretty lame. Edit: thought about it and cliff Burton was definitely up there with Dave dude was a monster.

He believes in voodoo magic and curses

@@groovecrusader2715 He is American and famous. Every famous American believes they are "blessed", special, and hold weird beliefs. No, really... Every single one.

@@captain_context9991 he was doing voodoo stuff in his teens, he said he cursed a girl

Sounds fuckin awesome

That's cool. I saw Megadeth at Mayhem Festival in Atlanta in 2011 and he wasn't feeling well so they only played like 3 songs.

Life is amazing when you truly care about life.

At ozzfest right?

@@TheMetalBeatle92 Sadly no, was a tour when Dio came back to perform with Sabbath again. This was probably around 2009 or so? Maybe 2010. Down was the opener, then Megadeth, then Sabbath with Dio.

@Dave Mustaine 🅥 There was always someone listening, I heard your voice and it's messages. You helped save me from myself many times over I missed you at the Florida theater, I rode by on the bus and seen you walk off into the venue💔... Thanks for always being there for me Dave, in my darkest hour I wasn't alone because of you. And I'm alive today because of that.

It's been a long time coming

Me too, this is crazy!

@Dave Mustaine 🅥 THE METAL COMMUNITY LOVES THIS SO MUCH!!!!!!!

Wait till you listen to it, Not Too "Perfect". Unless you're looking for a smackdown of Dave Mustaine (which isn't supposed to be the purpose of an interview)

Dave Mustain is one of the most bitter and resentful individuals I’ve ever heard. Maybe he’s over it now but it’s only taken him 40 years.

@@stephenmeredith4128 Dude the experience if not will make you bitter. He is more than a lead guitarist he is a contributor and he wrote some of their songs. Not to forget he is the father of thrash metal. Thanks to bitterneas Megadeth was born the best thrash metal band ever.

@@stephenmeredith4128 I mean how would you feel if someone stole your song writing material and gained billions of dollars in wealth from it.

Growing up as a Jehovah Witness teaches you Morals and respect. Unless you have been to their Halls and meetings and observed what they are taught, don't bother commenting. They are very aware people trying to mimic Jesus teachings. They saved my Life i know.

He’s incredibly psychotic. Metallica dodged a bullet by firing this idiot

Question. Didn't homie get kicked off the group? I read off a book that Metallica before they were famous and all kicked Dave off without even telling him why. He packed up and dipped afterwards.

​@@Rvainlefty he was a mess when they kicked him out..

@@sammygaudino8906if he was such a mess, how was he able to write most of the guitar parts for kill ‘em all and a few parts of ride the lightning? If he scarred the members of the band so badly, why did they still use his riffs and solos for the first two albums? No one’s gonna say he was a saint but it’s hard to say he didn’t play a massive role in making Metallica Metallica

@@zentazym1and Metallica had far more success when they came away from the Metallica megadave helped craft at the time those first two albums weren’t popular it was justice that put them on the map and with cliff being the only real musician in the band without him nothing sounded the same ever again they lost their melody , but megadave went on to create arguably the best metal album ever and Metallica the biggest so was best for all parties I think

@@amshia0121 No, those first two albums mattered tremendously. Otherwise agree with you

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 seriously though, on some level, Lars probably needs a weekly smacking. I think Jason should get first shot.

@El Mango lmao, James wrote the most iconic riffs. Kill Em All is their 4th best album.

@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 🤣

They had one good album

@@MrShanester117 according to you, and literally nobody else. Killing is my business, so far so good, peace sells, rust in peace, countdown to extinction, youthanasia, and dystopia. That’s a hell of a lot more than one good album.

Rest assured I just seen him perform a couple days ago; no headbanging but his voice was better than ever! Age has really refined his voice. I've seen him several times.

@@MrShanester117 so you only heard 1 of their albums.

As big as megadeth is in their genre. I always felt they were a little under appreciated. So glad Dave got to be on the biggest podcast in the world

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 .

He believes in hexes 😂

Ummm he was kickex because of the drugssss

Genuine shame that it hasn't made him happy. The chip on his shoulder about Metallica is still his defining characteristic, unfortunately.

Amen ❤ So true

Dave mustaine seems more chill than the rest of metallica

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.

Guitarist in a metal band vs. leader of Megadeth. Easy choice.

It would have never worked anyway...he is way too good of a guitar player, song writer, and wouldn't put up with Lars' BS laziness for a second.

@@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.

@nunya business He created Megadeth an the greatest Thrash Metal Album in History Rust in Peace. In Metallica he would ve never had that Freedom.

Rust in peace till today !)

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.

No you didn't bro

@@mfmm6699bro what

@@smuglef tf do you mean "what" he didn't meet him

@@mfmm6699 You would have no idea

@@ChrisJohnson-ib5fp idc he lying bruh

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.

was he checking to see if his Metal Militia royalties arrived?

He does, but he just carries that chip on his shoulder and always will and it's given us great music lol

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!

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...

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?"

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

Thanks for the love and support, where are you from?

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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)

Peace sells, but ain't nobody bought none.

@@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.

holy shit thanks for reminding me of asphyxia havent listen to them in YEARS!

@@nomercy1123 Not many people get that. You are welcome!

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.

He's still crying about Metallica but yeah.

New songs are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

@@mikeschmidt4800 Living life to the full baby.

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.

@@Michael15_25 no cause the music is what matters

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

I doubt it

Been listening to them from the beginning, aged with them, ugg...

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.

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.

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

@@LuciusVKayne 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.

it s only gonna be in spotify

I really enjoyed learning about keeping bees and living off the land. Wanna get there someday.

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”
