Amen-He had it bad with my old mistress, Heroin. He passed out asleep on his arm, and woke up with a numb arm. I believe he had to have surgery to finally address the nerve damage. I'm glad Dave survived and got it together. I like who he is now.

Fuckin amen.

Take what? The drugs?? Lol

"here, take a hit." -early mustaine

+Luís Pedro Having a wife and children takes it to a whole low level.

+Raukawahine77 pot is an entheogen you dumb fuck

+Raukawahine77 you're a fuckin moron. the 'gateway' drug bullshit has been disproven over and over. notice your 'caps lock talk'....emotional arguments instead of logica based ones. go peddle your bullshit elsewhere. nobody is going to buy your bullshit.

***** more unfounded bullshit. likely his first encounter with any substance was with....wait for it.....caffeine...the world's most commonly used psychoactive and addictive drug. if you smoke cigarettes, drink wine occasionally and drink a coffee a day...then you take more drugs than i do and they are far harsher than anything i take. your 'reefer madness' bullshit doesnt fool anybody. i live in a state where medical marijuana (which im a patient) has been legal for years even for children....and now, recreational marijuana is legal. what were the results of legalizing marijuana in my state? good question (which is likely why it didnt cross your mind to ask)... ..the answer....in Washington state, after one year of legalization, studies have found: *Major Fiscal Benefits, Decrease in Violent Crime, No Increase in Youth Marijuana Use or Traffic Fatalities - And Massive Drop in Marijuana Arrests* (source - www.drugpolicy.org/news/2015/07/marijuana-legalization-washington-state-one-year-status-report ) imagine that. when marijuana is legalized recreationally, the world not only doesnt fall apart but it works a bit better. again, nobody buys your bullshit nor do they buy your emotionally driven arguments. all of your arguments are all founded in ignorance and it's painfully obvious.

+Raukawahine77 How do you know it wasn't alcohol he tried first? Or pills from his parents medicine cabinet? Lots of people do those before they ever smoke pot. I've seen far more people try hard drugs like coke,meth, and opiates for the first time after heavy drinking then after they smoked pot. I know plenty of pot smokers who have never touched anything else. I know plenty of people who've done coke or gotten into popping pills who never smoked weed. The "gateway drug" argument has no weight. The same type of argument makes a far more compelling case for alcohol or even more so caffeine being the actual gateway drug.

Well, he's a very articulate and inteligente man since he became Christian.

@@ankihansen2489 well, since he leaned his life up, Christian or not.

@@MrBruinman86 Turning into a Christian made him re-evaluate his life. 😊

When I hear him talk all I hear is a man who is an egomaniac.

Ryan M. Dave isn’t an egomaniac...

You either lover or hate him, but he made some valid points.

Scott was on the decline of his musical career. It's hard to say if it was the drugs or if he just had writer;s block

Imagine someone telling you you're going to have all the pussy and drugs you could ever want

+TJ Anderson Don't forget Keef Riffhard, too. I can't believe that guy is still alive!

+TJ Anderson Same with Duff.

+Fakename70 Yeah, him and also Ozzy are very lucky to still be around.

+TJ Anderson No doubt it amazes them, too!

yearginclarke Actually, if a Black Sabbath bio I read within the last few months is to be believed, it's not Ozzy, but, Bill Ward who is "very lucky to still be around." MAJOR drugs habit. So much so, that, when Bonham died, Ward figured he'd be next. At least Ozzy has Sharon to keep him sorted. Ward never had that.

Seriously jealous

Must've been a good show. STP probably gave Megadeth serious competition each night.

@@napoleonsolo5929 The crowd HATED STP. They were booing and throwing shit. And compared to the high speed Megadeth, STP just felt very bland. Megadeth blew them off the stage imo

@@Beholder505 and then STP proceeded to sell over 40 million records. So honestly it worked out in the end for them

@@lilty3778did it? Scott died so idk if it was the best thing as Dave alluded too.

I think it takes a vocal genius to sound like both Kurt Cobain AND Eddie Vedder on the same album. People can say what they want about Core, but it was a more solid album than Nevermind and Ten (yes, I said it lol) and if anything, it was really smart and really talented to be able to match the sound of the two biggest bands at the time.

RAZIMUS GAMING my favorite 90s band

No Gas Productions I used to cruise in the early 90s in my friends jeep every summer with the top down and three buddies heading to the parties and bars etc...lighting it up every night....and Core was on cover to cover most nights

More solid than Nevermind? Probably. But more solid than Ten? I don't think so, I mean, both are great albuns top to bottom, but I think Ten is more fluid... idk. Coming from a PJ fan it'll sound suspicous, but it's what I feel.

