Dave Mustaine Apologizes to Metallica,Slayer,Ex-Megadeth members

[LoungeMachine]

Me thinks Dave Mustaine will never again be able to take the stage without at least one eye looking for a gun.

A firecracker alone would probably give him a coronary

[Mezro]

He should apologize for calling his fans Droogies.

Mezro...hello Droogies, welcome to Camp Douche...

[Warham]

What a pussy.

[loss of fools]

he shouldent apologize to metallica for anything

"Droogies!

"Tonight I had the honor and priveledge to host a special [MTV2 'Headbanger's Ball'] tribute to the life of Darrel 'Dimebag' Abbott.

"I went out to NYC Thursday at 9:30 PM on a redeye to do this, and during the period since then, I have had a good amount of time to reflect on my own life.

"I realized how fortunate I am, and have been to have met some of you, and in some cases become friends with many of you.

"What is bothering me is the people who I have not been able to meet, or worse, have met and ended up not being friends with. There are many.

"I would like to, in honor of Darrel's life, learn from him and how many friends he apparently had made.

"Over my career I have a lot of cleaning up to do on my side of the street as well as letting things go, for once and for all; I need to apologize to many people and also to forgive and quit holding grudges.

"Having said that, if there is something I did to you or someone you know, please give me the opportunity to make this right.

"To SLAYER and METALLICA: I am sorry for whatever I may have done in the past and wish to make it right, to put it behind us. Please let me know how and when we can talk this out.

"To previous bandmembers and managers: I say the same to you.

"To all the MEGADETH/METALLICA fans: from this day forward, there will never be another unkind word from my mouth perpetuating this silly 22-year-old feud.

"And to heavy metal fans around the world: I am going to emulate Dimebag by being more like him; more friendly, and more interested in your lives too, I promise.

"I am grateful to have been asked to come in this hour of darkness to represent us all as we come together and heal as a worldwide music community, and I would be a fraud if I didn't say I need to do more to better represent.

"Thank you in advance for your forgiveness and for your support

I wholeheartedly salute Mustaine for that. One of, if not the most, human thing (ideally and hopefully practically too) to admit to. I was never a Megadeth/Mustaine fan, but that's one helluva human and conscientious thing to say. Full applause. Ab-Salute.

Mustaine is a Puss !

Sounds like Mustaine is worried that someone might go after him.
What a puss!
He's never been at Dimebag' level.At best Mustaines a notch or two below. Mustanus wrote some great shit over the years ,but nothing he's done can compare to the pure raw crushing power of Dime, neither riffs or solos.
Mustaine should kick Lars in the cunt and form a band with Hetfield and Newsted !
Metallica died on September 26 1986. The day Cliff Burton died.
Poor fucker has been turning in his grave since they put out their dance hit "Sandman".

R.I.P. Dime
Gone but never forgotten.

Enter Sandman is far from being a "dance hit" and heavier than anything DLR or Van Halen has ever put out.

[Panamark]

diamondjimi, even you must realize that mustaine pretty much co-wrote the first two metallica albums... He (in my opinion) was as important as Cliff.

I agree that they were never the same without these two's influence.
As for Dimebag being a better riffmeister than Mustaine?
I guess everyone has their own opinions...
Im yet to hear any Pantera that compares with the best Megadeth.

Pantera was cool, dont get me wrong. But to disrespect Megadeth is a joke. They were/are metal pioneers and keep the flame burning.

Enter Sandman is a dance song ??

Dude, you gotta vent on the britneys and chrsitinas of this world. Not bonafide metal bands.. We need more metal !!!

[Warham]

Megadeth is higher on the list than Pantera. Longevity and quality have alot to do with that.

[ODShowtime]

It's a shame that it often takes a tradgedy for someone to pull their head out of their ass.

Whoa whoa whoa.

That song is no harder than Unchained.....I think you missed the point of the post.

Cliff Burton would have either quit Metallica when they started selling out and softening thier music in the early 1990's or he would have killed the other band members.

Metallica did die with Cliff, and now they suck donkey balls.

I dont know about that. In the "Cliff em all" video, there is an interview part with James and Cliff. The question of selling out is posed and cliff answers "Just because we added some harmonies and melodies to our stuff, and don't always play 1000 miles an hour anymore, if people think thats selling out....then whatever.

I agree that they have softened considerably since Master, And Justice...but the "Black" album is awesome, Load and Re-Load are just that(a few decent ones:Aint my bitch, King Nothing, Fuel) and I think St. Anger is the closest they have come to the old stuff yet. I love that album, granted its no "Ride" but its good.

[DLR7884]

The new stuff sucks.

The band was completely different after Cliff died, with the except on the Garage Days EP.

DLR7884
Did the band even release singles before Justice?

[Carmine]

listen to "to live is to die" on And Justice....Cliff wrote it! I said the band was different after Cliff died, some of the "fire" was gone. But I like the latest album, its better than load, reload or S&M(jesus). Their covers albums are great! All of them.

[DLR7884]

Sorry, I feel that anything after the black album is a waste.

DLR7884
Plus they have all become assholes.