The vh1 unplugged set stp played was one of the best ever. Scott sounded great and the band was on point. One of the best Alternative bands.

Yup, totally not the music standing out for itself! Why isn't this fact on STP's Wikipedia?!

@@WoockerSocket2Robert himself talks about it on the latest Rick Beato STP interview. Dave did a lot for them. Go have a listen.

DAVE for president!!@

I believe when its my time, its my time..

@@michaelhorn9114 Vic Rattlehead 2020!

He really doesn't seem that bad. Seems like he's been through a lot and seen people get destroyed and knew what you could and couldn't walk away from.

@@lauramalizia9636 He could be a dick at times, but I'm inclined to believe that was just the smack talking.

Mark Boyd What venue in NOLA was that show at?

+Borr Magilicutty He was fucking amazing. In "Atlanta" he almost sounds like Jim Morrison. He had a chameleon voice, he could adapt and do anything.

+Timi T. Agreed. If the question is the most versatile? Mike Patton.

+Borr Magilicutty You guys are so right after Jim and Corry the best vocalist of the past 40 years. So missed, chasing that fucken dragon. Rest in peace. Your music is loved forever just like The Doors and The Nine. \....../ Too much metal for one hand!!!!(But the Grey Chapter .5 is amazing)

+greaterJAY wooo Patton!

+Olvi Langstrumpf ...and we have a fellow Pattonist in the house! Kudos!

+Mungebimp13 I respected Dave, fairly so, up until he 'found Jesus'. What a crock of shit .

+J Ro In AK "Found Jesus" and lost his f'ing mind.

Kalentros Yep that's what happens to most famous musicians when they speak out for a political/religious group. They end up sounding like a lunatic. I am religious but man they make us all sound fucking dumb as shit

I'm a recovering X-tian turned atheist. No need for a fictional 'sky daddy', thanks.

J Ro In AK I call it the "invisible sky wizard".

iamjeona Who are you?

Well, Dan is great but great guitarists are quite common, that can´t be said about bassists.

Alice In Chains

While this is true and dean has one of my favorite solos of all time, Robert was sorta just on another level on bass which just stands out more. Thats probably a bit unfair but its like being the guitar player in Type O Negative. Sure, pretty damn talented actually but c'mon that bass is gonna be the first or second thing you remember after your first listen.

It's cuz the STP guys came from a hard rock background, not punk rock like most of the early underground grunge brands, so they put a lot more emphasis on clean musicianship than bands like Mudhoney or Nirvana did. STP were immediately signed to a major label instead of working their way up through the underground, and I think the types of bands who get immediately signed to majors tend to be the ones who are more career-oriented and disciplined enough to work on polishing up their musicianship. Soundgarden probably were the most musically complex grunge band though, cuz lots of their songs used deceptively off-kilter time signatures.

because robert wrote most of the songs/melodies.

+CJAdams97 Booze and dope can do that.

+Nigel Fortune Because they say it's the best high ever. I don't know who said it, but they try to replicate the very first time they do it and end up becoming slaves to the needle.

Man thats sad they keep chasing after that first high :-(

+Nigel Fortune One of the few musicians who did something potent like acid only once because he knew that he'd never get the same perfect high again was Ron Asheton from The Stooges. Iggy did heroin, Navarro did heroin, Al Jourgensen did heroin... many people did that shit and found it extremely hard to quit. Lemmy never tried it because a girl he loved died by the needle, if I'm not mistaken.

when your a rock musician you walk around full of passion, It is very hard for your ego to just deflate during down time ..and it becomes a real dangerous liability . drugs become a way to soothe this transition... sometimes at a deadly cost.

Legit. Everyone says "Dave's so arrogant" but you can't be arrogant when you actually ARE one of the best! If Dave gave me advice on fucking anything I would damn well do it.

Good on you for standing up. Sometimes people are way too quick to judge.

No you're absolutely right just keep your stuff locked up.. if you own anything of value..

His obscene payments to his ex wife for support are what kept him touring. He couldn't afford the time off, she was sucking him dry.

You can't force anyone into rehab . It as to come from that person . Or it won't work

Yes. Dave‘s bluntness is very refreshing. He keeps it very real.

That's called the spin cycle

How are you now after 7 years?

He also died

willr455 hard to do when everything said is probably true. -some metalhead

nah

That makes many many of us fans

James P man sounds really bad. I hope you can get off it and get help you need. What dose it feel like taking heroin? I never had any drug apart from weed.

James P sorry to hear that man

+LAYUCHEBI it's a Euphoria, if you go from not using straight to heroin , you're gonna fuckin od cause u got no tolerance, just about everypne starts off like I did, just popping them pharma's like hydrocodone, have you ever had Dilaudid in the hospital after a surgery? that's the same shit. actually even as a 10+ year junkie, I still preferred hydromorphone to heroin, thsts Dilaudid. the rush you get from IV is intense. it's like busting nut but over your entire body , goes down your spine. it's pure bliss for about 15 seconds but man, it becomes ALL ALLLLLL ABOUT getting well and staying well as long as possible, running from withdrawal is all it becomes, u shoot up just to get unsick u don't even get high anymore. shit I hadn't had a good nod since like 2009

+LAYUCHEBI but I'm doin loads better , I'm down to 60mg methadone and on a taper, I got fucking awesome friends on tumblr that talk me thru shit and are always there for me, real friends. emphasis on real! u can't beat it by yourself. I've also come out about my molestation as a kid by my father and I hadn't spoken about that shit to anyone. probably the root of all my fucked up problems. no doubt ... so yeah been doin alot of self discovery, learning to trust people and open up. it's a long uncomfortable process, but shit will change unless you're willing to do those kinds of things. thanks for your concern mate. I appreciate hearing anypne give a fuck , means a lot

Good luck man, hope you can beat it....

And he could have stuck with alcohol and weed. Didn't have to go harder than that.

@@samkinison2375 Wut. Mustaine had 10 different chemicals in his body during the peak of his drug intoxication and addiction and went to rehab 17 times. Heroin, Cocaine, crack and freebase was a huge part of Megadeth's history.

@@samkinison2375 So his drug choice wasn't just alcohol, dummy.

Speedball

@@samkinison2375 Read his fucking book, he smoked freebase everyday with Ellefson and did lines of coke. Dumbfuck. Don't comment on what you don't know.

He probably told Scott every night on tour to just go back to the bus and avoid the after party.

+sparkymoo It's only thing a real man can talk about...because you don't know what is in other people minds or how they see, feel etc. Other than that it would just be condescending...but whatever.

+sparkymoo The funny thing is that they were probably doing the same before the set-list advice as after. Or if they improved with the audience, other factors may have been involved. But Dave, before the advice, was probably sitting there all anxious and frustrated, and after the advice was probably standing on the side, watching with a father like pride over the child he helped raise. Suddenly, after the great advice, they were doing fabulous. Thanks Dad, I mean Dave. Now that he's dead, way to get one last ego boost out of it.

jimmi izzy Exactly. Colossal egomaniacal, self-important, delusional "almost" a rock star.

+sparkymoo The part where he takes credit for STP's success was pretty funny. Fucking egomaniac.

+sparkymoo I thought the exact same thing. I love megadeth and daves guitar playing but damn...he's a cock.

Hardly. Even Alan Freed was more important.

+heres johnny Actually, he really is that good, but maybe not in all the exact ways you said. Mustaine is a huge talent, huge huge, and he did help put a lot of big things in motion.

+Snake Plissken Yes, yes! So this re-arrangement suggestion by way of the olive branch of Mustaine, triggered STP to become so concerned with future setlists that it drove them to new heights, as well as extreme lows. Thus creating a need to medicate one's self to cope with this ever growing MegaStress if you will yeah?

+Snake Plissken wake up dude. You can play it 2 times, gg.

***** What do mean am I high? he just said that he killed Scott Weiland

***** Scott Weiland was going nowhere, Dave Mustaine rearranged his setlist and by doing so turned him into a multi platinum record selling superstar which caused him to develop a serious drug addiction and dependency that ended up leading to his death. If Dave Mustaine just minded his own business Scott Weiland's music career would have fizzled out and he would have got a job at McDonald's flipping burgers and by now he'd be living a happy drug free life an assistant manager at McDonald's.

Snake Plissken I am a vegetarian assistant manager at McDonald's and a fan of STP, I would hire Scott and start him on drive-thru only if... Mustaine would re-arrange the menu.

....I was seventeen.

It's a hell of a lot more complicated than being selfish.

They are far from being the best vocalists of all time, but RIP nonetheless.
